Hello, Perhaps you can send me in the right direction . . .

I own a pair of Radio shack BTX 121's business band radios and plan to
use these as part of a video crew communications system.

I'm looking for a small type "ear bud" vox headset to use with these
radios.
The model that Radio Shack makes is too too large. I need something less
obtrusive and wondered if anyone knows of a smaller headset that can be
used with the BTX-121? Radio shacks does sell a great small ear bud that
works only with the motorola model.  Or any that can be modified to fit
it?

Any advice greatly appreciated.  E-mail please.


Thanks


Bob

10 (ten) examples of a specific capacitor.  The item is a TRW series
X682 or X683 metallized film capacitor, hermetically sealed and produced
in the period from approximately 1965 through 1975.  These were
manufactured in the range of .01 mfd to 12.0 mfd with voltage ratings of
50 volts to 600 volts DC.  Any capacitance value and any voltage rating
is satisfactory.

YEP !, , Mine was made on a "Rolled Quaker Oats" container. The only

My first Ham "set" was a Heath "sixer"[1965], crystal controlled on
six meters AM.  Next one was a REAL step up, , , a ProComm six meter
sideband rig.

Yep, ,  those were the days alright, , , , Thank God the're gone, , ,

Is there someone who knows how to improve the extended
receive on a IC-3220??? I measured the sensitivity:
On 449.975 it's good. On 450.000 it's dramatically bad!!
I can't imagine there such a sharp filter in this radio.
Is there someone who figured this problem out?
My interests are for 460 - 470 MHZ.

     My first radio was a homebrew 75 watt HF rig, a 6AC7 driving
a pair of 6L6's. My receiver was a Lafayette HE-30A.

        Have you already found a sufficient number of those caps?  If
not, could you give a little more detailed description of their physical

Ernie:

If your looking for a TTL to RS-232 interface, it is easy to construct
one for very little money.

I hooked my computer to my TS440S, using a spare serial card (you can
find them for well under $10) and modified it to have TTL input/output
levels.  Many vintage serial cards use 1489 line receivers, and you can modify
the switching threshold to the 1.5 volt TTL level by floating the response
control pins (pins 2, 5, 9, 12, one for each of the 4 receivers).  These
cards usually use 1488 line drivers.  I replaced this with a quad 2 input NAND

gate TTL buffer.  There was a couple of pins that I had to reroute
(5V Vcc versus the +/-12V for the 1488) , but most the pins were the same.

As far as hooking up the serial card to the 440S, here is the connections:


                         TS440S                to              RS-232

                        Pin 1 (GND)                            Pin 7 (GND)
                        Pin 2 (TXD)                            Pin 3 (RXD)
                        Pin 3 (RXD)                            Pin 2 (TXD)
                        Pin 4 (CTS)                            Pin 20 (DTR)
                        Pin 5 (RTS)                            Pin 8 (RCSD)
                        Pin 6                                  not connected.


I don't recall whether or not the TS-690 comes with the interface ICs installe
d
or not.  The TS 440 doesn't, but the 2 specified in the manual are not too
hard to find (substitute a 71051C for the 8251C which is obsolete).

I hope that this helps.

Don

I've got 2 Motorola Radius mobile rigs (one is a D34LRA7PA5CK, the other is
a D44LRA73A5CK) that I would like to make in to a Ham-band 440 repeater.

Can anyone tell me:

1) What exactly these radios are (I'm fairly sure that they are both UHF)

2) Is there a controller I can use to "plug and play" with these radios
(other than the Motorola commercial one)

3) Any experiences, comments on using these radios in repeater service.

Thank you!

Ben,

This sounds interesting. I have noticed my FT101EE lately exhibiting a
similar problem. After a transmission of more than a few seconds, the
rx will go deaf, then a static noise will build for a few seconds,  a
small pop, then the rx is back fine. Think I will check that relay
tonight.

Thanks,
Phil

I was looking for different carrying options for my Yaesu FT-50 and
pretty much ran up against a wall...until now.  Just thought I'd pass
this along to others that might be interested.

Yaesu has introduced a new carrying case, the CSC-V10 (~$27 from AES),
which is ideal.

It's a heavy nylon case, with a clear nylon front covering the display,
speaker and keypad.  Holes in the cover for the speaker and mic make
things nicely audible.  The top is covered with a velcro flap to hold the
radio in place, and there is a hole in the side for the speaker-mic (no
hole for external DC power).

The belt clip is excellent.  For those familiar, it's a Bianchi-style
metal spring clip.  It looks like it will be quite secure on the belt,
but still easily removable.  An ideal match.

Given the V10 in the model number, I'm almost certain that this was
designed for the VX-10 commercial counterpart, but it's a welcome
option.  I saw a friends, and ordered one today.  It's perfect.

I also called Yaesu today and asked about replacement belt clips for the
VX-10 (which are rumored here to be of spring-clip type, rather than the
cheapies supplied with the FT-50).  They're still backordered, they're
expecting them in by the end of the month, cost at around $3 each.

Hope this helps...  Maybe Bee cases (they make cases for everything) will
introduce a line for the VX-10 as well, hopefully with a swivel mount.

Hi,

        When a given signal is at, for example, S9 in UHF when my TS790 is
cold,
the same signal is measured 53-54 when the unit is warm (after some
hours under power
or some transmissions). If this is only a S-meter drift, it's not very
important,
but I'm afraid that it could be a real loss of sensitivity, this has
been told to
me by a "DL" ham who can't do 9600bps sat when the unit is warm (hot
!!!) due to
weak signals. I wonder if somebody else has seen this on his unit...
        For your information, units mase before 1990 must be modified for the
fan-motor
to operate correctly. On mine, one of the wires of the motor was cut
inside. So, since
3 years, my fan-motor has never turned !!!

As the subject header suggests, is anybody using this radio  in SAR work. I
am a SAR volunteer with my  dog and the radios we  use are big and bulky. I
have  been eying the  FT-50R because of it's  size and its (albeit limited)
ability to stand up to the elements.

Any help would be appreciated.

Some 940's have been know to have a chronic "connector" problem.  The cure
has been to open them up,  (carefully) unplug every connector you can get
your hands on, and reconnect.  Some kind of conductive lubricant made for
this purpose probably wouldn't hurt on the larger connectors.  I have cured
one 940 this way.  Of course you may have a different problem but this
would be worth a try before you spend any money on repair.

I own two pieces of Standard gear--the C558a dual band handheld and
the 5718a dual band mobile and I *really* like them.  I wouldn't
trade them for anything.  They're extremely
well built, extremely elegant software design (esp the 558a), and they
produce some of the best quality audio I've ever heard on transmit and
receive (and I'm extremely picky about that sort of stuff too).  I guess
this doesn't directly help you with the decision on the C156, but I know
personally I wouldn't hesitate to buy more Standard gear.

Hope that helps...

HI... I have had a Sony ICF-2010 for about 3 years now and the radio
works great...especially if you hook it up to a dipole or other external
antennas.  The receiver is great...no problems with the radio what so
ever.. The batteries last a long time too... ( use alkalines )

I've had my Sony 2010 for about 8 years and I, too, wouldn't trade it.
Not only does it serve me well as a shortwave wave receiver, but also as
a clock-radio. It wakes me up every morning to music on my favorite local
FM broadcast station! It also happens to be one of the easiest radios to
operate and program.

Try it. You will like it!

Didn't you notice that my email has a Japanese address

I would have to make an international phone call very late at

A very common problem that occurs with the HTX-202 (but gets very little
newsgroup coverage): The wire leading from the PC board to the BNC antenna
connector breaks due to flex stress. When your antenna is wiggling around on
top of the BNC antenna connector, a small, STIFF wire attached to the center
pin wiggles as well. Over time, the stress is too much and the wire breaks.
THE RADIO WILL APPEAR TO BE FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY. Of course, no one can hear
you. Solution: replace the wire.

Be warned that I do not recommend opening an HTX-202, especially to perform
this repair, unless you ABSOLUTELY know what you are doing. If you are unsure,

find someone to help you. The best place to check is at a ham club meeting. A
word of warning: If the only soldering equipment the person about to open your

radio posesses is a propane torch and a 200 Watt gun, don't let him touch it!

Hello!


1. Why it is not recommended to use recahrgeable batteries in FT50:s battery p
ack (FB15)?
   Only dry cells are recommended.

2. May I use full power TX by using 13.8V from cigarret lighter etc

    -so that battery pack is empy or taken away?
    -or to charge original battery pack (FB 40/41)?

3. If I charge with 13.8V, what shall be the time instead of 15h with standard
 charger?

I'm having a problem with a 70 cm radio and was looking
for some help. It's an ICOM 490A 70 cm all-mode. The
A-B VFO switch does not work. I've checked the switch
itself and it is ok. I've also checked the wiring
from the switch on the front control panel to the main
board were the microprocessor is located, this is also
ok. The clock signal 03 from IC4 pin 15 is getting to the
processor line A0 ok when the A-B button is pressed.
It also will not write to any memory channels, so I
thought maybe it was stuck in the B VFO. The manual
says that VFO A must be used to write to any memory
selection. The unit transmits and receives fine in all
modes and will auto scan up or down and manualy tune
using the present VFO. Is there something else I can
check? Is there a way to tell which VFO it's realy on?
If someone has broken unit that does not xmit or rcv
but seems to program ok I may buy it for the micro-
control unit. If you can help send me a note or call
and I will call you back. Mitch-KE4LQF [phone].

I have the following to sell but have been out of the hobby for a while
and am not sure what to ask for them:

Alinco DJ-560 Dual Band HT w/car adapter and extra mic.

Alinco DJ-160 2m HT w/car adapter and extra mic.

MFJ 1274 Turbo TNC (the one with the signal display on the front)
            Has expanded mailbox memory.

Please give me a realistic idea of what I should ask for these items.
Thanks in advance.

  I just performed the 800 MHZ receive mod on my Z1-A.
  It involves adding 2 UN-9110 surface mount components to the
  2F board which is quite a chore to remove.

  $70 may be a good deal for someone else to do it.

  If you do it, the following is necessary:

  1) Z1A Service Manual for $39.00.  It shows how to
     remove the 2F board.
  2) 2 UN-9110 components (the schematic refers to
     a UN-9115 but that is not available from Icom).
  3) The ability to solder the very TINY UN-9110 to
     the board (they are about the size of a pencil point).

  4) You're on your own - don't even think of asking ICOM
     for any help on this or mention of this mod may invoke
     wrath that you will deserve w/o mercy.

  The quality of the 800mhz receive is far better than that
  of my Uniden scanner.

  good luck.

I'm the proud and now ruptured owner of a R808/ GRC-14 Receiver.  Am
interested in finding some data on the thing like a schematic and
perhaps a little history as well.  Think there is a transmitter that
went with it.  Interesting but dated design with built in TTY demod (IF
type).  Any information appreciated and will compensate.

Chris, free advice is worth what you pay for it.  That said, here's my
two cents worth.  I started with the Bencher (nice paddles, but somewhat
mushy feel - they are now on a pillow on the front seat of my truck and I
use them mobile).  Next paddles were the Jones Key available from Palomer
Labs or Instruments or something like that - real solid construction and
much better "road feel" than the Bencher - also easier to adjust.  Next
came the WBL Design paddles (about $95 US and without question the best
I've got - they are made by a high speed operator (50+wpm) who couldn't
find anything which was as responsive as he required - I would strongly
commend these paddles to you - I can give you the tel # etc of the ham
who makes this superb product.

I also have a Ne-Ke paddle which attaches to your leg for mobile use.
Very unusual design, not as fast as some of the others, but very light
weight for portable use.

Also have a Kitano Key which has two horizontal paddles.  Haven't given
it a fair test yet.  It will probably work fine, is light weight for
portable use, but I doubt if it will get a lot of use in my shack.

I like the WBL Design unit sooooooooo much that I'm considering buying
another to use with a qrp station I'm thinking about setting up in my
downtown office.

Hope this is of use.

Standard makes good radio, and is very popular in Asia.  Their prices
are higher in North America, and service is limited to one single
Standard service centre in the North East.  This is why they are not
popular.  I had to send my Standard all the way there to have a back
case replaced.  A lot of my friends originally from Asia still own
Standard, especially their handhelds, and some have bought the newer
C508A.  The C156A I have seen at a local dealer and it feels quite
solid so it is no cheaply made radio.  It can be sold cheaper because
it doesn't include NiCd rechargable battery nor CTCSS decode board,
which are common on most handhelds sold in North America these days.
I just got a Yaesu FT-50R, and it makes me appreciate my Standard C550
(same as C558A in North America) more, because when my FT-50R is
getting "intermod" interference, my Standard is quite immune (or much
less.)  Of course, you pay more for this brand too.

Older standard is quite hard to use, I hope this newer model w/
alphanumeric display will change that aspect.

Good luck.

Motorola makes a RIC box. it's a repeater interface controller. Plugs into
both of the mic jacks. Works fine, although there's no CW id or anything
fancy, just simple repeater controller.

Use a good quality duplexer that is both pass and notch. The notch only
type of duplexer will work in environments where there are no other
transmitters.

another.  When I received my second one, it had problems also...the

I had a similar problem with my FT102 years ago.  It would intermittently lose

more than 20 dB of receiver sensitivity.  In my case it was caused by oxidized

contacts on the Norm/Separate Antenna slide switch on the back of the radio. I

cleaned this switch with contact cleaner and the problem disappeared.

Hello, a question from my friend Markus (DD2KM):

Hi,

I am looking for further information about the Yaesu FT 51 R
transceiver. I am specially interested in features that are not
included in the manual (e.g. tuning, second, third, fourth functions of
the buttons (know what i mean...:-)) etc....)

Please reply by email.

Thanx a lot!!!

Probably the most important, in the long run, is the article by George
Daughters in the May 1996 issue of QST on replacing the 8875 tubes with
a single 4CX800A.  Most MLA-2500 amps are sitting around idle because of
the high cost of 8875 tubes and this article details a very economical
way to resurrect the amplifier.

I have a constant 1Khz wide carrier that 'floats' around 146.76Mhz.
+/- 5-6Khz.  It seems to change frequency with the outside air
temperature and driving conditions. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer XLT
4x4 with 4.0L engine. It causes me problems because the repeater I
mainly hang out on is 146.775Mhz.

Has anyone else found this or had the same problems??

Thanks,

Keith KE╪FV

Lucky us people of Holland (or if you prefer: The Netherlands), since our
powerlimit used to be 100 Watts, so no discussion neccesary.
Nowadays the limit has been raised to 400 Watts PEP.

I intend to replace some of the filters in my NRD535, so if anyone has
the replacement Crystal filters for the 535 at a good price, I may be
interested. I also have a 1.8khz filter for the NRD  that I would like
to exchange for for the 300hz, 500hz or possibly the 1000hz, so if you
have these, but are mainly interested in SSB, please contact by email

Also wanted, the Bandwidth Control Board for the NRD535.
I am in the UK.

I see you bought a FT-50R. I was wondering how the 800 MHz scanning works.
Can you receive any cell phone calls ( I know the band is blocked out but
on scanners, sometimes you can get ghost signals). Also, do you know if it
is possible to eliminate this block?

I'm thinking about buying a FT- 50R. How do like yours?

I second those emotions, Eugene. I also own a C558a, as well as a couple
of C288a 220mHZ HTs. Wouldn't trade 'em for any of the competition's
units.

Hey - I have had EXCELLENT results with Maha's Nickel Metal-Hydride
MH-CNB-153 battery on my C558a. SAME SIZE as the 700ma CNB-153, but it
packs 1200ma! It's about .4 ounce heavier - but it a great performer.
And LESS MONEY than the original CNB-153, too.

 Hi,

 It changes the operating point of the tube, like class A, AB, B, C. In CW you
 typically run class C. It's a point on the characteristic curve of the tube t
hat
 dictates how much plate current flows with a certain level of bias. (grid vol
tage)
 Go with the higher voltage, and tune the plate to keep within the legal limit
.
 Most tubes drive easier with a higher plate voltage. Go to your local library
 or
 maybe some local old timer may have the Eimac 'Care and Feeding of Power
 Grid Tubes'. It does a great job of explaining the whole deal with load lines
,
 impedances, and all. They're not too tough to understand. Only the Gate 2
 Vanity Call operation is beyond comprehension. Cheers!

I sell the Motorola Radius line too, and I have noticed some receiver
blow-by when I drive around town.  I would take Chris's advice
seriously.  But they are fine for mobile use.  May I suggest you
program them for mobile use (the models you have probably go 438-470),
and use them that way.  The going rate for programming these is
$25 per radio.

UHF repeaters are fairly inexpensive because the 5 mHz separation
makes them a lot easier to handle than the 2-meter 0.6 separation.
Duplexers, brand new, from Motorola, for 5-mHz UHF separation are
in the $250 range.  May I suggest you just buy a repeater or a
mobile rig that will make a good repeater?  GE Mastr II, GE MVP, or
Motorola Micors seem to be modifiable to such use, and QST, CQ etc
have ads from an outfit called Versatel Communications who will
sell you the radios and instructions.  See http://www.versatelcom.com
A recent article in 73 or CQ featured one of these conversions.  It
looked doable, but it was not trivial.  The trick was in preserving
the shielding between TX and RX after adding a second antenna
connector, etc.

Maggiore Electronics Lab offers an inexpensive line of Repeaters,
(see ads in ham magazines).  We have one here at the local club, and
it works o.k.  Also, Ritron (a commercial radio manufacturer) has
a small UHF repeater, about 4 inches tall, and 10 x 12 inches or
so, that includes AC power supply, the capability of having a 12 volt
battery in case of AC power failure, and, get this, built in duplexer.
It works very well in my commercial applications.  It does not have
station I.D.....but see below.

Lastly, you can get individual receiver and transmitter strips boxed
in individual die-cast aluminum boxes from a number of sources, like
Maxon, Spectrum, Maggiore etc.  These have, or should have, not
only audio output but the squelch output.  This is a voltage that
swings from zero to some voltage when a signal is present (or not,
both directions are common).  You can get these little boxed strips
for about $150 each (they are also type accepted for commercial use).
Power is low, maybe 2 to 5 watts.  You need power, controller and an
external duplexer.  A COR (carrier operated relay) is a simple thing
to build, but a more complete controller with i.d., phone patch and
such can be had in the Connect Systems, Inc model CS-800 duplex
interconnect.  I believe you can buy it retail at Amateur Electronic
Supply.  It is very, very good and I have set up several repeaters up
with it in commercial service.  It is a "repeater maker" with the
addition of the aforementioned rx or tx strips.

Hope this helps.    Ramon.  AL7X, Nome, Alaska.

A trip to my home page reveals there are many good files and programs for
amateur radio operators that want to use Mac computers.

<http://www.mv.com/ipusers/wd1v/>

* Ham Radio Test Simulators - where you can go from Novice to Extra Class
practicing the actual tests right on your Mac! Check out the info on the
new NO CODE license or scramble your neurons and learn Morse on the Mac
too!

* Macnet Roster - a virtual "Who's Who" HyperCard stack with more than 750
entries giving the names, addresses, phone numbers, of radio operators
all over the world that are using Macs. Check out their projects and
their passions and put a design on your Mac Radio future when you see
what neat things are being done!

* Mac Ham Radio Software Listing - as the name implies, its "The List" of
the latest - much of it with FTP links so what you see is what you can
get with just a click.

* Ham Radio.FAQ - compiled on a Mac with a lot of links to great Mac FTP
sites for radio, electronic engineering, and similar data.

Keep posting these Mike.  This is anything but an advertisement.  Me
thinks we worry to much about the purity of Usenet (it isn't illegal
to advertise anyway).  The short post of your's is a good piece of
info for those of us interested in VHF.  I see nothing at all wrong

Hi Chris-

I have a Bencher, a Vibrokeyer, an MFJ, and several bugs, and of all the
paddles, I like the Vibrokeyer far and away the best.  It has the best
feel, and I can send with fewer errors with it.

I should tell you though, that I don't use a keyer 100% of the time.  I
use a keyer about half the time and a bug the other half.  Matter of
fact, I keep a bug and keyer wired parallel on two rigs, so I can switch
instantly between them.

The Vibrokeyer is very very similar to a Vibroplex bug in feel, and that
may be why I like it so much.

Hey....get yourself a paddle and fire up that keyer!  A long session
with a straight key is WORK! <g>

appreciate any pointers to possible sources for a replacement,
either standard or "creative".

All cars and trucks have on board computers, microprocessors and a whole
bunch of other stuff that emits RF Energy.

If you are not using a outside antenna try that.
You could also try and shielding the suspect assembly with something like
foil?... make sure you shielding is grounded.

you might also check your hood and trunk lid to make sure they have
ground straps.

Good luck!

Keith,
Check with your electric fuel pump.  There may be interference created
by the fuel pump.  There is a bulletin from Ford on this situation and I
am not sure if this will clear your problem up, but there was some kind
of recall and a kit that would help correct similar situation.  It may
be worth looking into.

Drop me a note as a reminder and I will look for the bulletin at work.

Woops, usually these circuits are installed to lower the SWR for the
exciter. Other than that, the primary advantage they provide a path near
the tube for harmonics generated in the cathode circuit.That's the reason
tuned input circuits affect IMD and efficiency. The tuned input needs to
be within 1/32 of a wavelength of the tube at the highest operating
frequency, that's about one foot on ten meters, unless special precautions
are taken, and MUST be a low pass circuit that has a shunt capaciatnce at
the tube end.

Hello,
        I recently borrowed a friend's Clipperton-L and was
struck by the contrast with the one I just bought. In particular
the friend's amp has a board with a set of toroid inductors and
trimmer capacitors mounted over the power supply rectifier area.
This board is wired to the bandswitch and appears to be a set
of switched filters. The toroids are quite small making me wonder
how they could be filtering the amplifier output. Are these in
fact bandpass filters? If my exciter has all spurs down at least
60db should I be concerned with trying to implement this filter
set? Are there other notable updates to the Clipperton-L design?

Curious,
Pete

I have some questions regarding the venerable Drake TR-4C:

1. There's a socket marked "34PNB" on the chassis, and it's shown on the
   schematic marked the same way.  It has a jumpered plug inserted in it.
   Is this for an accessory noise blanker, like the 4-NB in the R-4C?  If
   so, does anyone have a schematic and parts list for this item (so I can
   duplicate it), or perhaps have one of these that they would sell me?
   Is this unit the same as the 4-NB?

2. Is there any good way to add an i-f CW filter to a TR-4C?  Could an R-4C
   CW filter be used, with a relays or PIN diodes to switch the filter in
   and out of the circuit in CW mode?  Has anyone done this?

3. Are there any good performance enhancements for this rig, like building
   up solid-state tube replacements, better mixer diodes, improved S-meter
   action, audio hum reduction, etc?  I haven't started searching the old
   ham magazines yet, but I intend to do so when I get some time.

4. Does someone have a COMPLETE, ORIGINAL manual I can borrow and copy?
   I have a weak copy with several pages missing, and the schematic is on
   two pages and is very weak and hard to read.  I have access to a copier
   which can copy the 11" x 17" schematic in one piece with nice clarity.

5. The TR-4C manual mentions a "VHF modification kit".  I assume this was
   to allow the transceiver to be used with the TV-6 and TV-2 transverters.
   Does anyone have the schematic and parts list for this modification?

6. How critical is it to have a matched triplet of 6JB6 PA tubes?  What
   happens if you don't?

7. The manual says "260 W PEP input on CW".  Does 160 W output seem right
   with the PA loaded to about 425 mA?  Are the PA tubes getting soft?

8. The S-meter is terribly "scotch".  Any way to improve this, or is this
   really a Drake characteristic like I've heard in the past?

9. I assume this rig requires a high-Z ceramic mic, is that correct?

Thanks in advance for any help you folks can provide me.  73!

Here it is:

ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/hamradio/mods/alinco/dx70.mod

Quote:

Ok, first an apology to all who sent msgs about these mods.  Sorry for
the delay in getting these out here.

The Alinco DX-70 can be configured as follows:
Extended TX, open the RX up to 35Mhz and down to 30 Khz, Open the VHF
side from 45-60 Mhz RX/TX.  All can be done quickly by , by removing or
changing a series of chip-resistors located in the detatchable front
face
panel.  This mod is a little tricky to perform, since it uses surface
mount devices, so I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BREAK YOUR RIG.
Alinco, further, in their mod sheet, warns that performing this mod
incorrectly will NOT BE COVERED via warranty.   At first, I tried using
a
Salami sized soldering iron--- take my word, get a good, very fine point
iron of about 15 or 20 watts max!  Make sure it is static guarded too.

Ok...Here we go.

1.  disconnect power
2.  disconnect antenna
3.  remove control head, disconnect control cable
4.  remove 4 screws on back of control head,
5   remove (unsnap is more like it) the control head back panel.
6.  THE MOD:

Once you have the back panel removed, and using the big VFO knob as
your guide (circuit board facing you, LCD display not facing you).  The
VFO knob should be on the left side.  On the right side, in the lower
right hand corner, you should see 2 distinct columns of chip resistors.
On the board, they are NOT labeled, but I will draw the diagram below
to help you.  You cant miss these because there are 5 chip resistors in
the left-hand row, and the right-hand row has 7 chip resistors.  Above
both rows is a solder-pad.


a(::) h(::)
       g-
       i-
 b -   j-
 c -   k-
 d -   l-
 e -   m-
 f -   n-




Several chip resistors will be soldered in, depending on the model
of your rig, and a solder pad is jumpered.   Here are the mods per
Alinco:


a.  45-60 Mhz TX/RX  -  solder a 0ohm or jumper across location i
b   HF RX down to 30 Khz  - remove the jumper m
c.  beyond just Mars Mod - TX/RX everywhere remove both jumpers c and e
d.  HF RX up to 35 MHZ - solder a bridge across pad a

After performing the above mods, reassemble the unit.

7.  DONT FORGET  to reset the microprocessor (with the radio off, hold
    the F button and simultaneously turn the power on.
    All memories are wiped out, but the new bands are opened.

I've tried all mods with my Alinco rig and can confirm they work. I am
able to pick up business band communication in the 46 Mhz range (FM),
and
cordless phones in 46/49 range. It TX's everywhere now too.

I do not take responsibility if you perform this mod incorrectly, and I
am not responsible for your operation practice if you choose to
illegally
transmit out of band.

Thanks and again, sorry for such a delay in getting this out here.

Probably since you would only get 4.8 volts.  I remember reading also
that
the proper nicad packs have current protection etc built in.  I think
they mentioned that in the even that the battery case became short
citcuited
if it was fulled with nicads current would be in the order of 10 amps
& bust something.  If you find it works with 4 nicads- use it.  It wont
do any harm, just dont put the battery case in your pocket with your
keys.

Why not!

I brought my FT50 (s) in the US and live in New Zealand where AC is 220V
so I use either my car battery, or a 13.8V regulated power supply.
When the FT50 reaches full charge, my observation is that the power
consumption drops down to a meer trickle- so I wouldn't be too concerned
about leaving it plugged in for any length of time, In fact, mine is
often
pluged into the 12V and left there.

The mobile duplexers actually will handle 45 watts, which is a common
power level for UHF duplex radios.  More power is rare, and not
reliable in mobile UHF or VHF rigs.

Isolation at 5 mHz is adequate; ie, you will hear anything with the
mobile duplexer than you will with a fancy one, regardless of what
the books and experts say.  Try it.  Turn the trasmitter off on a
weak signal....still there with the TX on.  A "mobile" duplexer
with 4 cavities will perform right along a 4-cavity duplexer of
larger size.

What will not work is close spacing between transmitter and receiver
frequencies with the small lduplexer.  Mobile duplexers on VHF,
with 5 mHz spacing are fine, but with 2-meter 0.6 spacing, it will
desense.  At 440 mHz, 5 mHz is the minimum for separation.  The once
used 1.6 mHz or 2.5 or other odd splits I've seen do not work with
the little ones.

I have a repeater operating here with the RC-1000 controller.  Is it
like the RC-100 ?  The RC-1000 is about $200 or $300 as I recall; and
it draws a lot of current.  In the repeater in question, the
receiver draws 70 ma, the RC-1000 takes 230 ma.  This can really
cripple you with solar power....as I found out!

