Hello Mike:
        I use a full wave horizontal loop on 160 thru 10 meters. Full wave
lenght on 80 meters. It is 250 foot long. It is not a true loop because
it is open on far end. It works fantastic on all bands. My rig is a
Yaesu FT-890 with a internal antenna tuner. It will tune all bands on
this antenna and WORK. And work pretty good. I have used a G5RV but it
would not radiate very well on 160. The only problem with loop is it
takes four supports, witch I have. By the way I feed it with coax and no
balun. You will probly get arguments on this arrangement, but it works.

I have a DX-70T in my truck.  I like the rig.  It performs well for mobile
use, except for the noise blanker, which is completely worthless.  Alinco
has improved the design (my rig is a very early one) but I hear it's still
not much good.  The big LCD display is easy to read.  I've received a lot
of praise on the transmitted audio quality.  This is the only mobile HF
rig I've ever used that does not require an external speaker, because its
audio output is really super.  The filtering leaves a lot to be desired.
The skirts aren't steep enough.  The CW filters are nearly worthless (to
a dedicated CW operator who is used to operating rigs like my TS-870S).
The price is right, it's plenty small for mobile use, and overall performs
well.  Like all rigs, it has its good and bad points.

Check QST and 73 magazines for their reviews of the DX-70T also.

It's no different than buying from a magazine ad.  You pays your money
and you takes your chances.  People do indeed get cheated buying over
the internet, but not nearly as often as you might think.  And when it
does happen, the person's name who did the cheating gets plastered all
over the net.

If you use a POSTAL money order to pay, bought at the US Post Office,
and you don't get the equipment you ordered, it becomes MAIL FRAUD and
the post office will go after the scumbag who cheated you.

I've been buying/selling over the net for a long time and have never
been cheated.

Yup. The DTMF decoder on the FT-50 works fine and dandy.
Make sure the radio is in DTMF mode. The phone icon has to be lit up.
DTMF memory #9 is the decode memory. You can monitor a frequency and
while the tones are received, the digits are displayed in DTMF memory 9.

I have been to a Kenwood semminar on the 570 and it looks like a very
good rig. It is full QSK and has excelent CW wave shapping as seen on a
scope (best I have seen) It is easy to operate with a unclutered and
open internal design. Also uses a solid state antenna tuner.  The DSPin
this unit is AF and works very good. In fact it works as well or better
than rigs costing twice as much. You can proccess xmit audio as well and
mimic the TS-850s high boost too. I think they have a winner

[e-mail] asked about the risk of buying and selling items
such as radio equipment on Internet.  I agree that it is risky.  Not only
do you not know if, after sending your check, you'll ever get the item.
But you also don't know if it'll work.  Because the transaction is not
face-to-face and the item cannot be taken for a test drive I know several
folks who will not buy from Internet postings.

That said I contend that buying or selling items through Internet is
really no different than using a magazine.  The situation is the same.
You may see something advertized and be interested, but the guy selling
lives 1000 miles away.  If you're interested you could call him up and
talk to him about the piece of equipment and try to determine how honest
he is.  With Internet you can at least e-mail him or even call him when
you get his phone number.  The homework's the same it's just that the way
it's done is different.

Magazine examples:  In 1983 I bought a Yaesu FRG-7700 from a magazine
advertisement.  I put my check in the mail for $350 (I think that's the
amount).  The radio arrived safe and sound and is still in use.  Earlier
this year I sold a Microlog AIR-1 through a magazine.  When I got the
check from the buyer I promptly sent the AIR-1.

Internet examples:  This year I purchased a Kenwood TM-733A and Yaesu
FT-51R through Internet advertisements.  I'm now considering purchasing a
speaker/microphone from an Internet ad.  Both the Kenwood and Yaesu
arrived in great shape and work fine.

In concluding, I would agree with R. A. Green that there is a risk from
buying from Internet.  But, I don't think the risk is really any
different than buying from a magazine ad.  While I imagine that there are
some unsatisfied "customers" out there, I have been very pleased with my
purchases from both magazines as well as Internet.

Why not? FCC rules allow you to - using a WT-xxx-xxxx callsign, where
the xxx-xxxx is your telephone number. There's a "Temporary Licence"
form for the FRS that simply needs to be with your station log.

I played with Kenwood's new TS-570D for a couple of hours last weekend at HRO
in Woodbridge, Va. I'm in the market for a mid-priced HF rig and was sold on
the Yaesu FT-900AT. But after hearing the difference DSP makes in reception of
signals that are weak and/or accompanied by QRM, I think I'm sold on
the TS-570D -- even though it's a few hundred dollars more expensive.

Anyone out there a new TS-570D owner? I'd like to hear your impression of it.
Tell me why I should (or should not) buy this radio instead of the FT-900. I'm
also interested in the performance of its antenna tuner.

Thanks and 73,

Meade Daffron KA4RQB

I bought Eugene Rippen's "Ham Price Guide" but am sorry to say it
wasn't worth the money.  As an example, it lists 26 prices for a Ken
TS830S ranging from $400 to $900.  Features of the gear are not
indicated, except in vague and minimalist terms.  The ARRL Radio
Buyers Sourcebook is much better.  It tells you the features of the
gear in great detail, but does not give used prices (original price
range often given.)     -Dan, K8JWR

Never had any problems. I usually exchange email with the seller
and these messages tell quite a lot. Dishonest "sellers" don't
tell you more details than have been posted before, but the
people who really sell things can describe them quite accurately.
They will probably tell you why they are selling.
Ask questions about the item for sale and check other sources
for confirmation. If they don't match...

I am having a problem with my Kenwood TM-742.  I am hearing an S3 signal on
146.525 MHz that seems to be internally generated.  It remains constant with
or without an antenna connected.

I can also hear it if I hold another receiver (e.g. an HT) nearby the 742 and
tune to 146.525.  I can make the signal come and go on the HT by turning the
742 on and off.

While I find this really annoying (It is still quite strong on 146.52 nat'l
simplex freq!) and am likely to ask Kenwood to fix it, I am curious if others
are experiencing the problem.  Anyone?

Plz copy me directly as well as the list. My list reception is sometimes

I have bought a few things through internet postings with no
complaints. However,  there is a difference dealing with individuals
rather than companies, and that is the use of credit cards. I would
NEVER send a check to a company for a mail order purchase in advance
of receiving the goods. The credit card gives you the abililty to get
your money back if the goods are refused. The only real solution to me
is to use COD. While some decry the delay in receiving payment, it
seems the only way to make sure both parties get what they expect.
There have been a number of postings as to which carrier does the best
at returning payment, but for me it's COD or no sale. If you really
want to buy/sell, it's cheap insurance. Too bad we can't trust each
other, but being in business myself, I have been shafted by the best
of 'em.

Now what was it you wanted to sell?

Icom rarely makes bad radios, but this model was one exception!  Yes, the
PLL had a history of unlocking, with corresponding display segment
wierdness.

The problem centered around their use of brass eyelets used as
feedthroughs on the double-sided PLL board.  I fixed my own by using the
recommended COPPER wire jumpers at every eyelet.  As I recall, there were
two or three under the 40-pin PLL chip!  :(  Between the myriad of little
wires connecting the PLL module and having to remove the PLL chip to get
underneath, I had my work cut out that evening!

Icom realized soon enough that brass and lead/tin solder make little
batteries that eventually corrode and open their connections!

They also recommended replacing all the polystyrene capacitors on the PLL
board, as well.  Back in the mid-80s when I went through this horrifying
task, Icom was kind enough to send me a handful of replacement caps.

Good luck!  (and no, I won't do it for you!!)  :)

Mystery Solved!

I stopped by HRO so I could give them my paycheck. :)
Some entered with an FT50r-said his VOX VC23 worked fine.
Soooooo, we tried the VC23s: 3 out of 4 in the shop failed to xmit by
VOX, BUT the 4th worked perfectly on all 50Rs
Thanks to Phil of 4Seasons for letting us try these on his 50r
and to Mark of HRO for standing behind his products. Mark is sending the
bad 3 back to Yaesu.
Thanks to all who replied,

Bob:

I am also getting into GMRS and found a good web site on the subject.
The company is called S-COMM and their url is:  http://www.gmrs.com

I have not done business with them yet, but they have a good FAQ on GMRS.

Another FAQ is located at http://www.li.net/~j4dice/scanning_info/gmrsfaq.html

Yet another FAQ is http://www.primenet.com/~n7ory/gmrs.html


You will need FCC form 574 and license fee form 1070Q. I obtained these free
of charge from the FCC by dialing their forms request line at 1(800)418-3676
it is an automated voice mail system. It took about 5 days to get the forms.

I called them last Monday, and the forms arrived on Saturday.
Now I just need to get them filled out!


I hope this helps!

Hi,
Does anyone know a solvent that can be used to remove COAX SEAL.
I have used this on stranded copper wire.  Years later, the wires show
no sign of oxidation, BUT, this stuff is very hard to remove!  I
have tried to find a solvent, but so far NO LUCK.
Thanks,

You probably mean "measuring the impedance at the antenna feed point". If
used for that purpose, even a small amount of coax loss can make a
suprising amount of difference in the measurement. It's particularly bad if
the impedance to be measured is very different from the Z0 of the half
wavelength cable. Loss will cause the value looking into the line to be
skewed toward the Z0 of the cable.

As for SWR measurement, consider an antenna which has exactly a 50 ohm
feedpoint resistance and no reactance. Connect it to your rig with a half
wavelength of 75 ohm cable, and put an SWR meter at the rig end. A 50 ohm
SWR meter will read 1:1. The SWR on the cable is 1.5:1. A 75 ohm SWR meter,
if you can find one, will read 1.5:1. (Actually, the meter will read a
little less due to inevitable cable loss.)

How about an antenna which has a 75 ohm feedpoint resistance and no
reactance, connected to the rig with a 50 ohm cable? A 50 ohm SWR meter at
the rig will measure 1.5:1, regardless of the length of the coax. (Again,
the actual reading will be a little less due to loss, and will decrease
as the coax gets longer because then the loss gets greater.)

I had one that I had to install many many jumpers to correct the PLL
problems. It was a VERY well documented problem with the 245 and also to
a degree the base version, the 211.  Internationl radio Icom newsletters
had an article yeares ago with all jumpers that needed to be installed.
After I did mine, I never had another problem with it. I do not have the
article any longer, but someone may have copies of the International
Radio Newsletters.

This amp is the same as the Ameritron AL-80.  It is still in the box, in
kit form, unbuilt.  Therefore, it has zero time on the 3-500 Z tube, which
is rated at 1 kW output.  This may be your last chance to build a
Heathkit!  I planned to build it myself, but simply don't have the free
time.  $650 plus shipping, or arrange pickup near Dayton, Ohio.  Contact
me at [e-mail], or at [phone].

As far as I can tell in actual working conditions, this is more of a
theoretical limitation than an actual one. In the CQWW SSB contest last
weekend, a real-life acid test if ever there was one, I listened
carefully for the supposed IF blowby and diminished dynamic range caused
by stong signals in the IF passband. I really couldn't hear any
degradation, and I did try. My feeling is that the advantages of the
variable IF filters done in DSP far outweigh any slight dynamic blocking
which does occur under absolute worst-case conditions.

I'm not a DSP evangelist, but I did decide to try a TS-870 to see how
well it could do against some of my older analog gear, including a
TS-850, which is a fine radio equipped with all the optional filters. I
have to tell you that, IMHO, the 870 is better on receive. Other
benchmarks include a Watkins-Johnson HF-1000A, various older Yaesu
radios, and lots of Collins stuff. Of course, I think that the Collins
audio is still better than all these radios, but the TS-870 is very
close :-). I did demo both the FT-1000MP and the IC-775 briefly before
deciding on the TS-870. I remain of the opinion that its DSP
implementation is the best of the current lot.

As always, YMMV, etc.

Just curious...

What if I am running TCP/IP packet radio to connect two
LINUX boxes and a PGP-encrypted file goes across?  Illegal?

What if I am accessing a remote network device and I
have no control over what is in the file?  Can I help
it if somebody ELSE encrypted it?  I was just moving it...
I cannot know what is in the file until I transfer it.  ;-)

Don't ya just LOVE old fashioned regulations when they
collide with new technology?

I use a large  loop with very good results on all bands..
160-6m  I made no attempt to get the size just right
 I just put up about 530 feet of wire and fed it with 450 ohm ladder
line...
into a 9 to 1 balun to a tuner.  It is up about 75 feet and puts out a
large signal. As you might expect it works best for close in stuff
on 160 and 80 although I have worked europe with just 100 W.

Jay,

I have one that's worth about that. Of course it has been heavily
damaged by water and I did sell the control head and mike to some poor
soul who had his stolen. But if you are up for the $225 I'll even throw
in a power cord and mobile mount. Heck I'll even pay the shipping. A
full up operating FT-5200 is worth twice your offer. Get real.

Actually, several Japanese companies, Sony, Kawasaki, and Honda immediately
come to mind, have opened plants in the US to take advantage of "cheap
American labor". You see, wages and benefits (especially benefits) are
higher in Japan than in the US. Of course they also do production in
other Asian countries where labor costs really are lower.

If you want to know the real reason US made products are often more
expensive (it isn't wages paid to workers), look at how the corporations
act as tax collectors for the government. Did you know that the wheat
in a loaf of bread costs under 3 cents? The wrapper costs nearly that
much. Labor cost (actually take home pay, which is a different thing)
in a loaf of bread is under 2 cents. Allowing the baker a generous
100% profit margin, a loaf of bread should cost about 16 cents. So
why does it cost over a dollar? One word, *tax*. Most of it is hidden
from the consumer, but it's there, rolled into the price at every
step of the process. Business doesn't pay taxes, it collects taxes
for the government and hides them in the form of higher prices to the
consumer.

If you want to know why things cost so much, look at the growth
in government spending over the last 35 years.

They do have computers, though. Both to control the radio and as
DSP processors. Ten-Tec has lagged the Japanese in adopting new
technology in their radios, but they're trying to catch up.

Ten-Tec is a very small company compared to the Japanese companies,
and it can't pay competitive salaries for design engineers. So it
has tended to lag in product development. Because of low volume
production, it also has a higher unit cost. That's why it was
dropped from dealer shelves and had to go to direct sales. There
wasn't enough margin to keep the dealer happy and still compete
on price with the Japanese.

The huge, and virtually captive, home market the Japanese have
for amateur equipment gives them an enormous advantage. They
can plan on production runs orders of magnitude larger than
Ten-Tec. That lets them get unit costs way down, so they can
offer dealers healthy margins in exchange for shelf space,
pay for large amounts of promotional advertising, and still
make a healthy profit.

Basically yes. Our amateur market is too small compared to the
Japanese home market, so we can't achieve the economies of scale
that they can. We have a tax structure which strongly discourages
long term R&D investment. And frankly our amateur population by
and large doesn't demand leading edge products. So the Japanese
control the market by default.

I have purchased four radios via the internet now. Two are TM 742a
Kenwoods , one dual band Icom HT, and one Icom 2 meter HT. All items so
far have been in the condition described, in this case all near great
condition. Only one didn't come COD, I sent the check first, and of the
others one was cash the others Company Checks. It is a chance yet there
is one thing that seems to have proven itself to be in your favor, Most
radio people are good people when it comes to doing business and dealing
with thier radios. Do you take care of your equipment? Well most of us
do too. And also if a person is so easily tracked by a call sign not to
mention represented by it, they tend to be more up front because they
can also be defaced by it. Notice that those who do wrong here are
spoken about for a long time. However there are bad seeds in every
crowd, I have just been lucky so far?
Some simple rules;

1. Speak to the person and feel them out, no keyboard to keyboard only.
        (Shady people often sound that way. A phone number gives you
         more info to trace before any money is exchanged.)
2. If you are concerned, ask for COD.
        (Even more so if you ask the UPS or FEDEX guy to stay as you
         open the box he can verify its contents and help file a claim
         if you got rocks instead of what you bought. However most
         won't let you open it until you give payment, and they won't
         give it back usually {unless he has tape handy}. But if you are
         lucky enough to be able to pay in check, you can kill it.
         Money orders are good to for some extra rights.)
3. Verify information. You have a whole world at your access, make use
        of it.
        (Check the address of person to the call book, yet some like
         myself have a different mailing address. Check phone number
         to name and address.)
4. Remember that others like yourself are depending on the honesty of
some when they do choose to except a check or delayed payment
        when selling items.
        Higher risk gets higher benifits?
        I don't know if that applies yet I think most of the people here
        are on the level.
5. Last one, IF IT SEEMS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY....PROBABLY IS!

Happy shopping and good luck,
Dave Payne

Right on for getting it to work! FYI, I did NOT have the cable
removed. I did however have it replaced to see if that was the
problem.. It was then sent to Kenwood, and is at their shop now. $200
for the part ALONE. New control board. I had a friend look at it. She
had done work for NASA doing PC Boards. And she said she wouldn't have
touched it. One bajillionth of an inch, and your radio goes bye-bye.
Is opening up the frequnecy REALLY worth the risk?? I know, there's
probably a lot of people who have sucessfully completed the mod, and
just as many who had their radio fried. I unfortunately am one of the
latter.

I haven't run any kind of real tests on it, but I have not heard any
intermod in normal operation. I know of some hot spots around town
that would kill my HT, and they seem to be solid with the FT-8000.
I mentioned 'normal operation' because you can put a VHF freq. on the
UHF side and vica-versa. While in that operating mode, I have heard
intermod and other strange products like broadcast audio in band. I
can't be any more specific than that since I haven't had time to
experiment and fully identify the problem.
Despite an audio problem on the left side (see my previous post), I
like the radio.

I have two of the HTX212, the predecesor of the 242.
They are fine radios.  Good features.
One thing that I am annoyed with is the fact that you cannot store
non-amateur frequencies in memory.  For example, I can tune 162.550 on
the VFO but it won't let me store it in memory.
From what I've heard, the 242 fixes this problem, but don't quote me on
this.  Since the 212 is discontinued, some Radio Shacks have a few left
over, so you might be able to find a close-out deal on them.

Rex,
according to the fcc, superregen receivers (especially of the old tube
variety) were removed from authorized use because they could not meet
part 15 rules and regs( created more noise in the spectrum they were
receiving on).

Hope this helps...

Hi All
Note:  BARRY ELECTRONICS OF 512 BROADWAY, NY is the worst choise for
your equipment buy.  !!! !!! !!!
The store sucks, no one attends you unless you have been standing
there for some 15 minutes, inventory is limited - very few items for
hams, and too much concentration on cellular.
Wanted help ? - forget it.
Had to make you realize that - DON"T  GO  THERE - even for the
rest-room ! They'll say it's broken (I know - I've been there October
23rd ).

Does anyone have experince with fan noise in Yaesu FT1000D?  Mine seems
to be quite audible, moreso than some other rigs with temp. controlled
fans?   Any one have experience with this rig?

Nope. Often as I screw up, I managed to say what I meant this time. But the
50 ohm SWR meter would also read 1.5:1 for any length of cable if the cable
were 75 ohms. (Of course the SWR on the cable is 1:1 in this case, not
1.5:1 as it would be if the cable were 50 ohms.)

ISDN _is_ available. It is possible to get ISDN from a digital
through an analogue switchboard to _any_ phone. This is being
done here in Germany for companies that really need ISDN but
are connected to an old strowger switch <sp?>.

Just ask you local phone company. If call-waiting, caller-ID,
tone dialling,... are available, you are connected to a
digital switchboard which also supports ISDN, so don't fall
for their lies.

In SSB mode the 9130 runs on high power all the time.  The hi-lo power
switch is made inactive by a transistor wired across it that shorts it out.
I disbled the action of that transistor by removing one pin from one of
the connectors.  The hi-lo switch then works on SSB, giving you 5 watts
lo, 25 watts high.

I don't remember the pin/connector.  Check the schematic for a transistor
across the hi-lo switch.

Every since Barry died (15 years ago?) it has gone downhill severely.
Alas, another business which needed its creator to continue.
But also reflecting the fact that in this age of solid-state electronics,
moving quantity is essential to economic survival.
New Yorkers are renowned for taking up the time of salespeople, getting
free advice, trying out a product, and then buying it down the street to
save a few dollars.

There are quite a few stores that sell ham equipment in Sim Lim Square
at Rochor Road. You'll need good bargaining skills though.

The way I understand it, with COD, you pay when the package is delivered
to your door.  Say for argument's sake that instead of the product that
you ordered, there are two bricks in the box.  Once you pay the delivery
person and he's gone, where's the insurance you speak of?

BTW, I do not have a better solution but I just wanted to point out that
COD is not that good either if you don't trust the person on the other
end.

From my conversation with TS-570 owners, I understand the 570 is not using
DSP like the TS-870. The 870 uses an 11mhz dsp I.F stage after the last RF
type IF amplifier which has a 3kc xtal filter in it's chain.

The 570 has a typical audio type dsp after the detector. The IF stage has
a 500hz cw filter that is switched in when in cw mode.

IF this is true, and again, it's secondhand information, the 570 is rather
typical in nature and should not perfrom any better than say a TS-450 with
an outboard dsp unit such as the MFJ or Timewave. Furthermore, having just
a 500hz filter seems to be rather limiting.

If the DSP is in the AF rather than the IF, then the unit really isn't any
better, from a DSP perspective, than say, a TS450 with a good outboard
DSP unit.  Am I right?

I have a very loud FT1000D fan - louder than the TL-922 next to it.
Yaesu said it was within specs.  Apparently the fans vary in noise
level as other FT1000D's that I have operated are quite quite.

I'm intrigued and a little worried to hear you say that the FT50 is a
"nice radio".  I was using an FT208 for some years and the FT50 was
it's direct replacement.  As I use the new radio in exactly the same
place for the same job, I think I can compare the two without any
instruments or graphs... My assessment is that the radio is as deaf as
a post! Performance seems to have been sacrificed at the expense of
bells and whistles.  My wife, who usually keeps in touch when she's in
the family car, is demanding that I get rid of the thing - calling it
[not me] a useless lump! I think that both my old  IC2e and the old
Yaesu FT208 knocked my new radio in to a cocked hat for receive
sensitivity and the 'steam radio' section of the thing sounds awful -
Oh dear, what ever convinced me to buy one of these little gizmo's?

Yeah. Tucker's gone. The ARRL electronic letter contained an article on
this along with some quotes from Tocker's folks. HRO has bought them and
all calls to Tucker's 800 number are automatically router to HRO.

I've used this model for a few years and have had not the slightest
problem with it. It's a fine antenna with lots of gain and the SWR
curve is just about as advertised. Previously I had 2 and 3 element
quads up here but I just couldn't keep them in the air for more than a
season, but the TH5 Mark 2 has taken everything without a murmur of
protest. It sees to be the equivalent of 4 elements on each band and
is useable throughout the range. If I had one minor criticism, it
would be that the brace holding the balun to the boom is not made of
stainless steel, whereas everything else seems to be! Maybe an
oversight, but the metal there is sure rusting...  I still  think
you'll love this one though!  de Ken/G4MPQ

Handbooks or other ARRL publications (prior to 1970).  I am also
interested in pre-1960's QSL cards and logbooks.  Anything of historical

This is for my personal collection, and will not be resold.

Greetings All,
As I am anxiously awaiting my ham ticket and have already purchased a 2 meter
radio that I intend to use as a mobile unit in my vehicle, I was wondering if
anyone could give me advice on any glass mount antennas on the market?
I would prefer not to do any drilling on my vehicle and would like to know if
a glass mount would be a reasonable option.
Is there more signal loss w/ a glass mount?
Will the thru-glass mount effect gain?
Other options I might not know of?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx!                         James

Hi, I am looking for ANYONE that might have used one of these VHF power
amps by ETO (vintage 1970s). If you have a unit or owned/ used one,
please give me a call. I need info on performance. reliability etc. And
I would like to buy a clean unit if possible.

Did anyone ever buy one of these? I can't seem to get any info on them
(No, I haven't tried ETO direct yet!)

My only negative comments are:

1) No pricing information. Why not? When customers go to the trouble
    of finding a website, the pricing should already be there. Why not
    put it there???

2) Why not allow customers to purchase from the website? Many people
are not as hung up on security as others. Besides, netscape 3.0 is
secure enough for most people.

Lot's of postives. Nice products (the 'best' of course!)

Hi All,

I'm in the process of getting some ideas together for building a 2m/70cm
SAT station here at home.

What I need to know is what radios are best suited to this type of
operation.

I like the Icom IC821H, but don't really know what others there are
around, especially since there are so many.

If you use a particular radio for SAT work, then please do E-Mail with
your experience of the equipment that you are using.

I do like Icom equipment, however if there is something out there that
is just as well suited or even better then I'd like to know!

*The same goes for antennas and preamps!!)

Please reply with any comments ...

73 and thanks for taking the time to read this ...

I live near Boulder, Colorado, where the BIG winds blow.

Last week's big wind got my rotator - it behaves as
though a lot of teeth are missing from the final drive
gear. HyGain offers great support, but I think that
starts AFTER I get the rotator off the tower. Now, I
need help with the task of removing it for repair.


The rotator is a HyGain HDR-300 on a Rohn 55G tower.
It mounts to the bottom of a mounting plate, which is
about 6' below the thrust bearing. Assuming the hex set
screws for the clamp (above the mounting plate) will
release, dropping the rotator out should be as simple
as removing the four bolts which attach it to the
mounting plate. The 55G is big enough to get the
rotator in and out through the side of the tower.


My big concern is this: even though the weight of the
2-1/2" diam mast and antenna (combined weight of about
250 lb.., mostly ABOVE the thrust bearing) is born by
the thrust bearing, I think the rotator is essential
for lateral stability of the mast - I don't think the
thrust bearing can maintain the vertical alignment of
the mast by itself. Am I right? Is there a standard way
of stabilizing the lower end of the mast while the
rotator is removed and repaired (likely to be many
weeks)? I'd really rather not remove and reinstall the
antenna and mast.


Also, if the hex set screws that fix the mast clamp
to the rotator output shaft are really frozen, what are
the methods (in order of increasing desperation) for
dealing with them - liquid wrench, EZ-out?


Thanks for suggestions.

Stan

I don't know. Is the dsp inside the agc loop? Is the agc taken from the

and how to construct the cable.

Kenwood th-47a 440 ht $180 OBO

This is one of the `ergonomic' designs: it's got a bit of a
curve in the back so it fits your hand better.

It has all the usual goodies: (99 memories, dtmf dialer memories,
ctcss encode & decode, page, scan, charger, rubber, battery etcetera)

I bought this unit new in september 1991. It's seen light use, so it's
in excellent shape, original box, manual, & bags. Now I have a ft530.

email preferred ([e-mail]), phone if you want to 6-11pm EST 613 832 4014.

That does not justify charging list price (and sometimes more than the

I am having trouble obtaining enought output from FT-1000 and FT-736R
to operate a PK-232.  Audio output is being taken from fixed output
available from each unit.

1       Is there enought output to operate this way?

2       Is it possible to increase output of audio from each unit?

3       What is the required voltage input to the PK-232 and what is the
Z/

Any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi folks,
I recently converted my IC-02A from 12.5/25 kHz spacing, to 5/10 hKz
spacing
for use in the US, and now it won't transmit and seems to be operating on
some
funny frequency.

I got the conversion info in the form of "remove this diode and add that
diode",
and would like a definitive list of what all the little diodes do, so I can
set it
up properly. I suspect I have only half the conversion done. In addition,
when
I put it back to 12.5/25kHz, it still wouldn't work!

Has anybody got a definitive list of the diode settings?

I have the schematic.

Check the Icom IC-202 and IC-402. These radios are not synthesized,
but use VXO tuning. They put out a very clean (and therefore tight)
signal and the RX is very sensitive. I can't give you exact data,
but years ago I used to work portable QRP DX on 2m with an Icom
IC-202 barefoot. Add a good antenna system and you're all set
for SAT and DX.

You might want to re-tune the transceivers for SAT to get maximum
results, since they are quite narrow - I couldn't get 145.8 on
my IC-202, but received best results on 144.0-144.6 YMMV.

Mine works ok.
Go Funct 3 (puts radio in dtmf mode)
press & hold funct for 1/2 sec
press 9

any dtmf tones will be displayed, and you can scroll thru
to erase I try press and hold funct for 1/2 sec, then press the knob

you must have the ftt12 keypad for the decoding

Hope this helps

I agree you must be unlucky. My DX70 had high deviation on 10m PL tones,
but that was the only problem I have heard of from a few other owners.
Good luck. By the way, in the case of high deviation, I returned the
unit to Alinco and they adjusted it and returned it to me promptly.

one more thing, does anyone know where the best deal is for the ft-50?
it seems as though all the places (hro, AES) have the same prices.
Mabey if they are giveing something away, i might buy it from them
insead of HRO, AES etc.  (mabey thats you)

My trusty Icom 735 has developed a RX problem on 20 meters:  both SSB and
CW signals sound extremely raspy.  (No, I don't have any optional
filters.)

Other signals on 10, 15 and 40 sound fine.  (No, I have not checked the
WARC bands yet.)

Any ideas where to start trouble-shooting?

Thanks in advance and 73 from Leigh Marrin/KM6JE in Santa Barbara.

I live in New York and in NY. you can find almost anything in the world
that you want.  EXCEPT good ham radio equipment.  I also think Barry's is
the worst store in the world to buy ham equipment from. Before I was
licensed, I went there to see if they had any used equipment.  They told
me that Hams never got rid of their used equipment unless it was broken.
(Hah!)  They wanted to sell me new overpriced equipment only.  Why not
take advantage of a new and inexperienced ham...

Stay far away!

My dedicated packet radio has finally bit the big one, first
the lights blew in the display, and now it won't shut off when
you push the on/off button. You need to unplug it... I think
there is a surface mount transistor or diode blown, but I need
a schematic to locate it.

If you have a schematic for an ALINCO DR1200 data radio, please
contact me at:

[e-mail]

or fax a copy to [phone]

Your help is greatly appreciated.

While the original 245SSB I owned never had a provlem, the nostalgia
piece I bought recently does. It came back from Icom OK but I had to
tune above 147 to get the PLL to lock. I fixed that, now a year on the
shelf and it is free running again. There is NO service manual. Guess
it's just a poor design from the early days of PLL's

A friend just bought the FT8000R and set it up in his car. I
was very interested until he said that he could only put ONE
phone number in the autodialer memory. I haven't seen the book
yet, but is this right or is he just blind. I sure wouldn't want it if I can o
nly have
one number.

You get what you pay for.  Although having said that if you're only
using it for CW you may be able to get by with a less expensive unit.

If you like to solder I could personally recommend the DSP kit by
W9GR.  It's featrued in this years ARRL Handbook and was reviewed
during '95. And it sells for $175.00 with case and all.  You could
also save by not buying the solid steel case and build it into some
other peripheral if for example you are using an outboard speaker with
room in the cabinet.

Two things that make it especially wonderful for CW.  It has a
fantastic digital AGC  circuit so that even though the rigs AGC may be
tripped by a nearby powerful station within ITS passband, you won't
lose the  signal  you're listening to within the DSP's passband.

Also you can narrow the passband very tightly without losing your side
tone from your rig.

But I don't do much CW and I was blown away by how well it compensates
for the mediocre receiver in my ICOM 706 on SSB.  It'll turn it into a
first rate rig.

Good luck and good DX.

I'm looking at the ad for the 8000, and have a few questions about the
mic.

1) I assume p1 & p2 are programmable functions, but what is "P"?
power?  and what is "ACC" ???

2) Is that an LED in the left?  what for, TX/RX?

3) Besides the programmable keys, does the radio have mic. remote
control?  Are there key combinations (using the "white" keys) to
control all of the radios functions like on my Alinco 610?

If anyone can answer my questions, please email me.  Thanks.

I think I'd have to go with the COD. Actually, "decrying the delay in
payment" is a pretty lame excuse for not agreeing to this. I would
actually be highly suspect of anyone who wouldn't agree to this form
of transaction. I mean, once you've mailed it, payment is pretty much
guaranteed if you're being straight; either that or you get your
equipment back. I think I would also insist on it being insured so the
UPS guy would let you inspect the contents before he left. Actually,
I've gotten several emails on this subject, and I haven't come across
anyone who has gotten burned, which appears to be pretty good news so
far. Anyone gotten hosed out there?

I got my ham license through a classroom training hosted by an open
446.650 repeater's founder KJ6TQ late 1993 at Burbank Fire Dept.
training center in Calif.  Almost a year ago KM6NP close repeater
system pop up in the same pair who claimed to be coordinated but
has been trying to conquer the pair to shutdown the KJ6TQ repeater.

Mike Mercado or KM6NP, who publishes the Electronics Times, even
installed transmitter just for the purpose of jamming KJ6TQ
operations and periodically broadcast warning to KJ6TQ repeater's
users.

Ham radio operators pride themselves in being polite.  Yeah right!
I can't believe this person whom I presumed smart is SICK.

I used the KAM+ and IC-706 combo. I ended up using both the ACC
connector and the rear panel mic connector due to the way the KAM
works (one port for VHF and another for HF). I used FSK on the HF
digital modes but did not have the 500 Hz filter installed. I believe
that this filter works CW as well as RTTY.

It makes for a nice package: both are compact enough to put in my
oversize briefcase and lug into the hotel room when I travel. Bring
your laptop and you are in bizness!

Need help with the mods of this TM-741E

I read that you must remove the jumpers and cut a green cable.
Removing the jumpers, so far so good, still no extended frequenties.
Never find a green cable in the TM-741E so i can't cut it.

Who helps me with a good explination how to make the TM-741E works with
extended frequenties ?
I need those for my work as a security-agent. I would not go to a
Kenwood dealer because a buy this radio second-hand.

Please help me via email.

I already have all the papers about the mod's of this radio, only could
NOT find any green cable to cut.

I have had a FT-1000 for several years and do not find the fan noise
objectionable.  There is a bit of noise but not more than I expected.
One approach of course is to listen to another unit and see how they
compare.

of the unit. I know that the labelling reads "POWER - +" but I am not sure
that that is the exact polarity of the unit. Any ideas? The pin diagram is
shown below.

Two pins horiz. and 2 vert. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Just bought an FT-1000.  Excelent rig.   But the fan seems to be very
audible as compared to other fan cooled rigs.  May be bad bearing.  Does
anyone else have similar experience with FT1000 fan noise?  What did you
do?

Yes, SSB/CW/AM uses horizontal polarization, although it's not that important
during band openings.  (I've worked Nova Scotia, Oregon, Arizona, Panama, and
Florida from Milwaukee, Wisconsin using 90w to a Diamond DP-GH62 ground plane.
)

Newcomers to six meters should seriously consider buying a copy of "Six
Meters: A Guide to the Magic Band" by Ken Neubeck, WB2AMU.  It's available for
$14 (including postage) from:

Worldradio Books
Box 189490
Sacramento, CA  95818     (California residents add 93 cents sales tax.)

It's quite a good, comprehensive introduction to the band, including
equipment, antennas, band allocations, operating procedures, etc.

73,

I got my ham license through a classroom training hosted by an open

training center in Calif.  Almost a year ago KM6NP close repeater
system pop up in the same pair who claimed to be coordinated but
has been trying to conquer the pair to shutdown the KJ6TQ repeater.

Mike Mercado or KM6NP, who publishes the ELECTRONIC TIMES, even
installed a transmitter just for the purpose of jamming KJ6TQ
operations and periodically broadcast warning to KJ6TQ repeater's
users.  I can't believe this person whom I considered smart must
be so SICK.

Please give Alan Judd great thanks for subjecting his radio to T&E R&D (trial

Very simple. And what you should always do when receiving a package.
Don't sign for it and don't hand over the check until you have opened
it and checked the contents. The carrier will wait. You have a right
to inspect the package. COD also pretty well guarantees that the
carrier will deliver it to the right place, in order to get the money.
Otherwise, no telling where it may get left.

Once you sign for it, you have acknowledged that you received
(accepted) the package. Many of the packages I receive in my business
come with a shipping document that clearly states it is my
responsibility to verify that the package does indeed contain what the
shipping document says it does. I can't count the times I have been
handed (but I didn't RECEIVE) packages that were incomplete, or in
fact things I didn't order at all. Most reputable businesses/vendors
will make it good if I accept something that is incorrect, but they
don't have to. Just as I don't have to return materials that were sent
to me in error, but I do.
Trust but verify...

If it is a Motorola N1274A, the horizontal blades (nearer to the SO239s)
are ground, and the vertical ones (on the right, closer to the edge of the
case) are +.  The ground pins are connected to chassis ground, so use an
ohmmeter or buzzer to check out for sure.  There is a big diode hooked
up backwards across the power plug (make sure you fuse the power leads;
there is NO internal fuse), so don't get confused.  Some meters, when
measuring resistance, put out opposite polarity (red = negative) so keep
that in mind.

Careful with them; you probably don't have a license to transmit there,
and you need a Tech or higher license for the Ramsey crap.

If the Xandi one is like the Ramsey FM-6, be very careful.  It has *NO*
output filtering, and puts out spurs all over the place (every 12 MHz up
and down from the carrier and its harmonics) - assembled according to
their instructions, it is ILLEGAL to use, even with the appropriate
license.

(Note.  I haven't seen the Xandi other than in their ads.  When I called
and asked whether they made them on frequencies that hams are allowed to
transmit on, they trotted out the old "anyone can transmit anywhere under
100 mW" story that Nick Goss used to use.  That was the old rule for the
FM broadcast band; it's now based in field strength at a certain distance
from the antenna.)

If you do have a ham license, and a *valid* use for the transmitter (no,
bugging a room won't do), look at Agrelo Engineering's transmitters.  They
are great for telemetry, APRS, foxes, etc.  All they need is a battery and
an ID'er (he sells voice IDers for foxes also), and they are well made,
and meet the FCC's emissions specs.