Hear you on the legal requirement to control the repeater.  This
could be by radio on the repeater input, by radio on a control link,
by telephone line, dedicated or dial up, or manually by a control
operator.  All have their drawbacks, even though all are legal.
The usual drawback is that the repeater trustee, which has the
secret on/off codes is out of reach when the idiot using obscene
language comes on the scene!

Hi - Heil recommends a 0.47 mf (microfarad) capacitor inline on the
audio line (series) to block the 8V or so that is on that line from
the rig.

If the Hayes has "FAX" modes, try them. Like V.29 or something. I've
done
amateur radio links
using v.29 (which is the standard 9600bps mode) and it works fairly
well.
You'll need to use fairly long txd's.... something on the order of 400ms
due to the train sequence it sends, but other then that it works well.
You will need to make sure you audio is not clipping however as V.29
is 16 level QAM. The train sequence is (I think) about 250ms plus
another 150ms for the radio to stabilize. There is a fast train mode
you can use which is only 50ms long.

V.29 is a half duplex data modem standard. Center carrier is
1800hz. Some of the results I had got written up in QEX and
TAPR PSR a number of years back. Also, the Japanese have
done some work with this as well. They (I think) were using
the Rockwell chip set... I was using the Yamaha chip. I little
write-up is on the PRUG homepage (sorry, don't know the URL).
They (the Japanese) have also done some work with V.27 (7200bps)
which is a little more robust in a radio enviroment then V.29.

I've not tried the 14.4 fax modes.

On slowly "fading" channels, you shouldn't have much problem assuming
you re-train
frequently. Actually, its been my experince that a radio channel is
better in most
cases then a telephone channel. Now, I am talking about a properly
engineered link
with clearences in the fresnel zones. This of course is a VHF/UHF link,
not HF or
some "HT" style rubberduck packet station.


Good luck

No, it doesn't.  Speed negotiation is only a very small part of this
process.  The remainder is referred to as "training" and needs to be done.

Training is always required in these multi-phase multi-level modulation
schemes.  Even FAX modes, which are largely unidirectional, use training.
A slow (300 bps) fullduplex negotiation phase is used to coordinate the
training, the remainder of the transfer is unidirectional.


>Agreed. However, I am thinking of using a stable, high quality but unidirecti
onal voice
>(or wider) channel.

To use standard telephone modems you will need a backward channel.
When you design everything from scratch (or: at least the operating firmware)
you might be able to come up with some protocol that does the training
with only a single direction.

No.  Highspeed modems talk to eachother at connection setup, and measure
the line characteristics to compensate for frequency and phase characteristics
.
This is the warbling noise that you hear before CONNECT appears.

So, you can only use a highspeed modem on radio (I suppose that is what
you are after) when the radio path is fullduplex so the modems can hear
eachother all the time.  And even then it probably won't work too well,
because a radio path has distortions (due to multipath, changing propagation
etc) that a telephone modem is not designed to cope with.

Telephone modems faster than 2400 baud go through a training and
negotiation phase at connection startup. This can't be bypassed by
an AT command. However you can use what is called a "short haul"
modem. These are designed to operate over leased lines and expect
a consistent EQ, hence they don't train and negotiate. Immac carries
several brands of these short haul modems. 9600 baud units are common,
and fairly cheap, faster units are available. They expect a 4-wire
interface, thus they should work on a good voice grade radio circuit.
(They can't deal with multipath, however.)

It *is* possible to force a Group 3 FAX modem to work on the radio
channel. There is a test mode for some of these which allows them to
go on-line without training. This can give you 9600 baud data. Some
amateurs in Japan experimented with this for a while. It's not an
AT command, however, you have to actually strap pins on the modem
chip to put it in test mode.

For robust operation on a radio circuit, you really need a radio
modem. And for speeds over 2400 baud, you really need a data radio
and not a voice radio kludge. Not only does this work better, it's
usually cheaper too.

my 2 cents worth on 706 if you use an external preamp and turn off the
internal amp on rec. it improves sig. to noise raito. this really
helps 2 meter the most( use good preamp ones in good brick amps work
ok)

  I have an Icom 2340H, which shares this characteristic with the 2350.  I
don't particularly like it, but I'm not as upset as is Mr. Stewart.

  Interestingly, my Icom IC2SRA HT, which has a 2 meter radio and a scanner
which can dual receive, automatically mutes the scanner receiver when you
transmit.

  I like Icoms and have used them since I got an IC-22 in 1974, but I think
a selectable mute feature on the 2350 would be a good feature.

I have heard that it is smallest 2m/.7m handheld transceiver available, as
well as cheapest. What is the catch?

and was curious as to the value of it.  It has an external VFO and
external power supply.  If anyone knows the value of this radio,
please e-mail me at '[e-mail]'.  I'm not really looking to sell
it, but was more curious to if I have a vintage gold mine sitting in
my shack.  If it's woth money, I may consider selling it.

Desparately need a schematic or manual for this 220 MHz radio.
Your help in locating one would be verrrry appreciated.  Have
a schematic for the 2 meter version, but the RF board is too
different.  Will pay copying/postage.  Thanks.

Dan

Hi everybody,

Sorry to post again but someone replied to this and the reply was already gone
from our newsserver. please send your replie(s) again.. thanks

In our local packetBBS I saw a message from an HB9 station with some info
about a  new Kenwood HF tranceiver, the TS-570. Anybody knows about this TRX?
I couldn't find anything on Kenwood's site yesterday.


Just my 2 cents, Your mileage may vary

This am I recived email from Ryan, K5WDT concerning a message I had sent
out about a dying ht, but when I went to reply to him, it said that
address was not open. The address that he used is  [e-mail]

In any case Ryan, if you see this, yes..my ht is set up to work the
repeaters completely. I used it when I first moved into the new place
and then didn't touch it for two days. When I tried it again two days
later, it wouldn't do anything except pick up the 146.67 machine over
here. I have no idea what the problem is with it since it did work
before and now doesn't. Like I said, I really can't afford to send it in
to get it fixed and don't really know enough to try on my own, but I am
willing to try. Any ideas as to what may be the problem adn how to fix
it will be appreciated a lot.

Hi Jim--

This may be a patisan reply because I do a lot of work for MFJ, but the
general scope of my comment would apply--even if you had purchased the AEA
version of the loop.  I feel very confident that the loop will provide far
better reuslts than you would obtain by almost any other means--short of
putting up a full-sized dipole at 1/2-wave or more in height. The loop is
extremely efficient for an antenna of its size.  The price you pay for
this efficiency is measured mostly in loss of bandwidth.  But, since the
loop is remotely tunable, about all you really lose is the ability to QSY
instantaneously.  Good luck with it--and with your treatment.  If I were
in the same situation, I would do exactly what you are doing.

I have a Motorola Radius in my car at work..and I am curious as to how
to use some oft more advanced features (such as priority scan). I have 3
buttons (Scan, Select, and Monitor). I know how to setup the scan for
normal scan (hold down scan, and then select the channels I want...then
hit scan). But, how do I setup a channel as 'priority' for scan..this
radio has a priority light, so I believe it has priority ability.

When I hit the Select button while its not scanning..i get SC, CH, etc
options...what are these?

If basically someone could walk me through how to setup 'priority scan'
and what these sc, ch, etc options are..let me know..

Email me at [e-mail]

Thanks!

Hello,
  We have a GE Portamobile Radio on 49Mhz.  Is anyone familar with
this radio?  All we have is the radio on 49.180 Mhz and the AC
powersupply that clips on to the bottom.  The radio does transmit 10
watts but we do not have a receive xtal.  The model # is HN44LA833
TX data ET61A and RX data is ER43A.  Any info would be appreciated.
Will the radio tune up on 6M?  Does anyone have realigning
instructions?  Copies of the service manual?

Thanks

Hi Gary,

The reason for the high/low voltage was in the early days a PA could only
run 1kW dc plate INPUT on key down carrier CW (about 500-700 watts out
with normal PA's) , and 1 kW maximum indicated dc plate power input at
modulation crests on SSB (at least 2 kW PEP plate INPUT power on SSB, and
about 1200 watts or so PEP output).

If the high voltage was increased the correct amount for SSB the following
would happen:

1.) The user could tune the PA on CW, and flip the switch to SSB without
breaking the law by tuning at much higher power on carrier.

2.) The highest crest the PA meters would reach on SSB would be 1 kW on
SSB and  CW, both legal.

3.) The tube output impedance (and hence the tank control settings) would
remain the same because the ratio of RF anode voltage to RMS anode current
would remain the same.

This feature was slowly phased out of most amplifiers when the FCC changed
the power rules.

By the way, this is why so many people "blow up" SB-220's. The SB-220 was
designed to operate at 500-600 watts CW output, while dissipating about
400-500 watts in the tubes. The same with the L4B Drake.

It is also why most of the tuners sold today have exaggerated power
ratings. They were rated to match the power amplifiers years ago, when a 2
kW PA would really only run 500 or 600 watts output. Most 2 kW antenna
tuners really only handle 500-600 watts of CW carrier.

I bought a second hand radio Satellite 3400 Professional. It is a big radio
with lots of control buttons. unfortunately, i couldn't get the operation
manuals. It looks great but i am not using it to its full capacity.Does
anyone know how to operate it or where to get information about the
operation manuals.

Best regards.

Dana, I may be wrong here, but I believe that varying amplitude -does- in
fact cause additional timing jitter (read: phase noise).  The limiter is
a linear device.

If the edge rates going in are very high, then the added jitter will be
minimal.  However, those high edge rates cause their own problems....
Have fun with it!

Have heard that it is possible to get(non icom) super filters(ssb and
cw) for icom 706 and other radios that really outperforms their original
filters.
Does anyone have any information about these filters ?
Does anyone knows where to get these filters ? (if they exist)

My first receiver was a war surplus BC-454 Command Set which I used as a
tuneable IF for a homebrew crystal-controlled converter on six meters.  My
first transmitter was homebrewed on the chassis of an old TV set I had
stripped the parts out of and re-used.  It was truly ugly, but it worked.  I
made a number of contacts with it and then figured out how to improve the
design.  My second one was homebrewed into a "real" cabinet and looked and
worked pretty well.  I used it for several years and had probably more fun
with it than with the multi-$$$ rigs that came later.  Those were the days...

It seems to me like a strong crossmodulation from some (new?) nearby
strong station, since it┤s cured with the tuner it couldn┤t be the rig,
at least that is what I belive. Try to rotate the beam a se what
happends .
How does the AIP affect the AM ?? Are the staions fully readable in AM
mode ??

Well some small ideas....

    The latest update on the 850 Saga.
    I have used my friends 850 against my one.
    So using an 80/160 crossed inverted Vee straight into both 850's.
    My one on most bands that were tried AM stations received.
    On the other 850 clear no QRM.
    So my test with another 850 proves that it is not the system
    that is inducing the AM signals
    Could it be one of the LPF's?
    I don't think it is a Band pass one as it seems to be on most
    bands as these are different for each band.
    Any ideas??

Sounds as though there is is a bad pin diode in the RX/TX low pass
filter switching most likey Medium Frequency diode.

Well, I see a lot of riduculous prices for Collins gear on
the r.r.swap and most of the time there is no price at all.

I got a pristine package like the above, same models, except no SM-1
for $650.00

I think that is reasonable.  I have only a small scratch in one
place on the front chassis edge ring on the 75S-1.  Otherwise
immaculate.

Couple weeks ago, the same package (no SM-1) was going for about
$1200.00 which in my opinion is far too much to pay.

That dent is going to work against you though.

Good luck.

Radio Shack now sells the 4mm plug. It is a new item for October release
but most bigger stores should have them by now.

Did you have a table at the Hosstraders/Rochester, NH flea market this past
weekend (Oct. 4 and 5)?

I'm looking for someone who was there selling a Ms. Pac Man PCB and the Midway
schematics manual. He was also selling milage counters for bikes and walkers.

I know this isn't really amateur radio related, but since it WAS a ham-radio
flea market, this might be the place I can find that person.

If, by chance, you are that person, or know who that person was, PLEASE
respond via e-mail to [e-mail]. It's important. Thanks a lot!

Bob:

Wow, my very first transmitter...It was a little kit crystal controlled
transmitter that was rated for (if I recall) 15 watts input.  Two tubes:
rectifier for the power supply and keyed oscillator.  It may appear to be
missing a tube because it used a tube socket (octal socket?) for the
crystal.  I made _hundreds_ of contacts with that thing...my father and I
built that in 1970, I'm pretty certain.

I think the coil could be wound for either 40 or 80 meters, I don't think
it would work on higher bands but I may be wrong.

Best of luck with it!  It takes the old style crystal cases, I may even
have a few around if they're of use to you.

        73,

        David

Dear all,

I have a yupiteru 7000 scanner and have been well pleased with its
performance across the range. However, I have had this set nearly 5
years now And I am thinking of upgrading to the 7100 model. Apart from
the obvious addition of SSB resolution capabilities is there anyone who
has had experience with both sets or just the 7100 version ???? Any
comments on it would be greatly appreciated before I make the plunge !
IF anyone has any other suggestions for other similar sets in addition
to the Yupiteru range then also I am listening.

Thanks for your time.

It's not a complete controller, but we have used Communications Specialist's
ID-8 CW ID'er as most of one.  It needs a timeout timer and remote control
added, but it does the CW ID, 10 minute timer, and holdoff until carrier is
dropped.  Alternatevely, a real simple controller could be built using
any microcontroller (PIC, 8051, 68HC11) or even a bunch of 555s and 74LS
family (or HC) bits.

The years of electromagnetic harassment have left

I have recently purchased an Icom X2A
Unfortunalty, it is the "A" version, and is configured for the
USA standards.  Changing the RF to 430 instead of 440 (rx from DC to
IR) was already done, but  I still miss the 1750Hz tone to open
trepeaters over here...
The Icom X2E has this function at [PTT]+[400] but It's not on the X2A
Probably the two radios is the same one, with just some minor
modifications.  Anybody know how to do this? it is probably  the same
as the W2A (the X2A has 23cm instead of 2m) It would probably be
either a keycombination or moving some resistors/diodes around

Somebody correct me on this; I should have refreshed
my memory on the recent thread but didn't read it:

6146  the original; in push-pull service must have matched pair
6146A stats improved; still must be matched
6146B stats improved and tolerances tightened; no match required
6146W military version of 6146B.  Identical to 6146B.

If I'm remembering this right, you'd do well to pick these up.
Maybe you could check Deja News; I know it's been discussed.

Hey Mike, BTW how about that 830S?  I love mine, but just
wish it had general coverage receiver and AM/FM modes.  The
variable speech processor and variable noise blanker are great,
and the combination of filters, IF shift, and passband width
adjustment make HF easy and nice.

For a slight power output improvement, substitute a 12GN7 for
the stock 12BY7A.  Drop in replacement.

The 6146W is a military version of the 6146A or 6146, therefore it is not
a suitable substitute for a 6146B, in the case where a 6146B is
necessary and a 6146A is not sufficient.

6146w's have 25w of plate dissipation while 6146b's have 35w so they are
not identical.  The TS830 ran at higher plate voltages for more output
than older 6146 rigs like the Hallicrafters HT32's or 37's.  I wouldn't
use them in the Kenwood rigs. JON N3AJB

Hello Amateur Radio Freaks

Do anyone know if it is possible to run 9600 baud packet
radio by using the Yeasu FT5100 radio? If "yes" - what
modifications do I have to do? All hints are pleased ;-))


Yours faithfully

Hello Everybody,


Just to let you know, I recently spoke to Daryl Kemper of Network
Sciences in Phoenix, Arizona this week.  As was mentioned months back,
the company is planning to manufacture a variety of filters for all
those great older rigs like the Drakes, Collins, etc.  Any filter band
width can be made based on customer request.  As was told to me they
need about 250 potential customers to have a profitable run.  Bare
minimum is 100.  They have only 40 customers right now.  If your
interested in obtaining that hard to find or non-existent filter please
fax or write to these guys what your needs are ie. model, make, filter
band-width, etc.  Only those people on the list will get a filter.
Anything left over is up for grabs.

Each filter will also come with a full plot of its personal specs.  I
myself am going for the 3 Khz filter for the Drake R7A once offered by
Sherwood and Gilfer and manufactured by Network Science!  Just remember,
technology has come a long way since these filters were offered years
ago.  His new designs are far superior to the older ones.

Daryl has asked me to have anyone interested to please write or fax to:


Network Sciences
3382 West Osborn Rd.
Phoenix AZ 85017

Fax- 602-278-7033

Please feel free to repost this message any where.


Sincerely,

John Berenyi Jr.

Prices are about the same so price will not be my decision to buy.

I forgot Ham Radio Outlet as one of my selections of a mail order
company, as one responder to my question said "sorry".  Anyway here's
is what I have so far for the Alinco 582:

AES--319.00 plus shipping 9.00--Total--$328.00
Tucker--329.00 plus shipping 8.00--total $336.00
Ham Radio Outlet $319.00 --NO shipping---Total $319.00

So it looks like HAM Radio Outlet for me, so far, for a few reasons
that many of you responded to my question earlier. Very friendly on
the phone, said goodbye to me, when the others did not say this, they
just hung up when I said thanks for the price info, but I'm not ready
to buy yet, they have 12 stores around, this must mean they are doing
well, because if they were not a good company, they would of been out
of business long ago.

Anyway If anybody has any comments on Ham Radio Outlet
good and bad, PLEASE let me know before I order.

THANKS  and "73"      Stan

of wisdom:

->I forgot Ham Radio Outlet as one of my selections of a mail order
->company

I've come to really appreciate a company called Ross Distributing up in
Idaho.  Their prices are competitive, they are really quite helpful, and a
plus in my mind is that they won't sell to you without confirming that you
do have a license and that they are shipping to the callbook address.  Nice
folks.  See any ham magazine for the phone # (I've been trying for MONTHS
to get them to have a website).

But I'll bet you go to your local store to look first, and ask questions,
don't you?  You'll be the first one to gripe when your local store
closes for lack of support.

I have to agree with Gary.  Generally, I'll patronize local merchants
before going mail-order.  I can't tell you how nice it is to be able
to hold, look at, and use a radio before making that purchase.  Plus
you're putting money into your local economy, rather than sending it
out of state.  Gary, Ron, and all the other people at HRO in Phoenix
have put up with my endless questions, let me pull merchandise out of
boxes, read manuals, and offered good advice.  Those things are worth
the paltry extra amount that you might save going mail-order.
Especially when you are making a major purchase that you may own for
several years.  And in many cases HRO's prices are actually lower even
when you have to pay sales tax when compared to mail order.  I called
about a dozen places when I was considering purchasing an  FT-51R.
The local HRO actually had one of the lowest prices even with sales
tax.  I didn't have to pay shipping and handling.  I had the radio the
same day.  And I didn't have to worry about some nameless, faceless
person 1800 miles away shipping me a DOA radio (that they knew was
DOA) that I'd have to return at my expense to the factory and wait 4
weeks for a new one.  (Stuff like that has happened to me when using
mail-order).


You might also want to check your local tax laws.  Many states require
that you pay a use tax on items purchased mail-order from
out-of-state.  The company I work for was audited a few years back and
we got nailed for not paying use tax on some mail-ordered office
supplies!

Is HRO going to keep this store open. It would sure be a shame if this
area lost yet another Ham store. Sure miss the days when Electronic Center
was in business. Tucker was as close as it gets to the "good ol' days"
type of Ham store.

Here I go again, First I want to thank all of those who responded to
my questions on who to buy from via mail-order, Thanks!!

Now I've narrowed it down to two HT units, the Alinco 582th, or the
Icom IC-W32A, "This replaced the W31A unit, only a few weeks ago.
Does anybody have any comments on these units???
I know I'm being picky but I want to but only once, and I really need
some input from you.  If you can remember your first radio, and how
you chose it, I guess that's the way I am now.
Thanks  "73"      :)

Well Stan, like everything else in life, these two rigs have their pros and
cons.  I'll start with the Alinco 582:

Pros:  .. reasonable price  ($309.95 at Radio Center)
          .. LOUD audio, best of all HT's!
          ..  easy to operate and program, you hardly need the manual
          .. the supplied wall-wart charger fits 7.2v and 12v batteries
          .. good sensitivity within ham bands, also good on extended VHF.


Cons:   .. display is a bit hard to read, especially symbols for offset and
                    tones.  Sometimes must tilt rig at an angle to get good

                view.  The backlit keypad isn't all that great either.
            .. poor sensitivity in airband and on UHF above 450 MHz.

And now for the Icom W32A, which BTW, I've only owned for a few weeks and am
still learning about it.

Pros:    ....great receiver, sensitivity is great in airband, extended VHF,
                      extended UHF,  everywhere.
            .... a fantastic automatic squelch feature.  Just set it and forge
t
                    it.
            ....  best display I've ever seen on an HT, backlighting is great.
            ....  operating buttons are labelled well and spaced far enough

                     apart.
            ....  audio quality is decent, though not as loud as the 582.
           .....  lots of techie features like battery votls display, and you
                     can enter alphanumeric names for each memory channel.
                     U/V, U/U, V/V, and V/U display configurations.

Cons:   ....  the biggest rub, the only way to charge the battery is to plug
                      the supplied wall-wart into the radio with the battery
                      connected.  So even if you have a spare battery, you

                      can't use the radio and charge a battery simultaneously.
                     Of course Icom's fix for that is their $90 drop-in rapid
                    charger.

Despite my gripe about battery charging, I prefer the W32 over the 582.
Remember the W32 is a bit pricey, I paid $399.95, but that includes the 9.6v
battery for 5 watt output.  The W32 is basically a W31 with some operational
improvements.   Hope this info helps,

Hi all,

looking for anyone who has installed a tone board into a PCS-3000.
I ordered a tone board from Communications Specialists and never
got any inst. with it and they cant help saying they have instructions
for pcs-2000 and 4000 but not forthe  3000 model.
does anyone out there know where to connect in the tone input from the
tone board?

Please E-mail iff you have an answer to

I'm looking for info on a 4:1 balun for matching a ladder line fed dipole
to a coax output ant tuner.
I have a wide variety of ferrite and iron powder toroids with various
permiabilities.  I'm wondering if
anyone knows why the Radioworks baluns are touted as "current" baluns?

There are numerous balun designs in ARRL and other publications.
If you know the characteristics of the cores you have, it
should be pretty easy to determine if they're similar to the
ones shown in the articles.

>I'm wondering if anyone knows why the Radioworks baluns are

Current baluns force equal currents into the antenna.  Because
the currents inside coaxial cable are always equal and opposite,
the presence of equal currents also at the antenna means current
is not flowing back down the outside of the feedline (from the
leg of the dipole that is connected to the shield).

On the other hand, voltage baluns do not guarantee equal
currents at the antenna.  As a result, their popularity and use
for this purpose is rapidly declining.

BC860 XLT very good condition with box and manual    95.00 shipped to 48
PRO 43 good condition with box and manual   195.00 shipped to 48

OR Will sell both for 255.00!

Will ship via ups    Will NOT ship COD it takes to lone to get the money,

Hi Folks:

This question of which rig is "BEST" points to a real opportunity.

The truth is that no one really knows! We have opinions that are based on
impressions - but what about the specifications that we don't know and
even if we did, couldn't VERIFY on our own bench?

The ham market lacks a universally understood "RADIO SCORECARD" that are
the measured specifications of how well a radio performs. Lacking the
scorecard, we lack the knowlege to make good judgements. We go down the
rat holes of..."I heard it has a..." or "its such a cool looking thing..."
or whatever. The point is, each of us as consumers need better data and
better testing of the expensive products whose performance is deemed
very important to us. And until we get the data, all we have are
subjective opinions.

How much variation is there between radios of the same model? What
specific parameters are detectable by ear? How much can some parameters
influence other parameters? Metrically, how much better is the best
measured than the second best and can humans hear the difference?

There should be a team that creates the "RADIO SCORECARD" (version 1.00)

and then....

A test station that can test radios and create verified "RADIO SCORECARD"
metrics. Much later, maybe radios could contain self-tests that make
sense to all of us.

This group could create the design of what that scorecard should contain.
It would be neat to watch it develop and then see it shared with the
manufacturers.

Will radio manufacturers support the performance truth being discovered
about their products?

Until we do this, we live in fog, mirrors, QST reviews, and blind faith
that the performance we are experiencing is what we hoped and paid for.

If there are 500,000 hams, half of which are active, and half of those
in the HF market in the US, we have about 20 - 30,000 people bellying
up to the bar of trust each year. We deserve better data about what we
are buying!

Many thanks for that bit of info Tom.  I've been thinking about
adding an outboard bandwsitched input network to my own amplifier.
I wasn't sure how close it would need to be, or if it would even
work properly considering the cable in-between.

I am getting started in amateur radio and I seem to recall seeing a book
that evaluated and rated older equipment.  Maybe it was a collection of
stuff from QST?  Anyway, I would like to use it as a guide in purchasing a
used HF radio with which to begin.  For example, I'd like to know the
difference between a Kenwood 520 and a 530.  Anybody know where I can find
this publication?  Thanks.  KD6BMK

Hi Ron,

I don't have a FT-8500 (yet) but am considering getting one. The guy in
the store didn't know how to activate the cross-band repeater (not a
surprise) and this is an important feature for me. I want to use something
like a FT-8500 as a cross band repeater so I can get into CalNet South
with my HT on low power.

How is CalNet North doing? How is the 900 MHz stuff coming?

Do you have a manual? It's in there. You turn it off, hold a button down
while you turn it on, change it to cross band, turn it off then back on
again. You'll have to look in the manual to find the button to hold down -
I  don't remember - it might be "RPT". Anyhow why don't you use the manual.

Hi to everyone!

After pushing 'set' + 'band' my rig still doesn't want to go into
crossrepeat mode. I have allready did a complete CPU reset. But no go.
Is there a hardware mod I have to do ? Could anybody supply me with
one? I can't find anything at 'http://www.qrz.com'

Good Luck!!

When you wholesale any item with no factory backup, you've entered the
flea market realm. I've been a firm supporter of Alinco equipment, but
facts are facts!!

I'd be interested in discussing an appropriate distress sale deal for the
inventory.

  Ah.... Sergeant Kinchloe was the radio guy.  Carter was the bomb guy. :-)

  Good luck.  I enjoy building things when I have time, but unfortunately
it's RARE that I have much time for building nowadays.
  Sixty dollars is a shade low for a budget (a good receiver is the trick),
but it's not impossible.

I have the original, the R-4, Bob.  As I recall, the major improvement in
the R-4A was a solid-state VFO.  After that, I believe more and more stages
went to transistors, through the "C" model.

You may want to post this question on the *new*
rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors newsgroup; the "4" lines qualifies as such.

I can help a little, I own several Drakes. The socket is for a noise
blanker and it is not the same as the R4C, no its not possible to build
one there are no parts available. If you want CW I suggest you pick up a
TR4CW, it has the 500 hz filter installed. You could probably mod yours
but you would trash the radio and ruin its resale value. The TR4's use a 9
mhz IF and are not compatable with the R4B/C's.
Your rf output is okay considering the cost of 6JB6's. New finals will
load over 500 ma and give 200 watts out. I suggest you run yours as long
as possible, get more for backup, and put a muffin fan on top of the rf
cage.  There are no useful mods for the TR4 that I am aware of and I have
a lot for the C-line. The s meter is scotch but probably more realistic
than most. RL Drake in Franklin, Ohio can provide you with a TR4CW/RIT
manual for $15.....73 de Gary W8PU.   W8PU@N8JSF packet

I have an FT-8500.  No other experience with mobiles.  Intermod
resistance is good (not perfect).  The gonzo potato-head microphone is
very useful, but there is a bit of a learning curve price to pay and it
can be tricky to use at times.  It's not for everyone, but generally I'm
pleased with it and find it an advantage (I do think the joystick is
somewhat of a gimmick, though, and I think I would prefer two rotary
dials at right angles with a push button).

The FT-8000 is more traditional with some added features and some that
were dropped from the 8500.  I've never used one.