I have an Icom IC-2GXAT in perfect condition which I don't need.  I
bought it new six months ago at the LIRC Hamfest in New York because my
wife and I were preparing to do extensive traveling and I wanted it in
the car for emergencies, and no emergencies occurred, so it has been
used only twice (to test it).  It has everything that comes in the
original box including the original box itself, plus the optional DC
power cord for use with an external supply, the optional
"cigarette-lighter" power cord/regulator for automobile use, an extra
charger (third-party), the operator's manual, and it has the BP-174
battery pack for 7 watt transmitter power level.

Thing is, I'm mic-shy.  I've always been pretty much exclusively a CW
and RTTY operator, and not too interested in FM (or AM or SSB, for that
matter!)  I'd like to trade the HT for HF radio equipment.  Age doesn't
matter, and electrical condition really only matters to the extent that
the trade value assumed is realistic for the condition involved.  The
physical condition should be at least fair, and units MUST be
"complete".

Any offers?

I picked up a Diamond SRH519 from HRO after the salesman demonstrated
that it was a better antenna by comparing its reception over that of the
Yaesu supplied antenna.  It's not cheap, $34.95, but it does seem to work
well.  IMHO it looks better than Yaesu's antenna, but that's just an
opinion!

HRO prices are pretty good, but I have beaten them on occasion at Texas
Towers.  You might give them a try.  I didn't, because the FT-50R was
definitely an impulse buy!

Have you tried Icom Tech Service? They most likely have it available and could
 fax it to
you on request. Their telephone number is [phone].

This worried me so I quickly connected mine up to a sig gen and did a
very rough and ready test. Basically I wound the level of the analyser
down to a just copyable level. Levels might be slightly out above 500MHz
as I had to swap to a non synthesised source.

Freq/MHz     Level/uV
76              12.6
144             .1  as low as gen goes.
145             .1  as low as gen goes.
146             .1  as low as gen goes.
200             1.6
300             1.8
400             .13
430             .14
435             .14
440             .14
500             .13
600             126.0
700             10.0
800             8.9
900             3.2
999             112.0


Having had a ganders at the Yaesu sales blurb it quotes 0.16uV for VHF
and .18uV for UHF, so I guess mine works.
Obviously I haven't made any received noise figure measurements, but as a
quick lets look and see if the radio works anything like it ought to, I
think this does the job.

The W9GR DSP is an excellent unit, and GR's a great guy.

The MFJ DSP does all of this also, and much more. It also has received
very good reviews.

Either unit is excellent.

Hello Mike!

I have been working with loop for 80 metres now abt 2 months. It has been
made according the ARRL Handbook. The antenna is fed directly RG58/U and
it's up about 30 feet above the gnd.  The rig and tuner is Kenwood TS-870S.
"Resonance" freq. is 3.6 MHz. Power used is 100 W.
Tuning:   1.8 MHZ   - no good, too much swr.
          1.9  "    - poor, swr ok.
          3.5  "    - Swr <1.2 but lots' of rf inside the ham schack
                      (blinking light bulbs, some TVI)
          3.6  "    - exellent for 0-1500 km QRBs
           3.8  "    - good for 1000-2000 km, no dx antenna

          7.0  "    - pretty good, worked VU,7M,9M,ZS,JA (CW)
                      SSB (mostly Europe QSOs)
         10.1  "    - many DX (9M,ZS,...)
         14.0  "    - swr <1.2 but it doesn't work very well, the signal
                      shoots directly upwards (I hear almost everybody
                      within 1000 km range)!
         18.1  "    - pretty good, dx qsos possible (VU,7Z,...), my
                      exprerience on this band is from last sunday only.
         21.0  "    - tuning problems, the are spots where the swr is good
                      and only 20 kc up or down it changes rapidly.
                      I have only few qsos into Europe.
         24.0  "    - pretty good swr, no other experience.
         28.0  "    -   "      "    "   "   "       ".

Probably I'have had about 10 new countries during last 2 months, most of
them in cw. My favourites are 7,10 and 18 MHz and of course 3.6 for
domestic qsos. Best direction for me is obviously E-SE.

I had a similar experience with them. It took 25 minutes to get a price
over the phone on a Icom T7A. Then it was way overpriced (by almost
$100). I don't know how this place can stay in business. I ended up
driving to HRO in Delaware. It was worth the trip.

My Son wants to try working the MIR satellite using his W32a Icom HT.
But the frequency range doesn't allow him to transmit below 440 Mhz.
( He needs to be able to transmit in the 435-6 Mhz range) Anyone aware of
a mod for these HTs to allow this?

Thanks; Bill N9TNW

I have found that gasoline is a pretty good solvent for coax seal.  Best
thing is that I'm sure you already have some!

I had just the opposite experience.  I replaced the stock antenna with
the Diamond and it was deaf.  Put the stock back on and bingo...loud
and clear.  The Diamond was especially deaf in the 800 MHz range.

Hello group,

I need information on this radio. Its a crystal controled FM
transmitter for 2 Mtr.

I need the manual and schematics. The reson is because the radio has
problems on transmitting.

Let me tell you what happens now, I installed new crystals and ever
since that moment the oscilator stops after transmitting for +/- 4
minutes. Could the reason for this be that the crystals arn't conform
the calulation used for this radio.

Hope the here from anyone,

It can do about 175 watts out when turned up. But when you do I want
your business on replacing the finals because it will be frequent.

Anyone have one of these? I was considering a Yaesu FT-50R, but am now
also looking at the Icom. What I'm interested in is a usable expanded
receive, mainly aircraft freqs 118 - 136 and 236 - 272. TX only need
stay in the HAM bands. Any comments on the FT50 vs the W32 ?

Joel

Last week we had a big windstorm and my mast broke.  Down tumbled the Wilson
System 2, etc.  The insurance company will buy whatever I want to replace the
Wilson.  I'm thinking about the Cushcraft ASL-2010, 18ft boom, 20/17/15/12/10
with 6.4db gain or else the Cushcraft A4S, 18ft boom, 20/15/10 with the 40
meter kit with 9db gain.

Gain is such an iffy thing, I'm not too worried about the gain figures.  I'm
just wondering if anyone has tried the ASL antenna, and what would others
recommend?  I want to keep it under $600 or $700.  (poor little old me!)

A friend of mine purchased this 2 meter amp used; minus a manual.
Could anyone supply the max input and output power levels?  He wants
to be sure that it's OK to run 50 watts input power.  Thanks for the help!

All my ham gear was bought there, when I was spending some holidays in
NY, yes, I was waiting for a lot to be attended but I got a good price
for my TS-450-SAT, a MC-60, an ASTRON power supply and a BENCHER paddle
that was sent before by mail to here, Spain, because they didn't have
got it in stock . The only thing I can not believe is how is possible
that a so big city like New York has only one ham shop!, it is
incredible, I think it would be a great deal to open another ham store,
furthermore, NY is the most visited capital in the USA, a lot of hams
from all over the world visited it.

I remember that when I visited NY I was looking for another ham store in
NY without success, then I called to CQ Magazine and a very kind man
informed me that he did not know another ham shop in NY, that man was
John Dorr K1AR (Thanks again John!).

One friend is going there next month, I need a rotor and as I supouse
there is not another ham business there still, I will buy it there.

Okay, fine, sure, right but can it be done? Will the Vx's keypad work on
the 50R? I'm sure doing so will erase the memory of the 50R.

Christopher,

I picked up a Kenwood 79AD(H) a few weeks back.. It is quite an impressiv
device.  It's intuitive to use.  It took someone who has never touched
a ham radio before about 15 minutes to learn how to use it.  THe wide-band
mod was a little difficult to do.

Over all, I'd suggest it.  The Alpha-tagging, over the air cloning, and the
83 channels, as well as ease of use is great.  I also considered the FT-51R
too, and I've found the Kenwood just has more features and is more attractive
than the FT-51R.

I just bought the Icom W32a, so far I like it. I went to the same
proplem as to which HT to buy, I guess I based my selection from
answers on this newsgroup and as a Recommendation of
Rob at Ham radio outlet.
Now I just found out the KEYBOARD mods for this HT, this only gives
your extended RX no TX, I guess this is what you want, here it is:
Press the BAND and SQUELCH at the same time and press and  the power
on button and hold all three for about 5 seconds. That's all!!
You have now from about 100-999 MHZ RX--
Let me know what you decide.  "73"    Stan

Ted,

If your radio supports PL decode/encode, it is pretty easy to find what
PL is being used on the repeaters.  Most often, the repeaters do not filter
the PL tone on the output side of the repeater.  What does this mean?  It
means that the PL tone is reaching your radio.  Simply set your radio
for CTCSS Squelch, so that only one PL at a time is select.  Then spin your
selection dial rapidly so that your radio sequences through the PL's.  As soon
as the signal breaks squelch, you know the tone you've selected is the proper
PL

Now let's assume that the repeater filters the PL's from the output.  Chances
are, you'll have someone within your radio's range of receiving broadcasting
on the input side of the repeater.  If you have anything else rather than
a rubber ducky you should be able to pick up a signal.  Do the PL search
as ssuggested above on the input side.

Too easy.

Display now shows all segments lit, this is okay.
That's all!!
You have now from about 100-999 MHZ RX--
I tried this and it Really works!!

Hi Folks:

    I'm in the process of writing a radio control program specific to
the ICom 706.  I have the information on page 39 of the 706 manual.
However, I'm pretty sure there are additional commands that are not
included in the manual.  For example, I need to discover if there is
a command I can send to the radio that will cause it to report its
current frequency.  I've seen programs do this, but it's not in the
706 manual.

   Please let me know if you have access to more complete documentation
on the interface.

Thanks

John Hansen WA0PTV

FT-990 Transverter Modifications - 11/3/96 AK2F

Disclaimer:
The author provides this modification on an information basis only and is not
responsible for any damage that might occur due to your acutual implimentation
.

In order to operate the FT-990 with transverters, it is necessary to bring the
 RF driver level signal to the back panel, and to force the on condition for e
xternal receive antenna.

1. Unplug radio and remove top an bottom covers using a phillips head screwdri
ver.
2. From the top of the unit, locate a 7 conductor plug along the center of the
 back panel.  This is J6808.  Cut the middle wire (white color), and attact tw
o switching type diodes according to the schematic.  The anode side of one dio
de should still be disconnected at this point.
3. Install a small 12 volt DPDT relay in a nearby location (I ultimately encap
sulated mine in shring wrap tubing).
4. Connect  one end of the relay coil to ground (can use pin 7 of J6808).  The
 other end of the relay coil should be connected to the floating diode in step
 2 and to a legnth of wire.  We will call this wire ôtransverter onö.
5. Remove the electrical tape covering the Accessory hole on the back of the r
adio.  Mount an RCA type phono jack with large washers at this location, with
a 6 inch legnth of RG-174 type coax snaking up to the RX antenna jack area.
6. Carefully remove the left most PC board - 'RF Unit' and unsolder coax jack
J1004.  Solder a small run of RG-174 appropriately in itÆs place, replacing th
e board in itÆs original slot when complete.
7. Connect this drive signal to the relay as shown in the schematic diagram.
8. Solder the cable/jack assembly to the relay as shown.
9. Solder the coax going to the rear panel to the relay as shown.
10. Attach a 50 ohm resistor to the relay as shown.  This will provide a termi
nation to the power amp when in the transverter mode. (note: it may be possibl
e to eliminate the 50 load, and use a SPDT relay insted, but it was my prefere
nce to provide extra isolation).
11. Bring the 'transverter on' wire from step 4 out one of the spare mounting
holes near the accessory hole.  Attach an appropriate connector.  By connectin
g this to +12 volts inside your transverter, the FT-990 will automatically swi
tch from HF to VHF.

Parts list:
2 switching diodes
DPDT 12 volt relay
RCA phono jack (bulkhead type)
2 large washers with inside hole appropriate for phono jack
50 ohm resistor
1 foot RG-174 type coax cable
hook-up wire

Your logic sucks. There is nothing illegal about driving in a public

The complete part 95 rules can be found online at   http://law.house.gov/cfr.h
tm

(yes, the last is cfr.htm  'not' cfr.html)


When you are in this web site do a search on FCC PART 95.
after the search, the index to part 95 is listed as:
PART 95 PART 95 personal Radio Services Subpart A - General Mobile Radio Servi
ce.

You will have to do a search on some of the subparts to compile the entire tex
t.
It is not all in the same place for some reason, but I was able to piece the w
hole
text together.

If you want it I can e-mail it to you. I deleted the CB and R/C parts that do
not
pertain directly to GMRS.

Excuse me, 'wide open space' on 222 MHz?  Then why did the last 220 SMA meetin
g
feature a hearing due to a denial of freq. coordination to a repeater on Blue
Ridge, and why were there 2 freq. coordinators on 222 MHz in So. Cal. for a
while?  The 222 MHz band may not be used as much as 2 meters, but it's stuffed

full of repeaters.  There is some room on 6m, but it's awfully noisy.

I'm not sure we can blame Mike for the mess on 446.65.  He is only a pawn of
SCRRBA, which apparently decided that the frequency shall not have an 'open'
repeater on it.  The 'warning' transmitter cites references to SCRRBA
coordination, but makes no mention of possible coordination of KJ6TQ by other
freq. coordination entities, so it is not accurate to say that any other
repeater on the freq. is uncoordinated.

I own the short NCG/Comet SMA-501 stubby and use it on my FT-50 as my
high attenuation Fox hunting antenna.  I can hear the local repeaters
but can not talk to them with the stubby.  I consider it a
receive-only antenna, and a poor receiver at that.

I also own the longer NCG/Comet SMA-3, which you did not mention.  It
is the best SMA duck I have thus far encountered.  It far outperforms
the Yaesu FT-50R's stock rubber duck, both on transmit and on receive.
I highly recommend it.

The SMA-501 measures about 4 S-meter units lower than the SMA-3 on my
FT-50R when listening to the same repeater.  If an FT-50R's S-meter
uses the standard 6 dB per S-unit (and I have no idea whether it does
or not), then the SMA-501 is approximately 24 dB worse than the SMA-3
on receive in the VHF band.  I have not compared the two on UHF.

While we are asking about antennas for my beloved little Yaesu FT-50R,
I would love to learn of a SMA based extendible VHF 1/2 wave or dual
band I could put onto my FT-50R to get better signal output.  I have
experimented with putting a standard BNC based extendible antenna on
the end of the Yaesu SMA to BNC converter.  Such a combination puts a
frightening lever arm on to the little SMA connector.  I fear I would
tear the SMA free of the radio if I were to bump the converter plus
BNC based antenna against something.  So I am searching for a real SMA
extendible 1/2 wave.  Any pointers to manufacturers or web sites?

While we are on the subject of FT-50R antennas, has anyone tried the
Antennas West idea of sticking a 19.25 inch piece of wire dangling
from the ground connection of the SMA connector to act as a ground
plane for the stick duck to work against?  Did it help?

Does anyone know of a web-site that has reviews or information on various
used pieces of amateur radio equipment?  I know there are some books out
there...it would be appreciated if you have used any of these books, could
you make a recommendation.  I'm a no-code tech, currently working on my
code and looking for my first hf rig...I have a line from a reliable ham
on a used Kenwood TS-530s, but am looking for more info and maybe
something to compare it to.

Any info is appreciated...73

Both Diamond and Comet make replacement rubber ducks that far

Works fine for me, just as documented in the (horrible!) manual.
Remember to put the radio into DTMF mode first.

Wouldn't the ft-51r be a better comparison?

the ft-50r is a less functional ht, i think!!

I am looking to enter the HF arena soon.

With four kids in college, I don't want to over-buy.  In other words, I
want excellent performance and quality, but don't want to spend too much
cash for options that I may not appreciate until I gain more experience.  I
will be General and maybe Advanced by Christmas.  I have little experience
so far.

What products would you look at New?  Used?

How much should I expect to spend?

Can a dipole be installed in a large attic that extends across the house?
The antenna would be at least twenty ft. from the nearest room with people.

I would appreciate any advice.

Does anybody have any experience with the new Icom HF rig IC775DSP? My
brother is considering buying one, but would like any information anyone
would have. Does this unit have instant break-in (able to Rx inbetween
the dots and dashes)?

If you have a Swan tube-type transceiver, you ought to know about
John Bruchey.  He works for Cubic Communications, and has been repairing
tube-type Swan gear since Swan (Cubic) was selling them.

I just sent him my old 500CX "SS16B Special" for a tune-up
and for a vexing problem in the VFO circuit I couldn't find.  It came
back one week from the day I mailed it to him. He did the following:  Two
tubes replaced, one VFO amp coil replaced, installed a factory mod,
cleaned all pots, switches, and relays, did a complete TX
alignment, and did a complete RX alignment.

His charge?  $135.

Wow.  If you have a sick Swan, call John.

Owning a gun  is one thing.
Owning a gun and using it is another.
Do the ends justify the means? It depends on the situation and application.
BTW, you don't think that every gun owners dream is to use the gun illegally d
o you. It's
not mine
There is my logic. Having it and using it...two different things.

There is another mod that even opens more up. Find it soon at

I have an Arcomm AP4 active antenna/preselector. Does anyone have any
experience with this unit and/or possibly have a copy of an operating
manual I might purchase? Thanks, Barry, WA2KLS

I used the CAP/MARS mod then, removing 0 ohm chip.
Got the BAND A1......E1 FREE too.

RX in different band is not continous.

A1  72 -  222 RX         122 - 222 TX
B1  222 - 229 RX         222 - 230 TX
C1  300 - 399 RX         306 - 399 TX
D1  400 - 540 RX         400 - 500 TX
E1  590 - 999 RX         NO TX !

Really deaf in some spots too. Somebody recently posted a sensitivity
test. I don't really have any test gear (ears, scanner only) so I can't
verify squat. Will have it check with a friends IFR soon.

Using stock antenna.

Before you go any further with this take the time to throw your radio
on  a test bench and run it through it's paces in these newfound ranges
on a freq counter and a signal injector. I don't think you'll like what
you find.

it to especially to transmit on 2 & 70 Cm Amateur band? How about with

A correction -- the 8640 is not >>PHASE<< locked. It is >>FREQUENCY<<
locked. When you hit the "lock" button, it reads the frequency
counter and then steers the frequency with a varactor to keep the
same displayed number.

The really good thing with the 8640 was that its cavity controlled
oscillator had exceptional short-term stability and was very "quiet".
I rank it as an exceptionally good signal generator for amateur use!

installing it on top of 50 foot tower.  Any suggestion positive or

 Will the heighth be positive or negative.  He lives in West Virginia,

I'm trying to help an elderly friend repair his Heathkit SB-220 Linear
Amp.  Does anyone know of a source for the rectifier circuit board.  His
had a diode blow up and it burnt a hole clear through it.  I can make up
something but I would rather do a repair that looks better than that.

There is one, but it is kept "in company". I was not published and all
attempts to get the information have been stonewalled. I wouldn't
recommend it in any case....