Have fun...

No, kidding? It seems to me that most things you already own and didn't need
two of would be overpriced!  (this logic does not apply if you are the
United States government)  Now, if you did not own one, it would be a
different story...

Check the prices in all the Catalogs for a Government version R-7000.
Then see if you can become a government (so you can buy a non-blocked
version) then get back to me. Was it overpriced as new? YES. Is it
overpriced on the market? NO! I have one also, and I wouldn't dream of
spending $900 for a second one, but if I didn't have one, and wanted one,
I wouldn't spend 1300 for a blocked version.

Kenwood TS-830S 160-10m HF Transceiver,
later series with gold nameplate,
s/n 4090058. This radio is very clean,
only a few very light paint scratches

from being "mint"...the front panel,
knobs, digital display, meter, etc, are
all flawless. I do not have the optional
CW filter in it, it has of course a
built-in AC power Supply, all WARC bands,
100+ watts output, etc...i have the manual,
but not the original box..  ***  $ 425. ****
I'll go 50/50 on the shipping to 48 states.
I'm willing to give you an on-the-air demo
too, on 160-40m.. or 10m if your local...

I have found a source for those DC power cord plugs. The ones I've got
have 6 pins, male plastic with metal female (barbed) inserts.

The plug fits most 12VDC HF radios:
Icom 720, 735, 706.. and alike, newer Yaesu models and Alinco DX70.
Kenwood-TS120, 130, 140..430, 440, 450..850,..TS50,60, 660, 670...and
alike.

Make your own power cord yourself, YOUR WAY!
Crimp or solder, long or short, heavy gauge wire, purple with
polka-dots...

I'm offering the 6 position plug with 6 inserts for $4 each,
or a deal 3 for $10.  All prices include postage in the US.

To order, kindly send a check to:

R. Langston
286 Hudson Street
Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y.  12520

You can also email me for info at: [e-mail]

It's a great deal if you use one rig at home, in the car and at work
and
are stuck dragging one power cord all over....

I still can't believe AES, HRO and others get $30 for a power cord.

Same old non-paid newsgroup ad (even though the FAQ list says this isn't
the newsgroup to sell or buy on) every week, selling a $ 0.50 plug for
$4.00 while complaining about other people selling a complete power cord
for less than two times what it costs them.

You can also find these plugs in your Mouser catalog, on the AMP connector
pages. They are about $0.50 each there, not quite $4.00. Call Mouser at
1-800-346-6873.

I went through all this with the connectors and over priced cords.  You
CAN buy the connectors direct, I don't recall the price but I bought
a whole bunch of them for $10 or something a while back......
ICOM sells them, call the 800 number to order the plug and the
pins quite cheaply and direct.

1) Check the geometry of the plugs there, ...Do they fit any HF
Rigs..I don't think so...You probably fit square plugs.. in round
holes when you were in 5th grade, Too.
2)About $0.50 each there includes ...about...$3.00 UPS
shipping...you've got me there. Not quite $4.00.

I'll tell ya, I find a source for those blasted plugs that I'm being
thanked so much for at hamfests and ...everyone's an expert.
Why didn't you think of it Tom.

PS: how much does it cost you each month on aol...touchee'

and have a nice day.  73, Bob [e-mail]

I have one of these but do not have the info you're
looking for with me so I can't be specific.
After power up you enter a six digit code and the
xmit/recv range is extended.
If you don't have the code, e-mail me and I'll hunt
it down for you.

Okay folks...I've asked this question before, but didn't really get
any specific answers.  Here goes one more time...

I have a Yaesu FT-50 that I using primarily as a scanner (works great
for that purpose).  I have approx. 70 channels I scan.  I want and
need to have the radio scan and also monitor (like a priority) the
first memory channel for activity.  Many of you have suggested that
the dual watch feature will accomplish this, but I can't seem to get
it figured out.

If anyone has specific knowledge as to whether this is possible and
how to accomplish it, I would be grateful.  For the record, my radio
has all mods and I do have the software.

Please "cc" your answer to my e-mail as USENET newsgroups aren't very
reliable and I don't want to miss your answer.

Thanks in advance,
DOUG

Hi,
I am interested in hearing from users of the FT-50R their opinions
about how good/bad the FT-50R is as a SCANNER.  Does the radio have
good sensitivity outside the ham bands?  What about intermod, audio,
etc.  Other comments.
Thanks,

I am trying to locate component values for the components on my "V&V
Local unit" (at least that is what my Technical supplement calls it).

I can't determine the values of the parts on this board!!  I see the
names but can't match them up to any parts list anywhere.

The parts are:

C 4003
C 4004
C 4016
C 4002
C 4005
C 4012
C 4014

L 4002
L 4003

Q 4001
Q 4003

R 4006
R 4001
R 4002
R 4005
R 4009
R 4004

If anyone knows what the values (and or industy, not Yaesu, part
numbers) are for these items I would greatly appreciate it if you
could forward them to me.  It seems I must be missing a page of my
Technical Supplement.

Thanks a bundle,

The answer to this question is that the batteries for the newer radios like
the 51 and the 50 are completely different.  The fast charger is also differen
t,
and you buy adapters for the newer different battery packs.

I think they break even on the rigs and make the big bucks on the batteries, c
hargers,
speaker mics etc.....  Yeasu even has different AC adapters for each different
 battery
pack voltage so if you do go the cheap slow route, you'll need multiple wall w
arts also!

Now that the dollar is work 112.25 yen (last check), I wonder if the prices wi
ll go down
on the Japanese radios.  Remember how they blamed the last price increases on
the exchange
rate when it got into the low 80s, upper 70s?  Now the dollar is worth 25% mor
e yen than
back then.

Hi Folks,

If anyone has a FT1000mp and a six metre rig can they see if they are
picking up a very strong carrier (9+) around 50.158 from the FT1000mp. I
have a week old FT1000mp and trying to use it with a 6m transverter is
giving me big problems with a 9+ carrier and 10-20khz noise either side.
I can hear the carrier on another 6m RX close by without an antenna
plugged in in 6m rig and with the transverter totally disconnected. It
makes no diifference what band the FT1000mp is tuned to, the carrier is
still there. Tapping the FT1000mp causes ringing on the carrier picked
up on the 6m rig.

Many thanks

Duncan

Just a quick follow up.

This morning Monday the dealer suggests that the it is possibly from the
switch mode power supply (my version is the AC model). they are
investigating further and will get back to me later today.

Hi Folks,

The answer to the above is that the processor runs at around 25Mhz. I am
seeing a very strong harmonic and I could just be very unlucky that my
FT1000mp is a bad one. The frequency varies rig to rig but is around
24.9-25.1. If you are unlucky it could wipe out 12m. My fundamental on
approx 25.07 (drifts high) is about S9 on the FT1000 receiver itself
with major noise plus/minus 20-30khz.

Hi Mike,

It's a real pain isn't it! I've just sent mine back today to see if they
can sort anything. Yaesu's official line appears to be that there are no
birdies on any band it was designed for. If that is the case why put in
the provision for setting the display to 50Mhz when transverting? It
isn't very satisfactory. Here it ciovers up the Eu DX portion of the
band. It's even more annoying 'cos I spent most evenings last week
putting a 6m transverter kit together specifically to use with the
FT1000mp intending to sell my TS670 which I currently use. Only when
testing the transverter did I actually have TS670 on at the same time as
the FT1000mp. I'l let you know what happens but I suggest any
prospective buyer of an FT1000mp who uses 6m checks it alongside a 6m
rig first.

My UK agent is complaining strongly to Yaesu and they suggest that you
do likewise especially as the manual shows how to connect a transverter
etc. The agent has found that the microphone connector has a lot of
links direct to the cpu and the mic lead/mic radiates most of the hash
(presumabley because of the up/down buttons) although a lot still comes
through the front panel. I use a Heil boom microphone but it could be
much worse if I used the supplied Yaesu microphone.

I'm surprised the magazine reviewers didn't pick this up. I would have
probably avoided the FT1000mp if I had known. If it had been picked up
in a review I'm sure something would have been done by Yaesu.

Unless Yaesu are made aware by complaints they may not act fast. So kick
up a big fuss and demand action direct to Yaesu US. maybe we will get a
fix.

Best regards

Duncan

I picked up a couple of alarm system pullouts this weekend at a

Hey, fair is fair, make her give up all her hobbies too, and see what she says

I love that CQ t-shirt that says "My wife said if I didn't get off of the radi
o, she'd
leave me ... over"

I'm fortunate enough to have a wife and daughters that are all involved in the
 hobby.
We make it a great family activity, volunteering together, being involved with
 clubs,
schools, etc.

Just my $0.01 (after taxes.)

Thanks to all who offered advice on my question.

In summary,

1. The designer of the Hayes Smartmodem 300/1200 modems and of the
original AT command set confirmed that it was his intention to support a
unidirectional test mode but is unaware that it was supported in
subsequent Hayes modems or in thos eof other manufacture.

2. I have learned that high speed telephone modems go through an
essential  'training' phase which, of necessity, requires a
bi-directional path for negotiation.

3. Fax modems have been used for unidirectional data transfer at speeds
of up to 9600 bps (V.29, V.27), in particular in Japan. A reference to
the Japanese Packet Radio Users Group (PRUG) failed to turn up any
further info.

4. Suggestions:
        - use a short-haul 4-wire modem
        - develop hardware/firmware specifically for application

Thanks to Rob Janssen, Jeff King, Gary Coffman, Dale Heatherington for
the informative news posts and/or e-mails.

Regards,

I need help.  I need to build a battery charger for a radio I bought
at a hamfest a few weeks ago.  It has a 7.6v nicad battery with two
negative contacts one positive contact and one other contact.  I
recently built a 5v regulated power supply and was wondering if I
could use that as a charger and if I can, which contacts do I connect
to?

Thanks,
-Chuck

I heard that the shure 585sa and the electro voice 634a are good sounding
microphones. I heard they have a bassy sound? have any of you guys heard
thise microphones, So i can get comments on them , and their current
price. Right now I run a mc-90 on a kenwood 450. A comparison between
those microphones and the mc-90 would be helpfull. By the way my voice
is not deep at all, and I am thinking on something that will compensate
for that.Thanks in advance.

I have a Yaesu FT-708 R, which I brought home to the USA from Germany.
Unfortunately, on the front panel, the labeling for the three switches
below the keypad has fallen off, and I wonder, what these switches might
be good for.

I also would need to come by to an operations manual for this rig.

Thank you for any response in this respect

These rigs were very popular with CBers.  If you're contemplating buying
one, make sure it hasn't been butchered by some "screwdriver expert" in
some CB shop. -- I'm not saying all CB shop technicians are jerks, but
there are many of them who are --.  I'd try to find one that's spent its
entire life with a ham, on the ham bands.

In the same price range, I'd look for a Kenwood TS-520 or 520S.  These
rigs didn't work a-m, so they were far less popular with the CBers, and
the likelihood of getting a butchered radio is far less.

Other rigs you might consider are the Ten-Tec 540/544 series, Drake TR-4
series, Heath SB-102, HW-104, and SB-104.  All of these rigs fall into
the "under $300" category (or can be found readily in that range).  The
Ten-Tec rigs and the Heath 104's  require 13.8 VDC supplies.

What I think is really ironic is, according to an article published in
Bloomburg's Business Briefs, Bell Atlantic is down pushing the Mexican
government into permitting little leo activity in the ham bands on Mexican
soil.  Just think, one of our good American companies down trying to pave
the way for the rest of the contient.

What is really interesting is I faxed a copy of the article to ARRL hq and
not heard a word about any of it anywhere else.

If anyone is interested, I will publish the source of the data and you guys
can go look it up for yourselves.

I'll tell ya where to look, but I don' know about copyrights and stuff like
that.

I don't think it would be possible for the LEO's to take over the 2 meter
band in this country.  There must be tens of thousands of HTs out there.
I suspect these units would be sold to unlicensed users or just used
ilegally and the 2 meter bands would sound like CB radio.  How would the
LEO's work with all that QRM?  Are the LEO companies going to buy back
all the HTs out there?

I don't think so...

Kevin,

If your "source material" has been published in a publication that is openly
sold or distributed, you may site that referece free from any recrimination
whatsoever.

Only if your source of information is from the "inside" would you be at risk.

I never saw an answer to the subject question.

Don't know the exact answer, since an auction would be involved, but it
would be safe to say that exclusive licenses for the 4 MHz of the
current 2m ham band (on a nation-wide basis) would likely be worth at
least several BILLIONS of dollars ...

The 70cm band with its wider bandwidth would likely be worth SEVERAL
TENS of BILLIONS of dollars ...

Butch et al,

That's EXACTLY why I've been pushing for full no-code (including HF) ham
licensing and for changes in the rules that will allow us to adopt more
modern technology.  We need both the raw numbers and also the increased
numbers of tecnical professionals that such modernization would bring.

We have stagnated at about the 1950s/1960s level in the basic
technologies that we are using commonly (SSB ... Morse code is from
the early 1800s).

Where hams used to be the inventors, developers and early adoptors of
new technology, we're now clinging to the past in great numbers chanting
"CW forever" ...

RThat's NOT going to cut it when our bands become targets of commercial
interests ...  (HF WILL be targeted too in the next 20 years)

We're simply NOT living up to our obligations under Part 97.1 (purpose
and goals for the amateur radio service) ...  too many hams today feel
(eronoeously) that "It's JUST a hobby!"  ...  no, it's a service, and if
we don't start being worth (in public interest value) what our bands are
worth (in dollars) we'll lose our bands in the next 20 years for sure
..

For more, followup to rec.radio.amateur.policy ...

Sounds a lot like the same sort of crap that no-coders get from many

Oops... You were on the receiving end of a joke that fell badly.  Most
likely the person the guy at the register was talking to was John, N5EHP.
                                                                    ^
It is something of an ongoing joke in that store that John should get a
"real" callsign with a 0 in it.

Can't comment on your experience, but I found this ironic since one
of the guys working there (almost for sure NOT the one you're referring
to) has a 5 call...  Maybe they were joking?

I've had bad experience with HRO in Denver 3 moths ago. I'm from Dallas.
After looking at a variety of HF rigs (had just got general)
I went to check out and buy a magazine. The fellow at the
register noted my "5" callsign and I paid. He proceeded to
talk to his fellow counterman, loudly, in my direction, about how
Colorado was going to hell due to the 5 and 6 landers moving in.
He was stocky and in his forties with black hair, didn't catch name.

Needless to say the grand burning a hole in my pocket wasn't spent at HRO.

I haven't played with HT600's but I have done extensive work with the
Motorola Spectra's and MTX900. In that case all models have the same RF and
controller boards. The only difference is the factory programming. I have
successfully turned a trunking only Spectra unit into a conventional by
changing model number to that of a conventional in the E2PROM. I had to do
this in a debugger by patching the programming software and manually
changing the model number in hex. Tedious and I've only done it once. I'd
bet the HT600's are the same.... If you run across software that let's you
hex edit for HT600 or other mot HT's (specifically MTX900) please let me
know. The mot lab s/w will let you do that but I haven't access to it
(though I'd certainly work a deal to get it for the MTX900!).

Save the radio personality. Open it with a hex editor. Change the last

On p.17 in the manual you can open up the tx and rcv bands a bit by

I wonder has anybody noticed that when you when you power up your ic-706
with the power+rit+preamp buttons pressed at the same time that you can the
rig give you the option to  re-calibrate the RIT-adj and the SHIFT-adj...

Try it!

Also if you want to see all the functions displayed on the dot-matrix
display   power up pressing the disp button up the same time..

Try  it!

If any body else has noticed things like this let me know!

I just picked up a IC 706 used and really enjoy it. I us it primarily
mobile but do bring it inside a lot also....I am not a purist, I bought
the 706 for its features and small size. The most ovious problem too me is
the lack of sensitivity above 2 meters but I knew this before I bought it,
I dont need a scanner. ( the aircraft band is a-ok though ). I have worked
all around on HF and Have made my first ever @ meter SSB and  meter
contacts.  The Yeasu is too big and busy....if you split the front panel a
lot of controls are left on the main body of the rig.
In comparison I wont spend megga bucks for stereo equipment either, my
Pioneer sounds just fine Hi Hi. I sugest you listen to one and make up
your own mind...

Dumb question, but are you sure the Freq. Lock button isn't pushed?

1 - Make sure power is off
2- While pushing [UP] and [DOWN], push [POWER] to turn power ON

        I had a friend of mine experience something similar a couple
of years ago.  He had a Yaesu FT-757GX  HF rig.  The unit worked great
until all of a sudden he had no receive and could not figure out what
the hell was going on.  He spent 1 1/2 days trying to figure out the
solution to the problem...IE...maybe coax...maybe loose speaker
wire...maybe squelch...and so on.
        Well finally the next day after haven taken the rig apart and
put back to together he noticed the problem.  He had depressed the MOX
button accidently.  He was real embarassed to tell us what the problem
was and once he fessed up to it we named him  "MOX MAN" !!!

        Take care.

        I have just purchased a IC-281H and would like to expand the receive

coverage in the uhf and Vhf bands.

Would someone be willing to spill the beans on this Radio?

I have not been able to find any mods in QRZ or ect for this rig.

With driving over 800 miles a week I need all the entertainment I can find

to keep me awake.

If someone has skematic diagram for this critter I think I could find

my way threw the forest.

                                        Thanks a bunch for interest in helping

                  After about half hour use on 18mHz and above, received
signals develope an "aurora" type sound (cw and SSB) which gradually gets
worse. Sometimes it quits altogether. My transmitted signal is affected
in the same way.
                   20m band and above not affected.

I have tried removing the internal switching type PSU and using external
but same condition exists.
                           Any ideas would be appreciated. 73, Ken.

Sounds like you need to replace the variable vco (4)caps with ceramic
ones available from ICOM. The existing ones are plastic and deterioate
with age.

Hello Ken,

I had the same problem in my Icom 761 about 2 years ago.  My problem was
a plastic trimmer cap in the VCO circuit that started drifting after
about 1/2 hr of warm-up time.  I called ICOM, and they sent me 4 ceramic
trimmer caps to replace all the VCO caps, not just the problematic one.
It was a little bit of effort to replace them, but haven't had any
problems since.  Hope this was helpful.

73, Stan N3KK

How to set the mini repeater system. (Cross band repeater.)

- Cut the D14 diode on logic unit.
  It is not necessary for USA version.

- Set desire frequency at both band.

With hang up time type repeater
-  Push the VHF abd UHF  main knobs while puch [SET/LOCK] key
   at more than one second.

No hang up time type repeater
-  Push the VHF and UHF main knobs and puch [SET/LOCK]+[DUP] keys at
   the same time more than one second.

When set the mini repeater mode, flashing "L" display on channel.

How to return normal mode.
-   Push [SET] key at more than one second.

I hope the above information is useful for you.

If anyone know how to make a USA version of IC-2700H tune up
to 900MHz, please let me know.

Thank you

I believe Roy Lewallen coined these terms, so he might be the
best person to ask (antenna newsgroup).  My own simplified
definition would be something like "a current balun attempts
to force equal currents into the load, while a voltage balun
attempts to apply equal votages."

>Is there a core difference or winding difference?

The windings make the difference, although not all current
baluns require windings per se.  If a number of ferrite beads
are slipped over the end of coaxial feedline where it attaches
to the load, the cable + beads creates a 1:1 current balun.

Ferrite is the best choice for broadband baluns operating in
the range of 80 -10M or 160 - 10M.  A balun will not work
properly though if the load impedance changes significantly.
For example, if your dipole has traps and it's resonant on
all the bands of operation, fine.  If the dipole is not
resonant, the impedance presented to the balun will likely
cause it to malfunction on some or all bands.  The usual
symptoms are power losses, either in the balun itself or
elsewhere in the system, or loss of balance (shack RF and/or
feedline radiation).

I can tell you one thing I've learned Rick. Don't use a current balun
where you are dealing with a high voltage loop. Current baluns work great
for things like loop antennas where voltages seldom get very high. Using
one to match an 80 meter dipole on 40 meters may result in breakdown,
unbalanced currents etc. I use a loop and a 4:1 current balun which is
made of two 95 ohm coax cables about 1ft long and 100 ferrite beads and it
works geat.

I am looking for quick battery charger, batteries, handy speakerphone

I just bought a Kenwood TH-79A with the high power PB-34 battery.
The instruction manual warns against charging the battery more than 15 hours
with the included wall charger but does not indicate the normal length of time
necessary to fully charge a completely dead battery.  Can anyone tell me how
long to leave the battery charging with the included wall charger?

I have a TH78A that I am trying to connect to a repeater controller. The
controller needs a "COS" signal, ie., a logic signal that changes state when a
specific PL tone is heard. So far I have scoped out the PL board and haven't
found a signal like this.

Does anyone know where I can find this signal on the circuit board ?

Thanks and 73

Would you consider selling just the DG-5?  I already have the 520S but
need the DG-5.  I also have the service manuals for the 520S that I
might consider sending your way to include in the package if you might
consider selling just the DG-5. :-).

There is a TS570 out now - actual rigs being shipped ahead advertising!
Seen one up close -played with the knobs, etc. at a hamfest Sunday, Oct. 6th.
Looks like a nice basic rig with limited DSP.  I think it retails @ $1,300 US.
Not a replacement, but lower entry rig for the newbies per Kenwood rep.

Hello and thank you for reading this note.

I recently bought a King LMH-3142 Radio at a fleemarket.  The seller had
no information about the unit.  It is the two meter version.

Do you have any information about programming the radio, or know where I
can get this information.

Thanks,

        I'm in the process of obtaining an amplifier with QSK capabilities
which I plan to use with my Icom 765.
        Does anyone know if the amp keying relay in the 765 is fast enough
to prevent hot switching in the amp? Or am I going to have to find a dual
trace scope?

Hey, congratulations!!!  Well done indeed.  This is a good time to get a rig,
as there are the new digital rigs out there, and lots of people are unloading
perfectly excellent earlier models for quick cash.  Good luck!

I think I have a second manual here. I'll have to look. However, it is
not the operating manual. I believe it is the service manual. I may
have thrown it out a few years ago as I had two of them. I accidentaly
ordered a second service manual.

Should I look for it or do you want the operating manual?

I recently purchased an old Kenwood TS-140, with a few goodies.  One is a (als
o old :-)
Yaesu transverter:  FTV-107R.  Just one problem, tho- I have no manuals, or ev
en an
inkling of how to connect the thing!  Previous owner has made a mod to the TS-
140 to
allow use of a transverter-- I think it involved bringing a low-level signal o
ut of the
radio just before the final, and then running a resistive attenuating network.
  In any
case, any info. you may have on how to connect would be greatly appreciated.
Oh-- the
transverter's capable of 6m, 2m, 70cm, although it only has the 6m module inst
alled (as
nearly as I can tell from disassembly).

I think you will have a problem with case interference, but it can be
solved by drilling new holes in the chassis and the front panel. The
roller is much better than the Delron core Oren Elliot part they were
using, the Q is about double.

Another alternative is a Cardwell roller. It isn't as good as the air core
because it has some series resonance problems but the ceramic form won't
melt.

By the way, be sure to use as much C as possible when matching the load,
to keep the Q down. That helps reduce heating.

not as easy as it sounds.)

What would it take to use the microwave band(s) with EME?
How much power would I need?
Is the equipment readily avalible?

Please reply via e-mail.

Replace the 12BY7 with a 4-1000A


Sorry but I cudn't resist.

Seriously, I would suspect the driver.  I think it is a 12BY7 and they
can go soft.  Find a NOS and give it a try.

I recently bought an ICOM IC-T7a which I am planning to take

I am therefore interested in modifying the radio to European
ham band use.
Is there anybody out there that can give me some hints on how to do this?
Other mods are welcome too, off course.

Thanks in advance,

I have an old NDI HC-1400 2 meter radio.
It is a first generation synthesized radio, with an LED (not LCD)
frequency display. I have the manual for it, but nothing is said about
the accessory plug on the back. Anyone have the pinouts?

I'm trying to fix a friend's KWM-2 that just suddenly stopped working. The
only output is some milliwatts on a freq about 455kc above the dial freq. The
rcvr also seems to be pretty dead...just hiss. It appears that the first xmtr
mixer is not functioning correctly but I'm not sure why. The only output from
that stage is the VFO signal...I think I should see the VFO freq - 455kc. I
can't see any obvious problems...voltages on the tube all look good. The tube
has been replaced with a known good one. I'm beginning to suspect that the
mechanical filter might be bad. The input to it looks good but I don't think
the right stuff is coming out of the filter.  Question is...do those filters
go bad? What should I see coming out of the filter? I can say for sure,tho,
that the output from the mixer is not right. Any KWM-2 wizards out there who
can offer any advice?

Thanks & 73...   Mark  AA7TA

I had the same problem, as did a cow-orker who bought one. When you use tons
of solder to mount the final, some of the solder wicked under the transistor.
I removed the transistor (thinking I had blown it soldering it in) and when I
replaced it, everything ~worked~. (Tilde {~} added to express sarcasm). BTW -
In violation of their recommendations, I used my Big Bertha(TM) 240W soldering

gun to mount the transistor to the board. Didn't hurt the part. Kept me from
having to use too much solder, the case of the part and the top of the board
were properly heated.

One you get it working, you'll find you'll need that specan again - Add an
output filter, or tune for minimum splatter, not maximum output.

p.s. I now own two Ramsey FX-6 bookends/paperweights. The receivers suck. TX
is good. I built a Ten Tec 2 to 6 transverter. MUCH better.

The AEA PK-88 is a basic TNC for 2 meters and 440.  It has a lot more
bells and whistles than the MFJ models, and is much easier to setup
and use.  I had no problems using it right out of the box.

And a 1 amp current draw, you can fry eggs with it.  KPC-3 draw 20-40 mAmp.
 And compared to the costs of Telephone modems these days, all 1200 baud
TNCs should cost $10.00

I've been looking into buying my first radio. I don't want to limit myself
and allow for expansion as I get more into HAM (and more $$ in my
pockets!). I think what I would really like to have is an inexpensive 2M
radio with FM, SSB, and CW but the only ones that I can find are pushing
close to 4 digits. Can one be had or built for under $400? I'm not looking
for huge tx power or anything. Can someone advise me a little?


OR even better yet...anyone willing to be an "internet elmer"? My local
club meets on Thursday nights and I have nightclass then. Would prefer
someone in the South East as I might be able to visit sometime in person.
Any takers?


TIA,
Grady

*** Please reply through Email as well - thanks ***

Yesterday I bought a Sommerkamp FRG-7 at an auction. The Sommerkamp
FRG-7 is AFAIK identical to the Yaesu FRG-7, and a colleague of mine
told me that if you peel off the Sommerkamp label, there's a Yaesu label
right underneath, so that should be no problem. :-)

My new FRG-7 looked fine, but when I tried it at home I discovered that
the PLL won't lock. As far as I know, the FRG-7 has a 1 MHz XO, and a
tuning knob that controls a VFO, which is then phase-locked with  the 1
MHz XO signal, to get multiples of 1 MHz (1, 2, 3 ... 29 MHz).

The red 'Lock' LED on my FRG-7 is always on. The PLL won't lock, I don't
get a stable multiple of 1 MHz but instead the 'multiple MHz' VFO acts
as a free-running oscillator.

I don't have much experience with the FRG-7, but years ago we had one
(the Yaesu version) at the Hydromechanics Lab at Delft Polytechnical
University, and I remember that the red 'Lock' led used to go off when
the PLL was locked. Do I remember this correctly? If not, what is the
correct procedure to tune a FRG-7? Does the PLL also lock (I think it
should) if no antenna (or only a short piece of wire) is connected?

What's the idea with the small button at the right side of the tuning
scale (marked 'Tune' and 'Set' if I remember correctly, I don't have the
receiver here at the office right now)?

I am especially looking for (copies of) the owners manual and service
manual (esp. the circuit diagram) of the FRG-7. Preferably from someone
living in the Netherlands. :-)

*** Please reply through Email as well - I can't read the newsgroups
often. ***
Any reply greatly appreciated!!

I too have had my FT-50R for a while (45-50 days) and love it.  Read the
manual carefully should you buy it, as with most HTs today, programing and
using the many functions can get confusing.  I highly recommend the
software/cable package (You MUST use the supplied cable).  I have version
1.05 of the software and some of the mods detailed in FT50R web site won't
work.
To sum it up VERY please with the Yaesu FT-50R!

Hi,
  Does anyone have a copy of the schematic for a Allied Radio model A-2515 gen
eral
coverage RX? (circa 1970).
  I need a copy and would cover copying etc.
Tnx

I recently purchased an ORIGINAL copy of the 1936
Two Hundred Meters and Down, the history of amateur radio

This copy is in almost perfect condition.
Does anyone know how much it might be worth?
Is anyone interested in buying it?
Thanks

Are you using one?  I just received one and I'm using it with APRS.  I
would appreciate any comments/hints/tips from anyone using one...

Hello, I am considering to buy a PACTORII unit from SCS GBMH, the PTC-2

See for more information:

http://www.scs-ptc.com/pactor2.html

From this URL I got my information, what I am trying to figure out is if it
is really is the very robust digital communication method that they claim
it to be, or if it is just another sales pitch.

After all, $900+ bucks is not cheap.

Is there any-one out there that has bought this TNC? What are the
experiences?

What are the chances that pactor-II might be licensed out to other
manufacturers TNCs like AEA?


Thanks,

Loek d'Hont    [e-mail]

Hi Rich,

The amount of grid current has a lot to do with class of operation,
although it doesn't determine the actual class. The anode conduction angle
determines the letters in the class, and any change in grid current
changes the conduction angle of the anode in most PA's.

A change in grid current generally changes the conduction angle, even
though it doesn't directly determine the class. It also determines the
subscript, like class AB1 or AB2.

Almost EVERY amateur linear PA is class AB something, not class B. Class B
implys a conduction angle of 180 degrees, no more and no less. It may have
grid current or it may not. Class A is a conduction angle of 360 degrees,
it may have grid current and it may not. Class AB is a conduction angle of
less than 360 but more than 180 degrees, it may have grid current or it
may not. Class C is a conduction angle of less than 180 degrees.

ANY of these classes can be non-linear (even class A), linearity is a
separate issue. A linear amplifier *implys* it is class B through A, but
doesn't tell us what class at all. But being class A does not tell us the
PA is linear.

 You just can't believe anything you hear these days... and I ain't talkin'
about the presidential election... has nothing to do with the operating
point... regardless of where you set your CW/SSB switch on any commercial
linear (and the operative phrase is l-i-n-e-a-r) amp you are running class
B.  It simply is to keep the output impedance of the tube at about the same
point in both modes to maintain the Q of the output circuit.

time to whip out the handbook and brush up guys... don't they ask these
sorts of questions on the novice test any more?

 the class of operation has nothing to do with grid current.  i design BIG
commercial amps (we call 'em RF power generators) in my spare time (9-5, mon
thru fri).  it is the conduction angle that counts.

Actually Rich, you are usually running class AB, NOT B. If there is grid
current class class AB2 and if not class AB1.

But you are right, the reason they switched voltage was to maintain the
same Q at two widely different power levels.

It sounds like the "unusual device" is a bias stabilization and tracking
device ... CTC used to make one called a BYISTOR ... it's coupled
tightly to the heatsink so it tracks the junctions of the RF devices to
help prevent thermal runaway.  The 200 Ohm trimmer is clearly the means
of adjusting the "idle bias" of the class AB stages for the desired
quiescent current and linearity.

To get good intermod (and probably 3rd harmonic) performance from a
transistor amp, the bias source must have a very low impedance.
To prevent thermal problems, it must also be temperature compensated
to track the B-E junction voltage of the power transistor.

Probably your device is an IC that has been purpose-designed to perform
this function.
The Motorola "RF Semiconductors" databook has a couple of application
notes describing wideband power amplifiers using transistors, and you
can find bias circuits in there that probably are roughly the same as
what can be found inside those devices.

I believe the part that you are referring to was called a Byristor by CTC
(Communications Transistor Corp.) I think the CTC Part number was BY-1.
It is a diode with the construction of the
base emitter junction of a RF transistor, and a resistor from the anode to
the second terminal. It was intended to be used in
the base bias network of linear amplifiers to temperature compensate the
bias with the same characteristics a the RF transistors
base emitter junction. Motorola application notes use the base emitter
junction of a power transistor that is bolted to the heat sink  to do the same
 job.
I remember the device being discussed in a article in Ham Radio magazine in th
e
70's and in an issue of RF design magazine in the 80's. I hope this helps. Reg
arding
converting the bias to class A  It depends on the device, check the Motorola
application notes for info on this topic. RCA had a good application note on
the topic in there old RF power data book. The basic issue was hot spotting
which is improved by emitter ballast resistors in the RF transistor. I suspect
 though
that you will not get as much improvement as you hope going to full class A.
I suspect that increasing the negative feedback and other distortion canceling

techniques will give better results. I hope this helps

It will be some form of regulator. The simplest explanation is that
the module contains a variable voltage regulator the output of which is
governed by the 200 ohm pot. Thermal tracking to prevent runaway and
maintain bias with device temperature is ensured by the package bolted
to the heatsink having some form of temperature sensor.

Unless you really need class A, this device will be appropriate for good
AB1 linearity.

Getting rid of the 3rd harmonic is best done with a filter, not by bias.

     Although I cannot help you with your information, I wanted
to send you this note and apoligize for Kory. The Citizen Band
situation, here in the US is a BIG problem and the FCC appears to
have washed their hands of the situation. The amateur radio population
 is the only defense against having these pirates take over our
bands. I suppose Kory missed your call sign and over reacted.

Thanks for not posting it fellows.

Let me say this much. Ameritron's policy is never to sell an amp to a CB
operator, or to service one, or to help them operate or repair one.

I agree, my HTX 202 works great and have had no problems. I use a hand

Looking for a 6 meter rig for the house, it could be 12 volt as I do
have a good power supply.  I'm looking for something that will work
all modes, with an antenna tuner.  Could also work HF.  Any
suggestions?

Hi Kory,
        Rohn also makes a line of push-up masts, more rugged, heavier
galvanizing, higher price. Look much more rugged than radshack, but
sounds like your plans are a bit optimistic. 18 feet freestanding
above the eaves will not take much wind load. Would do better with a
HD flagpole or junk streetlight pole.
        Good luck, Greg K3EWZ

Guys, I just bought the 50-foot Rohn telescoping mast, and
the price came in very close to the Radio Shack 40-foot model.
Mine easily supports a Mini-Quad (15 pounds) at 35 feet, with
support halfway up at the roof gable endwall.

Keep it light, and it will work fine.  You'll need one set of guys
with the setup you are contemplating.  I recommend drilling
through the mast at each joint and installing a through-bolt.

Guess I must be an old timer these days.  My first SWL receiver
was an Allied Knight-kit Span Master regenerative receiver with
a longwire antenna (from the house to utility pole out back).

My first amateur rig was a Hallicrafters S-38a receiver with a
Heathkit DX-20 transmitter.  My novice license says 1963 on it,
and that was Junior High School (middle school to you newbies).

I started as a Novice in 1959 with a Heathkit DX-40 and crystals on 40
and 15 cw. I built it myself. The receiver was a Hammarlund HQ-140-XA.
A dipole on 40 and a 15 mtr folded dipole were the antennas.

In 1960 I upgraded to Conditional (General privileges) and added an
ART-13  with 200 watts of real AM to the transmitter suite. I still
used the DX-40 on 15 and 10 as the ART-13 did not cover above 18 MHz.

I still own both transmitters and a different HQ-140-XA ---- they
reside in my personal museum...

OK, all you young fella's.  How abt a 58 & 59 home built rcvr.  The
xmtr was a single tube 117L7 (pwr sup and all) with a "long wire"
antenna.  Best DX was an OO rpt for 2nd harmonic from Nebr. (I was in
WV at the time.)  All circa 1947.  Now lets hear from the rest of the

The first successful radio I built was a "tapped-coil crystal set" from
an article in _Popular Electronics_ ca. 1958.  I substituted a 1N34 diode
for the galena crystal, and added a CK722 transistor amplifier from
another PE article.  It worked great!  I could hear and separate most of
the AM BC stations in Louisville, KY.  The biggest thrill was detecting
a very loud AM signal from the ham operator in my neighborhood!
That helped launch my electronics career.

The SX-73 was made by Hallicrafters around the time of the Korean War.
QST carried ads for it in 1952-53.  There is also an ad for the SX-73
in the ARRL Handbook, 1953 edition.  As far as I know, the SX-73 was
a Hallicrafters model number, made only by Hallicrafters.

The military designation R-274/FRR (not URR) applied to both the
Hallicrafters SX-73 and the Hammarlund SP-600 series.  Both receivers
cover 540 KC to 54 MC and have similar features, although they look
completely different.  The SX-73 also has built-in crystal control of
several fixed-frequency channels, selected from the front panel.

I currently own an SX-73 and it is a fine receiver with very smooth
gear reduction tuning, excellent audio quality and stability.  It's
been 20 years since I had an SP-600, but feel the Hammarlund looks nicer,
while the Hallicrafters works better.

I just finished building my 1220, and found a potential problem for
anyone who has built one.

The T/R switchboard (the one that is mounted to the 239 connector) had
a very small amount of copper on the board's outside edge that was
shorting the transmit coax together. It was interesting, because when
I was testing the unit with a dummy load and an SWR/power meter, there
was not much power. It read about .4 watts in high mode. I took the
unit back apart, and checked everything. All looked perfect. I got out
the trusty ole multimeter and found the short. The trace causing the
short is very small. I am shocked that it could put out any power at
all with that short.

Once cutting the trace, I could key a local repeater with just my
SWR/power meter into a dummy load! After tweaking the coils, the unit
puts out a solid 5.5 watts, stock.

I must say that this is a minor problem from Ten Tech. All in all, the
unit is exceptional. The kit is very well designed. Whoever layed out
the PCB deserves a big pat on the back. It is one of the nicest
layouts I have seen for such a dense mixed signal PCB.

I just wanted anyone with one of these units that has any kind of
range problem to be aware of what I found.

BTW: The unit has REALLY clean signals. The harmonics on mine are more
than 65db down. Receive sensitivity is very good.

I plan on asking Ten Tech for the source code to the processor. I
believe that I can perform a mod to include scanning capability!
Anyone interested?

Kent

Edwin,

Unfortunately ICOM has a hidden software that makes the radio fail when
used on certain CB frequencies.

It makes the transmitter transmit into the microprocessor, and blows the
radio up.

I wouldn't recommend the 706 for CB use because of that, you might use it
with no ill effects, or it may blow out right away.

Yes, I understand this is true and it's done on a "coin toss" basis. Your
706 may go for months until one day, poof! Hats off to Icom for thinking
of this.

And for all the rest of you who are thinking of transmitting on all kinds
of non-hamband frequencies, Keep in mind that the radio's output filters
were designed for a specific range of frequencies thus when you transmitt
on some out of band frequency, anything might happen such as final
blowing, swr/power detector diodes popping etc. So do so at your own risk!

I have a 706 in my car.  It is sometimes useful to listen to CH 19
for 'live' road/traffic reports.  Given the FCC's stance on CB band, I
don't understand why, if ICOM would go to any trouble to make operations
on CB freq's different, why they just wouldn't push the transmitter to
legal power limits only??  There is no need to do stupid foolish things
such as you approve of.

Last week (10/1 - 10/4) I put a plea for help for info on Cubic
Electronics in Ocean Side, Ca. Some very nice gentleman gave me the info
I needed. I have since had a complete system crash and lost ALL my
messages...in fact I lost 2 hard drives with everything on them. The
only thing I remember about the message was that his address started
with something like "HONT"..his name was Loenk (?), The important thing
was, he gave me the name of a guy that had worked for Cubic. He said the
guy still repaired Cubic radios for a fair price. H ealso said the guy
had a fax on during the day but in the evening it was off line. He gave
me the telephone number and all the info I needed. I can't remember
which newsgroup it was in. If he will PLEASE contact me again I would
appreciate it very much. I need the same info again.

I am posting this to all the ham and radio newsgroups to find this good
samaritan again. I sent him a thank you message, but of course that is
also gone now so I can't get the address from there.

If you haven't already, check out newsgroup rec.radio.swap.  A

FYI -

I just learned that Tucker Electronics has pulled out of the amateur
radio business. Calls to their local number here in the Dallas area
receive a recording saying their ham operation has been sold to HRO but
that they will remain in the test equipment business. I finally was able
to talk with a receptionist who told me that as far as she knew, HRO was
not going open a store in Dallas -- they just bought Tucker's ham radio
assets.

I'm gonna miss Tucker.  I hate dealing with Texas Towers.  If you're not
one of their little "clique", they don't wanna talk to you.  I've been
treated quite rudely in there, but never in Tucker's.  Oh, well.  I like
dealing with HRO anyway.  Are they opening a store here, or just getting
all of Tucker's ham stock?

Wish I'd known of this sooner so I could go down to Garland and pick
up any items I've been putting off.  We were spoiled here in Dallas,
having Tucker and Texas Towers.  Tucker always was a bit pricy though.

I'll second this comment.  The people at Texas towers can be very rude.

I've been there about 4 time (I'm a new HAM) and EVERY TIME they could care
less that I was there.  On one of the trips I was able to get _some_ help.
Less than 2 min into the "help" the clerk said "I'll be back."  He walked over

to what appeared to be one of his buddies.   I hung around in the store for
about 20 more minutes.   He never came back!!!!

As a result I bought my Kenwood HT-79A(H) some were else.
I'm now looking for a moble rig.

I'll third this comment.  I was treated _very_ rudely when I went in there.  I

won't be going back.

Don't know where you live, but Hardin Electronics over in Ft. Worth now has my

business.  Nice, helpful people.  I'm gonna miss Tucker.

Has anyone had any experience with Tucker products specifically
the T-1000 antenna tuner?  My old MFJ 949D is shot and I need a
new tuner for my G5RV and I just wondered if the T-1000 was any
good. I assume most of these 300W tuners are all about the same
just a different box and name, but I've had good and bad luck
with MFJ and thought about trying a different brand of tuner. I
usually only run about 50 watts cw so I don't need any big or
high dollar tuner, just one that works. Any help or thoughts
would be most appreciated. Thanks

I've used the T-1000 and have no complaints.  I'm told it has the
exact design as the MFJ only a different case and label (and this
comes from a friend who works for MFJ).

What do you want to do? HF is communicating over short or long to very
long distances, many modes(CW, SSB, etc.) in which case you want the Tech
Plus with code. If you like to get into VHF/UHF, don't bother with code,
get the Tech license.
I am like HF operation. I lke the idea of morse code communication, I like
the chance to talk to people all over the world, as well as locally with a
self-contained unit, ie. no repeaters, etc. You may be turned on by HTs
and all the local activity, or fast packet radio, or many other
possibilities. Your best bet is to get into some clubs, or friends, and
see what they do, get a Tech Plus and operate HF, VHF/UHF, then buy a rig
or rigs that fit your interests. E-mail me if you decide to go HF, I would
love to have somebody else to do CW with. As to what radio, I love my
Yaesu FT 900 AT, but there are a lot of really good new and used units out
there. Asking this newsgroup for experiences is a good place to start, the
decision is ultimately yours as to which of the good units feels and runs
best for you.

I'm sure glad I looked at the STANDARD line of equipment - which I see
is missing from your list. I wouldn't trade my Stanmdard C558a dual
bander for any of the competition's comparables on the market.

I also own two Standard C288a HTs (220 only) which are excellent
performers.

ALL the manufacturers you mention produce quality units. Your best bet
would be to join your local Amateur club and get first-hand information
from people who know what you need.

Hams who may have surplus UHF transmitters,
please consider loaning or donating a
working or near-working xmtr to assist
victims of electronic weapons testing.

We victims hope to set up a demonstrator
unit which will show public officials that
the technology for RF weaponry is not
futuristic "pie-in-the-sky" but has already
been developed and is in continuous use
on innocent civilians in the U.S., Canada,
and other countries.

We have signal specs, and would need to
modulate the rig according to those specs.
Please visit the following site for more
information:

http://www.netaccess.on.ca/~raven1

This forward-looking act of service to
people in distress would be in the highest
traditions of the amateur radio service.

Thanks to all who take time to read this.

Hi all,

I have a couple of FT-11's with VOX headsets (I think they are
VC-22's).  Anyway, when using them there is absolutly no feedback
in the earpiece to let you know that the mic is keyed.  If the
gain is too high and outside noise is keying it, or if you are
hiking and breathing heavy, you can't tell that it is keyed.

My kids have a pair of Radio Shack FM VOX headsets that feed
a little of your own audio back in the earpiece when the mic is
keyed, much like a telephone.  They work GREAT!

Does anyone know of a mod that can be made to the Yaesu
headset to do the same?  I would settle for anything, audio,
a click, a hum, etc...

Thanks

Hello,
        I have a Yaesu FT-767 with all three modules installed. It also has the
tone board installed. Radio is in good condition and works excellently.
I want some new toys so this one has to go. I also have the Yaesu SP-767
speaker for it. I also have a Omni DX-88 vertical antenna for it if
anyone is interested. I would prefer to sell the radio and modules
together but I will consider offers on any of the items seperately. This
rig is an excellent choice for HF as well as VHF/UHF all mode work. It
does have the connections built in for packet and CAT control. If you
wish to ask more questions please feel free to call me at   Days:
320-632-8308   Evenings:  320-547-0092
Or you can E-Mail me at [e-mail]
Thanks for reading this message and have a great day.  DE  N0RLF

I just read a Ten-Tec add offering a 6 meter fm transceiver kit,
output five watts. OK.  It goes on to add " (sorry, FCC rules forbid
sales of add-on power amp) " .  Since when was five watts the leagle
limit on 6M?  Anyone know whast up with that?

    Never!  It's probably some artifact of a DTP program or some

think. Now only CBers Have amps in that range. Sorta like banning guns,

Sure looks cute, and it apparently costs less than $150.
Anybody have an early model, and care to comment on
usability / performance?  Can 340 mW really cut it?

Guess you're unlucky.  I've had my DX-70T for eleven months now, and I
haven't had any trouble at all.  It's performed perfectly all the time.

I've heard far more people complaining about IC-706 problems...

If my memory serves correct.  The HW202 was a 2 meter transceiver.  I think
there was an amp sold to work with its 10watt output, but I don't remember
the model number.

Don't know if this is the correct place for a question of this nature
or not, but here goes.

I'm planning on mounting 3 antennas on one pole.

        top: 2m/70m verticle
        mid: 2m quad or verticle pol. beam
        bot: 6m 3 element horzontial pol. beam

Now, the question.  What is the minimum spacing between each of these
antennas?

I have looked thru the ARRL Antenna book and couldn't find anything,
also the ARRL Operations book.

Have you visited Sin Lin Square?  It is a big electronic outlet
covering at least a city block in Singapore.  When I was last there
(1994) I did notice some Ham equipment.  Sorry I lost the business
card to one of the many merchants that are located in that building
but it is a big place for all electronics, from test equipment to
computers.

Good Luck,
Eric KJ7NC

Someone told me that there is "Ocean Radio" ham radio equipment store in
S'pore with huge stock list and very good prices. Does anybody knows is this
store in Sin Lin Square or located somewhere else?

Hello Slobodan,
Most ham shops in Singapore are located at Sim Lim Tower and/or Sim Lim
Square on Jalan Besar Rd. One reputable dealer is:

Blazer Electronics
B1-22 Sim Lim Towers
Jalan Besar, Singapore 0820
Tel: [phone]
FAX: [phone]
Managers name:  Mr.  U. Chettiar

I've purchased a few items from these folks before, and have not had
any problems.  They mail-order too.

There is a store in Singapore somewhere, I'll see if I can find out where.
A friend of mine had a friend of his go over there and picked up a IC706
for under $1000.

Sim-lim tower and Sim-Lim Square. Easy to reach with the underground,

You REALLY will have to search meticulously for HAM gear in all those
electronic stores. There are no specific HAm stores, they sell all kinds of
stuff mixed; HiFi, world receivers, cameras and ham stuff and so on. (at
least when I was there, a year ago)

In any case, these Sim Lim locations are a heaven for the electronics
shopper. TONS of little stores and very interesting gadgets.

The best deals on ham stuff you can get is for slightly older models. I had
real good deals on some Icom radios.
It is custom to bargain but don't overdo it. The best you can get is 15%
off, but settle for 10% if negotiations are tough, it is still a good deal.

Good luck and have fun

Loek

Does anyone have the FT3000M yet. Good rig? What are the good points and
bad points? What does the MARS/CAP modification frequency range open the
radio upto? Any Mods? Anyone have both a FT50R and a FT3000M? How about
the A.R.T.S., does it function well?
Thanx in advance.

Hi Curt,

I have an MFJ artifical ground that I bought to tune the counterpoise
wire I'm using with my Hamstick mobile antennas out my apartment window.

I tune the unit for maximum current in the wire.  The results: I have no
clue whether is does any good at all! I suspect not.

Curt,

Those devices merely tune out (cancel) the reactance in the wire running
from the radio to the actual ground system. While this reduces RF
problems, like a hot mic, it does nothing to improve the actual ground
system.

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a wide band receiver and have narrowed
the choice to the AOR AR5000 or the new Icom ICR 8500.

I think the Icoms too new, but has anyone got a AR5000?
If so how does it perform.
(Audio quality, sensitivity at UHF, scan speed etc.)

Please email any comments to [e-mail]

Not a bad idea.  I will as soon as my 50 comes back from the shop.
Seems to have gone deaf after only 4 days.  I would suggest that
people include the first 4 digits of their serial number and what mods
they have done along with the file.  The first 4 digits are
significant to the template of the radio, and the mods and options are
as well.

Conrad,
Do you realize that this scheme is called Wire Fraud and Mail Fraud? Most
everyone else does that reads this crap. ESPECIALLY with such a misleading
title and the fact that it was cross-posted to 10 different NG's! A message
has been sent to your ISP notifying them of your actions, along with copies
to the FCC and US Postal Service. KEEP THIS CRAP OUT OF OUR NEWS-GROUPS!

Hello

I have just purchased a Yaesu FT8500 and I am very interested in
programming the CAT port.  The hex control codes look real easy to
manupulate and it whould be relatively simple in Visual Basic..

Has anyone done any CAT programming ?  I'd be interested in discussing
ideas...  I've noticed that I can read values from my FT990 like the
"S" meter but the FT8500 doesn't appear to have any fields I can read
from ?!?  Any ideas ???

Thanks..Pete..vk2yx

Anyone familiar with how to do a panadaptor IF input conversion?
**I have a 455KC HO-13 Hamscan I want to use with an FT-1000D
The IF out - on the FT-1000D is 73.62 MHz -- WOW!  Can this be done
by altering circuitry/ciols, etc in the HO-13??  Appreciate any help.

Is it possible (or feasible) to make a conversion so my HO-13 HamScan
Panadaptor (455Kc IF) will work with the 73.62 MHz IF out of an FT-1000?
I'd like to make the MOD to the panadaptor itself, but also OK for a
small outboard device -- whichever.  Does anyone have experience in
this?  I'd be interested.  Thanks!

==============================================================
The SB620, a similar device, allows you to also inject an oscillator
into the cathode of the input tube and thus use that input tube as an
additional step of conversion. Presumably one could inject a 70 MHz
signal there and view a 73.395 MHz IF. I haven't tried this, but I
would bet money it would work. They didn't intend it to be used this
way, and don't mention it in the manual. The additional input was
intended to use it as some sort of spectrum monitor.

If your HO13 has this same provision, try it out with a signal
generator at approx 70 MHz. If not, have a look at the SB620 schematic
- you can probably add circuitry to inject the signal if your "front
end" is similar.

I have found a source for those DC power cord plugs. The ones I've got
have use male plastic with 6 metal female (barbed) inserts.

The plug fits most 12VDC HF radios:
Icom 720, 730, 735, 706..and alike, newer Yaesu and Alinco DX70.
Kenwood-TS120, 130, 140, 430, 440, 450, 850..TS50, 60, 660, 670,
680..and more.

Make your own power cord yourself, YOUR WAY!
Crimp or solder, short or long, heavy gauge wire, purple with pink
polka-dots...

Each DC Plug comes complete with 6 crimp/solder inserts
for $4 each, or the deal 3 for $10.

                 All prices include postage in the US and Canada.

To order, kindly send a check in US funds to:

Robert Langston
286 Hudson Street
Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y.  12520

You can also email me for info at: [e-mail]

It's a great deal if you use one rig at home, in the car or at work
and are stuck re-connecting and dragging the power cord all over....

It sure beats paying $30 for a spare from your dealer.

Look at the FT-8500, I just bought one and too early to tell if it's a
wonderful radio or not, haven't even installed it yet.

There was also the R4-A. It had the solid state LMO like the R4-B. I don't
recall if the R4-A was triple or double conversion. I think it was just a
double conversion with the R4-B a triple conversion. The R4-A had the
selectable skirt IF filter with descrete components.

Have a friend who needs some heavy-duty repairs on his TR-7.

Anyone know if repairs are available from the factory and have an
address and phone number for Drake if they're still doing business?

I'll appreciate the help. Thanks!

Has anyone had problems with the CW offset on a TR7 being too high (~1000
Hz)?  I tried increasing the series capacitance with the crystal and even
shorted across the trimmer capacitor to ground, this brought the offset to
1070 Hz.  I replaced the crystal and managed to get the offset down to 970
Hz but it will go no lower.  It would be nice to have the offset at 800 Hz
where it belongs.  Any thoughts would be appreciated as would direct reply
via e-mail.  73 de Mark, WB9BVV

Stone Mountain Engineering Keypad. This keypad is a super accessory for
the 735. It allows direct freq entry and automatically sets normal mode
for the frequency entered. $700 shipped for the package, or would take a
Ten Tec radio in trade (up or down) especially looking for a Delta II,
but would consider any Ten Tec. Please email direct for more info.

Are these filters the 500hz CW filters for two different IF stages or

        I have a RS PRO-46 handheld scanner that I am desperately trying
to part with. The unit is in good shape and I am the original owner. There
seems to be a slight lack of sensitivity in the 170MHz range, but there
isn't much activity out here in that range. I have the original box for it
and must admit that I don't know how much they are going for used. So
someone make me an offer. Oh, before I forget, it has NOT YET been
modified in any way to allow reception of cellular. This you will have to
do yourself as I value my license too much to take the risk.

Thanks,

Well, I "cut the green wire" and, sure enough, I have am receive.
But I still need tx on 155.160. It appears this will be "new"
info for the net- it is not available on (in?) Oakland or (qrp? I
wrote it down, checked it, had no luck, and forgot it!).  In any case-
this is a pseudo legal request (no, it's not type accepted, but I
only use it for emergency (search and rescue) communication) and the
radio is only sortof useful without it.

Does anyone out there know how to open up tx on a Yaesu FT2200?
I'll even scan the schematics if you're that good!

It's very nice but has one bug. The cpu crystal is around 24.980- 25.08
but strangely it varies from rig to rig. The second harmonic wipes out
part of 6m and I mean wipes out. S9+ and noise sidebands +/-20khz so
don't try using a transverter. I've just received my replacment which
supposedly has the harmonic this time at 49.99 rather than 50.157 like
previous. My only moan. Check it first, just put a six metre rig close
by. Also check you aren't losing the top end of 12m. The fundamental
signal is very noisy and again 9+. Unfortunately Yaesu Japan don't seem
to care. Yaesu UK is taking a bit more notice.

It has been reported that the firmware in the radio has been changed ,
not software, by the people that wrote software. Quote....
" The firmware inside the radio has been changed so that pulling the
plug will not toggle the radio into the European mode. This change was
made in radios with the 3rd and 4th digits of the serial number greater
than 05"
RT Systems"

Well, at least mine was able to receive TV channels 11 and 13
audio which are active here in seattle.  That wouldn't be possible without
the mod.  Also, TV audio bandwidth is a good reason for Yaesu NOT
to widen the WIDE FM IF bandwidth.