Well, if this is true - and I have only your word for it - then something
is really awry,
to the best of my knowledge and belief jamming is illegal for hams no
matter what the
circumstances.  I believe that even if the other station were an intruder
you still must not
jam it, but rather take whatever regulatory enforcement action is open.
So in my opinion, if you have evidence that a ham is jamming then you have
a duty to lodge
a formal complaint.   Anyone who intentionally jams should have their
license revoked.
This doesn't mean I take your side your fight over a frequency, it only
means jammers
should be removed from the air.  Now if he were to get up in person on the
frequency,
make a two way contact and politely explain his point of view and request
operators to
vacate the frequency then that would be entirely different.  But
broadcasting is rude and
jamming is, in my opinion, illegal.

Barry Electronics is well known for many years for the worst ham store
in US. I visited ham stores from coast to coast and I wasn't able to found
one so bad.
Advice for foreign ham visitors in US: the best buy is from dealers who sell
by mail / phone / fax . Their prices are cheapest in the market because
they are selling large quantities, the service is excellent and the delivery i
s
very fast. I buyed for the last few years many items  from AES and HRO
and never disappointed. In the most cases the delivery was free and you
don't have to pay VAT. Just make a smart buy: ask for catalogs before,
ask for other hams experience on same items, look for product reviews,
ask for detailed data sheet, check for their warranty policy and repair
facilities. Different reflectors on Internet can help you a lot before you'll
take a decision. Buying hams items in US is cheaper than Europe and
Asia - Japan included - and as far I know, they have best consumer
protection.

I've connected my TH22 at an rf-amplifier (12v @ 10W out)and an 5/8 antenna.
Well,  what happen?....I push, for the first time, the ptt-button and the
rf-amplifier's relay switch well, but immediately... the  TH22's  rf-
mos-fet amplifier (named PF032) was irremediably melted!

Note that this technical try costs about $ 100 !!!

Plese, do you have any idea of the event?

It's the same all over the united states. The mail order chains are
killing the little guys. It will soon become a business consisting of
AES, HRO and Radio Shack :-(

But don't feel too bad, as far as I can tell, the only ham radio
store in the entire country of Israel is in Haifa far away from Tel-Aviv
and Jerusalem.

        Hello !!
        I've heard that Kenwood has come up with a new transceiver,
        the TS-570 . Does anyone has already any info about it, or
        any experience with it. I would like to know if it uses also
        IF-DSP, if it comes to replace the TS-450 or the TS-850 ??
        Technical details is the most important for me, but if you
        know anything about prices that would be apreciated too .

OK, here's my advice (worth what you paid for it, grin)

Look around for a used TS850S/AT by Kenwood.  A lot of the chaps are
selling them right now to upgrade to the TS870 (foolishly, in my opinion).
You can pick up a good one for around $1200.  If bux are really tight,
look around for other used gear, the more recent the better.

Hey all;

I've got a friend that is experiencing a problem with his Shure green
bullet style mic.  He's using it for harmonica amplification using a
Musicman guitar amp.  This normally works well, but he wants to get some
tube type (bluesy) preamp distortion so he's tried several inline type
preamps ranging from solid state BOSS type stomp boxes to a Real Tube
12AX7 type.  Every time he puts anything inline before the amp, he gets
serious feedback problems.  The mic is wired with a Hi Impedence phono
jack.  Can anyone suggest a solution or a work around.  Maybe an inline
transformer?

Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Hi...I am getting ready to upgrade from my good ol' reliable TS-820S to a
more modern rig with WARC capability.  I've noticed that some of the older
top-of-the-line rigs, like the Kenwood TS-940SAT (used) are selling for
prices similar to newer rigs like the Kenwood TS-450SAT (used).

Getting the info on these rigs for a detailed comparison is difficult for
me because some scumbags have removed selected back issues of QST from the
Library.

I'd appreciate the group's comments about old vs new, top-line vs mid-line,
filters, features, options, improvements, etc.

Please post, rather than email.  Thanks!

Howdy,

I replaced my TM-241A with a TM-261A after I went to the Hamvention.  I
have noticed that the brightness of the panel on the 261A is not nearly as
good as the brightness on the 241A.

Also there is only ONE brightness level on the 261A.

Does anyone know of a mod for the 261A which will give better panel
illumination?

Thanks

Hi,

I am interested in hearing from anyone who could comment on how
susceptible the new Direct Satelite TV (the 18 inch dish system)
is to RFI from ham radio.  In particular, does the dish suffer from
front end overload when subject to a nearby, legal limit (power)
station operating on the 10-80 meter bands.
I am considering getting one, but am concerned about the LNA being
overloaded.
TNX,

Kark-
My expierance tells me to use the XLR connectors.  With the right
cable they can handle long runs with out any noise on the audio.
Also, get the mike away from the speeker...also another note, I have
seen guys use a EQ to filter out the feedback at different freqs.  It
was magic to me so don't ask me how it was done...
Good Luck

For 160 ARRL Handbook suggests shorting the shield to the center

Did you try this?  Does it actually work?

Try Halbach Electronics in Florida (they advertise in 73 Mag.) they
carry
a range of repair parts for the 220. I got a voltmeter from them

Greetings, and thanks for reading this.
I have had this little Yaesu FT411-E for three years, it was my first ham
radio.
I have really used it alot, as a base, mobile, portable, and on packet.
It is truly one of the greatest little radios that I have seen.
My problem is this: I only get audio when an external speaker/mike is
plugged in.  I have plugged/unplugged spkr/mic and packet cables
many,many times, and now I guess I must pay the price!:-(
I have to "jiggle" the mike plug sometimes to get the audio to work, so I
think the jack is getting worn out.
My question is do I dare open the radio myself to fix this?  I'm OK on
the HF rig (of course Ten-Tec sends the parts and instructions, bless
'em), but this radio is SMALL!! I still use the radio, but I think it's
just a matter of time!
Any help appreciated.

    IMHO the IC-775 takes it. It has a better receiver when
all the bells and whistles are turned off, and it has all of
the bells and whistles.

Like most FT-50R owners (it would seem), I am looking for a replacement for th
e
stock rubber duck that comes with this fine radio.  Because I already own a
Comet SH-55 that I use for those situations where antenna size is not a
consideration, I am really looking for the best combination of *small size* an
d
performance.

Here is a summary of the antenna recommendations that have been made in the
past -- hopefully someone who is knowledgeable about the subject can respond
with advice on a clear winner.  "SMA"-style connnectors are a plus.

EXY-450 dualband duck from Centurion (BNC).
SMA-3 dualband duck from Comet (SMA).
SMA501 from Comet (SMA) -- "Miracle Baby redone for SMA".
Standard C508 mini HT factory antenna replacement (SMA).
Icom FAS-2/70 (SMA).

Many thanks in advance for those who take the time to respond!

My Sony ICF-SW 7600 radio (Italian version) covers the following frequency
range 150-285 KHz step 3 KHz, 531-1602 KHz step 9-10 KHz selectable,
3850-26100 KHz step 5 KHz, 88-108 MHz FM step 50 KHz.

The American version of the same radio covers the LF,MF and HF frequencies
with the range 150-29995 KHz. I would liKE to obtain the same HF frequency
range as that available on the American version but the frequencies
1602 - 3850 KHz and 26100 - 29995 KHz are not receivable on the Italian versio
n!

The radio is controlled by CPU, it has a PLL utility, is equipped with a
keyboard and can store 10 items in memory. The receiever is 48055 and 455 KHz
double version and demodulates AM and SSB.

At power on the CPU checks the jumper configuration (LW, step 9-10 KHz in MW,
SW, FM). Setting the LW jumper to OFF extends the frequency range from 285 to
531 KHz, while setting the FM jumper to OFF extends the FM range from
76 to 88 MHz step 100 KHz. Setting the SW jumper to ON or
OFF has no effect, the frequency range remains 3850-26100 KHz in both cases.

* Does anybody have the ICF-SW 7600 schematics?

* Does anybody know how to extend the frequency range from 1602 to 3850 KHz
   and 26100 to 29995 KHz?

Please send your reply to my e-mail address, as detailed below.

Thanks.

Hello ALL

I have moved my Winpack web page to a new location.  It previously
resided at Healey communications and it is now on Acay.

ALL files are operational including force17.zip !!  I have added a TPK
page to cater for the unexpected demand in TPK addons.

As always, FEEDBACK is welcome !  Hopefully with the help of N0MTH,
I'll be able to  add a Winpack FAQ section.  I am also considering
adding a TSTHOST or/and WinTnc page if there is enough demand and
there are enough addons available to make it worthwhile !

New page @ www.acay.com.au/~vk2yx

If anyone is experiencing problems getting to the welcome page, try
www.acay.com.au/~vk2yx/welcome.html

If you DO have problems, please e-mail me so I can let my ISP know..

Can someone kindly point me to a tutorial on the Bird 43 watt meter.  Just
got one used without a manual.  They look very simple to use.

I do have a RF Sampler fitted - what range out output does this have? -
would hate to blow my frequency meter or o-scope.!

Thanks a million for reading.

   Funny you should mention that. I tested a bunch of VHF and UHF FM
   rigs a few years ago to find out what their S-meter characteristics
   were. Turns out that all of them had a characteristic that was
   approximately 1 S-meter "Bar" or "Light" = 1 or 2 dB.
   So the 6dB rule clearly does not apply. Basically, what this means
   is that the S-meter covers a fairly narrow range, perhaps 10 dB
   or so.

   Or the other hand, I checked my Kenwood TS-430 hf rig and it was
   almost dead nuts on the 6 dB per S-unit curve.

Dear Jim:

They're okay, but it really helps to have metal ground instead of
glass.   Is your car's body metal?  If so, use a mag mount or trunk
mount 2 meter or dual-band antenna.   If not, and, you're so inclined,
have a professional trailer hitch company weld a small metal hitch
tongue to your car's chassis and mount a traditional 2 meter or dual
band antenna, behind the bumper.   I've seen composite cars, like
Camaros and Corvettes, use that with great success.   Also, make sure
your car's computer won't fritz when you key it up.    That's a whole
'nother game altogether.   Glass-mounts will work, but it's not the
same.  I'd use one only as a last resort.

Sorry if this is a FAQ.....

I'd like to build an automatic voice IDer to either run a fox
transmitter or to call CQ on 2m FM simplex/SSB.  I looked up the
article in QST from April 95, but would rather have something
utilizing the Radio Shack voice chips.  Pointers to other resources
(esp. those on the net) would be nice.

E-mail copies of responses appreciated.

I leave in Eagle Rock and always used the MARS repeater using high
power mobile rig.  Lately I can't even make a call.  You people are the
ones who are suppose to go to 222 MHz because those people got their
first. I too got intimimated with that QST, gave a call to one of MARS
people, it's phony.  I wouldn't even give a damn to SCARA or whoever in
that Santiago Peak group.  Oh well, Mr. Dengler, KE6TZF is Sunset Ridge
Repeater group.  You're one of those people jamming.  I was wondering
may be you people are getting a lot high power RF's being radiated
right in your head like those guys at 147.435?  If you've been using
MARS 446.650, would this mess will make you happy?  I should say 73 but
don't which is appropriate this time.  May be KJ6TQ would no better...

Howdy Bob --

Bird takes their customer service seriously.  They're a great
corporation.  Just give them a call in Solon (Cleveland) Ohio and
request an operator's manual.  They will very likely send you one
cheaply or free -- just make sure to have the model number.

BTW you won't hurt your scope or counter just plug it in and go to
town.

Neither sounds all that great on cw transmitt. The MP will chirp on the
first character if used full power above 20 meters and the 775 sounds
pretty ragged on qsk. All the signals from 870's I've heard sound good as
well as the new 570 which looks like a much better deal to me.

Seems like the manufactures generally are not concerned with how cw sounds
on the other end. It's a shame to hear a $4000 rig sound like a 40 year
old Knight kit built by some kid. Sure the receivers all sound good but
for 4 G's shouldn't we be able to transmitt a simple cw signal that
doesn't sound like mush?

I've used a glass mount (was Antenna Specialists, think they
might have changed names?) on my Taurus sine 1987. Before
that had uses a 1/4 wave trunk-lip mount and before that
a 5/8 wave trunk-lip mount. From time to time I use a 1/4
wave mag-mount on my wife's van. My experience is that the
BEST performing antenna is the roof-mounted 1/4 wave mag
mount, which I attribute to high, unobstructed location
with a wide ground plane. The closest to that was the 5/8
trunk mount. The glass mount is roughly equivalent to the
1/4 wave trunk mount. Given its higher, less obstructed
location I would assume it is a bit less effecient.

Still, it is a clean installation requiring no holes and
no coax to be pinched through trunk or door gaskets. It
is satisfactory and I plan to install another on my new
Explorer.

Good luck and welcome to the air!

I replaced my stock FT-50R's stock rubber duck with the ICOM FA-S270A,
which is a replacement antenna for the ICOM T21A.  My main concern was how
tall the stock antenna was.  I was looking for something smaller to make
the radio less conspicuous and generally easier to deal with.  Most of my
repeater work is close in and I have no problem hitting them.  The
FA-S270A is about half the size of the stock FT-50R antenna, and even
though I have done no testing with any meters (sorry, I am still
relatively new to all this) I can say that I have noticed very little
difference in TX or RX.  I got it from HRO and I remember it costing
around $24.

Good luck and 73's...

I have an early s/n (6E03XXXX).  The resistor removal mod works on my
rig just like described for the newer models.  Removing the resistor
allows the user to choose the radio type as described.

Hi,

The S meter reading of the crystal calibrator at the 200 position on
the VFO is 6 S units lower than at the 0 position of the VFO even
though it is peaked with the tuning control.
This also carries over to transmitting where I can't get output at the
200 position on the VFO.  This is true on all bands.

Sounds like an alignment problem, but doing an alignment on one band,
80 meters, didn't help that band.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Conrad   [e-mail]

I have a friend who has an FT890 that is cutting out for no apparent
reason.  Stays off for a while then comes back on.
It "is not" an SWR problem.
Anyone that knows if there is a service bulletin or how to solve this
can contact W0TNV - Jim at [e-mail] (the guy with the problem)
or reply on the newsgroup or direct to me.
Thanks

Thanks, Bob, there's just no substitute for real data, i.e., "one test

This is not true all of the manufacturers also require a sales receipt
with a warranty card to establish date of sale. Without a dealer's
receipt the warranty card is just another hunt of paper, makes a good

I believe there was a thread about these two radios a while back, but I
wasn't in the market for an HF radio then, so please pardon the request.

I'm a Tech+ now, but should be an Extra next week if I'm lucky (or at
least an Advanced) and I'm in the market for an HF radio. These two
particular radios interest me because they both also cover 6m (and the
IC-706 covers 2m also).

I'll mainly use the radio at home, but will occasionally go mobile as well.

I wanted to get started in HF, but also experiment with 6m and maybe some
satellite stuff in the future. How suitable is the IC-706 for satellite
operation?

Do I really need 100 watts on 6m? (DX-70T vs. DX-70TH).

What is a good mobile antenna for either radio? What about an antenna for
a limited space situation? (I live in a townhouse).

I got an updated brochure on the IC-706, and they changed the receive
coverage from 30KHz to 200MHz to 30KHz to 120MHZ + 2m. Does this radio
have a problem between 148MHz and 200 MHz?

Five Watts is NOT the legal limit on 6m.  However, the FCC will not give
type-acceptance to power amplifiers for the 6m band because it's too easy
to modify them to work on 11m CB.  This is the same reason that HF amps
don't come with 10m and 12m from the factory.  Licensed amateurs may buy
upgrade kits to install themselves, but the factory can't do it.

There's no law that forbids YOU, the amateur, from building a 6m amp.
Ten-Tec just can't sell you one.

I know there are a few amps on the market (Mirage, etc), but they are
grandfathered because they were on the market before the FCC ruling came
into being.

I live in Germany and I have bought and sold a few times via the net.
When buying, I send cash first (not too much at once) and wait for
the equipment. I never had any problems this way, but I only buy
things I know, so I can verify the seller's claims before buying.

Today I picked up an IC-502 with amplifier and power supply from
customs and got what I was promised - a working radio, used but
cared for, with manuals. This neat little gadget was travelling
for about six (6) weeks, but arrived safely. Sure, there are
some dishonest people around, but they can be easily spotted
since they don't know much about the equipment they're selling.

Just my $.02,
        Jens, DB9LL

If this radio PLL is like the older 745 or R7000, it may be corrosion in the
PLL trimmer caps.  My 745 sometimes goes bonkers on some PLL bands.  What I
have to do is take an adjustment tool and turn the PLL caps trimmer caps
back and forth a bi to clean up the corrosion,... care must be taken to
remember where the cap was originally set.

Conrad,

Check your VFO output level at that position compared to where the operation
is normal.  Low output level can mean reduced power output on transmit and
reduced sensitivity on receive.  Use a high-impedance voltmeter or 10X scope
probe with enough bandwidth to measure the frequency involved.

I'm also looking to buy ft-51r or th-79 so could anyone else give more
detailed info on them, I prefere ft-51r more because it looks better it
has also backlit keypad and mic is at the bottom of the radio.

Just about everything in the above post is totally wrong. Command
Technologies, the company of Patrick N8BRA, showed a prototype of its
6m 3CX800A7 amp at Dayton this year and started shipping the units
after gaining FCC approval at the end of September.  There is NO
restriction on gaining a Type Acceptance for a new 6m amps.

> Amateur radio operator KC5NG, Extra Class, VE (ARRL/W5YI)

What a (bad) joke.  You should know how to read section 97.317 which
restricts the permitted gain of HF Amplifiers only between 24Mhz and
35MHz and not between 50MHz and 54MHz.

Looks like the problem might be VFO out put. It remains level at about
1.5v rf from 0 to 100 on the dial and then drops gradually to 1v at
200 on the dial.  Wonder how one fixes this?

From your schematic diagram it appears that you were transmitting directly
into your power supply! An inductor in series with the 12V line would have
blocked RF going into ground via the power supply connection. I wouldn't
recommend this configuration however. As soon as your 5/8 wave antenna
contacts the body of your car, sparks are gonna fly and you'll have a nifty
arc welder!

Conrad seemed to get some good info about his KWM-2 problem, so I'll ask about

mine.

Mine works fine except that the ALC voltage is much higher than spec. The
manual says if it's more than -1.8v then replace the tube. Well, mine runs
about -4.5v (technically, that's a lot lower than -1.8v but I'm pretty
sure they mean higher in absolute value terms). Replacing the ALC tube makes
no difference. This really limits the power output so much that I'm running a
QRP KWM-2. If I short the ALC to ground (which is what happens in the TUNE and

LOCK positions) I get lots of power out. I don't really want to run that way,
tho.

Any suggestions what to check? I don't see any obvious problems (smoked
components, etc.). Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

If you operate Amateur Radio from you bike, I'd like to know about the
equipment you're using.

I would like to use a Kenwood HT and am curious about the stock headset
and helmet compatibility.  Also, what are you using for a weather proof
PTT switch on the bars.

Finally, did you make a custom wiring harness or find something "off-the-
shelf".

I have one myself.  There is only one mod and it is listed in the
operations manual regarding MAR/CAP extended frequency transmit.
Other than that, I have search high and low and come up empty handed.
After fully considering the actual use of an 'opened transmitter', I
said to mysel, "Why, all my communications are in the HAM bands".  I
have not heard anything interesting in the extended receive scan mode...
so why would I want to transmit there?  My rhymes and reasons may be
different than your, but the modification does not offer me anything
that I don't have.