If you were using the FT-50R's factory rubber ducky antenna, I firmly
believe what you wrote -- that rubber ducky antenna is a poor VHF
antenna and a horrible UHF antenna and almost not an antenna at all on
other frequencies.  What sort of antenna were you using to listen to
220MHz?  Hopefully a wideband Discone adapted to the FT-50R via the
BNC to SMA adapter.  If you were using the stock rubber duck, the
radio may work just fine but the antenna would be so bad on that band
you would never be able to accurately judge whether the radio worked
or not.

Exactly how do you do this?
I tried it and it if you have a single 0 on the screen then it ignores
the F/W button.

Hello everyone, I just purchased a yaesu ft-50r and love it.....except
for one thing. The modification to enable the extended receive for the
cell phone band no longer works with the new firmware in the unit.
Does anyone know of a way to enable this band??
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thankyou in advance,

I noted a row of 6 solder pads, just above jumpers 1 2 and 3 (remove 1 for mar
s/cap). On
my "new version" radio I found black resisters in positions 1 thru 5.
The resister in pos 1 had been soldered in after production.
I removed that resister. After reset and expanded rx functions were entered.
the radio now displayed freqs between 76mhz~200mhz 300mhz~400mhz 400mhz~540mhz

590mhz~1000mhz, less cells! ADMS-1c mod "yank the prog cable" didn't do its ma
gic. I
also triied moving res 1 to pos 6. No luck, it reduced rx coverage, and no tx
out of ham
bands. Removing res 2 didn,t help.
Maby one of you guys that have the older version radio could remove your key p
ad and
look at the resisters above jumpers 1 2 3. my radio also has a black resister
below
jumper 2 (mars/cap) just right of the three leg diode marked K. And to the rig
ht of
jumper 3.

Stop wasting your time. The firmware of the radio was changed and all
the diode moving in the world will not bring back the deleted portion of
the band. Besides, this radio picks up cell images really well. There is
no need to mod the radio

Run your battery down and give it a try,or experiment with voltage drops while

downloading.

I looking for any feedback on the Yaseu FT-8000 anyone can give me. I bought
one a few months ago, and had some problem with the audio on the left side
receiver after having it about a week. I returned it for another and have
noticed a different problem, but once again with the left side audio. At this
point, I would have to send it in for repair, but would like to first find out

if anyone else has had similar problems and if they were resolved.

The problem with the first radio was the audio on the left side receiver would

be about half the volume it should. It started out as an ocasional problem,
then grew into doing this about 90% of the time.

The problem I am having with the current radio is the audio on the left side
receiver has a 'worble' sound to it. It took me a while to realize that it was

my radio since it was at low volumes compared to the person I was listening to

and it sort of sounds like the other person has a something loose in their
microphone. This problem has also been intermitent to about 40% of the time.

Thanks in advance,
-BP

I had the same problem with my FT-8000. I sent it back and have no

Send it back to Yaesu.

        I have only got round to having a quick check of my 1000mp, and
surprisingly found that my carrier was on 24.977, well within the
Amateur band.
        This makes the second harmonic at 49.954, I can hear it clearly
on a baby listening device anywhere in the house. It is also not a good
idea to listen to classic fm around 100mhz when in the shack :-)

At least my six metres is clear !

You are correct that the standard mike makes things worse in the shack,
and anything else connected to the rig seems to help radiate the
carrier. I use a homemade headset, and its not as bad as the standard
mike, though changing the position and polarity of any connected cables
makes a differance.

Its a pity about this, I love the rig and wouldn't change it, but would
like to know how anyone gets on with Yaesu, mines still under warranty
so I suppose they should fix it.

Anyone familiar with the new Radio Shack / Motorola #19-902 PRS-102, UHF,
25KHZ, 2-watt, CSQ, FREQ 462.0 - 470.0 MHz, Hand-Held GMRS radios?

I just picked up two of them, and I'm curious about the pro's & con's.

Hello Bill:

I just picked up 2 of these radios myself.

First a slight correction...The (7) 462 interstitial frequencies plus
462.575 / 462.625 / 462.657 are included.  There are no DIP switches to
program the other (5) regular 462 channels.  Neither the 467 channels nor
repeater offsets are available either.  I bought carrying cases, spare
batteries and base-chargers as special-order options that arrived in
only 6 days.  (CTCSS is a $49. option that I didn't buy)

The "always-on" non adjustable squelch is also a pain as is the lack of

There are cheaper, more feature-filled radios but I chose the PRS-102
because of the unobstrusive size & solid Motorola construction.  Also I
feared that these radios would disappear from RS shelves as people bought
them to use (illegally) on the new Family Radio Service (same fqs, 2
watts instead of FRS 1/2 watt, external ant usable w/special onnector.)

I'm waiting for my GMRS license and haven't talked yet (REALLY!) so can't
give you a user report.  I'd be interested in hearing about your results.

Lots of Spanish & Arabic conversations w/no IDs have recently started to
appear on the GMRS/FRS frequencies here in Los Angeles.  Can anyone
confirm if FRS radios are actually BEING SOLD & IN USE?  Or are all the
people I'm hearing all bootleggers?

Tnx, good luck w/your radios...Ken

Hello Bill:

I just picked up 2 of these radios myself.

First a slight correction...The (7) 462 interstitial frequencies plus
462.575 / 462.625 / 462.657 are included.  There are no DIP switches to
program the other (5) regular 462 channels.  Neither the 467 channels nor
repeater offsets are available either.  I bought carrying cases, spare
batteries and base-chargers as special-order options that arrived in
only 6 days.  (CTCSS is a $49. option that I didn't buy)

The "always-on" non adjustable squelch is also a pain as is the lack of
an external power jack.

There are cheaper, more feature-filled radios but I chose the PRS-102

Hello Bill:

I just bought 2 PRS-102s myself.

First a slight correction...the (7) "interstitial" 462 fqs -and- 462.575
/ 462.625 / 462.675 are pre-installed in the radio.  There are no DIP
switches to change these fqs to the other (5) "regular" 462 GMRS fqs or
the 467 fqs.  Of course, there is no repeater offset.  The "always on"
pre-set squelch is a pain too as is the lack of an external power jack.

Nice carrying cases, spare batteries & basechargers were ordered as
options which arrived in 6 days.  A CTCSS add-on chip is also available
for $49.

There are cheaper radios w/more features but I chose the PRS-102 because
of its unobtrusive size & solid Motorola construction.  I also feared
that these radios would disappear from RS shelves if people bought them
to use (illegally) as "super FRS radios."  (same fqs: 2 watts GMRS Vs.
1/2 watt FRS, external ant usable w/connector Vs. unremovable ant on
FRS).

I'm waiting for my GMRS license and haven't talked (REALLY!) so cant'
give you a user report.  I'm very interested in hearing your comments
though.

un-ID's Spanish & Arabis simplex conversations are being hrd on GMRS fqs
here in Los Angeles.  Can anyone tell me positively if FRS radios are on
the street yet or are these guys all bootleggers.

FYI:  IT took me a month to track down a copy of GMRS rules:  47CFR Part
95, sub.A.  As far as I know, this is only available as part of a 858 pg
Code of Fed Regs book for $30.  I'll be happy to send a free photocopy of
the GMRS pages to anyone who sends me a business size envelope w/ 2
stamps:  Ken Kashiwabara, P.O. Box 486, Reseda CA  91337.

Is there a company in the US that manufactures comparable gear to the
Japanese for any ham bands?

I have seen adds for all of the Japanese stuff, but not much US stuff
in the mags. The only one I have seen is Ten Tech. Are there others
here that compete?

I do own a Ten Tech VHF unit. It was a kit, and lacks the features of
all of the fancy Japanese units you are familiar with. While it works
very well, it lacks the bells and whistles it's counterparts have,
being built overseas.

Are we dead in design and production of a really leading edge product
for hams? I'm not only talking VHF, but HF as well.

    For hams? ...yes.  Face it, leading edge USA products today are
aimed at all the emerging and now here personal communications areas.
Our best designers can earn much more in these fields!

    The Japanese have innundated and saturated the ham market and
are now crying "no growth".  This means no profits as they wish to
have them. <g>   The easy pickings are over ...but they will again
catch up down the road.  But, the Chinese will try, too.

    Take care,  recognize market value ...the US is THE world's largest
market for "leisure" products whether it be automobiles, ham gear or
household appliances, or anything else imaginable.

    That is ...until we lose purchasing power in the new world market
still emerging.  Keep watching over "your shoulder".

This is definitely true ... last spring, when I was contemplating
changing jobs, I actively sought out ham radio companies ... Ten-Tec,
the only significant US manufacturer of RADIOS for hams (as opposed to
the myriad of accessory companies) admitted that they could not come
close to a "normal" salary I could easily get in "real world" industry.

I want to make it *clear* that I think Ten-Tec is a fine company, or I
would not have even considered seeking employment there ... they're
simply caught in the situation where their product is competing with
off-shore production with cheap labor and government support (Japan,
Inc.)

I ended up with a much larger company which builds consumer-oriented
communications equipment (both wired and wireless) at a salary +bonus
+benefits of over 2X what Ten-Tec said would be "the most they could
possibly offer to anyone."

Hah, my wife is happy when I'm playing with the radio, or the computer. At

Can you help a fellow ham in Iceland? He contacted me looking for the open

could only find an AM mod. If you know of the open TX mod for the FT2200,
if there is one, could you please send it to me, and I will forward it to
him.

        I bought my ft-2200 a few months ago and I didn't have the AM
recieve
activated.  So I complained and got the mod for it:

        AM receive:

                1.  remove top and bottom covers, then remove speaker.
                2.  Lift the faceplate retaining tabs on top and bottom
to
                    slide the face off (pull the knobs off first you
knob).
                3.  remove the retaining nut on the tuning shaft and
lift
                    the clear plastic light guide off.
                4.  The 12 surface-mount sized jumpers are now visible.
                5.  If AM is disabled, there should be a jumper across
number
                    5.  Remove this and reset radio before use.  (I
think it
                    is number 5, my radio had only one jumper in place,
and
                    it was the one for AM block-out.  If you have more
than one
                    in place, contact me and I will give you the
double-checked
                    version of this mod.)

        Now, if you enjoy this mod, please send me any more that you
have
heard of for this model.  I would like a wide open radio to experiment
with
it's power output across the spectrum.  I need FM Rx and Tx extended.

Is it common for a radio to require a jump *made* instead of just
*cut*?  This
would have to be the case for this model since it doesn't have any
jumpers
soldered into place.  (12 pairs of surface-mount sized/spaced pads
numbered
from left to right).

thanks in advance!

Eric,

I have several older tube type shortwave receives that I enjoy, both
fixing and using, but let me relate this story.  I am involved in the
AFS exchange student program, and often times will find the schedule of
the students home SW station and invite them over.  Last year I had a
girl from Paraguay for a year living with me.  When she got here I drug
a Hallicrafters R-274D military radio with bunches of tubes, I think it
is a sx-88 but not sure.  Anyway I have the schematic and alignment
data, so I went through it, every tube, every electrolitic, and
alignment, It worked great, she was able to listen to home almost every
night with a 50 foot longwire antenna.

For christmas I bought her a Radio Shack dx75 I think, it was on sell
for $75.  I gave it to her and explained she could use it when she got
back home to listen to english and keep her skills up as well as get
news from the US.  It had a little whip antenna, and only tuned 5 khz
increments.  She came in that night, Dad, Listen, it was radio
Paraguay, coming in better with the little whip, than on the
hallicrafters.  I don't know if this is consistant, but that little
portable out performed my hallicrafters, my Stromburg Carlson 5 tuber,
my zenith Shutter dial, as well as my Radio Shack DX-300.

Did I go out and buy a new portable, no, I enjoy the old stuff, so if
you enjoy using the old stuff, use it, but if you are after DX and rare
stations, I would recommend buying a high end like the Drake R8a.

Have fun.  BTW you may want to post this on the Boatanchors group as
well.

I use 2 shortwave sets. A 1988 Realistic DX440 & a 1944 British Military
R107. The DX440 covers 150kHz to 30MHz, the R107 1150kHz to 17MHz. The
main use the DX440 gets is tuning to the oscillator of whichever
domestic valve set I happen to be aligning.

The "Dirty Sand" set produces far more internal noise than the valve
set. If I want to listen to a shortwave station I'll choose the 1944 set
before the 1988 set every time.

I have the same nostalgic attraction to my Hallicrafters S-53.  Today's
digital radios make listening and finding DX alot easier.

If I were you, I'd buy an inexpensive portable (Grundig or Sony) for
serious listening and fix up the old radios for fun.

Good Luck,

John, KB2YJH

  Well, I won't speak for him, but as someone who *agrees* with him, I'll
simply quote what may well become the third law (motto) of the Tar Heel
Scanner/Shortwave Listeners Group:

  More radios is always the best solution.  :-)

  My most recent acquisition was an heavy, monsterous and wonderful EAC
R-390A, and I also have a Hammarlund HQ-180C and a Zenith T-O of the tube
genre, but I still want and use a Sony 2010, a Yupiteru MVT-7100 and a
Kenwood TS-940 (ham transceiver with general coverage receive).

  Each of these has its own charms, and of course I "need" them all. :-)

I am using an old Heathkit SW-717.  I'm seriously considering the Sony 2010.
Any comments on it's performance, or a good price and site to purchase it
from?

Or more likely not. Radios seldom go out of alignment. The tendency
to diddle the alignment should be resisted unless you know for sure
that someone has been in there diddling it earlier. If the radio
appears to have subpar performance, it is almost certainly because a
component has changed value (often an electrolytic or paper capacitor
or a screen resistor) or a tube has lost emission. The correct repair
is to replace the faulty component. Trimmer capacitors and slug tuned
coils don't usually change value unless someone has been in there
diddling them. If someone has, then that can mask the real problem
and make servicing the radio correctly much harder than necessary.

wonder if the 3-500z is possible to use. he also need schematic for
qb4/1100  (socket configuration and power specs.) He would like to know
if the 3-500z is a possible replacement. And would also like to know
about any possible replacement tubes. Or even better compatible tubes
with a higher power rating.

Well, lemme see here [as he adjusts his head so the
sunlight doesn't blind him as it reflects off of his trusty
bi-focals...]

The switch on the left (or Driver's Side here in the People's
Republic of California) locks out the keypad from fumbling
fingers when whisking the radio up to your ear to see if that
last call was for you.

The switch in the center, the little three position jewel,
has to do with how/where the radio stops when in the
"scan" mode.  Left-most will stop on "clear" channels,
center position causes it to stop on "manual", what the
hell ever _that_ is supposed to be good for, and right-most
position will stop when it detects a "busy" channel.

"Busy" or "clear", as used in the aboce context seem to
be pretty much the same as squelch open or closed.

The little switch on the right (Passenger's Side here in
the People's Republic of California - "Bed and Breakfast
for ALL!") sets the frequency step for the scanner - leftmost
for 25 KC steps, and rightmost for 50 KC steps.

Best of luck.

Anybody care to share their high power mobile experiences ?

Right now I have an IC-706 and a Screwdriver antenna in my 1996 Blazer.  I've
been giving some thought to adding SGC's 500 watt amplifier.  (With a second
battery next to the amplifier).

The 100 watt level doesn't affect the vehicle, but I wonder about what might
happen with those 500 watt rf peaks.  I plan on using the extra power on 40m
and 75m, so ther ERP will be considerably less than on 10m.  But there is all
kinds of RF loop possibilities inside the vehicle potentially setting off the
airbag or, worse yet, making my FM band radio switch to oldies stations.

Then there is also the concern of the repeated exposure to higher RF levels.
(I spend a lot of time on the road, and this is where I do 99% of my radio
operating).  I know that there are plenty of old-timers that give you the
"I've been in ham radio ever since I helped Marconi put up his antennaes, and
the RF hasn't had any effect on me".  At the same time, I know plenty of
people that have done acid countless times over several decades and they make
similiar claims.  The ones that have contrary experience tend not to be around

to offer a desenting opinion.

from Zambia via the HF radio if possible. Is there any - fairly easy - way to
accomplish this? He is not yet an expert in HAM radio. What kinf of equipment
would be necessary? Could the TS-50 be used to accomplish this? Any comments

Sorry to read about your bad experience at HRO. Unfortunately, he isn't
the only jerk in CO. Most of the people here that feel that way also
migrated here from another state. Worse, their predjudice is mostly
unwarranted.

I live north of Denver and I haven't been to the Denver store. After
reading your posting, I'll know what to watch for. For what it's worth I
moved here from CA in 1968 and no one ever said anything derogatory about
my moving here.

Hmmm... I was in Denver about four weeks ago and I stopped in to see the
HRO store (I had bought things from them by mail before).  The salesman
who greeted my HAS a "5" call himself, with a little cast aluminum plate
on the sales counter.  He seemed pleased to meet another "5er", and he
was very nice to me (so were the other two or three guys I chatted with
while I was there).  Incidentally, I never once mentioned that I'd spent
thousands of dollars with them (which might conceivably make someone be
artificially nice to a customer).  These guys are ALWAYS friendly.

It's true that Colorado natives don't like Texans much, but NO ONE was
ever rude to me the entire time I was in Colorado.  I had on my North
Texas Mustang Club jacket, and a lot of people asked if I was from D/FW
area, but NO ONE was rude.  Especially the HRO guys!

Let me get this right, the guy is asking to transmit OUTSIDE the
amateur bands, and you are telling him to get a real amateur radio????
Does this make sense???? Do you understand the term amateur????

I would suspect the correct answer would be to get a type accepted
commercial radio for the frequency he wished to (and were licensed to)
transmit.

      Why does everybody want to modify their new radio to transmit out of
band as soon as they get it home ?  If you have a ligitimate need to
transmit out of the ham bands, buy a type accepted commercial radio.

      A couple of years ago, a ham in my area transmitted a call on the
local fire / rescue frequency to report a car fire.  He did this from his
home, within easy access of a telephone.  He was using an HT modified to
transmit out of band.  Unfortunately for him, he was observed doing this
and was arrested by one of our fire marshalls on a charge of reckless
endangerment because he knowingly obstructed emergency communications (and
prevented a medic unit from obtaining a radio patch for medical orders by
tying up the radio system with his unautyhorized traffic.)

      I do not know what the final outcome was, but I have heard that a
plea bargain was entered, substantial fines levied, and the offending gear
destroyed.

      In short, unless you are specifically licensed and authorized for a
specific frequency (public safety or otherwise), stay off of it.

Just a random rant.....

I believe this is the reason 99% of the time. This "mods" thing has
gotten out of control.  A few people may have a legal need to work out
of band, but IMHO,  "mods" are done  for the sheer law breaking fun of
it.

He is just stating the facts.

Even if one could come up with a lame excuse as to why they need the tx
capabilities out of the ham bands they still cannot use the radio there
because it is not type accepted.

Joe
The 212 and 242 are both very capable rigs with superior resistance to
intermod. This is due to the lack of the "super wide receive" found in
other rigs.

While it is true that most hams do the out-of-band TX mods "because they
can", there are some very legitimate reasons why I have done so on a
few of my radios - all legal!

* Icom's views of the ham bands are different than the FCCs.  I had to
  do the mod on both my 24AT and 3230 to transmit in the 430-440 part
  of the band (satellites, our repeater's control link...)
* Driving transverters - Since the ham bands are not always exact multiples
  of each other, you may need to go beyond the band edge (or even somewhere
  way out of the ham bands) to drive the transverter.  If the base freq
  doesn't escape, it is legal, since all you are transmitting with is the
  transverter's output
* As a signal generator or test source in the screen room at work - again,
  there is no leakage...

And of course, I do use the out of band RX capabilities often...

This still does not change the fact that ham radios are NOT TYPE ACCEPTED
on ANY freq outside the ham bands and should not be used as radios there.
(usual exceptions for life-threatening emergencies and MARS...)

Too light for a boatanchor. Add a few bricks.
That's the main problem with all this newfangled equipment. Too light.
And too small, too! I believe they should charge by the pound for radio
equipment. Much more equitable.

I have bought, traded and sold numerous rigs over the past several years
Kenwood, Yaesu, Ten-Tec, Icom and JRC and overall consider this my favorite
radio of the group. I like the layout of the radio (position and location
of the knobs buttons), the looks, the 200 watt output, automatic notch,
solid tight receiver (very very important) and simply the way it operates.
I have recently used a Ten-Tec Omni 6, Japan Radio Jrc-245, Kenwood TS-870,
ICOM 781 and Yaesu 1000MP and perfer the 775DSP over all the above
mentioned rigs and yes there are some functions I maybe like on the other
rigs; However this one I want to take home to MOMMA.  You hear people talk
about DSP and all the settings one has over the other or how much easier
ones DSP settings are  to set vs. the other but once you get tired of
playing with the new TOY (dsp)  and you have the settings to your liking
you should not have to reset them often or again. The only disadvantage I
see over the 1000MP or the TS-870 is price and the ability to operate with
a battery.

I would certainly add the TS-870 to your evaluations. IMHO, it has the
best receiver of the lot. Personally, I think the FT-1000MP is a little
too loaded up with bells and whistles and the TS-870 has it about right
in that department.

As always, YMMV.

Rolfe,

With all due respect, I would not rule out looking at the JST245.  I think the
870 is a fine rig, particularly the one you have, however I have found the 245
 rcvr
really sounds better.  I will admit, it doesn't have all the bells and whistle
s, but
certainly should be considered when one is considering such an expensive purch
ase.

Remove bottom of radio cover.

Verify D-139 is not present.

Cross band repeat:
Set the desired freq.,tone and offset on both bands.
Press [VHF] and [UHF] and the [SET] key at the same time (an L will appear on
the display).
For zero hang time, also press the [LOW] key with the above mentioned 3 keys.

To exit cross band repeat: Press [SET].

To enable receive on all available frequencies: cut jumper W-18.

For extended transmitt ranges: contact Icom.

Hi,

Heard yesterday on the local repeater that ICOM is coming out with the
IC-708, a rig that will cover from
160 meters to 70 cm.  Has anyone else heard anything about a rig like
this?  If it is just a little larger than the
706 that will really sew up the market for them.

Has anyone actually had or seen the rumored depletion problem
caused by the death of the internal Lithium cell which stores
all the radio's programs and parameters?  Originally, they
were rumored to have a 5-year or so lifetime, but I've owned one for
just ages, and never encountered the problem.  Is it an urban myth?
And what do Icom charge these days if it DOES happen?  And does Jack
Albert still provide an upgrade board?

Does anyone know how to reset the CPU on the ICOM W21AT.  I've added
the one resistor required for wide band recieve and transmit, as well
as performed the key board operation to open up the wide band recieve
mode.  However, now how do I get the radio back into the normal band
recieve mode.  I think I probably need to reset the CPU.  Any help is
appreciated.  Thanks

Are there any other keyboard mods that open the receive up?

I used one that opened RX 50 - 299  and 400 - 999 for display but does
not receive on all freq.  Any help?

What about hardware mods?

I had the same question not long ago and got this answer - and it works:


------------------------snip--------------------------------------------



Ok, after messing around with the radio on my own and then getting the
"official" mod, here's a summary of the various diode mods for the Z1A:

Icom Z1A mods

[B]+[#]+[POWER] = Extended Receive.
                  VFO *DISPLAYS* 50-299.900 and 300-999.900.
                  AM Aircraft band enabled.
                  SET mode now has a new "PLACE" function for setting
                    the direct entry starting digit.

There is room for four diodes in the Z1A located on the CPU board to the
left
of the ribbon cable connector.  On a US version, only the bottom two are
installed.  D15 is just below and to the right of the four diodes.
These
diodes are bigger than the rest of the surface mounted components and
are easy
to spot.
The official ICOM mod (which I unofficially saw...) is to remove D15 for
extended TX and to use the above keyboard mod for extended receive.
According
to the sheet, the 800-900 band is NOT available in US versions.

     +-+  +-+
     | |  | |  <---- Installing diodes in either of these seems to do
     +-+  +-+        nothing.

     +-+  +-+
     | |  | |  <---- IN: US Version 144-148 TX 440-450 TX
     +-+  +-+       OUT: Extended   136-174 TX 380-470 TX (Lose

      ^                                                    and tone
encode)
      |
      +------------  IN: US         144-148 TX 440-450 TX
                    OUT: European   144-148 TX 430-440 TX

               +-+
     "D15"-->  | | <---- IN: US Version Stock
               +-+      OUT: Extended TX 136-174 380-470 (keeps
auto-repeater
                                                          and tone
encode)

A word of warning about messing with the four diode pads:  If you detach
either one of the installed diodes, the CPU will reset and you'll lose
ALL of
your memories. (found that out the hard way...)  D15 doesn't seem to
affect
the memories at all.

Since the 800MHz band is not available in US versions, my guess is that
there's a keyboard mod to unlock it instead of a diode.  The diodes only
seem
to control the country versions.  If anyone has any more keyboard mods,
please
post them.

To receive 800Mhz, you need to add 2 SMD (part 9110 from Icom)
to the underside of the F2 Board. It involves taking the
unit almost completely apart.

The service manual illustrates how to disassemble the unit.

Regards.

Hi.

   I have a friend who swears up and down that the length of the
coaxial cable to maintain resonance at a given frequency is important
for reducing the SWR.  He feels that it acts in a similar principal to
the fact that the elements of an antenna must be cut to the correct
length for the antenna to be resonant at a given frequency.

   It seems to me I have also read somewhere that this is a myth.  I
need the true scoop on this.  I'm preparing to put up a pretty good
antenna system on my roof (a homebrew 10 meter antenna cut to exactly
the middle of the band), and don't want to purchase an extra 6 ft of
Belden 9913 coax only to have it looped up and losing signal, when in
reality I could of used 20 feet instead of 26 feet of cable.

   Please carbon copy any responses to this post to [e-mail]
so I don't miss any good info.

                        Thanks

                            Jim

The length of coax doesn't change the VSWR, assuming it's all the same
impedance. However, the impedance at the transmitter output will be a
function of cable length if the VSWR is not 1:1.  Ultimately what
matters is not the VSWR, but the impedance match to the transmitter.
All that is required is a conjugate match so that the transmitter sees
a resistive load of the right resistance at the output device.

There is one way that the coax length affects VSWT. If the attenuation
is high the VSWR gets better with length. Someone once said a good low
power load for 144 MHz is 100 ft of RG-58. It doesn't matter too much
what's on the far end.

Ok, this can get complex because there are several interrelated
things happening here. Lets take them one at a time.

The only thing that determines SWR on a transmission line is
the ratio of the characteristic impedance of the line to the
impedance presented by *the load*. Nothing you can do at the
generator end can affect SWR, and changing the length of the
cable won't change SWR either (but see below).

However, changing the length of the line will change the impedance
presented to the generator. That's because a transmission line with
any SWR other than 1:1 acts as a transmission line transformer. By
changing the length of the line, you get an effect similar to, but
not quite the same as, changing the turns ratio of a transformer.
The SWR doesn't change, but the impedance presented to the generator
does. This can be useful, and is employed frequently for impedance
matching purposes. The most common such is the quarter wave matching
section.

In general, the impedance transformation will be complex, IE it will
be in the form of R+jX, where X can be capacitive or inductive depending
on cable length. The Smith Chart can be used to determine the transformation
effect by following the constant SWR circle around the chart for different
cable lengths (measured in wavelengths at the frequency of interest) and
reading out the R and X values. Note that the SWR is constant, but the
impedance presented to the generator changes with varying cable length.

Now something else can happen too, and this is where some of the
myths have arisen. If you feed a balanced antenna, such as a dipole,
with an unbalanced transmission line, such as coax, the *outside* of
the outer conductor of the transmission line can become part of one
arm of the dipole, and antenna currents can flow down the outside
of the transmission line.

Picture the dipole as a 1/4-wave section connected to the coax inner
and an L shaped element consisting of the other arm of the dipole and
the *outside* of the coax outer conductor. This can change the *load
impedance* presented to the transmission line because the antenna geometry
has been altered from a physically balanced dipole configuration, and
thus can change the SWR. Changing the coax length changes the effective
length of one leg of the dipole, and that changes the impedance presented
at the load end of the coax, and that changes SWR in the coax.