I would highly discourage the use of gasoline for a solvent.  Gasoline
as you know is highly flamable and when you use it in an open
container or on a rag, the vapors are dense.  Perfect conditions for a
n easily ignited fire.  You are flurting with danger and a very
serious accident.  The risk of bodily injury or property damage is not
worth the savings in time or money in not using a proper cleaning
agent that is none flameable.  Nearly everybody that has been burned
by gasoline said they were being careful at the time of the accident.

There has to be a better and safer product to remove sealant.  Keep
looking.

Perhaps one of the multiplier stages is mistuned and "snaps" off after
heating a bit.

Damned lawyers  - Typical attitude. I doubt that his  livelihood depends on a
few crummy dollars a year from the wireheads (ARRL/SBE).  He'd be much better
off just ignoring a few comments in a newletter with a tiny circulation.

Although perhaps an not entirely appropriate question in this news group,
I need some info on this particular FM tuner of which I have recently
become an owner. The multiple outputs and inputs seem useful but I have no
idea as to what. :-)

Sincerely,

Help, I need some information: I have a Packard Bell Legend 402CD
and want to hook up a PK-88 TNC. I am using a modem cable attached to
the serial port in the back which is supposed to be used for the remote
control, however I don't have a remote and wish to use it for the
packet. When I switch on the TNC , nothing happens, I am using the
hyperterminal for the communications program, What port is this serial
port on? Why doesn't it work? I would appreciate any help!!! e-mail all
replies to [e-mail]

Thank You!!

I had the same problem with my 440 and one of the reasons I moved up
to a 450 was the ability to run in FSK mode. That cured the problem.

Does your MFJ have an FSK output? If so connect that to pin 2 of the
13 pin DIN plug.

Yup, it sure does work.   And if you find 869 to 894 Mhz blanked out, try
tuning from 960 to 982Mhz.

James,
 I am using the Larsen KulGlass antenna.  It is a 5/8 wave through the
glass antenna.  Previously I had used a Radio shack 5/8 wave mag mount
on the roof... There seems to be no difference in reception or xmission
distance, and the install is clean and doesn't scratch the paint... I
paid 61.00 from AES.
Welcome to the air!

Later,
Dave

Anyone have any mods, especially for the Rx amp, for the
R/S 30 watt, 2 Meter amp (with Helical Resonator).  The Receive

Got some mail from the marketer, apparently a holdup in the

You might pick up an ARRL Source Book (I think that's what it's called).
It's a collection of QST reviews on a variety of commercial rigs.  I
think there are two or three volumes out now.

There is another HAM store in NYC.  It's called Radio Depot and it's

I have a 30S1 which has an intermittent problem causing the HV to drop
out.  Usually it takes several tramsmissions for the problem to show up
which would seem to be a thermal problem.   I have bypassed the thermal
switch in the air stream but the HV dropped out anyway.  So I thought
the problem was in the over current protection circuit - I run 1500 wt
out although the problem occurs at 1000w level also.  Suddenly the amp
started acting normal again.  Could it be dirty relay contacts?  Any
other suggestions? Contact me here or direct at [e-mail]

I am considering the purchase of a new HF amp. Does anyone have any
experience with the Commander HF2500. I would like input on other brands
in this class also.

Hello,I need transverters to use my HF transceiver on 144,432 and 1296 MHz:
who can help me sending info on available kits?
(Of course,if you knpw for transverter for upper frequencies,let me know
also...BUT i only have an HF transceiver,SO the IF must be 28 MHz...)
I like very much building  and testing antennas,and I need the right
equipemnt for V/U/SHF to do this...(naturally,I can build a kit
transverter,too!!!)
Every message will be WELCOME !

Thank you in advance,
IK5WQO Riccardo
(available on 80,40,20,15 and 10 mt (ssb & CW) bands...for now !)

Hi Gary,I am IK5WQO and I am an happy owner of a small Kenwood TS-50:it is
very compact,it is powerful and not much expensive,and I enjoy this
transceiver very much,working from 80mt to 10 mt bands( not 160 and
WARC,because I haven't antennas...)
It can be used with AT-50,the small antenna tner,wich is the same size of
the transceiver...Good work on HF bands,and ...hope to hear you on the
bands!
(P.S.:i work both phone and CW,and,after about 3 months of activity,I have
more tan 100 countryes worked...and all with dipole antennas,or vertical
from the car,or also magnetic loop(very compact antenna,works very vell
for its size!!!)

Yes, you need to stablize the mast. You can do that with
wire cables to the tower legs, wooden blocks wedged to
the tower legs, etc. Cables with turnbuckles are probably
the best approach. They can be tensioned to hold the mast
well centered, and won't be dislodged by the wind torquing
on the antenna.

>Also, if the hex set screws that fix the mast clamp

Before you *touch* the first screw, soak them in Liquid
Wrench for 24 hours. Use a well fitting hex bit and a
hand impact driver (available at Sears). The impacts will
work the screws loose without torquing them off or ruining
the heads. Be patient, don't use an air wrench, just keep
tapping away. If the screws are really stubborn, heating
with a propane torch and resuming impacts can often help.

If you do torque off a screw, you'll have to resort to the
EZ-out or drill them out completely (which will force you
to retap the housing for a larger screw when you put it back).
If you just wallow out the socket, then you can weld in an
extension hex bit and work the screw out with vicegrips.
Neither of these methods is easy when high on a tower. Best
is to avoid torquing the screw off or wallowing the head in
the first place. Don't use worn hex bits. Make sure you have
a really tight fit. If necessary, upset or grind a bit to be
a perfect tight fit before you start. Use an impact driver,
don't just crank on a hex wrench with a cheater bar. A few
extra minutes of preparation can save you hours of frustration
later.

  I bought the UT-101 DTMF option for my IC-2000H today but it doesn't seem to

work! Are there any known problems with this option? I know another ham who
has it and HE can't get it to work either. If anyone can help me figure this
thing out I'd appreciate it. I installed it properly and I'm following the
instructions but no luck. One of the many things this does is let you punch in

freqs from the mic keypad. This should be standard on all rigs in my opinion.

Anyone know of any mods to the FT-3000 that does anything like the FT-50
mods do? These are both new, high tech radios, you would think they
could have similar capibilities. So, Anyone know?

Hello Everyone,

Any comments on the Hygain DX-77 multi-band vertical for HF. How did you
like the instructions for putting it together? How were the materials?
How does it perform as compared to other antennas you currently use?
Overall satisfaction? I had the Cushcraft R-7. I thought it was just ok.
I had a butternut ground mounted vertical that would consistently out
perform the R-7 on 40 and 30 meters. I had both of the antennas working
at the same time to make the comparison. Just some general overall
comments would be appreciated about the DX-77

Doug, K8DK

Mark: check capacitor C 157.  That could be a source of negative voltage
on the ALC line.

Let me know if that helps.

        I had this same problem, and got a 2-foot length
of steel angle iron (about 2" x 2" sides, 3/8 thick) and mounted two
3" muffler clamps projecting outside the angle, and then
mounted one much smaller clamps on the same side.  I placed
the bottom flat on the tower rungs, and clamped the mast in the
3" clamps (I have a 3" mast, you might use smaller clamps).  Then
I used the other one clamp to secure the angle iron to one of the
tower legs (it projected out through the angle iron on the same
side and in the same direction as the mast clamps). This held a
*VERY* big antenna array quite securely through a number of subsequent
high winds.

        I will echo Gary's comments on the hex screws that
bind the mast clamp to the mast.  The screw that bound the
mast clamp to the 'D' key on the rotator shadt was frozen,
and even drilling it out did not free the clamp (it merely
messed up the 'D' key enough so that it would not budge.  I
ended up hack-sawing off the rotator shaft.  There is little
room, so you need one of those mickey-mouse looking hacksaw blade
holders.  This whole episode took 7 hours on the top of the tower,
and is not highly recommended.

I have been out of ham radio for seven years and am now buying equipment
to resume the hobby.  In searching for an HF amp. I have found a Henry
2KD5 locally.  It is cosmetically like new, wired for 220 v., has the 10
meter kit installed, and shows about 1400 watts output with 100 watts of
drive.

The person selling the amp is asking $900.  I need some input here, is
that a fair price?  Any constructive comments would be appreciated.

Ken Sturgill, KC4IH

Typical, it is not. While it is true that it use audio DSP (not IF) is
is a very good design. THe radio has excellent N/R (better than 870) and
the CW filter is optional. The recvr is very clean and easy to use and
menu driven. The CW auto tune is very slick and the radios
construction/layout is superb (much,much simpler and cleaner
design/layout than the 450) Also the hole chassis is cast aluminum and
used as heat sink. It's hands on performance is very impressive. I have
had one apart and actually talked with the engineer that designed and
built it!

P1 and P2 are not used on this radio. I guess this mic is used on other models

as well. ACC, whatever it means, toggles which half of the radio you are
controlling.

The LED on the mic is to indicate your are pushing a DTMF button. The radio
makes no sound while you are pushing the DTMF tones, so this is your only
indication.

No. Basically all you can do with the mic is PTT, toggle left or right radio,
and generate DTMF. Kind of a let down if you like to remote control the radio,

eh? If you really want to remote control the radio, you might take a look at
the FT-8500. I don't know what you can or can't do on it, but it has buttons
out of control on it's mic.

Hello James, I use a ProAm GM270 glass mount with my Kenwood TM732.
It seems to perform just as well as my Comet B20 mag mount, although
the ProAm is a much thinner whip and tends to flop around when mobile.
This causes weak signals to fade into the noise, but works fine on the
local repeaters.

Hi, Can anyone with a late 70's, or 80's catalog find the price of this
  kit?  I have one that's still unbuilt and very curious what it cost...

Tnx, Glen K6GK

Cut the green wire by the speaker to get full TX/RX and reset. You can't
miss it. The mod is the same for the 8500 as well. Good luck

I will be soon flying overseas & taking my 2-Meter HT with me
(yes, I have the reciprocal license).  However, rather than constantly
re-charge the NiCad on 220v with a transformer, I've elected to take
an AA battery back with me.  I can get a much better deal on "heavy-
duty" (non-alkaline) batteries -- but would 3 watt transmitting eat
them up very rapidly?  Is it better to spend more for alkalines?
Batteries are expensive where I'm going so I want to take alone a
2 week supply.  As far brand names, any preferences? Duracell better
than Energizers? Third party brands?
Much appreciate any advice.

Abraham,

  I travel a lot and just went through the same questions, so I ran
a few tests.  I in no way claim that they were scientific, so my findings
are likely suspect in any close analysis, but here goes:

The "Heavy Duty" carbon cells are significantly poorer than are the
alkalines.

The regular carbon cells are pitiful compared to either Heavy Duty
carbons or alkalines.  My battery icon came on after a couple of minutes
or transmit on my FT-50R.

Alkalines are a better value and last long enough more to compensate
for their higher price.

Among the alkaline cells, Duracells, Radio Shack, and Energizers perform
about the same.

I now buy any of the latter, based on which is the best price.

Regards!

As another comment, I have tried the RAY O VAC "renewal" cells, which are
rechargeable alkalines.

These cells are really optimized for low current drain applications. In a
receiver they are excellent - I have gotten many charge cycles from the AA
size in small receiver applications. However, for transmit usage they are
not very good at all, particularly after the first discharge cycle. They
seem to have high internal resistance. The Ray O Vac documentation describes
this situation, so it is not a suprise, but they are not a good alternative
to NiCads or NiMh for transceivers and transmitters.

What about the rechargable Alkaline's from Ray-O-Vac?  I use them on my
sons toys, but haven't tried them on any of my radio or camera gear.

They do poorly in high current situations such as HT transmit.

I have.  I thought enough of them that I wrote an article about them for
use in aviation handhelds and published it in Kitplanes magazine.  They are
absolutely the best thing since bottled beer and sliced bread.

True.  If you've got a "hi-power" ht, you are out of luck.  The AA series
will put out half an amp or so, but poo out pretty fast above that level.
But my original post still stands.  For most "normal" ht work, they are
just fine.

I have never used alkaline batteries on my trips to France.  However,
depending on the amount of transmitting you plan to do, it might be
wiser just to take a few battery packs and charge one while using the
other.

Even the generic brands of alkaline batteries perform well (such as the

Hello Everybody,
  I am interested in buying a 10 meter HT. I have seen a few at a
local Hamfest a couple years ago and decided not to buy them, which
was a mistake.
  If you, or somebody you know, has a 10 meter HT for sale for a
reasonable price, please e-mail me! I would appreciate it.

Tony was correct as far as he went. There are many other limitations, even
more than you mentioned.

The important point is Ten Tec was wrong, it is legal to sell a type
accepted 6 meter PA.

Not totally wrong.  The FCC will not grant a type acceptance to a 6M if
can be modified easily to operate on 11M.  Now if Command Technologies
now has an accepted 6M amp they can sell it without a problem.  The only
thing that was really wrong with KC5NG's comments was he seemed to infer
that ALL 6M can be easily modified.

Yes, there are restrcitions on gaining a type acceptance for a 6M amp.
And if amp is not designed within those restrictions, it will not be
accepted.

And YOU should take a look at 97.315 which puts type acceptance
requirements on all amps that operate below 144 MHz.

Yes, I did exaggerate somewhat.  However the entire point of his
posting was to say that say that Ten-Tec legitimately took their
curious position on account of the fact that FCC Type Acceptance was
simply not available for new 6m amplifiers and that all amplifiers
now on the market were grandfathered.  And he also mis-stated that
grandfathering required only that the amplifier was in production
prior to the waiver date (which BTW is April 28, 1978).  The fact is
that there was no grandfathering of 1978 designs, only completely
manufactured and finished amplifiers were eligible for waiver.
There was grandfathering of designs in the Technical Standards rules
on spurious emissions in S97.307, but none in S97.315 which is the
section which covers Type Acceptance of RF Amplifiers.

> Yes, there are restrcitions on gaining a type acceptance for a 6M amp.

> accepted.

To say that complying with the rules of Type Acceptance is a
restriction on gaining Type Acceptance is a curious use of language.
So maybe learning to drive is a `restriction' on getting a pass in an
auto drivers exam?

These regulations are laid out in very simple (probably 8th Grade?)
English in Part 97.317, and I'll be pleased to email them to anyone
interested. Maybe someone at Ten-Tec will take me up on the offer :-)

They need to be simplified then. They are too complex for today's

altavoz: I find it encredible that the US allows unlicensed
C.B. to transmit at a freq which will skip off the ionosphere.
 Most intelligent countries put CB at UHF where distance is
strictly limited .

    Does anyone out there have any experience with the AEA FAX III WeFax
package? Do you need to have a downconverter and dish to use the package?
It can't be as simple as plugging it in, hooking it to the hf rig and getting
weather sat pics. Or is it that simple? Any help appreciated!

        I have the AEA FAX III.  You simply plug it into the Record Output of the
Reciever.  But it not only does WEFAX but also does, Morse Code, RTTY, and
Fec/Navtex with the software that comes along with it.  There is an option
Software Upgrade which will allow you to do ACARS.  Hopes this helps

  Yes it is that easy because you are receiving the post proccess

Tom,

The AEA FAX III just needs an HF RX and a computer.  It works fairly well
for the simple circuit (it is merely a threshold detector), but given good
band conditions, you can get great ictures.  Try around 9090 KHz for a good
signal or check around for one of the East Cost marine WEFAX stations.

Some of them retransmit satellite pictures with a pretty good result.  Good
luck trying to keep your computer and monitor from generating too much RFI!

Greetings,
 I felt compelled to make the truth known about this Alinco radio "deal" that
has
 been causing some controversy on the newsgroups. This is ALL off the record
 and I will not respond to any E-mail regarding this matter. The purpose of
making the following information public is to serve my fellow amateurs and to
put
 this issue to rest once and for all.
 Some radios were sold to a group of individuals who were to export these unit
s
to Europe or Mexico. Some of the radios are new in the box, some are not. All
the radios were discontinued models from the early 90's. After hearing rumors
of
 the radios possibly making their way back into the country ( even after being

reasured by the buyers that this would not happen ) it was decided to remove
the serial numbers and make a list of the the radios incase any did in fact ma
ke it
back into the States and where in need of service. These units would not be
serviced. Well, as you can see, there has been numerous offers to sell these
radios on these newsgroups and other forums. Personally, it's very upsetting t
o
see an opportunity to promote amateur radio to some less fortunate countries
turn into a money making oportunity for some "sad" individuals who can't even
 keep their word. The facts are these radios were not to be sold in the US...i
t's
sounds like they are. These individuals lied to Alinco and who knows what they
 will say or do to sell these units. It is my hope as a true amateur radio ope
rator
that anysolicitation to sell these radios on these newsgroups or any other for
um
 in the United States be boycoted by ALL amateurs and non-amateurs alike.
These individuals cannot be trusted and they should not be rewarded for their
misdeeds to the amateur community. I hope this has giving enough of you the
information you need and I truely hope this matter will be put to rest. Thank
you
for your time to read this.

               Respectively submitted,
         Scott Booth, KC6TTR /  Alinco USA

I never trust creeps that advertise large quantities of stuff in multiple
newsgroups anyway. If they are too cheap to pay for ads in publications
something usually smells.

In the most recent issue of "World Radio," I saw a preliminary review
of the Alinco DJ-S41T mini-handie-talkie.  Anybody know much about it?
It is a 340mw 440 miniature HT.  I checked it out on Alinco's webpage,
but does anyone have one?  Are they available yet?!

The list price is supposed to be under $150!  Wow!  And I saw it listed
on Ross Distrubuting (Idaho) for $135.  I think I need one!

Anybody have any experience with it yet?!

I've solved the DTMF problem. Electronic Rainbow had the AT&T 123A
electronic dialer on sale at the show. This is a tiny acoustically
coupled DTMF memory dialer. I wasn't sure it would work, but I tried
it with my C508A and it works like a charm. It only has 9 memories,
but that's enough for me, and it can be used manually too, of course.
I've added it, and a rubber band, to my low power HT pack (a soft
cellphone holster). Also in my pack ride a spare pair of alkaline
AA cells, and strapped to it the Comet SMA-3 antenna (a *real* range
booster for the little C508A).

The little C508A looks more than a bit ridiculous with the tall
Comet antenna and the TT pad fastened to it with a rubber band,
but it allows me to use the radio on occasion as more than a remote
mic for my mobile rig (that's how I normally use the radio, the
vehicle's dualbander acts as a crossband link to get me into
distant repeaters as long as I'm fairly nearby with the HT and
its stock stubby dummy load).

The radio is indeed available. My brother-in-law purchased one from RT
Systems (Hunsville, AL) at the Stone Mountain, GA Hamfest and he likes
it. It is not as small as the Standard C508A, but there are two things
I really liked about it. First, the antenna arrangement is nice. It
just folds over out of the way and flush with the radio body. It stays
connected, so I suppose you could wait for a call with the radio in
your shirt pocket and then fold it out when you are ready to transmit.
(Have not tried that, though.) That takes care of a concern I always
have: It is inconvenient to carry a radio with the antenna attached,
but repeatedly removing and putting it back on wears out the BNC (or
whatever). The second thing was the price. Performance? He passes
through my area frequently on business, and I am surprised that he has
the range to hit the local repeaters pretty well. It does better than
I would expect for the power level. Things I don't like are : no DTMF.
Just like the C508A. Sure wish they would put a DTMF memory of some
sort, even if they couldn't put the keypad. Also, it could be a little
smaller. OK, so that last one was pretty picky. Now how about a dual
band version? Price it less than $175. Put me down for one - I can't
resist cute new toys like that.

I too like the C508A when I first saw it but I just cant stray from my
Yaesu Ft-11. Its got a TON of features and DTMF and its an inch taller
than the C508A. I normally use it much like you use yor C508A, and use
my mobil in cross band repeat. I keep the pwr cranked down to 300mw or
I can bump it to 1.5W, which is sometime nesscery since I'm using a
CH-32 mini ant (AKA radiating dummy load :-). I have had the radio for
about a year and where I go it goes.

I just purchased an Ameritron AL-80 (single 3-500) amplifier.,

Notice that I run out of LOAD capicitor on 160/80/40 meters... cranked all the
way and still not enough capacitance. Worst on BOTTOM of the band. Load is 1:1
.


The amp has 1100 pf variable in the output circuit, with 200 pf switched in on
40 meters, another 500 switched in on 80, and 2300 more added on 160.
All three of these bands are marginal. The capacitors all test out OK.

Has anybody else seen this in their AL-80? There's room to add one more
doorknob capacitor, so I plan to drop in maybe 500 pf to play on all three
bands. Can delete the 200 pf if necessary.

One more thing... when I checked the capacitors, I notided that the 200 ad 500
pf capacitors were reversed (i.e. the 500 comes in on 40, the 200 on 80).
Switching them back to agree with the schematic did not help the situation, bu
t
it looks as if previous owner had the same problem.

Thanks

Mel, What serial number is your unit? Does it have a three scale meter, or
a two scale?

Greetings,

I am soon to be the owner of a Kenwood TS-60 six meter all mode
transceiver. I checked Kenwoods web page and could not even find a
service bulletin that pertains to this rig. I wonder if there are any
mods out there for this radio? Any info would be appreciated, and I
will reply to all email sent.

Thanks, Mike N2QAC.

    The 706 looks like a very nice radio, and I am not knocking it, but
it is considerably more then twice what I am paying for the TS-60. Yes,
I am getting it used. Personally, I like monoband rigs in an era of
multi-band, wide frequency, pack all the spectrum you can fit into one
radio gear. I don't have a problem with that rational either, it is
just a personal choice for me liking monobanders. I hope the
manufacturers continue to make both kinds, but I think given the
continued popularity of the multi's, the monobander will some day go
the way of the dinosaur. I know the multiband gear represents a good
value for the consumer.

Anyway I'm glad you are happy with your 706 and I wish you the best of
luck with it. Maybe some day soon I can work you on 6 with my TS-60.

73...

Mike, N2QAC.

Sorry, I do not have any mods for TS-60. BUT if I were you I'll save up
a bit more money and but an ICOM IC-706, I am not paying that kind of
money to buy a monoband mobile rig. Well I don't know if you buy it used

There are plenty of mods.
I received E-mail from somebody owning a service manual:
When you open the radio (4 screws on the back plus four more
underneath the battery), look at the half that contains the
keyboard. On the PC board, at about the same location of the '1'
key on the other side, you will find a set of diodes. 3 double
diodes with 3 pins and some regular diodes.
Removing the uppermost double diode will convert the radio to
European bands.
I have not played around with any of the other mods yet.
B.t.w.:
When pressing 'band' and 'moni' simultaneous while turning on the
radio, you will get extended receive.

Have fun,
Arne Reykowski

PACKRAT,  I have known John Panik for a few years and have bought a lot
of stuff from him. I have never had to send anything back to him because
he represented wrong! He has always shipped when promised.

Greetings all:

I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the handheld Psion computer.
It has a serial port and I bet it can be used to run a TNC for packet
radio. Am curious if this has been discussed anywhere, or if anyone is
out there using it as such.

Thanx in advance,

Chris

Do not have a Psion, but any serial port will connect with a TNC.  My
HP 100LX can.  Ask your question at news server   comp.sys.palmtops
as users of the psion and HP1/200lx will respond.

I was told that there is/was a company called Pro Search (I'm not sure if
that is the real name) which made a digital retrofit kit for hygain rotor
controllers. It placed the existing meter with a digital one. I've been
trying to find their telephone number, but with no luck. Any pointers
would be great!

Thanks,

ProSearch is (or was, kinda) a subsidiary of Mosley Antennas (St Louis
MO).  The kits were marketed by the onwer of Mosley, Gary Wurdak
(sp.), K0VUW.  I'm not sure if Gary's still selling the ProSearch
line, of of someone else may have taken it over... I've not seen that
line advertised for several years now.  It WAS a pretty good product,
and even offered voice readout for visually handicapped users.

The last number I have for Mosley (Pro Search) is 800-325-4016 (office)
 and 314-994-7872 (Tech. support).  Don't know if they're any good.  Let
me know.

Hi there!

I would like to buy HF transceiver Atlas 400X either new or used. It is for
my father who is an amateur enthusiast. He is in Europe and gave me a phone #
for a California company Little Giant which supposedly sells this equipment.
But when I tried to call them, I found that the number has been disconnected.
Does anyone know if Atlas 400X is still being manufactured and where I can
order it? Does anybody have any experience with this transceiver? Reliability,
performance, etc.? I would be very grateful for any information.

Please, e-mail me at [e-mail]

Thanks a lot!

Jiri

Hello
There is/was an attempt to start mfg of the 400X down in So. CA, but at last
word there were some serious problems with the design/production/mfgr. I
saw what was to be a 400X or similar at Ham-Con in LA with Herb behind
the table. It was a lit-up-demo with digital display, but when I spun the
dial, the display stayed in the same place (dummy radio). My friend the
Late AA6GM, Alan McCarthy had a factory deposit on one for over a year
before he requested it back. The delivery date kept getting pushed back,
etc. So be real careful when sending money into a new deal/advertisement,
use a credit card for protection (fraud condom).

Maybe the show will get on the road for Atlas again, someday.
Some of my story may be alittle off, so do your own homework and let us
know.

As promised, I have added the original Uniden MR-8100 programming
software, SCAN.EXE, (with permission from Uniden America), along with the
newest version (0.9) of the Windows-based programming front-end, PSCAN,
to my Web site as downloadable files.  SCAN.EXE is not too large, but
PSCAN is 700K and will take a bit of time.  PSCAN is also available from
the HamNet Forum on Compuserve and the Ham Radio User Group on AOL. Both
programs are required.

   http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Scan_PikesPeak

Those of you who have acquired this scanner, but are without the
programming software, will find this indispensible.

After playing with several of these loader programs I *still* find it
*much* more easy to edit the ASCII freq. file with good old Windows
Notepad and use SCAN.EXE to squirt it into the scanner. QED.

  It's not quite clear to me... "she's" called the Nicad Lady, but does she
also sell the nickel-metal hydride batteries you mention?

    Hi --

    I'm looking for advice on the best commercial AM radio I can buy
that has a long reception range. We live in Hartford, Conn., and can
barely receive WCBS Newsradio 88 on our clock-radio. (Ironically, we
often get better reception on a cheap Walkman.) Anyway, we'd like to
get something that would work more reliably. All suggestions welcome.
Clock-radio style preferred, but we're not too picky.
Thanks in advance.

If $60 is not too much, the GE Superadio III will fill the bill; not a
clock radio (its a portable, but with AC cord), but it has a great
internal antenna (you turn the radio to peak the signal), but also an
external antenna connector.
Service Merchandise had them on sale for about $40 earlier this year.

I agree.  Get the Superadio.  Have one sitting right here on the
table.  They have always received very favorable reports in the
communications magazines.  Can't beat the price.

BOB:

   I believe the sample port is -40dB down from the input power.  Slugs
for this beast tend to be rather expensive since they each cover a
limited frequency and power range, but it is indeed easy to use.  Just
insert the slug with the arrow pointing to the antenna to measure
forward power, toward the transmitter to measure reflected.

   I don't know how wide a freq/power range you need or what you paid
for the 43.  If you find yourself looking at a big $$$ outlay for slugs,
you might want to sell the 43 and look at a Telewave 44 which is
wideband (30-1000 MHz) and has switches for power range and
forward/reflected... no slugs needed.  I've used one for about 5 years
and never had a problem with it.

How about another suggestion for those planning on buying equipment
through Internet ads?  VERIFY THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE ITEM ADVERTISED
WITH THE SELLER.  Readers may remember my previous posting where I
mentioned I was considering purchasing a speaker/mic through Internet.  I
also mentioned that I was a rather satisfied Internet shopper.  Well, I
purchased the speaker/mic that was often advertised (along with some
batteries) here as well as other rec.radio.amateur.* forums.  The model I
received was NOT the one advertised, but rather a much less expensive
one.  It works just fine, but had I known the true model, I would not
have purchased it since I already have one of slightly better quality.

So, I would again stress --- make sure what is being sold/purchased is
exactly what's advertised.  Happy shopping.

Johnathan,
It wouldn't hurt to clean the relays anyway. I have a 30S1 and I'm
always covering it up. Order or buy local a relay burnishing tool, most
of the cheaper ones are sold/made by GC Electronics. I use a very small
amount of Craig Labs stuff, know by two or three names of : Cramolin,
De-Oxide, R-5, R-2 and ProGold. Which ever one you can find will help
alot. Use very little as this is an RF/HV point and then wipe it off.
I've had trouble with the input section of the RF relay. Put a meter in
line and watch the SWR from the amp back to the exciter. You may be
seeing the same thing happen in yours.

Would anyone know if there is a method of repairing cracks in plastic
dial glasses?

The dial-glass on this receiver is clear plastic and with a dial light
behind it shows up the crack quite clearly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well I bought a brand new Yaesu FT1000.  Discovered it's fan was too noisy and

there were some receiver intermod problems, so took it back to AES.  Swapped
for an Icom 775...much quieter fan and better receiver, but three hours out of

the box and the main tuning knob freezes up tight as a drum!

Ladies and gentlemen, is it just me, or are we experiencing a quality crisis
in the latest jap ham gear?  I believe we are, and big time.  If you're
thinking about buying a new jap rig that's just come out. think twice!!!
There's a 99% chance you'll be sending it back for warranty repairs to fix
something that should have never made it out of the factory!

I have an Icon discone antenna which I will part with for $20.  It is fully
assembled and has not spent much time on the roof.  It does have
N-connectors.

Since it's assembled, you have to come and pick it up in the near north
Chicago suburbs.  If you'll do that, I'll throw in a Tandy 100 notebook
computer with books and cassette recorder.

Please send me private e-mail if you're interested.

To The Group:

I am posting this request to the group for some Elmer Advice.
I currently own an IC745 HF Xcvr and a Kenwood TR-9000 2m all mode
what I am pondering is to upgrade these to newer rigs. At the present time I h
ave an offer to trade my
IC 745 + $800 for a like new IC736. I like the idea of having
everything in one box but I'm wondering wheather I would gain
much more? The other idea would be to trade the TR-9000 on say
an IC275 or even a IC821H. I realize a lot of people have used
these rigs and really would like some help. Therefore, my
questions are: 1. would upgrading from my IC745 to the IC736 be
a smart move?? and 2. would I get much by trading my TR-9000 on a
newer model. Additional info: I hold a tech plus and am working on
code for my general ticket. I like 2m SSB and possible would like
to try satelites at sometime. I occ. talk locally on 10m SSB and
would like to get on HF SSB at some point. If you can help me
with some good advice please do. I look forward to your reply's.
Also could you please Email me directly since I have a difficult
time connecting with the news group from my internet access port.

Scott:
        It seems like every time I ask a question you come back
with a reply. Why don't I just by pass the group all together? We'll
scott I agree with what your saying overall. I like my 745 a lot and
think that the only thing that's swaying me is the automatic ant tuner
for both HF and 6m. The thought of cranking a roller or fliping switches
doesn't really appeal to me right now. But $800 would go a long way in
setting up ant's and various assesories. I come back to the one box that
does it all. I see they new 756's are right around the corner and that if
anything is putting my brakes on. I think the other part of the problem
is I have more time to think about rigs than to actually get on the air.
I have down time at work but when I get home if I don't have a project
going the little gal has me working on something. I just keep reading
about new rigs and can't stop drooling over them. As far as 2m rigs go I
probably will hold out for a IC821H other than 100w out it blows the 275
out of the water and works for satelites. As you know 2m all modes are
like in major demand these days and HF rigs you can't give them away.
Darn those nasty little sun spots. Well thanks again for you always
prompt responses and I'll take your advice into consideration. I think
that 6m transverter would work great on the TR-9000 since it is already
all-mode. I assume you built the kit? The qst review suggests that it
goes together pretty easy but what about alingment??

                                                Thanks again Brad
                                                WB7TSO

I have found a source for those DC power cord plugs. The ones I've got
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.

Oh, I will absolutely have time for photography as I am enrolled for
it as part of my class schedule here at the College.  However, the
College does not carry any amateur licensing courses.  If I can fit it
into my class schedule, I have time for it.

And more importantly, I can take a picture without having to have a
license in the first place.

I have a Kenwood TR-7400 2 meter XCVR and a TAPR TNC-2 that I haven't
used in a VERY long time.  I will let the pair go to the highest
(reasonable) bid.  The TR-7400 is kinda beat up but is functional and
the TNC is very clean.  All you need is a power supply and your all
set.

Please email offers to [e-mail]

I have decided to sell my "backup" rig to make some room in
the shack. This is a super-clean, mint condition, complete
matching station in the classic cream/woodgrain cases that
made Ten-Tec famous for its cabinetry. All has been stored
covered up and works fine. This rig is a dream on CW and I
worked DXCC on SSB as well with it.

 o Ten-Tec Triton I, 80/40/20/15/10 HF SSB/CW all solid-state
   with built-in SWR meter, QSK keying, offset tuning, auto
   SSB mode select, optional CW filter installed, xtal
   calibrator, 50w output

 o Matching  Ten-Tec 110vac/12vdc power supply with factory OVP
   board installed

 o Matching (MFJ) antenna tuner with built-in balun

 o Matching (homebrew) VOX and Speech Processor box

 o Shure 444 desk microphone

Asking $440 for the entire package.

Analog version, with matching AC supply.  Very good condition.  In

WARC-band rig (unfortunately not Ten Tec).  $250 (I ship in CONUS).
Terms: prepaid with cashiers check or money order, no COD.

Its a great radio CTCSS encode/decode, DTFM memorys, tone sql and paging,
  several scanning modes, Dual VFOs, Clock, and a bunch of other features.

Icom IC-W2A

        Dual Band HT
        7.2V - 1000Mah Ni-cad
        12 VDC charger/car adapter
        AA battery case
        Speaker Mic

        Manual and schematics

I have the not done any hardware but have the info for them. I have done the
"keyboard mod" that allows for extended RX range of something like;

        ~108-136 AM (Air band)
        ~136-174 FM
        ~450-950 FM (including Cellular W/ a 30Kc step available)

I have also done the other "keyboard mod" that allow this radio to cross band
repeat. Nice.

I'd prefer a local buyer(Washington DC area). But will ship it if buyer pays
shipping and its COD only. I'm asking 250$US.

My nearly 5 year old FT-5200 seems to have become rather quiet.  It's
deviation appears to be limiting at about 2.2 KHz.

I haven't opened the thing since I did some mods to it not to long after
I bought it.  Now I can't find my schematic.

Does anyone know where the deviation adjustment is in that radio?  There
are not too many thing to adjust inside besides the front end coils.

I am not a regular at r.r.a.equipment so I would appreciate at least a
"cc" by e-mail on any response.

Regards

I am not sure (I dont think so) but who cares because you can always go
back just by changing BAND to A1 and you are back to normal
The hardware modification facilitates the software mod.

Hello,
        Our ham club is setting up a satellite station and we're going
to be purchasing a modem to replace our twitchy pac-com 1200 BD psk
modem.  As for criteria, we'd like to be able to communicate with
everything up there, possibly including Wefax, as well as be able to
expand it to 56Kb/s at some point.
        I'm not too familiar with how the different modems work (as
far as the separation of TNC and modem), but I'd like something that
has one line to the radio, and the other to the serial port on the
computer. Capability to use under Linux is a boon.
        So, from what I've gleaned from various publications, these
are the ones I've been looking at:

AEA DSP-2232 (or 1132)
TAPR DSP-93
PacCom Spirit 2
AEA DSP-232

Out of these, I've only had a chance to play with the TAPR modem, and
even though I couldn't really get it to work, I kinda liked it (I'm
sick that way). I've heard some people say that it isn't "completely
finished" yet, but I may be willing to wait for completeness if it
works in some fashion now.  The fact that TAPR is just down the road
(I'm in Tucson), make it a bit more attractive, and the extra $500 I'd
save compared to the 2232 can go a long way towards something else for
the station.

I like the "dual-port" capability of the 2232, but I can't say I'd use
it sooner than a year from now.

I know the Spirit has 56KB capability off the bat, so that's a plus there...

No idea about the DSP 232.

Any other ones out there I'm neglecting?

I'd be gracious to hear people's experiences or suggestions with any
of these modems.

I mounted a 2 meter/ 440 dual band rig to my quad and used a remote PTT
mounted on the handle bar near the left hand grip. A remote clip on mic
is attached to my helmet and an ear piece. It is very comfortable and a
blast to use while ride the trails. The remote kit was bought from HRO in
 Burbank, CA. It was about $60 and they come with plug for either ICOM or
Kenwood.

Get the Yaesu FT-50R! A great, durable radio. Does everything you
described and more. I got mine form Ham Radio Outlets [phone] for
aprox. $320. The optional software is a must if you have a computer.
With it you can program your FT-50R from your computer, under Windows,
then transfer the settings to the HT.

I've had mine a month now and like it very much. There's even a bunch of
mods for it that I'm for you can find in this newsgroup.

Amran :)

ps, Goodluck in your search.

I am a newbe to Ham Radio and have just passed my no code novice and
technician exams last night (no call sign yet).  I am interested in
reccomendations for a hand held dual band (2m/70cm) unit because:
* I do bicycle tours and need something light to use for emergency
communications
* I backpack so it needs to be rugged and could get damp
* I want to autopatch to my wife when she pages me and I am in the car
* I travel a lot and it would be fun to have the radio with me in different
areas of the US

I expect to spend $300-450.

Any suggestions on makes, models and places to buy one is appreciated.

   Its called the Family Radio Service (FRS) and it operates
   in the 46x MHz region. There is usually a thread running in
   rec.radio.scanner on the topic.