Coax transmission line currents flow on the outside of the inner
conductor and the inside of the outer conductor. This is because
of skin effect. The physics of coax forces the currents to be
equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The opposite currents
cancel any radiation fields, and the coax doesn't radiate. But that
doesn't affect currents flowing on the outside of the outer conductor.
Those currents are independent of what's happening inside the coax.
Their radiation fields aren't canceled, and the coax becomes a radiating
part of the antenna.

Generally, it is undesirable to have antenna currents flowing on
the outside of the coax because it will alter the radiation pattern
of the antenna, alter its feedpoint impedance, and because it can
cause "hot shack" problems in some cases. The cure is to use a choke
balun at the antenna feedpoint to decouple the outside of the coax
from the antenna element to which the inside of the outer conductor
is connected.  (A choke balun can be simply a few turns of the coax
tightly coiled just before connection to the feedpoint. Or it can
consist of a number of ferrite beads slipped over the coax near
the feedpoint. Its purpose is to act as a high impedance to currents
trying to flow down the *outside* of the coax outer conductor.)

When you use such a balun, or if you are feeding an inherently
unbalanced antenna such as a groundplane mounted vertical, then
the coax doesn't become part of the antenna, so it can't change
the load impedance presented to the coax, and thus can't change
SWR. Any length coax can now be used without affecting SWR, or
antenna radiation pattern.

So you can see, there is some truth to the myth that coax length
can alter SWR, but it isn't quite the way many amateurs picture
it. The reason it can happen is because the coax has become an
unintended part of the antenna due to a failure to properly deal
with the unbalanced to balanced connection at the antenna feedpoint
with a balun.

In general, the correct length of coax for an HF antenna is the
distance it takes to get from the transmitter to the antenna.  Don't
worry about length.

Good point, Gary. I hadn't thought of that, but it makes a lot of
sense. Most of the systems I deal with have a resonant cavity load fed
with rigid coax where there is no chance of any rf currents on the
outside. (A good thing too, at 250 kW peak and 425 MHz.)

 Well,
 Let's if I can do this reply. Yes, It's a myth! The only thing that's changin
g is the
 APPARENT XL-XC that the METER is seeing. We all know that the Electrical
 wavelength recurrs at a different distance than the phusical wavelength. The
old
 velocity factor trick affects that (cheaper coax = lower VF). So, the loss is

 cumulative to the length, the SWR associated with the coax = myth.

 If you want to play with the numbers of length, coax type, swr, ant gain, and
 effective power. Download TEEREV.ZIP from the ARRL BBS, or it's on the latest
 level of the QRZ CD-ROM.

                                                          Jim WD9AHF

 P.S. I agree with the guy who said the correct length is what reaches! Just m
ake
 sure that you look at what it costs. I wrote that TEEREV program to see what
 the tradeoff was between good coax vs an amplifier. You will be surprised at
 what the cost of 'cheap' coax is.

Hi Joel, got to nitpick a tad.

1. 100ft of RG-58 on 440MHz with an SWR of 1:1 and *no feedline radiation*
does make a difference.

2. 100ft of RG-58 on 28MHz with an SWR of 20:1 and *no feedline radiation*
does make a difference.

Jim
If the coax is matched (ie the load presents a resistive, 50 Ohm
impedance) then the length of the coax is unimportant, except that it
has loss depending on how good it is and the operating frequency. If
the load is not matched properly then there will be different
impedances at different  points aliong the coax and you will get a
different SWR with a 50 ohm source, depending on where you feed the
coax. So your friend is correct if the load is not m,atched
accurately.

I agree with your comment on common mode currents. Also, with your
comment about the directional coupler. What it really amounts to is
that if the coupler has poor directivity (equivalent to not being
balanced for the impedance of the cable being used), some of the
forward wave is coupled into the reflected port. The resultant
apparent reflected signal depends on the relative phases of the
forward and reflected power and thus on the position of the coupler in
the standing wave. This phenomenon can also make the VSWR look better
than it really is if the two waves tend to cancel.

This discussion is a good example of the Internet at work. It's nice
to see that the ham radio newsgroup generally seems to be populated by
considerate people and not the nutcakes that wase bandwidth on a
couple of other newsgroups I follow.

Your right, I'd much rather have 75 ohm 1" hardline WITH VSWR than 50
ohm RG-58 at 450 Mhz.

Again I'd rather have 75 ohm cable TV hardline .5" than RG-58.
Cecil is right, the general rule is get what you can for the lowest
loss.  Hgh VSWR adds a LOT of loss to an already losssy cable.

No, the SWR is constant, and is a function of the mismatch at the
load end only. That constant SWR is what causes the presented
impedance variation along the line (due to transmission line
transformer action). If you insert the SWR meter anywhere along
the line, it will read the same SWR (discounting line loss). A
SWR meter reads SWR, not impedance.

Internally, a SWR meter is a 50 ohm line section, so it merely
acts as a short extension to the cable being measured. (If you
try to measure 75 ohm line with a 50 ohm SWR meter, however,
you'll be in for some surprises.)

Conversely, if you have an operating impedance bridge, you can
measure the impedance at any point along the line, and given
that, the cable length from the load to that point, and a Smith
Chart, you can determine the SWR on the line (discounting line
loss).

Now if the line has loss, and all real lines do, then you have
to add a fourth variable, and the system becomes more complex.
Instead of a constant SWR circle on the Smith Chart, now you have
to follow a SWR spiral which approaches 1:1 as cable length tends
toward infinity. The approach is asymptotic, and if cable loss is
high, will quickly approach 1:1, but never quite reaches 1:1. If
loss is low, the approach will be very gradual, and for moderate
line lengths can be assumed to be a constant SWR circle.

(Incidently, this is a convienent way to measure line loss,
just place a short or open at the load end of the cable and
read the SWR at the source end, the closer to 1:1 it is, the
higher the cable loss. There's a formula in the Handbook which
will give you the exact loss in db for a given SWR and line
length.)

For moderate lengths of good cable at HF (good cable, not RG-58),
cable loss can be discounted and the SWR circle can be assumed
nearly constant. At VHF+ however, even with good cables loss may
become significant when the length exceeds several wavelengths
and must be considered when analyzing line behavior.

This means that a low SWR is not necessarily a good thing. It
can indicate a lossy system rather than indicating a good match.
One way to differentiate is to look at the SWR curve over a band
of frequencies. If it is broad and flat, the cable is probably
lossy (or you have a dummy load for a termination). Real antennas
are typically only close to design impedance over a narrow frequency
range (typically less than 5% around the design frequency), so the
SWR curve should quickly rise as it moves away from the center
frequency of that range. Anyone who says he has a broad flat SWR
is probably really telling you he has a pretty good dummy load
for an antenna system.

(Note there are exceptions, antennas such as discones and log
periodics present a near constant impedance over a large frequency
excursion. But in general a low antenna system Q is indicative of
low efficiency and high loss, IE the behavior of a dummy load.)

ARRL currently has a program under development which analyzes transmission
line.  I'm fortunate to have been asked to play with an early copy.
Running some quick examples shows the following:

At 28 MHz an antenna with a purely resistive load of 50 ohms fed with 100
feet of RG213 has a loss of 1.181 dB.  There is no additional loss due to
SWR.

The same antenna fed with 100 feed of 1/2 inch 75 ohm hard line has a loss
of .420 dB due to the cable and an additional .032 dB due to the SWR for a
total loss of .452 dB.

An antenna with a purely resistive load of 500 ohms (10/1 SWR) fed with
RG213 has a loss of 1.181 due to the cable and an additional 2.702 dB due
to the SWR for a total loss of 3.883 dB.

The same antenna fed with 1/2 inch  75 ohm hard line has a loss of .420 DB
due to the cable and an additional .032 dB due to SWR for a total loss of
452 dB.

Incidentally, I chose purely resistive loads just to simplify things.  The
program works with complex loads as well.  If anyone would like a specific
calculation you can eMail me.  All that is needed is the type cable, the
length of the cable, the frequency and the load, (resistive and
inductive).

You'll see a .7 db/100'  to .9db/100' increase in attenuation
going to RG8foam . WOW , BIG LOSS ( NOT)
  Stick to radiation pattern adjustments , not splitting hairs
over coax.
  Read "amatuer radio vert' antenna handbook" By CAPT Paul H.Lee

altavoz: You dont need to cut in 1/2 wave multiples
since it wont change the SWR except thru a very small
increase due to decreasing attenuation over length.
H.F. has very low attenuation on RG8

altavoz: No, a 50 ohm ant' feeding a 75ohm coax will
cause a SWR into coax and towards the radio and an exact
length of coax will not reduce the SWR except as
attenuation factor over that length.

I've had a couple of requests for examples directly addressing the length
of coax question:

At 28 MHz an antenna with an impedance of 70R +4J fed with 11.597 feet of
RG213(1/2 wave length at 28 MHz) has an impedance at the input of 69.28R
+3.76J.  Virtually identical to the load, but even a halfwave of cable
does have some transforming characteristics due to it's loses.  TLA
computes the SWR at load as 1.41/1 and at the input as 1.40/1.

The same antenna fed with 5.798 feet of RG213 (1/4 wave length at 28MHz)
has an impedance at the load of 35.77R -2.35J.  An obvious transformation
of the impedance, however, the SWR is still 1.41/1.

If you feed the antenna with 1/2 wave of PERFECT COAX,(NO LOSSES) TLA
computes the impedance at input as 70.02R + 3.79J (The difference between
this and 70R and 4J can be attributed to rounding.)

altavoz: I get 271 "1/4 wavelengths" and that makes it an ODD multiple
of 1/4w and therefore it will radiate cause the open end of the coax
will see a short on the outside end of the coax at the radio end.
.66 VF RG58 , assuming a high SWR at load and 1:1 at radio.

> 2. 100ft of RG-58 on 28MHz with an SWR of 20:1 and *no feedline radiation*

altavoz: The diff we're talking of is trimming the line and in your
case trimming the line will increase the RF ( feedline radiation)
on the outside of the coax By pulling down the Z seen on the outside
by the antenna . Trimming 1/4w will peak the FEEDLINE RADIATION.

altavoz: You're assuming a choke . The thread makes more sense
if you dont assume a choke ( i went all the way back to JOEL
GAMBLEs post)


I think he's saying a 440 signal into RG58 is a 1:1 NO MATTER
WHAT cause it's 100 feet long and that means it could be an
open circuit . I think he tried to get one past us by making
us assume that there was a termination .
  Anyway the way to kill it is BALUN,steel wool, ferrite,
cut coax to a particular length ( narrow BW), or offset feed
the antenna ( bal ant has an unbal' point where you can hook
coax, and pattern does not suffer ).
  What i find amasing is so many novices worry about the
match , but not the radiation pattern . You can match
anything, even a 1/2w by stretching it a little to bring
down the R and that 2nd lobe is too small to hurt .
  Radiation pattern on a J pole is bad but has a nice
stub to match it....so build a 5/8w using that stub to match
it. Problem is the standard way ( "L" )is just as simple.
  Thanks for correcting my sloppy thinking, 73's

Wrong O buddy boy.

An electrical 1/2 of coax is a tried and true method of mesuring
the SWR at the antenna feed point remotely for exactly that reason.
Its totally invisible to the remote test gear. If you doubt it try it!

You two are talking about different things. Sure, the SWR on
the cable will not be unity, but if you cut the cable to an
electrical halfwave (or multiple), you *don't care* because
the impedance seen by the source is a repetition of the
impedance presented by the load. The source doesn't care
about SWR on the cable, it only cares that it sees the
correct impedance presented to it.

In the case of a 100 ohm load and a 50 ohm source, an electrical
1/4-wave of 75 ohm cable will transform the load impedance to
50 ohms at the source end of the cable. The source will be happy,
the load will be happy, and we'll be real happy there is SWR on
the cable, because it is this SWR which makes the transformation
happen. A "high" SWR isn't always bad, in fact it can be downright
useful at times.

There's an important issue that has not been mentioned.
If your SWR is 1:1, coax length is unimportant.
If it's not, then the impedance looking into the coax is a function
of the length.  Draw a (constant SWR) circle on a Smith Chart.  As you
change length,
you move around that circle.  As long as your transmiter can match
any impedance on the circle, you're OK.  With a high SWR or with a
modern no-tune rig, you might find that the rig behaves significantly
differently depending on the coax length.  SWR doesn't change, but
the matching network required to drive the coax sure does.

Having said that, I suggest you put your effort into making the antenna
1:1 rather than messing with the coax length.

In a matched sytstem, the coax length does not matter except for a small
amount of loss.  I think the confusion comes from the way most of us
amateurs measure SWR.  We actually measure VSWR, or VOLTAGE Standing
Wave Ratio.  We could as easily measure Current SWR, but not so easily
as our sampled lines and schottky diode peak detectors.  If we "tune" and
antenna for 1:1 vswr with a given length of coax, and than at some time
in the future, add coax, we may find that the VSWR (and Current SWR)
have changed.  However, if we had "tuned" the system to be 1:1 ALL
ALONG the line, no change would be indicated when we at some future
time changed the line length.  What is going on here is IMPEDANCE
TRANSFORMATION.  If we measured POWER instead of voltage or current SWR,
we would find NO CONFLICT.  Indeed, the SWR would remain the same along
the line whether we are matched to the system impedance or not.  Note
that even the popular Bird Watt Meters and their derivatives actually
measure PEAK RF VOLTAGE, but are calibrated in power, so you are not
getting a correct power measurement in an unmatched system.  To get a
PROPER measurement of power you must measure BOTH voltage and current at
the same place on the line and take the product of the two.  If the
voltage goes up, the current will drop accordingly.  If the voltage
decreases, the current will increase accordingly such that the
PRODUCT of voltage and current is always the same - the coaxial
line can't change the power of a wave in the line or we would
have a perpetual motion (RF producing) machine! ! ! !   You better
patent it QUICKLY! ! ! !

Something to think about:  What does a half-wave length of line do to
the reactive part of the impedance?  The answer may help understand how
a VSWR meter (voltage) can indicate more our than in.
Hint: Can you build a resonate circuit for a VFO with ONLY variable
capacitors and half wavelengths of transmission line?

I have a ITC instruments model SA-500 spectrum analyzer scope adapter,
and I'm trying to install the companion tracking generator module inside.
Unfortunately the documentation is insufficient (references a wire that
doesn't exist inside the unit, with no other info to go on) so if you
have this combo could you tell me where the wire connecting the tracking
generator module is attached to the main unit's electronics?

Thanx,

Hello Mike,

i bought the JST 245 about 1 1/2 year ago. During this time frame
i got 3 firmware updates because of the tx-delay for amtor and pactor.

I know only 2 mods for this trx:

1) enable the tx for total frequency coverage:
   push the 50MHz button during power on and wait until you hear
   3 beeps. This mod will be stored for all time.

2) calibration of the carrier frequency
   push FUNC and LSB/USB


If you have additional informations, please let me know.

I'm about to connect a Kantronics KAM+ to my Icom 706.  I'm looking for any
hints on wiring and operation.  I've been using packet on VHF for several
years, but this will be my first attempt at HF digital.

One question off the top:  Which filter is best for digital.  The 706 has a
"RTTY" filter for that mode, of course.  Is that usable for the other
digital modes as well?

Thanks and 73,

Hi!
A suggestion: try to find a QSK1500 pin diode switch. It was sold in
1984-1985-1986 and it worked very well.

Just picked up a Kenwood R-1000.  Not very much documentation
came with the radio since it was given to the previous owner
by a neighbor.  Any comments on the radio or place I can check on
the net for its particulars. Any Mods worth looking into? Can it
be Computer Controlled?   Would I want to?

                Thanks

I was hoping someone out there could tell me what the contacts on the
bottom of the Kenwood battery packs for the TH79a were for.  I know that
it's for the rapid charger, and I know that one is obviously positive
and the other is negative.  Is the third for a thermistor for battery
temp when charging?  I want to make a rapid charger for the battery, and
needed some info on this.  Thanks in advance for any responses.

Phil,

I have two.  One for voice, one for packet.  They work great.  Use
Dejanews to look thru old usenet postings.  There was a thread on here
about display problems and such.  You should be able to look up all the
comments.  Use the powersearch feature, and toggle the criteria to
'old'.

I have bought this MFJ antenna a while ago,  and although it does the job,
the mechanical construction is not great. I also had to change the size of
the internal coupling loop (larger) to get a proper VSWR over the band. The
manual doesn't mention this at all.
It also has quite a lot of backlash in the gearings. It is difficult to
tune (although not impossible)
Another problem that I had is that a spider ended up between the variable
capacitor plates, because the plastic case isn't sealed. So when I started
to transmit, the spider got toasted, creating a "carbon short" between the
plates. I had to remove the antenna from the roof to fix this problem.
On photos that I have seen, the ISOLOOP looks more sealed, so I would
expect it to be better for this aspect as well.


If I would have to do it all over again, I would now buy the ISALOOP from
AEA.
Cost about $150 more but it has a stepper motor with almost zero backlash,
and is built much more rigid and there is a provision to  change the
coupling between the main loop and the input loop during the installation,
for optimal VSWR.

So you might want to ask for a used ISOLOOP instead, I have seen some
people offering them in the past for very decent prices.
there is also an optional  fully automatic tuner available for the ISOLOOP.
The MFJ loop you can get with an optional semi-automatic tuner (I have that
option) but because of the backlash in the gearings you will have to
manually finetune it after it found the coarse settings.

I have to be complete in my advice though; if you accept all the
deficiencies that the MFJ loop has, like I described them above, the
electrical antenna performance for the MFJ loop won't be different from the
AEA ISOLOOP.

Howdy,

I'm looking for an inexpensive portable receiver for use as a
"casual" 2nd rx -- something to sit next to my easy chair for
monitoring 80, 40, and 20.  I use a Sony 2001 for this
purpose right now, and while it's a good sensitive unit, the
pushbutton digital tuning is really annoying.

I notice that both MFJ and Ten-Tec sell competitive knob-tuned
super-regens that will cover the freqs I want.  Both about the
same price; the MFJ can be had in kit or wired, while the
Ten-Tec comes only in kit form.

Does anybody have experience with either of these units for
monitoring the ham bands, as opposed to using them for SWL?
If you've built the kits, how did it go?

Thanks and 73,

Rich

Hi Dave--

To answer your question about the new MFJ 40-15 meter loop, I'm afraid I
can't be of much assistance--I haven't had the opportunity to see or try
one yet.  Like you, the only information I have is what appeared in
Novemeber QST.  I work off-site in NH, so I don't always know what
projects other groups are working on.  I'm sure there will be reviews in
the near future.

Has anyone ever used the MFJ-418 code tutor?  I am a new tech and
want to upgrade.  This sounds like it would be a good way to learn...very
portable.

If anyone has any experience with this unit...I would love to hear about
it.

Harvey, the HW101 has no lack of drive when everything is "ok".
Check and see if your two "O" ring belts are slipping.  I saw one HW-101
where they were deteriorated and loose and the separate capacitors were
no longer tracking together. That condition really threw off the
pre-selector and driver peaking.

Just FYI, I had the mod done, and lost the third row of the keypad. A
trace was broken that requires replacement of the control board ($180
for the part, $100/hr for labor, 2 hours.). I even talked to a friend
after the fact who does solder work, and worked for NASA and said she
wouldn't do the mod, too small, too easy to FUBAR the radio.

And here's the other side of the story.
I have no electronic background other than cable tv and this is
what i did ......
I used a very sharp Exacto Blade Knife and the just LIFTED Right Off.
It makes you wonder what ever kept them on the board in the 1st place.

As a follow up...
I finnally got thru to Motorola and they quoted the manual and said it
will tune to 450-470 MHz with a spread of 6.5 MHz.  So has anyone
tried to program this thing below 450???

Again TIA,

The UHF Mostars are programmed with a "special" RIB box known as a MIB
(Mostar Interface Box). I have programmed several, but, the UHF version
will only program (using Motosoftware) to either 447 or 449, I can't
remember which. I have looked at tricking the archive to allow a lower
freq without any luck. They are not a bad little radio, just haven't been
able to use them anywhere but the commercial band. Good GMRS (CB) radio
for someone though.

I have owned this Kenwood TS-700SP multi mode two metre band transceiver since
new in 1980. In the last year or so the mute will not activate unless I turn t
he
R.F. gain down. This problem last for about an hour or two, and I beleive is p
robably
temperature dependent. After the set has warmed it operates normally and the R
.F. gain
can be returned to max.

Help needed.

1/ If anyone has experienced similar I would appreciate a comment and possible
 repair
suggestions.

2/ If anyone could help me out with the schematic of the TS-700 transceiver.

Hello and thanks for reading,

I am looking for an existing design for a downconverter, to go
from 1500-2000 mhz down to approx. 200 mhz.  (ie. L-band to VHF).

Info on magazine articles, kits, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I couldn't agree more than this last line you wrote.  IMHO, the
average price of equipment in ham business is way too high compared to
the that of computer stuffs in terms of value or what it can do.  This
prohibits a lot of newcommers from going into this  hobby. I , for
one, got a tech license and couldn't afford a 1200 baud modem and dual
band mobile radio yet. OTOH, I am connected to the world in Internet
through a $120 28.8K modem.

The difference in prices between computer gear and amateur gear is
there because of the numbers of users. (thousands of Hams versus
millions of computer people.) IMHO.

I'd hate to sound like well, an economist, but I think it's called
economies of scale. I have been in computers since the late seventies
and the price of equipment has come down dramatically as the market gets
bigger and bigger (lower average cost of producing each unit, real
important when a big chunk of the total cost is in research and setup).

With all that said, I still agree with you both. I have been out of ham
radio for about 20 years and am thinking about coming back in. It seemed
cheaper for me as a 15 year old with a newspaper route than as an adult
with a decent job (as an economist). Prices have skyrocketed.

Well of course you can have a 1200 baud modem for $10. Just buy a
TCM3105 single chip modem and wire it up. Better hurry though, the
Bell 202 chips are going out of production fast.

One can sum up the reason for "high" amateur equipment prices in
one word, *volume*. According to a recent issue of Byte magazine,
there are approximately 35 million individuals in the US who own
PCs, and almost all of them want the fastest modem they can get.
Meanwhile, there are about 140,000 amateur radio operators who
operate digital modes, and most of them seem satisfied with their
old C64 and TNC1. What that means is that annual sales of 28.8 kb
telco modems is in the 5-7 million unit range while the annual
sales of TNCs is in the 5-10 thousand range. That factor of 1,000
in production volume makes a huge difference in retail pricing.

Amateur dealers sure aren't getting rich. Margins are about 7%
in amateur gear. Margins in consumer electronics are typically
closer to 50%. And the manufacturers aren't getting rich either.
The low unit volume means that they have to spread their overhead
over fewer units, and that drives up unit prices. For manufacturers
who cater exclusively to the amateur market, the low volume also
means they can't get the large volume price breaks from their
suppliers that makers of mass market items can get. This also
drives up prices, often dramatically.

The lesson which can be drawn from all of this is that if you want
equipment priced like computer equipment, you've got to get amateur
radio growing fast enough to bring the economies of scale to bear.
If the amateur market were buying equipment in sufficient quantity
to break the million unit a year barrier, prices would tumble sharply.

However, considering that amateur radio is a low volume specialty
market, prices are still lower today than at any time in the past
if you factor in inflation. In 1967, a good quality HF transceiver
cost about $500 (the Galaxy V Mk II was $495). Accounting for
inflation, that's $4,000 in 1996 dollarettes. Yet you can buy a
good quality HF rig for about $1,000 today (DX70, TS50, IC706),
and that's about 3,000 1996 dollarettes cheaper than in 1967.

Take home pay for the average worker in 1967 was about $120 a week.
Today it is over $400 a week. So it cost about a month's wages to
buy a HF transceiver in 1967, and it still does. But today's radio
has lots more features. By contrast, a top of the line full size
Chevy cost $3,400 in 1967. Today a Chevy Caprice costs around $30,000.
In other words, the 1967 Chevy cost about 6 month's take home pay,
but the new Chevy costs about a year and a half's take home pay today.
And IMHO, the 67 Chevy was a better car.

Note well that take home pay hasn't kept pace with inflation,
and that represents a huge hidden tax. There are other, somewhat
less well hidden, taxes at work here as well. The Jack Daniels
Distillery says a quart of Black Jack costs $0.25 plus tax (and
cigarettes cost about $0.12 a pack plus tax). GM says that $30,000
Caprice actually costs $600 plus tax. The taxes are all taxes paid
all the way back to extracting the raw materials out of the ground
and passed forward until they reach the consumer. If there are many
steps between the raw material and the consumer, the net taxation
compounds rapidly (which is why US manufactured goods are no longer
competitive, but our raw materials and agricultural products are,
there are fewer steps where the government can get its hand in the
till in the latter).

Only individuals pay taxes, corporations merely collect taxes for
the government, passing the expense on to the consumer in the form
of higher prices (which are nothing but hidden taxes). Think about
that the next time a politician says he wants to give you a break
by "soaking the rich corporations". He's lying. Of course that should
be obvious because his lips are moving. (BTW this is a good reason
why we should go to a direct national sales tax. That way the hidden
taxes would become visible to those who ultimately pay all taxes,
and would show them just how badly they are being raped by the
government when they go into the auto showroom to buy that $600
car and find out there's $29,400 in sales taxes tacked onto it.)

I agree with you Butch.  And ham radio retailers probably run a very narrow
profit margin.  The problems I see is that we need to promote amateur
radio, especially to young people.  Hard to convince them with 1200 baud
packet (with 300 baud through put if you're lucky) compared to 28.8k
Internet access.  Also hard to convince them that they need to learn the
code to communicate around the world.

IMO, this is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) problem in
Amateur Radio today. The service will die without a large influx of
young people comming in. BUT, as you said, they aren't going to be too
enthused with the oxcart speed of packet radio or the prospect of
spending time learning to be 19th century telegraph operators.

I cannot say I agree with the remark that prices for hamgear have
skyrocketed.

Anyone that writes this doesn't know what almost identical equipment for
the professional market costs.

I have collected lots of professional stuff, from SITOR units to
transceivers, and I am stunned to see time-and-again how a $2000 Japanese
transceiver can outperform a professional transceiver in every aspect.

Also, a cheap PK232 on Amtor (=SITOR) turns out to work about 300% better
than a  professional SITOR couterpart, not just in terms of the user
interface, but mostly in terms of sensitivity and bit-error-rate.

It is a mystery to me how the remaining manufacturers of HAM equipment can
come up with such good, and relatively inexpensive equipment for such a
small market segment that the HAM market obviously is.

Most US communication equipment manufacturers have dropped-out of the ham
market for that reason some years ago (why produce a transceiver for the
ham market for about $2000 while the same transceiver with a different
front panel sells for at least 4 times more as a marine radio)

My simple FT990 transceiver outperforms all professional transceivers  that
I have here, and it is not even a top-of-the-line radio.
This FT990 is built with modular glass-epoxy plug-in cards on a
motherboard, just like professional equipment.  Even has a direct-digital
synthesizer.
And you can get this radio for less than $2000 if you shop around.
Unbelievable how they can make it for that money.

Not to talk about new digital modes like PACTORII and Clover. These modes
are so good that even the professional user market segment is considering
to use these modes, which means it is placed it in a more professional
looking 19" rack and sell it for 10 times as much.

HAM equipment expensive nowadays?  NONSENSE! Has never been cheaper!

(No, I am NOT a dealer. Just a radio ham that appreciates nice equipment)

I have an idea.  We could all BUILD our own amateure equipment.  Like
those old radio guys, what were they called?, Bacons or Hams or something
like that.  Excuse me, my cellular phones are ringing.

Seriously, with the schematics to a modern TNC and some old junked
600/1200 baud obsolete modems (big corporations throw em out by the
hundreds) one could have some fun.  Which is (at least part of)  what Ham
radio  is about?