Yes, the FCC just created a 'family radio service'. Actually it is on the curr
ent
interstitial channels for the General Mobile Radio Service.(GMRS). The differe
nce
is that the units are only 1/2 watt and the max deviation is set to 2.5 KHZ as

opposed to the normal 5KHZ deviation. Also the antennas on these handhelds can
not
be removed from the radio. Radio Shack and Motorola (as I understand it) pushe
d
the FCC into creating this licence free band. Radio Shack is selling one of th
ese
radios. Its about $180.00 !

I think they are hoping this will appeal to the people using 100mw 49MHZ stuff
.


I would recommend getting a GMRS license instead. The GMRS radios don't cost m
uch more
than the FRS units and a GMRS license is only $60.00 for 5 years.



There is a GMRS web site that mentions the FRS.

its located at:  http://www.primenet.com/~n7ory/gmrs.html

Another site is at http://www.li.net/~j4dice/scanning_info/gmrsfaq.html




Hope this helps!

     Yes, the FCC has just released rules creating a  Family Radio Service
(FRS).  The rules authorize the use of unlicensed radio communications
equipment in between the 467MHz GMRS radio channels.

     Under the rules FRS radios can be used as repeaters, interconnected to
the telephone system, used as remote control for other things,  or even as
long distance baby monitors transmitting continuously.

     Bear in mind, these FRS channels are squeezed in between the GMRS
channels at 12.5 KHz increments.  This portrays a future of interference to
both services.  Sounds like a real mess to me.... kinda like  27MHz.

I would not buy the FRS radio at Radio Shack.  You can buy virtually the
same radios (made by Motorola) from some of the Sporting Goods catalogs
like Bass Pro Shop for $50 less per radio!  The RS models are real low end
(I think it was Gander Mountain that had them for $99 (RS sells them for
$179 and the better model was selling at Bass Pro Shop for $129.  All made
by Motorola.

A.E.S. lists the tubes in their most recent catalog for $499 ea. (WOW)
1-800-558-0411.  Good luck.

    To translate Ken's words for our Norwegian friend:

    A.E.S. = Amateur Electronic Supply  (U.S. company)
    The 800 number is obviously NOT accessible from Norway!

    Kjell: it would be best for you to search European sources for
new tubes.  8875s are not easy to find.  Are you sure both are bad?
Such power tubes rarely fail completely unless terribly abused.

Only the first was obvious to me, the second was not.  The call will
not be free, but it certainly may be accessible.  It is from very
many countries.

Best only for the European dealers, I'm sure!  Mail order from the
States is often (always?) the best, sometimes the only source for
such components. And why do you say that these tubes are hard to find
immediately after correctly quoting Ken as writing that AES carries
them as stock items?

I am sure that Anthony means well.  However Ken's posting appeared to
me to be very helpful and fully responsive to LA7AH's request.  I
would assume that only sources below $499 (WOW) could top it.

Your certainty is present solely on account of your total ignorance
in this matter.  Please try it out and then feel free to return and
tell us all which of the two of us was wrong.

You will need to add the 00 international access code and you keep
the `1' as it is also needed as the USA country code.  Before
connection you will hear a warning that the call will not be free, so
you can try it out and then hang up quickly before the connection
proceeds and without being charged for the experiment.

Please get back here soon with your findings.

You said it.  But did you really feel it?

1-800 US numbers certainly aren't usable from the UK.

I haven't tried this recently simply because up till a few months ago we
only got number unobtainable. I'll take your word that we can now dial
OK. This will help enormously 'cos most US companies in my field only
advertise using freephone numbers and in the past it has been quite a
nightmare trying get in touch with them.

The program is Win95SSTV, and the shareware beta version is at

http://www.wolfe.net/~jlbarber/sstv.htm

You'll need a scanner to convert your photos into files for
transmission, also. A small graphics editor is built into Win95SSTV, so
that will help with titles, etc.

One thing -- you don't broadcast anything in Amateur Radio... This is a
TWO-WAY communications service, after all.

Good luck & 73...

Hello,
        I am trying to identify some older PC cards which have come

particularabout them:

        -  identifiers '108NIC', '88NIC', and '92-003904-00'  on PCB
        -  ISA cards
        -  2, 8-pin dip switches , and one red and one green LED on back
        -  9 pin DB connector with some sort of convertor attachment to a BNC
                connector on back also
        -  a 80188, some sort of Zilog serial controller (Z0853008PSC), a
                couple eproms, and other assorted logic on board

        If you can identify them, I would appreciate being enlightened.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure of the particular manufacturer, but it sounds like an 'Arcnet'
adapter to me. Arcnet is a networking protocol like Ethernet or Token
Ring... It's efficient (ie, no collisions), but slow compared to 10 Mbps
Ethernet or 16 MBps Token Ring.

On units with the MH-39 mike, you have to press the button on the upper
right to switch bands for either vol or squelch. Hold down a bout 1-2 sec
for squelch, instant for vol. The LED will flash for squelch (continuous
for vol) on either L or R to indicate which band the control is currently
controlling.

A bit confusing...

You can buy from J.M.L. Electronics, a RIT control which replaces your
normal RIT. This is a push-pull control which allows you to to activate
the RIT in transmit or receive mode.

This RIT, is part of the "Chipswitch Kit" but you can buy the RIT control
separetly for $19.95. you can reach them at 416-756-2383

I have a friend (not a ham) who buys and sells antiques.  In 1978 he bought
the estate of a family friend who had committed suicide.  The guy was a ham
and he had a lot of old gear including several hundred tubes that date
from the late 1930s and early 1940s.  There are 2 1950s era receivers --
HRO-50T1 and HRo-60, a Breting 14AX shortwave radio (I assume this is a
German made radio from the 30's), a Freed-Eisenmann Radio Corporation
Neutrodyne radio, and piles of miscellaneous old stuff.

Can anyone tell me (approximately) what these radios are worth or a source
(like an automotive "blue book") that would give me some idea?  I am not
interested in the equipment myself and I have no financial stake in this.
The equipment is stored in an unheated attic and I would like to see it
get into the hands of collectors who can restore it before it is damaged
 and give my friend a fair price for it.

Thanks a lot.

I put up a DX-77 about six months ago.  At best, it is just okay. At
first I just couldn't get the VSWR to adjust on several bands. Hy-Gain
told me that they had a quality problem with one of their suppliers and
some of their traps weren't as they should be. (I assume they don't test
their products before they ship) They sent me a couple of new traps, and
still, it wouldn't tune.  I called HyGain again, and they agreed to send
me a new antenna (they paid the shipping to ship the new one and return
the defective one). I assembled it and still had one band that wouldn't
tune, so I took the trap from the original antenna for that band and
swapped it with the new trap, and then the VSWR tuned okay. I never have
been able to get the VSWR down to <1.6:1 on 40M.  I don't see the 2:1
VSWR bandwidth HyGain advertises.
I have my antenna mounted at about 15feet, on a storage shed, using a
metal triangular 18" mount, the mount is grounded directly to ground. I
get out on all the bands, but not as well as I had hoped to.  I am
hoping to get a tower and yagi up in the future.
Good luck de Sam, AB4N

Hi John,

Six months ago, I had an ICOM IC-765 with the some problem.
I was thinking the reason of the noise was caused by the
internal switching power supply.
Do you have it installed ?
At which frequencies or which band this problem comes out.

This is a rather incredible report. On SSB, the signal *is* the
modulation translated to RF. Think about it. With no audio in, there
is no RF out, and with lots of audio in, there is lots of RF out in a
direct one to one correspondence. And on receive that RF is translated
directly to audio again in a (hopefully) linear manner. So if you've got
lots of signal, you *have* to have lots of modulation. It can be overdriven
and distorted, but it has to be there. Anyone telling you that your signal
is strong but your modulation is weak when operating SSB is a very confused
person.

There have been some complaints of poor *low frequency response* with
the IC-706 in SSB mode. The fix is to use item Q4 on the quick set
menu to adjust carrier in relation to the SSB filter to improve low
frequency response. But this will have no effect on the *amount* of
modulation you have in relation to the amount of RF you transmit.
That *must* be a linear relationship if the radio is operating in
SSB mode.

You *are* in SSB mode on HF aren't you? If you're still in FM mode,
that's different. The radio uses the same modulator for HF FM as
for VHF FM, so there should be *no* difference in deviation from
one to the other.

I just got a new IC-706. Everything worgs OK but the HF audio quality. (VHF
audio is excellent)

The reports I get is: Very strong signal but very low modulation! (with or
without compression)

I can not make out what is wrong. I tried mic level from 4-10 without any
change.And adjusted the compression to less tann 10 db.

Any-body has any idea?

Assuming you're running SSB, signal strength=modulation level, so the
reports you are getting probably really mean "weak signal".

If you're using AM or FM (on 10 meters) then I suppose you may have
weak audio, but I haven't received any reports of weak audio on mine
on any band/mode.

I have noticed that you have to be careful with using the speech
compressor on 2m FM though.  It's easy to forget and leave it on, and
it makes for some serious deviation.

There is one guy in our area that has a 706, and has very tinny audio
on 2m FM with the stock hand-mike.  He has had his radio in for
service recently (after a little transmit INTO the other antenna port
incident) and the audio has had no bass ever since.  Other 706 around
the area don't seem to have this problem.

You might try an audio report running FM on 2 or 6 meters, because
it's a lot easier to judge audio quality on FM.

Im not familiar with the 706 but I do have a friend who owns one...first
chance I get to look at his manual, I'll see what can be done..

ALSO a 2mtr 5/8wave antenna (like a Larsen NMO-150 or Signals equiv) will
work as a base loaded 1/4wave on 6 very nicely!!!

Or you could use a diplexer to feed the 6mtr signal and the 2mtr signal
together....(take a diplexer and split HF and 6 and then combine 6 and 2
with another one....a pain but it will work...if you can get 6 out the
2mtr port, that would be the best way!)

I own a brand new IC-706 HF-6m-2m rig that I won at a hamfest two
months ago. The thing is that Satellite is my thing.
I would lke to trade the IC-706 for an All mode all band VHF/UHF
transceiver such as the Yaesu FT-736R IC-821-H or some such.
I would prefer the Yaesu rig as it has the expansion ability for 6m
and 1.2gig. All deals are open to negotiation!

He is proberly going to use it to supply Power and turn on the SGC tuner
when you turn on the radio.  That is what I did with mine because if you
forget to turn off the tuner it will drain you battery.

Hi,

Does anyone know what the pin functions are on the IC-706 on the
external tuner port control connector. This is the four pin molex
connector on the back of the radio. I would like to use it with the SGC
tuner (simply out of convenience). Power should be easy enough to find,
but is there any other information communicated on this port etc...

Thanks in advance.

Allen,

I've only been working HF for a couple of years and the only other rig
I've used prior to my 706 was an oldie.  From that stand point, I love
my IC-706.  For the $$ you can't beat it.  I've always received great
reports on my QSO's and it travels with me on my motorcycle.  There
are two things that it doesn't do that I wish it would...  Receive two
bands at once, so that I could monitor 2 Meters when working HF, and
work a split between bands allowing me to receive on one band and
transmit on another (useful when working satellites).  The few
complaints I heard on audio don't hold true.  I believe you'll enjoy
the radio.   73's

I am also thinking of getting one, does the double conversion technique
affect the receiver quality on this rig? Do You have any problems with
the receiver sensetivity? any comments? I own a TS-690 today.

Many thanks in advance!

I got one about two months ago at AES, $100 and worth it :)  Was in

I have an Icom IC-751A HF transceiver, and have a question.  With the AF
GAIN and RF GAIN controls fully CCW (off), I still get a noise.  It
does not sound like a 60 HZ hum.

Is this normal?
If not, how do I get rid of it.

hmmmmmm. Need more detail on the "noise". Could it be hiss from the af
amp? Has it always been there or just recently developed? Does it
fluctuate?

National Semi has a couple of low noise preamps (most of the noise
figure is from the first gain stage...) the LM833 is fairly good (Hi-Fi
quality)  at 4.5nV/squareroot(Hz).

My opinion is that it is normal for IC751A. I have same noise even if
controls are "off". Because this tranceiver is radiotechnically
good radio, I have though to build a new AF-amplifier for it.
(No need for vy expensive new radio :)

But, what is a good AF-amplifier IC for this purpose ? (With no noise ...)
Does anyone have any ideas ?

John:

I installed a EX310 voice board in my IC751A that had the jumper cut
(used
to speed up voice).  This caused quite a bit of noise, even when the
gain
controls were down.  Re-connecting the jumper solved the problem.  If
you
have this option, check out the jumper, or temporally disconnect the
EX310
to see if the noise goes away.  The EX310 has it's own volume adjustment
that bypasses the radio's audio control.

John:

Does your rig have the built-in power supply?   If so, that could be the
source.  I'm assuming the noise you hear is low enough that it is not
noticeable during normal reception?

I own 2 of these rigs, and they have both been major pains.  First symptom
of trouble is in the LED frequency display: too many segments lighting,
too few segments lighting, and eventually *no* segments lighting.
Somewhere in this process, the PLL circuit begins to fail as well.  At
first the frequency will only go in one direction no matter which way the
dial is turned.  Then, I lose the 144-146 segment.  After that, the
frequency display is dead and the only way to determine the frequency is
with an external counter.

Each of these rigs has been back to ICOM or ICOM specialists more than 5
times.  The usual fix has been to resolder the circuit board feedthroughs
leading to the LED display.  It never lasts more than 2 or 3 months,
though.

I love these rigs when they're operational, but they have been nothing but
trouble.

There is a rumor of a 708 Icom coming - 160 - 450 MHz - slightly larger

ICOM IC-781

As yet, I have not seen the rear panel, hence this question.
Does the IC-781 have the so-called, "direct FSK input" capability?
Such as a pair of "FSK" jacks, or similar pin-outs of a combo-type
socket on the rear panel?

Thanks.  --John, K8JS   [e-mail]

Try connecting your hot lead to the battery itself and not through the fuse
box (if you don't have it this way already). Then you need to make sure
that you have found a GOOD place to ground your radio. If you still have
trouble, try using a high quality noise filter.  Most of the time a good
power connection will solve noise problems.

Oh, one more thing...make sure that your noise blanker is turned on. More
times than once I have started getting a noise problem, only to find that
the noise blanker got turned off somehow.

Good luck and happy DXing!!

Try to determine if the noise is radiated or conducted. You can
disconnect the coax from the radio to check for radiated. It would be
difficult to test for conducted while the car is moving. If it has an
engine controlled computer, I would suspect it as the source.

I have two suggestions, which have worked on a couple of cars:

1. Get tubular copper braid, heavy, to cover the spark plug wires.
Build a small copper box over the distributor (ignition module).
(Before you do that, check that you are using resistor wires
and resistor plugs).

2. Ground the exhaust pipe.

These tips have been very effective on HF mobile for me.

Having ignition noise get louder on acceleration is normal.

Don't get too narrow focused on it being iginition noise.

Electronic Fuel Injection?

Electronic transmission?

Anti-lock brake System?

Does it have an electronic suspension system?

All this and more are computer controlled and could be a source of
noise.

There is also an issue of Ford exhaust systems (someone mentioned that
earlier).  This was apparently a real problem on Explorers for some
people.  But I have heard it blamed for noise in other Fords as well.
Did they check with the dealer?  They apparently have a "fix" for the
Explorer.  Perhaps help is available there.

Thanks for the mention.

I work for MAGNECOR, we manufacture spark plug wires designed to solve extreme
 radio suppression problems, for example for vehicles fitted with ameteur radi
o equipment.

I can't guarantee we can solve your problem. But you may be surprised, we have
 solve many serious problems for others.

If you want me to send you more information call me at 810-669-6688 or e-mail
to [e-mail] and I'll send you some technical information.

We also offer a small extra pricing deal for orders received from internet pos
tings.

ask for STEVE (I'm the sales manager).

Anyone with ignition noise they can't get rid of MUST get a
set of "Magnecore" wires they are FAR better than any I have tried
and have cured problems for lots of other people.

Hi Jason:

The 440S/AT with a filter or two seems to advertise at an
average of $600-$700.  If you end up at the higher end,
try to demand a few extra goodies, or make sure it is a
high serial number and in very good condition.

I have a 440 for a few years and really like it, even compared
to many of the big rigs like the 940 (had one) and the Ten
Tec OMNI VI (had one).  It is not quite as good as these
radios, especially in a crowded contest band, but heck, it
is 95% of those radios for way less than 95% of the price,
hi hi.

Mine just started doing that recently...I thought it was microprocessor
noise form my S10 Blazer....it also bothers the rig on 145.78-79 and
441.625 but the 525 problem is a new one!

Wud like to see what IS the cause....its a pain trying to talk on 52 now!

they have service bulletins in the pubs\amateur\ directory I think it is.
 It's easy to find by searching the directories listed by intuition (I
can't remember the exact directory).  73, Scott.

I am about to acquire a Kenwood TS-870.  Since they have been out there
for quite a while I rather imagine that there are lots of hands on and
guidance for the care and feeding of one.  I would be interested in fact,
opinion, or just anything you might have to say about the
radio....CAREFUL!  Anyone have what is considered optimum menu settings?

Larry, I have been using a TS870 for about a year mostly on 40 CW and
really love the radio.  I will warn you that it will take some time to
get used to using it and to get the correct settings.   There was a
fellow who published a file of SSB parameters about a year ago and I
can try to find it if you are interested.
The one disadvantege is that it doesn't have a way of inputing a
sperate receive antenna (like a beverage for 160).
I feel the 870 is a very competative radio

Larry,

I have owned an TS870 and the radio is a real pleasure to use.  I reviewed the
 rig several
months ago and then sold it so I could review another unit (JST245).  You will
 find the digital
filtering is superb.  Some will tell you that you will experience "filter blow
-by" with strong
signals, but I never noticed this and used the rig both on SSB and CW for seve
ral months.
The rig is also very good for casual SW listening.  The digital filtering lets
 you simply crank
down the bandwidth until you remove the QRM!  I can only think of 3 items that
 I would want
Kenwood to change......provide an input for an external receive ant. and impro
ve the beat cancel
and auto notch functions within the DSP.  A strong signal in the passband is d
ifficult to notch
or cancel under certain circumstances.  Kenwood eludes to this in their operat
or's manual for
the 870.  Overall, I think the 870 is a very good rig and a good buy.  I think
 most everyone
will find things on the current "high end" rigs that they would want to change
.  Good luck!

Have not played with the 870, but variable-rate tuning would explain
this.

Has anyone else seen this problem:

Place the 870S in CW mode and rotate the dial away from a solid carrier
signal (like WWV for example) at least 1 Kc.  The dial numbers will jump to
the point where they will blur to the eye, which is normal, but when you
stop moving and slowly return to the original position the signal will have
moved - from the previous physical position of the dial.

For example, if you zerobeat WWV and perform this test, to get zero beated
again you will find you need to move about 1/8 to 1/4 turn from your
original position.

I discovered the problem during SS when stations appeared to be "moving"
around on me.  I thought I was just tired!

Len,

I own a TS-870S, and I'm trying to understand what you're talking about.
How about some more details on this?  Maybe it's just me, but your words
above don't make sense.  Which numbers get blurry?  The digital display?
I don't get it.  Are you trying to say that if you zero-beat WWV on 10.0
MHz and tune off of it, then tune back, it will no longer be at 10.0 MHz?