As an economist, you should know that any comparison of this sort needs
to be done in constant dollars. Go back and see what a Collins S-Line
cost in 1966. Then look up what the cost of a top of the line
transceiver such as the Yaesu FT-1000MP plus accessories costs today. Do
the math and then tell me that prices have skyrocketed.

Adjust for 20 years of inflation, and I think you'll find today's
prices are actually lower in real purchasing power.

Astron has a couple of new switching supplies.
One is good for 20 amps continuous, 25 amps intermittant. The other is
25 amp continuous, and I think 35 intermittant. $129.95 and $149.95.
I have not seen these advertized yet.
I went to A.E.S. yesterday to buy an antenna, and ended up buying the 20
amp model. It is about the same size as my Icom 706. It is very light,
and would make a nice supply for portable opperation.
Has a thermostatically controlled fan on the back.
I put my radio on a dummy load at 100 watts, and it took probably a
minute befor the fan came on. The fan is very quiet, and the supply did
not feel very warm to the touch.
Very nice unit!

This is a newbie question - please be patient!!

Radio Shack/Realistic PRO-25 scanner has sensitivity specifications of
20dB S/N with 60% modulation, 3kHz deviation for FM, 0.6uV in 137-174MHz.

What do each of these figures mean in terms of what it can receive, and
the quality of reception and audio output? How do these figures compare
to other portable and base-station scanners? If I want better
reception/audio quality, would it make much difference to go for another
make or price bracket?

Listening to VHF/UHF transmissions, the audio quality is not high, not as
good as commercial broadcast FM. Is this due to bandwidth? Using Xandi
Electronics' miniature crystal-controlled transmitter (143.775MHz) to
transmit conversation to the scanner, the end result is not as clear as
it could be. Would a different transmitter/scanner combination give
better clarity, or would a different technology be necessary for improved
fidelity?

3kc deviation is the normal allocated bandwidth for an FM voice
channel.  But on the 100Mc FM band, where fidelity is x times more
important than communications, the bandwidth per station is 150kc
(plus/minus, depending on the country, etc)

All comes down to horses for courses.  You want fidelity or
communications
that don't take up a lot of space in the limited spectrum
available.  That's why most FM handhelds, etc have a
LIMITED BANDWIDTH  of 3kc.  Human voice seldom goes above that,
so the limit is set there.  FM music however goes much higher,
not to mention a 19kc stereo pilot reference, SCA (hidden
channels for elevator music) and actually has two channels
(left/right) matrixed together.

Even as high as the 1200Mc ham band, voice is limited to
3kc, just not to be wasting spectrum.

If I recall, the expanded receive function of the ft-50 is covered in the
owner's manual. I "think" that expanded RX is hold down LAMP, PTT and then
power up the FT-50. Then after powering up, pressing the knob down several
times should show the different bands, 144, 222, 300, 430, 800. The 'normal' R
X
would only show 2 bands 144, 430.
(I may be wrong on the buttons to hold down. The correct buttons should be in
the manual so look there first.)

AFAIK cellular phones can call the emergency number even when
disabled (without chip-card). So keep one in the car for
emergency use.

The IMTS stuff have a duplexer in them. In the days before dual
band radios, folks built mini-mobile repeaters, or low power
cross-band things. Good for 25 watts.

Cell phones seem to be too much trouble to do much with as they are
microprocessor controlled, synthesized, and most of the RF circuits are
rather narrowly tuned.

I presume the Motorola is a Pulsar model?  I remember hearing of someone
who
converted one of those into a REPEATER by retuning the duplexer, modifying
the PLLs and by replacing the supervisory board with a premade repeater
controller.  Since the manuals for these phones were (are?) available the
task was possible within a reasonable amount of time.  The Pulsars had
decent receivers and transmitters, but stay away from the older IMTS phones
(the ones with the huge discrete component supervisory board that swings up
for service) as their transmitters were prone to failure if the SWR got out
of hand (like ice on the antenna).


Good luck!

PS, the duplexers can be a pain to retune.

Actually the helicopter in Portland Oregon uses a diection microwave link
to transmit it's TV and FLIR (Yes, KGW has FLIR-Incredible but true)
They even have a big website about the helicopter including the type of
microwave link

They probably bought the equipment at a bargain-basement price from some
military electronics contractor whose main business is drying up due to
budged cuts.  I'm sure the development of this stuff was paid for by the
military, it would be far too expensive for someone to develop just for
the commercial market.

I would like to work packet on Mir and any others that are local to me here in

Colorado.  I bought an Icom IC-2000H and it has a modular microphone connector
 on it.
I have 2 questions:

1.  Does anyone have the mic. pin outs for the IC-2000?
2.  What hardware should I buy? (I would like to stay under $300)

Thanks,

   I recommend getting an MFJ TNC/Mic switch box, around $40 and a KPC-3
around $120.

        I use a KPC-3 for packet on my IC-2000H.  The KPC-3 I got used
for $75 and works like a champ.  There is a command that allows the
KPC-3 to operate with squelch open.  The pin outs for the IC-2000H are
in the manual but in case you do not have it.....

        1.   +8V DC output
        2.  Frequency up/down
        3.  AF detector output
        4.  PTT
        5.  GND (Microphone ground)
        6.  MIC  (Microphone input)
        7.  GND
        8.  NC (No connection)

I have a number of Cellwave rubber ducky antennas for sale, most with
unusual frequency ranges and/or connectors. Most are for sale at 10$
each. These are new, never used, but without packaging as they were demos
for a trade show. Please e-mail me if you are intersted at
[e-mail]

Some of the frequency ranges are:

821 Cellular, full band (tx/rx - 870)
806 Trunking, full band (tx/rx - 850)
406-420 UHF
118 VHF Air

Many are with BNC connectors, also some with SMA, some with threaded
Motorola type, etc. There are about a dozen in total. Also, some are
stubby types, some are full half wave whips, and some of the
trunking/cellular ones are the hi gain type.

I have an HTX-212 out of warranty that continues to blow one of the TX/RX
diodes only in HIGH power mode. The schematic is at home so I don't know the
reference designator, but it is the diode near the antenna that has a 100 ohm
resistor in series to ground. Its purpose is to shunt transmit power away from

the receiver circuitry. The first time the diode blew it and the 100
ohm resistor burned a hole in the PCB. I have cleaned the carbon almost
completely away as I know it can conduct.

 I have used exact replacement parts for the diode, 100 ohm and a sticklead
001 cap. The .001 gets hot and eventually the diode smokes. It takes about 20
seconds for the smoke to start. With a SWR/Power meter I can see that I am
transmitting about 50W and SWR is a little high at 1:1.4. At the diode, the DC

bias is 7.2v which, according to the schematic and service manual, is correct.

I do not have an RF meter but I suspect it is RF power that smokes the diode.
(DC bias is the same in low power but no smoke.)

What else should I look at? Could high levels of harmonics off the output
transistor cause this problem?

Help is appreciated. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Please e-mail my home address: [e-mail]

Roger

Optoelectronics makes the DC440 that decodes CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF.  Visit
them at http://www.optoelectronics.com/

Note: to decode CTCSS reliably, you will need to connect this device to
the flat audio (discriminator) output of your radio, NOT the speaker output.
The CTCSS tones are generally filtered from the speaker output.

Also, if you have a CTCSS decoder in your mobile radio, just enable it and
rotate thru the selections until your receiver opens -- you've found what
they transmit, and usually what you need to transmit.  One of the mobile
radio mfrs makes a radio with a button that'll do this automatically
for you.

The htx-242 is a very nice radio.  It includes ctcss tone encode and
decode, and many other features.  I have been using one for about 2 months

I have a Raytheon "Smartuner" model AC 152. It is similar to the SCG
Smartuner except it needs a Raytheon radio to tell it what the frequency
is. Has anyone figured out how to use this tuner with a standard amateur
radio?

Thanks for your help.

Not necessarily.  If it's in a flying helicopter, it would be quite
expensive to have an antenna on some type of motorized platform which
would keep it aimed at the home base while in flight.  IMO, it would be
more practical just to broadcast the signal omnidirectionally.

Nope, they are directional antennas and they are microwave. A number of
companies manufacture them with radomes over the antenna though, so you
cant see the moving parts. On the tower, usually the broadcast tower, the
receive antenna also tracks the helicopter. Its quite a complex system
with control equipment that keeps the two antennas aligned.

Your thinking of the Radio broadcast. Or perhaps the tv audio from the
cameraman is sent on the 450 frequencies. All the video is up in the M/W
portion.

 Yes Practical Wireless Oct 95 did a review and had good things to say.
 As a user, I say if you want a good, practical handheld, you won't go

Looking for any pin out or specifications on a Gates mic; it looks
exactly like a EV664 case with the Gates i.d. plate, has four pins out
and is marked 300 ohms.  I am wondering if perhaps has internal
transformer and provides other output impedance choices.  Thanks!

        I'm looking for some information on some ideas for a 2 meter
antenna. My call is N3XZX.  I basically recieved a homebrewed antenna from a
gentleman in Atlantic City.  I liked the idea and tend to build a few
myself.  It's just a plain old ground plain antenna,  The one i recieved was
a quarter wave and i was wondering if there was any ideas and info for
making the same type but creating a 5/8 wave.
        I heard for a 5/8 you need to have a top hat, is this true? Also any
info on whether this 5/8 is a good antenna comparing it to the quarter wave.
 Any info would be greatly appreciated!
                                Thanks,

altavoz: No hat required for 5/8 w. A 5/8w is much better for vert'
omni directional than 1/4w . Same coil for 1/4w but tapped a little
different . Radials must be 180 degrees, straight down, with
"wiskers" ( going down 1/4w from feed point, some 1/4w radials at
45 degree angle...they form a cone ).
  A hat on 5/8 w will effect the pattern , try it.
For more gain, put a hairpin ( <1/4w shorted stub) on top of 5/8 then
another 5/8w vert on top of that . Or the whole ant' a 5/4w and a
colinear stub pointing down ( open end down , at the 5/8 w point)
Coax up thru "tube" Radial system.

Hi,

I'm looking for a pointer to find plans or a circuit diagram to build a
radio reciever for particular spot frequencies.

Ideally I would like to recieve in FM mode and at a varying range of
frequencies but starting with something around 137Mhz would be good.

If anyone has any clues where I can find info like this please post.

david.

There is no legal use of a 706 on CB, no matter what the power setting is.

Hi Chuck,

But in fairness we should also point out that the ONLY thing that makes a
newsgroup a valid concept is keeping the data withing that group inside
the guidelines.

Again, consider how chotic any group would be if even a small percentage
of the subscribers used the group incorrectly. For example,  AES, HRO,
Radio Shack, MCM, Newark, Mouser, Digi-Key, and MFJ all have catalogs, and
90% of the people on newsgroups in the world have something to sell.

The only thing that keeps them from using discussion newsgroups to
incorrectly post "for sale" items is common sense, responsible behavior,
and peer pressure.

Thank goodness most people and businesses are responsable, or internet
would be useless.

I get the impression that the Alinco ad is a one shot deal, and not
the inventory (day-to-day) of a shop, My understanding is that a ham,
or group thereof, is trying to put together a deal where these can be
offered at a good price. Also, rec. radio. swap is not under the
heading of rec. radio.amatuer in a lot of newsreaders, so with the
equipment in the title is could be an easy stretch to assume that this
is the place to advertise amatuer only equipment, especially if one
looks into rec. readio.swap and sees the mountain of commercial gear.
I don't think that it is a matter of inconsideracy or ignorance as
much as an honest error, not worthy of flames. Perhaps, with the
millions of new net users each day, a posting of the groups charter
from time to time would help.

I agree with your point, but was only showing a "lighter side" to the
issue.  Another problem might be that I have been reading this group
for some time now and have not come across a charter or anything else
that shows the "rules".  I know that ignorance is no excuse, but most
people probably don't know where to get the charter, myself included.
If it was posted on a regular basis, maybe people would know the rules
and follow them.  You also have to understand that a lot of people do
not even know that Newsgroups even *have* charters and that there are
rules to follow.  Posting it once a week might help out.

No one was flaming them, any more than it is flaming if someone points out
driving down the wrong side of a road is dangerous and that part of using
a car is learmning the rules.

If everyone with something for sale on a one shot basis used this
newsgroup even once as a media for free advertisments, it would be useless
for anything else.

I do think posting the FAQ list is an excellent idea, a copy should
automatically be sent to anyone accessing this group. That was a great
idea.

There are other groups that automatically send out the FAQ and Charter
whenever someone posts for the first time.  This is *extremely*
helpful so you don't violate the rule for the group.  Who can be
contacted or what is the process for doing this?

Hallo dear friends!

I have a problem with my TS140S. If it is not used for about 1 or 2
weeks, and I turn it on, the display is dark or showing nonsense and
the transceiver is not to be influenced by the keys.. If I wait some
minutes, it works suddenly 100%. If I use it the next day, it runs OK.
The difficulties are only there, if the TS140S is not used for some
days.
The CMOS battery is OK, RESET doesn┤t help, because it doesn┤t react
on pressing the keys.

Can you help me?????

my e-mail:  [e-mail]

Thank you and good luck

Hi, Jim, ling time no see!

I've heard a JUICY rumour that HRO is considering opening new stores in
the next couple of years, and Dallas is one of the locations that they
may be considering.  THIS IS ONLY A RUMOUR at this time... but it would
be nice if they did!

Hi all.  I hope someone here can help me out.  My parents bought a house
that has a TV antenna on the roof.  The antenna has an amp at the top of
mast, but the guy who sold the house took the power supply.    The amp is
either an ARMACO or ARCHER, I can't remember which, but the model number
is 801-0292.  Does anyone here have a schematic for the power supply or
know what the voltage would be?  Please e-mail, my newsgroups are not
too reliable.

Thanks.

I don't have the cellular mod for the BC8500XLT but I have recently
found an old newsgroup message from someone name Jon who claims to have
a mod to enter out of band frequencies on the 8500 between 25 to 1300 MHz
including the blocked out 800 MHz parts. He claims to have already
modified two BC8500XLT scanners. The message only talks about the mod
but does not include it.

I don't have this person's e-mail address but he goes on to say that
he will be contacting Popular Communications to see if they will mention
it in an up comming issue.

What I would like to see if someone has all the Popular Communications
between 1993 to 1996 and check in several places that it might be, like
the scanner column or letters area. Assuming that he contacted them and they
published it.

If someone does find it, knows of a similar mod or knows of this person
please E-mail me.

I've had a BC100XLT, BC200XLT, and BC205XLT, and know the part
in question.  Two screws fasten the spring to the bottom of
the BC100XLT.

The service manual for the BC200XLT doesn't show
a picture of the spring.  My best guess is that the spring
corresponds to the following part from the the 200XLT parts list:

Would any reasonable person expect anything more lucid from the FCC or
any other government department/spokesperson?

It is fun and does make more sense than 99% of the QRN I read on this

I recently noticed an ad for the "MFJ-9420" 20 meter SSB transciever
for $219.  It piqued my interest.  Sure, it only transmits and receives
on 20M with SSB, but it's simplicity attracts me.  It might make a great
second rig.

Anybody have any more info on it?  Anybody got one that likes it or dislikes
it?

Anybody got one for sale used?  Any information on it would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.

I have had one for several years now, and I don't see anything that I
would replace it with. The Icom 706 is like the TS50, not enough
adjustments on the front panel. I like the way my rig operates, I love the
display and peak reading meter. It works great as a base/mobile unit. If
you hae something specific you would like comment on, please let me know.

A friend of mine would like to experiment with the diminuitive FT 900.

However, he would appreciate hearing any comments from any of you who have
used the rig about how it performed.  Since he doesn't have Intenet
access, I volunteered to query the newsgroup.

Any comments, pro, con or indifferent?

Thanks in advance.

There are no mods except for changing the bandplan to the USA version
via the diodes visible when the faceplate is off and the access door is
also off. The most you will get from this rig is rx and tx from
144-148mhz. There is no ability to receive out of this range.

I'm not sure you have your numbers right.  The R-5000 is very similar to
the TS-440S.  Is that what you were getting at?

>>Should I take the test for technician class or novice class?
>>When I get my license what radio should I get?

 What is Ham Radio, and How do I get started?
 - A short introduction by Hans Brakob, K0HB

Here on HamNet we frequently see messages asking for more information
about the hobby, and how to get started. This file is a VERY brief
attempt to explain the hobby and give some pointers on where to get
more information.  Almost certainly I won't answer all your questions,
so feel free to ask for help on the forum.  Hams are famous for their
eagerness to help newcomers.

(First I have to explain something you might not have realized. In
doing so, I'm going to paraphrase something written by Steve Ford,
WB8IMY, in his introduction to a book entitled "The ARRL Operating
Manual". Steve, by the way is a regular here on Hamnet. He acts as
the ARRL HQ representative.)

In case you didn't know, belief in magic is a necessary requirement
for all Amateur Radio operators. Of course, you won't see a question
concerning magic or metaphysics on the test you take to obtain your
license, but in your heart you will come to believe in that powerful,
intangible force.

All of us in the hobby have felt its influence at one time or another.
Some night when the band is dead as a doornail you'll be tuning
aimlessly, not expecting to hear a single signal because NOTHING could
be coming through at that hour. But then, rising out of the noise like
a ghost, there will be a faint call from another stalwart explorer
thousands of miles distant.  You pounce, establish contact and both of
you marvel at the fact that the conversation is taking place at all.
A few minutes later, however, the signal vanishes as quickly as it
came.  Your rational mind will shrug it off as a quirk of propagation,
but that little tingle in your gut will tell you otherwise.

If you could travel back in time to, say, 1294 AD, you'd probably be
burned at the nearest stake for even suggesting that two human beings
could communicate with each other over great distances without a
physical connection.  No doubt they would accuse you of dabbling in
magic -- and they'd be right!

As Amateur Radio operators, we work feats of magic every day.  Many
of us have become jaded about our powers and we tend to dismiss them
as commonplace.  We hardly think twice when we use our equipment to
summon the elemental forces of the universe. But every so often we
need to pause and remind ourselves of what we are really doing. We
need to remember the essence of what drew us to our unusual avocation
in the first place: the wonderful magic of wireless communications.

So how can YOU become a magician?

First, you need to prepare to obtain a Magicians License. The Federal
Communications Commission calls them Amateur Radio Operator Licenses,
and they come in 5 "classes".

There are two "entry class" licenses, namely the Novice and Technician
class.  These two classes of license are designed to give the newcomer
access to a number of frequency bands without a too-strenuous exam.

The Novice class gives the widest range of frequencies, and will be
attractive to folks with a desire to talk to "distant" places.  The
written test is the simplest of all the tests, and the examination
also requires you to be able to copy Morse code at 5 words per minute.
This license will also give you access to some "local" bands, but not
as many as the Technician class.

The Technician class license, as the name implies, is aimed more at
folks with a technical bent (you don't have to be an electrical
engineer though).  The written test is a bit more difficult, but you
don't need to know Morse code for this license.  The frequency bands
for this license give you more "local" communications, although if you
wish, you CAN take the Morse test, in which case you will also get
access to the "worldwide" bands the same as the Novice class.

The next three classes of license are General, Advanced, and Extra.
These three classes have access to portions of all amateur bands, with
progressively more difficult exams, and requirements for copying
faster Morse code (13, 13, and 20 words per minute respectively).

To prepare for the exams you will need some study material and more
information about classes, examination points (the exams are given
by volunteer Hams in your community), and clubs in your area.  A
number of organizations will be more than willing to help.  One such
organization is the American Radio Relay League.  Write them at:

  ARRL, 225 Main Street, Newington, CT  06111

or call them at 1-800-32NEWHAM.

Ask for their "newcomers" package.  It will include more detailed
information, a list of classes and clubs in your area, and a list of
scheduled examinations in your area also.

(Continued from previous message)

If you are near a Radio Shack store, go there and ask for a book
entitled "Now You're Talking".  This book is also available from the
ARRL.  It contains all the information you need, including study
material and sample questions for the examinations for Novice and
Technician licenses.

Good luck, and welcome to the "magical" hobby.

Bill,

I've got one good as new, in box, with power supply, t.v. adapter, etc.
Also have joystick, some game cartridges, and the big thick manual that
has schematics, etc. I never got any method for storing programs before
I got another computer, so it really is good as new.  Make an offer.
I'm in North Carolina.

I am looking for an HT Dual Band.  These two radio's (Yaesu 51R &
Kenwood 79A(D) are the ones that I am strongly
considering purchasing right now.  If anyone would like to comment
on which one they
feel is the superior of the two, or comment on any problems that
have been
encountered with either of the two, it would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking for comments from ordinary people that own and like
their radio.  I am
mainly intrested in basic use, travel, scanning, etc.

Thank you

I have a Yaesu 757 GX and it has a problem with frequency stability.

From time to time the frequency being received (or transmitted) will
change by about 300 Hz up or down.  Often it will return to its
previous value after a time which may be short or long.  It makes it
quite difficult to listen to a specific frequency and very annoying to
people listing to my transmissions!

I have not been able to find anything that will make it do this frequency
change on demand.  It will do it warm or cold, on any of the bands and
transmitting or receiving.

Does anyone know of any 'standard' problems that might have symptoms like this
?

I will check this newsgroup from time to time but would appreciate direct
email as then I am certain to see it.

John.

 Dear hammates,

  It appears to me that Yeasu's VX-10 http://www.yaesu.com/vertex/vx10.html
 is just about the same rig as FT-50R is - except the 8-chars A/N display and
 the firmware inside! So, it should be possible to equip FT-50R with voice
 encryption and all that other fine stuff which comes with the VX-10... Anybod
y
 knows how to do this elfish trick? I will also greatly appreciate if someone
 gives me email address to Yeasu - on their HPage there's no such thing.
  Thanks much!

Why would you want encryption capability?? As far as I remember, you
cannot use encryption on ham frequencies.

Someday soon I hope. I've got money to spend on on a good mobile

I have an FT 900 AT, not the CAT, but I really like this radio. I shopped
around for a long time before I bought this one. I like the way the
display works, especially the peak reading meter. CW is great with this
rig. I can't find any real big gripes, but then I compared it with
everything out there that I could, so I felt it made the best rig for me.
If you have anything specific you want me to comment on, let me know. 73

I use an ICOM AT120 automatic antenna tuner with an ICOM M600 marine
SSB for shipboard communication.  Now that I have my general class
licence, I want to connect an ICOM 735 to the tuner but have run into
many problems.  Apparently ICOM made a unit to do this which was
called an AH2. The AH2 was a controller interface plus the AT120.
ICOM has discontinued making the AH2 and does not even have a
schematic of the controller.  Basically, the controller started the
AT120 and also sent a signal to the 735 to automatically reduce output
power to 10 watts (on Accessory 2 connector) during the tune cycle.

Hopefully, someone out there will have solved this problem.  Thanks
and 73,

I have this problem.  The radio will lose (or get confused?) with
its memory channels.  Also, the displayed digits will blank out but
the rest of the radio will function just fine.

My way of fixing the problem?
Turn off the radio and turn it back on.  The problem will normally
be fixed.

I am just too lazy in opening the box up and try to replace
the batter myself (or to investigate the fix for it) simply because
I use it only once in a while.

I know I need to put myself together and restore its health...
Yeah...  Maybe tomorrow...  I have the thing for over 7 years now
and it had already been used for quite some time before I bought
it from a local ham.  The problem has been around for over 3 years
but it just doesn't bother me.  :)

I called Yaesu and asked if you _could_ put the VX keypad in the TF-50.
They told me that the conectors were in different places; they keypand
would not fit into the 50.  But I infered that they were compatable none

I forget where I read it (maybe in the rapid charger documentation) but
the terminals are coded for charge rate and voltage; the configuration of
the terminals tell the charger what parameters to use when charging the
battery.

I've been remiss in posting the results when I asked that question; I apologiz
e.

I got many pro-Yaesu responses; I was quite interested to see what
everybody thought.  In the end, I actually ended up getting neither; I got
an ICOM W32A, mostly after handling it and the Yaesu, and finding I could
operate the thing more easily (the buttons are spaced a little better for
me, that sort of thing...).  They had pretty much equivalent features,
which eased the process somewhat.  That said, I reallly enjoyed what I saw
of the Yaesu, and the Kenwood just didn't hold my interest me when I
played with it.  (On the down side of the Kenwood that was pointed out to
me at the store was that although it's backlit, the keys aren't lit!).

I've had my Icom for about a month now and I love it.  I'd recommend it to
anyone that asked, but without real time with the Yaesu, I don't feel
comfortable making claims that it's better or worse.  But it fits me well.

Anyways, here's what other folks had to say:

And the responses I got were:
Ray,

I own the 79A, but would like to have the 51R. Two things are important
to me:

  the 51R is can be computer controlled
  the 51r has a speaker mike that is backlit and shows frequency

I will say that my 79A's dual volume controls are quite nice to have.

Good luck and 73.

I have an FT50, two friends of mine have FT50s as well. I bought the
FT50 first thing after owning and FT40 for awhile.

The FT40 was a great HT, very intermod resistant. The FT50 is still a
good HT, but the squeltch does open in some RF dense environments.

My gripes with the FT50:

Need to get the FTT12 keypad to do PL decode, I really like PL
decode. PL decode is very sensitive, so if you are listening to a
noisy signal which has the wrong PL (and should therefor keep the
radio quiet) the squeltch breaks on occasion when the noise crosses
the PL. Most other HTs I've had have had some debounce for this.

No Mac/Linux programming software available. A general gripe with me
for most ham stuff.

SMA connector, tho I'm pretty used to this, so it's no big deal.

No backlit keypad, but the keypad, as well as the whole radio, is very
rugged.

Goofy speaker-mic plug, can't find connector for it, but Yaesu makes
an adapter.

Otherwise it's a GREAT HT. Great audio, great features, great
accessories (it's derived from a commercial line) such as a drop in
slow charger ($20) which I thought was a good alternitive to the more
expensive fast chargers. The HT is easy to use, built well (Mil spec
and all that) and just feels good in my hand, espically with the RH-1
rubber protector. I've never liked Kenwood stuff, just a personal
prefrence. The FT50 is as close to commercial gear as you can get in
the ham world yet still has some very good features. Plus the FT50 was
pretty well priced last I checked.

Feel free to ask any questions!

Hi Ray,

I would not recommend the TH-79A since the batteries will usually fall
out and it has a lot less features..

The FT-50R or FT-51R (Yaesu) have Windows PC programming, DC voltage
readout, CTCSS tone search, 4+ power levels and much more features....

Yaesu has much more features..

Good Luck !!! and 73's,

Kevin

------

PLEASE do not buy Kenwood the following list is radios in a 8 year
period that had to be
sent in for service.
TS-850
79A
77A X 2
741A
631
450S
TK330 X 2
AND A CD PLAYER AND CAR STEREO DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE KENWOOD SERVICE
SUCKS SO BAD THERE
IS NO WORD ON EARTH THAT CAN BE USED.

Buy Icom or Yaesu Standard the product is good and super service!

This comment partly answered a question I have been meaning to ask.  Not
every
reason to want an out of band radio is a "Lame Excuse".  I am a licenced
Amature
radio operator N1WGD.  I am also a licensed Emergency Medical Technician
who
volunteers for two rescue corps each with its own frequency.  This often
leaves me
with three radios handy.  It would be very nice and convienent if I
could have one radio
that would transmit and Rx both the 2m ham band and the 155 Mhz Public
Safety band as well.

I was going to ask if there was a model/brand of HT that has good
performance on the 2m band
but still can be modified to have decent performance out of band as
well.  I could purchase a
VFO type commercial HT and a separate 2m HT but it would be
prohibitively expensive.  If I
understand your comment quoted above properly, even if I get an HT that
can operate out of
band it would not be legal for technical reasons?  Any comments would be
helpful.

FCC rules forbid the sale of *non-Type Accepted* power amps in that
frequency range. Of course if Ten-Tec wanted to go to the trouble
to get an external amp Type Accepted (as Mirage has done), then there's
no problem. The reason for the Type Acceptance requirement is that
the FCC doesn't want CBers to get hold of amps that are thinly disguised
as amateur amps. To get Type Acceptance, the amp has to meet several
criteria which make it unsuitable for use by CBers. Since most solid
state amplifiers are inherently rather broadband, it takes some clever
design to make them unsuitable for CB use.

RTTY uses the standard SSB filter unless you've installed an optional
narrow filter. If you have the FL-100 500 Hz CW filter installed, it'll
use that when you push NAR. And it repositions it properly too. But note
that RTTY mode really is FSK, not AFSK. You have to key it via the RTTY
keying line, not by feeding AFSK tones into it. There's a menu option
for setting the shift, and whether it is inverting or normal. You have
to get this right for RTTY, 170 Hz shift and normal should work. This
should also work for AMTOR. For Packet you want to change the shift to
200 Hz, keying polarity doesn't matter for packet.

The optional 250 Hz filter is too narrow for data use, and rings too
much for CW (IMHO) so you don't want that one, but the 500 Hz CW filter
works fine for RTTY and AMTOR. It's a tad tight for packet, but it'll
work there too if it's positioned properly. You might want to tweak
IF shift for best response. Note, you can only install *one* optional
filter, and this is the one you want.

Note, I don't know whether the KAM supports direct FSK keying or not,
but the radio does. In RTTY mode you're directly controlling the DDS,
and that's very clean. I suggest you use that rather than running AFSK
if the KAM will let you. Use power set to throttle the radio back to
about 50 watts unless you intend to make only short transmissions in
RTTY (yeah, right, nobody makes short transmissions in RTTY).

If you want to use AFSK, then you have to use LSB mode. NAR in this
mode puts in the SSB narrow filter if you have that installed (remember,
you can only install *one* optional filter). That won't make much
difference for data, however, since it is still much too wide. But
there's a trick. If you install the FL-100 500 Hz CW filter, but
*tell the radio* by initial set menu item 19 that you've installed
the FL-223 narrow SSB filter, it'll let you use the 500 Hz filter for
receive on LSB. You can adjust the IF shift to center the signal in
the filter. If you want to go back to CW or RTTY mode, you have to go
back into the initial set menu and tell the radio it really has the
FL-100 in it, or it won't work right in those modes. This is a kludge,
but if AFSK is all you can do, this is a way to get a narrow filter
in LSB mode.

Be sure to turn off the speech compressor, and set microphone gain
for about 50 watts output.

That's correct, you cannot use an amateur radio in Part 90 service.
That's because the FCC requires those radios to be Type Accepted,
but amateur radios are not Type Accepted. Type Acceptance is a set
of requirements the radio must pass to be allowed to be used on
commercial frequencies. A key feature is that the user can't tune
the radio off his licensed channels. Modified amateur HTs, of
course, let you do that, so they cannot be Type Accepted. There
are a number of other criteria as well, but this is the killer
for using amateur HTs outside the amateur bands.

Now you *can* go the other way. If you get a multi-channel Type
Accepted commercial radio, you can have the radio shop program
any extra channels into the amateur band. This isn't as flexible
as an amateur HT since the number of channels in most commercial
radios is sharply limited, but it is a way to get a favorite
repeater or two and a simplex channel or two into your commercial
radio. Just remember which channel is which. This is legal because
you are licensed for all these channels, and you still can't tune
the radio to a channel for which you are not licensed, so you
haven't voided the radio's Type Acceptance.

If you hunt around, you may find an older Type Accepted radio
which *will* let you program your own frequencies. These are
no longer acceptable as new, but the old ones are grandfathered
in, so you can have the best of both worlds. Be careful, however,
not to program in a channel for which you aren't licensed. The
reason user programming was outlawed was because users were
popping up on channels where they weren't licensed, and that
pissed off the people who were licensed for those channels,
and they raised hell with the FCC.

Hi Gary:

I am using that exact configuration. I wired it for FSK and AFSK using
the accessory plug out the back of the 706. FSK <RTTY> is awesome in
that the filtering is the best. The results have been nothing short
of fantastic. Enjoy!

I want to try a horizontal loop for HF...something that I can load into
with a tuner on 80-10 meters. I have plenty of area to work with so size
of the thing is not a problem. Anyone with advice on the proper design of
these? If memory serves me right, they are cut as full wavelength...not
sure of the feed though if it is suppossed to be balanced or not. I simply
want to try something that will work just a tad better than a G5RV (which
I have used in the past). Any thoughts are appreciated!

I haven't tried listening around 100Mhz. Having looked at the circuit
diagram, I can't see an easy fix other than mving the Xtal to say a
hundred Khz lower. That controller has leads going everywhere. As you
say it is under warranty so Yaesu should fix it. It's certainly a nice
rig . I really gave it a good play on 15 and 10 during last weekends
contest. Much better RX performance than my IC751, especially with the
2khz filters fitted.

Checking the stats for the past 2 days, it looks like the FCC computer
might be busted.  Do you think it could be from them running those
4500 1st day vanity call requests?

I wasn't suggesting that the original poster rule *anything* out. I was
suggesting that he consider the 870 along with the Icom and Yaesu. I
think your suggestion to include the JST245 in the mix is a good one,
even though it isn't as well known as the other three.

Want to give a thumbnail review of your experiences with it so far?

I just bought some VHF High Band GE Mastr II's 100 watt mobile units. We
plan on putting on our repeater frequency for a main and backup repeater.
Has anyone had any experience with doing this? If so any wiring and other
information would be appreciated. Any one have any manuals they could
send a copy of or send me the manual and I will copy and send back.  Also
wanting to modify some of these units for Packet any mods would be
appreciated for that also.  Has any one had experience putting a
synthesizer on one? Would also like to get a test set somewhere for one
of these units.

Recently bought some Motorola Micors that are on High Band. Need
information to convert them to 2 meters any wiring and other information
would be appreciated. Also interested in if any one has had any
experience putting a synthesizer on them. Addresses for Synthesizer kits.

Hello All,
I have purchased the 6 meter converter from Ten-Tec that I want to use with
the Kenwood tr-9130 rig.
The manual states that I can "change a resistor" so I could drive the
converter with a power level up to 10W.
HOWEVER, the TR-9130 wants to put out 10-12 W on ssb (voice peaks) .  How can
I adjust for the 2W variation? I don't want to overload the converter...

 Do I need to build and external attenuator?

What is the easy // rather cost effective solution?

Thanks,
Jason  Baack     N1RWY

    Excellent example here. I fed a triband quad with this method for several
years.
It was the only way I could get a GEM Quad to play with a single 50 ohm coax t
o
three tuned 75 ohm quarter wave stubs.

I can see it now...

Due to computer problems, the lottery for Gate 2 vanity call assignments
will be done manually.  Estimated completion date: March, 1998.

So, are we holding up everyone else's new licenses/callsign changes?
Seems to me that the new licensees should have priority at any rate.

There was an article in QST (1995 or 1996, probably 1995), for low
horizontal loop antennas, design, feeding, and performance.  It was
under the heading of NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence) propagation,
meaning that it was good for local contacts.

Hello,

Has anyone had a chance to try out the new MFJ - 9406x 6m SSB/CW radio?
I read the article from last month's QST about it and just put my order
in two days ago.  I'm just looking to get a start in 6 meters, so I
thought this would be the perfect radio.  I also ordered the CW board
for it, the MFJ - 906 6m antenna tuner, and a CushCraft 6m beam.  I do
have one question though, for 6m SSB/CW work, should the beam be mounted
with the elements in a horizontal or vertical position?  Also, is it
better to angle the beam upwards or leave it flat (my QTH has hills
around it that may interfere with the signal).  Thanks

                                Gary C. Wysocki
                                N2WLS in FN02

I have a DX-70T that I use as a base rig. GREAT radio! Have several DX
contacts with it and an Alpha-Delta B 60' Sloper. Have not used it mobile
yet, so no comments there. One suggestion though, Alinco just came out
with the DX-70TH, 100 watts HF AND 6m. I would purchase it instead of the
DX-70T.

Please, do you can explain me why my TH22's tx power module(PF0310) is
died after i've connected the trans. with an af booster (10W)?
Note that the th22 was supplied (at 12Vcc) by antenna's cable and after
the first push on ptt-button, the power module was died!(of course the booster
 was
connected to a 5/8 antenna with a swr=1-1.2).

Thanks

So far as I can find out, this may not be possible- but it was one of
the changes that RS did when they brought out the HTX-242!!! Maybe one
of the brainiacs out there can compare traces and programming to
figure out a way.

Hello, and thanks for reading my question. I am looking for a signal generator
 for amateur radio use. I came
across a former miltary HP8640B with the 323 option. After examing it I noted
a few items. First, the last
digit in the frequency display is not stable, jumps around, is this normal, or
 a symptom of a common problem.
Second, when using the unit in the FM mode I can not see any modulation presen
t on the output waveform using a
Tek TDS410A scope, is FM modulation easily observable on a scope? Third, what
is the 323 option? Tucker lists
the 323 option as removing the "phase locking". Any ideas, comments, or sugges
tions are welcomed and
appreciated!

I have a IC-735 and the noise blanker in this bloody thing stinks. Are
there any mods that anyone knows of that will improve it? I get banged on
base or mobile, but I can put a 10 meter either online at home or mobile
and its quite. I adjusted the NB inside the radio and all it did was to
distort the incoming signal at around 10 over 9db. I called ICOM and I was
on hold so long I give up. It will cost me about 10 dollars and still got
noise, what a deal huh....
Thank you in advance
Dave

I am seriously considering adding the Icom 821 2m/70 cm all mode rig to my
shack.  Can anyone relate any experiences with this rig?

According to the 1995 ARRL Handbook, it's possible to feed a full wave
loop with coax, no balun, and probably no tuner.  I haven't tired it, but
I'm thinking about a full wave loop for 160.  It's interesting that a
half wave dipole (about 250 feet long) won't fit in by yard, but a full
wave loop might (each leg of a full wave loop would be about 120 feet
long if in a square).  Interesting.

        10 Ways to Optimize Your Effectiveness in Public Service Events
                        by Willam L. Continelli, AB2CA


1)   Make sure your radio is in top operating condition.  Small problems (such
as loose antenna connections, bad microphones, intermittent operation, etc.)
may be just annoying during casual operation, but WILL cause major grief under
the continuous/severe service of net/emergency operation.  If your radio's not
in 100% top shape, buy, beg, or borrow one.

2)   Don't operate your handheld with it hanging on your belt.  Using the
radio while it's strapped to your waist reduces your effective radiated power
by more than 10 dB.  That's a 90% reduction in power!  Hold the radio in your
hand, with the antenna in the clear.

3)   Regarding antennas, those 3" rubber dummy loads may be cute, but you're
throwing away 3-6 dB of power when using one.  (If you're REALLY into math,
compute the loss of a 3" rubber dummy load used on a beltclip).  A telescoping
half-wave has a gain of as much as 10 dB over a 3" rubber duck and a quarter-
wave provides a 4-6 dB improvement.  Even a 12-15" rubber duck will boost your
signal by 3-6 dB over the 3" ones.  Remember that one dB can mean the
difference in whether or not a critical message gets through.

4)   Have charged batteries and spare battery packs!  If you also have a dry
cell battery case, fill it with alkaline batteries.  Make sure you have enough
batteries with you to carry you through, even on high power.

5)   Use headphones or an earphone rather than a speaker/mike.  Most earphones
will plug directly into your HT.  Low cost stereo headphones are widely
available and will work perfectly with your HT using a mono to stereo adapter.
The headphones also have the advantage of concentrating the communications in
your ears, while partially shutting out the outside noise.  Headphones will
also prolong battery life by allowing the radio to operate at lower audio
output.  A speaker/mike is the worst thing you can use--it doesn't cut the
outside noise, it doesn't save batteries, and where is that HT while you're
using the speaker/mike??  (Hint--see #2!)

6)   Speak slowly and clearly when transmitting!  You may take pride in your
ability to run your words together and mumble, but the station on the other
end may be in a noisy environment and may not receive your message.

7)   Check out your ability to use simplex.  Even if the operation is being
conducted on a repeater, there may be "dead spots", the repeater may go down,
or, sad to say, there may be jamming.  Even if you can only work the 2 or 3
stations closest to you, a message can still be relayed.  To maximize your
simplex range, please reread #2 and #3.

8)   Listen to net control and direct all communication through him/her.
Identify your station when calling net control and keep all communications
direct and to the point.

9)   If you must leave the radio or the area to which you have been assigned,
first seek permission and acknowledgement from the net control station, make
your "time off" as short as possible, and check back in with NCS immediately
upon your return.

10)  Project a good image to the non-hams around you that are part of the
event/emergency.  This means acting professionally, using basic hygiene
skills, etc.

I know but why do you want to!  If you are MARS/CAP then you should have no

were no would you?  This makes me wonder what you want the mod for?  E-mail

   It would be rather glib to just say "Neither", but there is a case for
not splashing out the big bucks just yet. You cannot get performance yet
from a DSP based radio that approaches that of the best of the old
analogue generation. The excellent phase response of DSP filtering and
the linearity of DSP detection produce  beautiful-sounding audio, BUT
analogue to digital concerters are not yet commercially available that
can pass the SIMULTANEOUS dynamic range that can be reached by tho old
analogue brigade's best examples.  The result is a new generation of
seductive-sounding radios that can do wonders to clean up signals in
moderate to bad conditions, but which degrade very badly thereafter as
stages before the DSP selectivity get overloaded. The review of the TS870
in RADCOM about a year ago documents this problem fairly well.

The IC775 has the facility to have a lot of analogue filters fitted, like
its predecessor the 765, so it can avoid the problem and work close to
the skirts of very big signals, but the use of the narrow analogue
filters turn it into a 765 to all intents and purposes, and the DSP
clarity is lost.

    If I considered a 765 alongside a 775 both with all filters fitted,
I'd expect that if one could hear and work something, the other could.
Under less than the most demanding conditions, the 775 could switch to a
wider analogue filter and use its DSP selectivity to give a noticably
clearer audio output. On transmit, the dynamic range required is far less
and the DSP radios give noticably cleaner SSB audio.


     Synopsis:

            Wait a few years for equal or better dynamic range DSP ?

            Pick up a 765 cheaply now the trendies are unloading them for
            the new generation radios, and get the same contest scores ?

            Try an Omni ?


   Does this help?


   Cheers

The HP 8640 opt 323 was a lower option HP8640 used by the military. It's
freq counter did not have as many digits, no phase lock, no external
input and came in a heavy yellow metal case, which by the way often
caused these units to over heat. Also the face plate was different and
did not provide as many knobs and switch options.  The last digit does
typically jump around and you won't see FM changing on the scope,
remember your basic electronincs, constant amplitude on FM, changing
freq swing. All and all it is not a bad sig gen for amateur use up to
512 MHZ.  Good luck.

The new Icom IC-756 looks like it has a lot of potential.   The ads
claim that it is a reasonably priced version of the IC-781 behemoth
and it certainly *appears* to be such.  It has a similar large
computer display with spectrum scope but adds IF DSP and 6 meter
access.  On the other hand, it has far fewer knobs and buttons with
many of the features being run from what appear to be nested menus on
the LCD display.

I was thinking of buying a TS-870 or even an 850 but I'm tempted to
hold off.  Does anyone out there have any more info than what appears
above?  I'm specifically interested in pricing information.  The ad on
the back of the new HRO catalogue implies that it will be in the same
range as the IC-736.  Frankly, I can hardly believe this but one never
knows.  Computer technology and flat backlit LCD displays have come
down in price dramatically since the IC-781 was introduced.  I guess
anything is possible.

My manual doesn't show and option 323, so I can't help you there.
It's normal for the *last* digit (if you mean the least significant digit)
of ANY digital device (counters, etc) to "jump around".  And that's what
the display in the 8640B is:  a frequency counter.
Not sure what FM looks like on a scope-I always use a spectrum analyzer
or modulation monitor.

The 8640B is not a pretty good generator for older technology.  Hope
the option 323 doesn't remove the lock mode.  That the 'B' models main
advantage over the 8640A.

good luck,

Hello,
Has anyone with an FT50r been able to get the VC23 Vox headset's VOX to work?
The PTT is fine but we tried a number of FT50Rs and VC23s with no luck
getting anything to xmit with the VOX.
Thanks, 73
Steve

I've certainly heard nothing of the sort. It drives my Ten-Tec Titan
just fine.
It's hard to imagine what they could mean by "problems driving certain
amps." The radio has plenty of output and all the keying and switching
options that any of the modern radios have.

I've seen questions regarding this in all three forums, so I've crossposted.

Very recently picked up a Kenwood TH-79AD(High-Power) handheld.  After searchi
ng
the net for a day, and finding out not much of anything, I decided to
experiment.  I'm sure all of you have been looking.

The serial number (date code) on the radio is 7040-something.  Brand new unit.

Despite what the original author believes(talked with him yesterday), the
published mod for the 79a *DOES* work.  I have a couple suggestions to add
though.

First, the original mod suggests that you remove the ribbon cable.  From the
people who have tried this method, it seems as though they have problems with
their keyboards.  Chances are, the ribbon cable (which incidentally is *really
*
thin) is probably not being put back correctly.  Suggestion #1 - LEAVE THE
RIBBON CABLE ALONE.

Next, There is the MARS/CAP modification that tells you to CUT the green wire.
From what I've seen and heard, you can only do the MARS/CAP modification or
the wideband modification.  In my opinion, unless you need specific access
to 420-438mhz, I'd leave it alone.  I simply did the wideband modification.
I'm not going to repeat(or look up for that matter) what freq's it opens up,
but I'm summarize the results.  EXTENDED RECEIVE AND EXTENDED TRANSMIT.

I talked with an electrical engineer who did surface mount tech work for
Panasonic.   If you don't know what surface mount tech involves, THINK small.
Not just small, tiny tiny tiny.  He used magnifying glasses, special lights,
and even microscopes to work on some units.  It requires special tools.

The people I've talked with have had problems trying to desolder this diodes.
THEY ARE WAY TOO SMALL AND TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.

Now listen, I'm just a regular kid off the street.  I've assembled heathkit
projects, and built little tone generators and the like.  I don't have any
surface mount experience at all.  I certainly don't have the tools or the skil
l.
After talking with this tech, he suggested that I cut the diodes off the board
with an exacto knife.  Didn't have one of those either.  So I used one of
those tiny flat head screwdrivers you buy at Radio Shack.

VERY CAREFULLY, I took the screwdriver and pressed down firmly on the legs
of the diodes.  This literally cut the diode from the leg soldered on the boar
d
This would normally sound hard to do, but remember these legs are a FRACTION
of a millimeter.  After that, I used tweezers to pull the diode off the board.
BTW, the diode is glued to the board, but a firm pull removes it.  I did this
to the two diodes.  I removed both diodes cleanly.  No damage at all to the
PC BOARD.

Put back the four screws, turned on the unit and blam-o.  One modified unit.

Think this is a fluke ?  Think I got lucky ?  Nope.  A friend brought his
79AD(H) over, and he performed the mod exactly the way I had mine.  BOOM,
clean removal, no problems.  No keyboard problems, no iradic operation. Just
a clean uncensored radio.

This is not meant to be a standalone mod.  Use this message as an addendum
to the original modification document.  Its like rel 1.5.  The filename
everywhere is '79a.txt' in the Kenwood directory under mods.  The file
structure is basically setup the same everywhere, whether it be FTP, HTTP, or
gopher.  mods/kenwood/79a.txt.  Searching a web engine like
http://www.altavista.com or http://www.lycos.com or http://www.yahoo.com
will definitely yield results.

Hope this answers any questions.  Thanks to Renegade.

Look in the ARRL Handbook under "Loop Skywire" for a very basic article on the
se
antennas.  The article includes a formula for calculating total length.

This article says you don't need a balun.  A recent article in 73 (February 96
?)
suggested feeding with coax and looping 8 turns, 6" in diameter at the feed po
int to act
as a choke.

Until a week ago my only HF antenna was a horizontal loop cut for 40 meters.
In the span
of two years I worked all 50 states and around 70 countries with this antenna
and 100
watts, mostly CW.  Last weekend I took it down and put up a loop cut for 80 me
ters.  My
only tuner is the one built into my KNWD 450 and it seems to tune the antenna
just fine.

Look for me on Sweepstakes this weekend.

Hi Dave,
        A well-known, well-worthwhile mod is to replace the diodes in
the NB (D31,32 I think) with (preferably matched) hot-carrier diodes.  I
used a pair of MRF701, simply because I had them around.

Great little radio.

Cheers,         73      Steve   NM2Y  /  G3YDV

 I'm hoping someone here can give me a straight answer concerning
people buying and selling over the internet (like radio equipment).
Given that the person you are dealing with doesn't live in your area,
and you cannot make the transaction face-to-face, isn't there a pretty
extreme risk involved of getting screwed? I mean, somehow everyone
always expects the money to be sent, then the goods returned. No one
ever seems to think it ought to be the other way around... has anyone
ever purchased something from someone and actually had it sent to
them? I mean, I'm a little leary about sending a check for $400 to buy
a pig in a poke....comments?

Hi,

I wonder if anyone has (or knows where i can get hold of)
technical information for a Motorola MT700 FM handi.

I've got one of these units at present, it cost me a couple
of pounds at a local car boot sale, it seems to be working fine.
TX is 461.625 / RX is 456.125 with a 110.9Hz tone squelch unit.

I'm interested in converting it down onto my local 70cms repeater
freq. (433.325) and would be grateful if anyone can give me
some info.

Cheers,
Richard

You should be able to remove the antenna with a putty knife by sliding the
putty knife in between the mount and window lifting gently away from the
window without twisting the knife. A second option is to use a knife made
for removing stickers etc from glass (uses a razor blade to lift the
sticker). Sorry I can't be more specific but I have not removed a glass
mount antenna for several years. Hopefully this helps.

The only US manufacturer turning out ham gear with any level of fanciness
is Ten-Tec.  Drake, Collins, and all the others gave up many years ago.
It's too hard to compete with inexpensive Asian labor.  American workers
are mostly unionized, which drives the costs up big-time.  Just look at
the prices of American cars and you'll see what I mean.

Plectron Multiple Control Solid State Tone Decoder:

        For all those interested, I have 6 tone decoder units (model H9
?) manufactured by Plectron Corp. that were used to remotely activate
fire sirens.  They consist of a 46.46 MHz FM reciever that recieves an
audible tone and causes a timer to trip a switch.  They are set up to
discriminate three pairs of tones (must have the right combination of
two tones to function). The tones and timers are adjustible.  The timers
trip a relay and will activate whatever.  They were all working when
taken down but there are no guarantees.  They run off 117 vac which is
stepped down to 12 vdc @ 1.5w via a built in power supply.  Five of
these units are mounted in nice boxes 13" wide X 21" high X 7" deep, the
other has no box.  Each complete unit weighs 32 pounds and comes with
installation instructions.  I imagine that you could strip out the
reciever and use it as a low band monitor (add audio amp).  I'll leave
it up to your imagination as to what you could do with the complete
unit.  I also have 2 encoder units which generate the tones for the
decoders.  One will produce 4 pairs of tones, the other produces about
20.  They would have to be used with your own transmitter.  Any
reasonable offer considered & shipping can be arranged.  First come,
first served.  Any questions e-mail [e-mail].

Thanks!

Hi Tim here...

Got a 1973 Yaesu FT101 with matching FV101 external VFO
for sale. Radio has been well looked after and still has
handbook and original packaging. Radio has 30m, WWV and 11m
bands as well as the usual G3LLL balanced mixer.

It is still delivering good power output with its original
PA valves but will come with a spare set anyway.

At worst it will require a little switch cleaner as it has
not been used for a while.

Offers around 295 ukp for the pair.
Based in Northampton area (M1 junction 15)

VOX on my FT-50R and VC23 works fine.  A bit of a problem when I am
driving and some suicidal bozo turns left in front of me and I exclaim
... something.

Are you saying that when you turn the VOX gain up and speak your radio
simply does not transmit at all, ever?

Since PL is mostly used by the users to enable access to the repeater,
AND many repeaters have PL filters so you cannot hear the PL tone at
the output, there wouldn't be much, if any, PL tone to find on many
repeater's output signals.

Perhaps something constructed with a powerful DSP for adaptive
filtering could zero in, but that isn't an easy chore for the standard
hardware hacker.

Using an external PL generator with a rotary switch, you could
key-down and rotate through the tones unitl the repeater's output
became active.  However, this can be crude and illegal unless done
properly and you properly identify yourself.

Just a random collection of thoughts...

That is correct.  According to Part 97.113(a)(4) of the FCC Amateur
Service Regulations,  Communications must be in plain language or use
accepted standard formats (like DTMF, Packet, RTTY, etc.).

You cannot hide the meaning of communications by using codes and
ciphers.  Having secret access codes for repeater control, for
example, doesn't fall into this category.  Neither does using accepted
abbreviations and Q-codes, because they use accepted standard formats.
Using voice scramblers or encryptors is prohibited on Amateur
frequencies.

I have TWO Zetron Model 50 DID Telephone Trunk Converters for sale.

These both are in BRAND NEW CONDITION.  They were in use for less than a year.

A DID (direct inward dial) line allows each mobile radio or pager to be
reached at a unique, seven-digit telephone number, just as in cellular
service.  A caller doesn't have to overdial extra codes in order to reach
a radio or pager.

They were designed to be used with a Zetron Model 45B (Z-Patch), 46

ANY DID installation.

Rack-mount (about 2" high). All manuals included.

This allows each subscriber to have his own unique telephone number!

Original price was $1,000 each.  Willing to sell for $1200 for both or

I have TWO Zetron Model 50 DID Telephone Trunk Converters for sale.

These both are in BRAND NEW CONDITION.  They were in use for less than a year.

A DID (direct inward dial) line allows each mobile radio or pager to be
reached at a unique, seven-digit telephone number, just as in cellular
service.  A caller doesn't have to overdial extra codes in order to reach
a radio or pager.

They were designed to be used with a Zetron Model 45B (Z-Patch), 46
(Trunked Interconnect) or Model 48B (Repeater Manager) but will work with
ANY DID installation.

Rack-mount (about 2" high). All manuals included.

I Have one Zetron Model 810 Digital Hybrid for sale.  This is a 2-Wire to
4-wire converter with digital signal processing.  It typically is used to
connect a standard telephone line to a mobile radio system.  It will
enhance the audio (especially full-duplex) in trunking, conventional and
cellular radio systems.

This unit is in excellent condition.  It was in-service for less than a year.

Rack-mount (about 2" high).  With Instructions.

Originally purchased for $900.  Will sell for $600 or best offer.

I believe the reason that field programmable radios are not
manufactured for commercial use is that unlike the ham bands ANY work
on the TX side (including programming) must be done by a licensed
person.

Suggest a Motorola Sabre (12 Ch) or Sabre One (48 Ch). My Sabre works
both vhf ham and vhf emergency band LEGALLY. Try the group REC. RADIO.

So tell them.  I'm sure that if they hear there is a market of people
willing to shop locally -- that is, to spend their money locally
rather than just use the store as a catalog showroom for other
mail-order dealers -- they will probably consider a Dallas location.
Can't hurt to write 'em a letter, can it?

I have owned an Icom IC-245 for about 18 years and have
had repeated PLL unlocking problems with it.  It has been
back to Icom at least 8 times and always becomes unlocked
and unusable sooner or later.  A knowledgeable circuit
designer lokked at the rig recently and reported that it
has been severely modified by Icom, with dozens of trace
wires all over the PLL board.

Does anyone know if this rig has a hsitory of PLL problems.
Is the 245 a bad design or did just I get stuck with a
lemon?

Comments would be much appreciated.

The directions in the manual don't work, and the QUICK Reference sheet

Hi Marc,
Yep, Mark at Ham Radio Outlet Oakland, and I tried it on my FT50r and one
other FT50r, new from the box. No luck.
He then broke open 2 other VC23 headsets and we tried them on each radio,
again; nada (PTT was fine, VOX dead). Gain was up, we turned radio(s) off,
plugged in headset, turned radio on. We tried everything but chanting: No
xmit for VOX. PTT, OK. Bad batch, maybe...he's checking with Yaesu.
A mystery. But glad to know that the VC23 headset works on some 50Rs. :)
73,
Steve