As for the physical position of the VFO knob being different, this has to
do with the optical pulse encoder that is used to tune the PLL, and the
rate at which you rotate it.  This is normal for this type of setup.  I
have seen this on many rigs.

My ft51r BNC connector has become a little loose. I was able to tighten
what appears to be a little retainer ring and it seems to have fixed it
for the time being, but I suspect it will loosen again eventually. Anyone
with any experience of this problem? Do you have to get some special tool
from Yaesu to really tighten that ring down?

I have ordered a set of the Magnecor RFI/EMI suppressing spark plug
wires for my F-150.  If they work, they will be worth the $120 price
tag.  If they don't, it will have been a very expensive experiment.

I will let the net know how it turns out.

I've got an MFJ-432 voice keyer that works great with my IC-735,
but doesn't play with the TS-850.  Yes, I changed the internal
jumpers to the K position.  The problem appears to be very noisey
audio; if I turn the 432 output level way down, then turn down
the mic gain on the rig, the audio sounds clean, although low.
As the mic gain is increased, a large amount of noise is suddenly
apparant.  This probably isn't RF feedback, since it happens when
the peak output is only 5 watts too.  It's not related to antenna
problems; it happens on several dipoles and a dummy load.

Does anyone else have this combination playing together?  Any
clues to the source of the problem?

Thanks

Hi,

I want to operate on HF in my small apartment room,so I need a small size
antenna which has efficient,and quite easy to match S.W.R. I found a rod type
vertical antenna with tuning box at advertisement in the JA CQ magazine.
That is MFJ-1621.
It looks useful for me, but I have no information about this.

Please answer me following questions, if you have any information about it.

1) MFJ-1621 can work in room?

2) Does it have a M-type(or other) connector due to connect with external
antenna. It means, MFJ-1621 contains a tuning box. The tuning box is able to
provide a simply antenna tuner?

3) Where could you QSO with in use a MFJ-1621?

4) Do you have any information about any small size antenna due to use
in these cases?

I enjoyed DXing about five years ago. But now, I have a few activities on
HAM radio because of I live in a small room which cannot buid up antennas
outside.
I will operate 100watts or less mainly CW.

So, waiting your any adivices.

There are two small loops of wire on the circit board. I think one is pink, an
d
the other black, one opens up 440 rec, and the other opens up 2 meter xmit. Cu
t
both wires, and perform a reset via the manual.

Its a very simple mod. Almost all of alincos new gear has these jumpers.

Hello,

        Does anyone have any information on a Frontier Electronics
Base HF rig, called the "Digital 500D".  It's a 80 -10 meter rig with
S.S.B and CW only, it also has tubes in the finals.

Would anyone have the schematics or have any information on this rig
or how to use it?  Also having problems connecting a mic to the rig.

Thank you for your time...

First, write down all your memeory entries 'cause you'll need to reset the
CPU losing all of them.  Open the top cover and on the left are a red wire
and a blue wire.  Naturally, remove all power to the radio.  Cut  both of
the wires making sure they can't short anything on the board or contact
each other.  I just used some heat shrink tubing.  Now you have to reset
the CPU by holding the Function key will turning on the power.  Radio
now transmits from about 138 to 174 Mhz and UHF band receive is 430
to 512 Mhz.  These are approximate numbers as I haven't yet been to
both band edges. Enjoy the mod and glad I could help  .

I have been posting the same requests for the FT8000R in various forums
yet without a response. I will keep trying and I will save your address
incase I find anything. Please do the same for me.
What do you think of your 8000 so far?
me... complicated yet simple(in some ways)
      very prone to intermod in the ham bands and otherwise
      who needs the Cellular capabilities, find the images all over
      truly a "smart search" program
      no DCS!! Why?!
      only 2 autodials
      very little radio control from the mic
      with all of its faults it is still a nice radio for the money

Anyone know where I can find an operating and service manual for an ICOM

ICOM says they never made a service manual for this radio???? Hard to

I have been trying to get an idea of how much a Patterson PK16 might be
worth today. It is a 16 tube  communication receiver built in 1937-39
and is in excellent working condition, completely original except for
one electrolytic. Has absolutely no hum! I have seen it listed in
several books without prices but I didn't see it in those references
that do have prices !  Can anybody help?  Tnx

I have a pyramid 20Amp on the desk driving a dual band mobil rig.  If you
buy a large power supply, as your privileges increase, your supply
will handle all your new radios.  If you can afford it, buy about a 20 or
so (continuous).  It will always power your stuff, even if you add
rotators, packet, ATV etc.  Astrons are good units, but if you shop your
local hamfests and electronics dealers, you will find good deals on
pyramids or others.  I recall mine ran about $100.  Once you have one -
you have it.
By the way, I like front posts so adding and subtracting equipment does
not require the hassel rear posts might.  Rear posts help keep the shack
a little cleaner.  Also my unit has voltage adjust pot meter and current
meter.
I have KW rigs similar to the 733.  Love 'em, mobile or base.
Good Luck

I am looking for the telephone number of a particular company that was
selling RACAL 6790/GM receivers at the Dayton Hamvention this year.  He
had an outside tent and a stack of very nice 6790's and a stock of spare

Not sure if other versions than North American will do, but press BOTH BAND
buttons and the SET button for about 1 second.  The memory channels will chang
e
to a flashing " L " .  To revert to normal just press the SET button only.

This amp is still in kit form, and is the same as the Ameritron AL-80A.
Uses a single 3-500Z tube for 1 kW out with 100 W in.  Build it the way
you want it, and get a brand-new amp for the price of a used one.  $600
plus shipping.

        The RME DB-22A contains 3 tubes and is used as an
amplifier/preselector useful between 0.5-44 MHz. It is a good companion
to a number of Hammarlund receivers (plus others) such as the HQ-145 or
HQ-180. The unit works well and has a little (very little) rust on the cabinet
.
Asking price is US $40 + shipping. I can be contacted at [phone]
or at [e-mail]. Please feel free to email me if more
info about the DB-22A is needed.

Greetings,

        My name is  Geremy Havanec'98 at Saint Ignatius High School in
Cleveland Ohio.  Recently a group of about 15 students formed a
amateur radio club, 1 member has there general liscense, 5 have
Tech:No Code, and the rest are studying for the exam on Nov 24.
Currently, we only have two 2m mobiles (actually club members, but we
share them at meetings), a few CB's (no I hate them too :) , and a
scanner.  This lack of equipment limits us to meet only once a week,
and not many projects to be able to accomplish.

        We really want this club to take off!  And the fact that in two weeks
there will be thirteen liscensed members who really want to experience
HAM'ing will not get the opportunity.  So I would ask that if ANYONE
has ANY equipment (radios, antennas, mics, speakers, shortwave, 2m, or
440) they would be willing to donate it would be greatly appreciated.
Any equipment will do, be it a tube shortwave or a crystal shortwave,
or a solid state 2m will be GRATEFULLY accepted, and as a token of our
appreciation, we will post your names on our list of benefactors in
the Student Newspaper, the Freenet SIG, and in the Homepage for the
School, and the SIHSARC Homepage.  Every piece of equipment helps
IMMENSLY.

-Thank You for your time.
-Geremy Havanec'98

Where can I find current market value for entry level Kenwood HF rigs,
Alinco Portables, Power supplies and TNC's?

Brian,

It is a good antenna tuner.  It is able to tune my 23' boat antenna to just
about anything - ham and commercial.

Occationally, it will refuse to tune up on 20, but all have to do it tune
up on another band, then try again on 20m.  That fixes it.

Hi all

I own an SG-230 for several years now and use it in a fixed installation
at home. It tunes a 10m high vertical (fiberglass "fishing rod" with a
wire inside) on all bands from 160m to 10m. The SWR however is not
always 1:1, the spec says 2:1 max, which I think is true.
The first tuner I destroyed, probably by unwanted tuning activity during
a transmission, caused by RF on the DC supply. The new one has an
additional control input which either forces a re-tuning or locks the
tuner in its present state. No more problems since then.

73, Markus

This summer I visited Hong Kong and went to quite a few of the shops selling
cameras and electronics.  Many of these shops also sell ham radio equipment. I

purchased an Icom T22A HT at the shop listed below.  When buying in person,
these shops expect you to haggle over the price.  With careful negoiation you
can ususally get them to accept about 60% of their first asking price. I don't

know if prices are fixed for mail orders.  Be careful when buying in Hong Kong

as the equipment may be an Asian or European version (always ask). I was able
to buy a USA version of an HT. Also, be aware of the exchange rate for Hong
Kong dollars before you buy.

I am hoping to put up a full wave horizontal loop for 80 meters, and want
to use some of the big trees around our house to hold up the corners.
Figured I'd try using one of these high-powered slingshots to launch a
line over the tree and then pull up that corner of the loop. Has anyone
done this..what kind of line did you use? Do you have to use  monofilament
to start with and then pull up something like nylon rope after that for
the actual line? Any advice is greatly appreciated! :-)

Mike:
Years ago I did this successfully. I used a very fine monofilament
line fed from a light weight spinning reel. I assume that you are
using a marble size  ball bearing type shot. If so you can drill a
small hole through it and secure the monofilament through it.
I was able to get it up about 60 ft with no problem.

Mike:   I agree,  Its a blast to use the slingshot.   they are cheap -
I paid five bucks for mine and it worked like a charm.  I'd add a
couple of ideas to the suggestios you've already received:

-- Paint the sinker red or orange so you'll be able to see it when it
comes down on the other side.

-- Wear eye protection during the entire operation.

-- Do it shortly after dawn on a Sunday morning (to minimize
collateral casualties and to keep the neghbors from thinking you've
gone totally bonkers).

Good shooting!   73    Bill    N2CQR

I use 14 lb test and a wrist rocket slingshot.  I take a fishing reel and
rig it to the slingshot, then tie a 1/2 ounce sinker to it a let it fly!
Its good for about 40 feet.  You can get more with 6 lb test, but you will
lose more sinkers.
After the 14 lb test is up, I tie 40 lb test to it, pull that up, then go
to 3/16 black Dacron (400 lb) which I use for my antenna support.
i think you can get more height with a bow and weighted arrow, but that
requires more hardware.
Be carefull when you launch the sinker, as you may lose 5 or 10 before you
are succesful.  Watch out for the neighbor's windows!
Good luck and have fun - its a blast!

Mike --

One cautionary note -- If you have to pull the line back because
the weight did not go where you want, bear in mind
that the weight will come
flying back at the hand pulling it.  Nylon fishing line is very
stretchy.  Pull to one side or wear a hard hat.

I haven't used a slingshot, but I have done it with a bow and arrow, which
worked fine.  I used 12-pound test monofilament line and then pulled up the
working line with that.  I have 120-foot trees on my property and the arrow
can easily clear them even when dragging the line.

I use a fishing pole with a spinning reel for this - a common 1 to 2
oz "sinker" takes it pretty far. You actually have a little control as
to controlling distance, which you don't have with the other methods.
For instance, as soon as my sinker clears the top of the tree, I can
"brake" it a bit to slow it so it doesn't also go over neighboring
trees.

I reel  the monofilament line "in" to pull a rope all the way back to
me from the other side of the tree, then disconnect the monofilament
and attach that rope on my side of the tree to the end of the
antenna's support and haul the antenna up from the other side with
that rope.

Incidentally, if you miss with the first cast, just cut the sinker off
and retrieve the monofilament line easily without any snag anywhere.

One time, I borrowed my son's bow and arrow outfit to try that method,
and accidentally imbedded one of his expensive arrows high in my pine
tree! Fortunately, it fell out by itself a couple weeks later.

like Jerry, I have an old surf rod and reel that is only used for
antenna work.  I use a golf ball with a hole bored thru to attach the
line.  The weight of a golf ball is a little light but is safer in
some cases.

Suspect this has been covered, sorry for any repetition. But the cheap
and easy solution is to drill out the handle of the wrist rocket, put
a threaded rod through that, through a short length of dowel, and clamp
the Zebco reel onto the dowel with two hose clamps. Then the reel is inline
(actually at 2 o'clock). This has worked extremely well for me.

Try a wrist slingshot--you can buy one at WalMart.  While you're there,
buy a cheapo Zebco 202 reel and a couple of small hose clamps.  Clamp the
reel to one side of the frame of the wrist slingshot, then use a 1/2 oz.
or so sinker.  Very easy to aim!  Good luck....

Use a light gauge nylon cord (buy it at the home improvement store, looks
like thick string) for the part that will remain permanently.

Experiment with 2-oz and 3-oz fishing weights, launching them over the tops
of trees with heavy monafilament.  Once that's done, use the monafilament
to pull the insulator (with your wire inserted) into place.

The formula 1005/f which we use to estimate the length of wire gives you
too much wire.  This is good, because it is easier to tune from this
direction, but you need to make sure at least one corner of your loop can
be drawn in by a significant amount to allow yourself this flexibility.

At the design frequency, around 30' above real earth, the impedance of the
antenna is around 75 to 100 ohms, so if you want to optimize the loop at
the design frequency you can feed it directly with 50 ohm coax, but if you
want to optimize it for the multiples also, feed with ladder line from a
balun or tuner, it will still work well at the design frequency, just not
as good a match.  Since this is a full-wave antenna, you get resonance at
the even multiples as well as the odd ones.

Best of luck and 73

Best bet is to use 10 lb monofilament first.  Once you get that over the
tree (and find the end - I use a small sinker and some fluorescent orange
streamers), tie at least 30 lb mono and pull that through.  Tie your rope
to the end of the 30 lb. mono.  This prevents breaking the light line if
you get tangled up in a branch.

BTW - I prefer to use the spinning rod method.  I can cast the line
generally where I want it anytime of the year.  The slingshots don't work
to well in New England when the temperature drops - they tend to lose
some of the elasticity (or I lose strength to pull it back).  Good luck,
though.

An alternative to the fishing reel connected to the slingshot is to get
one of those spool type cannisters bow hunters use.  Line spins out easily
and neatly. A more expensive proposition though.

73 and good luck.

I use a simple wrist slingshot (<$10), 20# monofilament and a 2oz sinker.
I lay out monofilament back and forth on ground (perpendicular to
direction of tree) and shoot in opposite direction from which I want to
pull my main line.  After shooting the monofilament I tie a 1/16"
nylon ahead of the sinker and wrap with electrical tape.  The I pull the
1/16" nylon over with the monofilament and attach the main rope to the 1/16"
nylon, tape, and draw it back. Spare sinkers are useful in case of goof.

Howdee.

Has anyone had any experience with the Ten-Tec VHF kits (2 or 6 M)?

I'm considering buying one to have the fun of building a kit and
getting ready for the next sunspot cycle.

Richard,

I built the Ten-Tec 1208 6 m xvrtr over a year ago.  It is a very good.  I
have tried a couple of other 6 meter transverter kits, but the Ten-Tec RX
is by far the best of all of them.

Mechnically, the kit is well designed.  You won't go wrong with that one.

Hope to hear you up here in CN89 in the Spring.

73 & 66 de VE7MDL                       ....Erik.

Good kit, but it is a very plain radio compared to the various
Japanese offerings, and it is somewhat larger than most of the
Japanese radios too. They aren't offered as kits, however. If
you want to build a 2m kit radio, this is the one to buy, nothing
else on the market comes close to it. If you're just looking for a
cheap way to get a 2m radio, though, buy a used Japanese transceiver.

I bought and build the 2 meter kit. Had a great time and learned as I
build it. Customer support is great. The manual goes back to the
Heath-kit days. TEN TEC has a web page-www.mvangle.com/ten tec/
While it is a very basic 2 meter rig, your can learn a lot by building
your own. If you are after whistles and bell, go over seas.

I built one shortly after they came on the market.  It is a "basic" two
meter rig in the sense that it does not have many "bells and whistles."

I believe that a recent issue of QST gave a quick report on it as well
as some other two meter radios.  Suggest you look this up (October or
November issue I believe).

If you want to build a kit for your own satisfaction or to experience
how a radio works, this is a great kit.  If you want a "good bargain" I
do believe that for a few dollars more a cheap Japanese rig would
maintain its resale value better, but that is my opinion.

I would buy the kit again for myself, it works fine and I like the fact
that it is simple to operate.  The audio is excellent in both Xmit and
Receive.  Seems to have fairly good intermod performance.

Good luck whichever way you go.  --Ed AA6NI

I bought it and built it.  I still don't have the transmitter PA going,
but I haven't spent enough time with it yet.  Whether this is a good buy
or not is subject to your opinion.

If you're wanting to build the rig for the fun of it (and bragging rights),
then do it.  It's a well-made PWB and it goes together easily.  The manual
is good also.  And you can't beat Ten-Tec's customer service.  If you have
a problem, they'll help you troubleshoot the rig over the telephone.  Just
try getting the Japanese manufacturers to do that!

However...
The TT-1220 lacks an S/RF meter.  It doesn't have a DTMF mic, and they
don't currently sell one.  It has no scanning capability.  There is no
provision for CTCSS on recieve.  It won't receive outside the 2m band
(which is a problem for Skywarn folks who need to pick up NOAA weather
radio).  The front end is very broad and is subject to intermod.

If you want performance, buy a Japanese 2m rig.  The TT-1220 with the
35 Watt PA will set you back about $280.  For less than $250, you can
buy a nice used late-model 2m rig.

It all depends on your wants and needs...

Hi OM's

I'm having a problem with my Omni-6.  I'm getting RF feedback through my audio
 circuit.
It's not a problem with the lower frequencies (80 or 40), but it is a problem
on 15, and
when I use my linear on 15, it's terrible.  I've tried different microphones,
and the
Ten-Tec amplified mike works the best (but it's still very bad).  Also, I have
 a good
low inductance ground that everything is tied to.  I've also tried two differe
nt
antenna's, a centerfed longwire, and an R5 vertical.  Both antenna's produce t
he same
result.  If I connect a dummy load, the problem goes away.  Also, if I use my
Kenwood
TS-850 instead of the Omni, there is no problem.

I've examined the audio board schematic for the Omni-6.  It has the typical by
pass caps,
but it doesn't use any negative feedback in the first audio stage.  I'm thinki
ng of
making a simple mod to add some negative feedback (I modeled the circuit via S
PICE, and
the mod should help quite a bit).

Before I start cutting traces and melting solder, I thought I'd ask if any of
the other
Omni-6 users have had similar problems.  If so, please let me know if you were
 able to
resolve the problem.

Thanks & 73,
Dan

Howdy Dan --

I don't know for sure about the  Omni VI but I've had a Paragon with
similar problems and I'll tell you what worked there.

First course though with ANY TenTec product new or used is to call
customer support at TenTec.  They are absolutely great and may have a
mod that they've worked out for your rig.

What worked for me was TWO things.  First they sent me a small ferrite
bead that slipped over the mic lead right inside the connector.  I
suspect that this did not do much but I don't know for sure.  What
solved the problem for me was putting a ferrite choke on the 12V power
lead into the rig.  It's interesting that this solved the problem for
me and I never gave it another thought until about a week after I sold
the rig and the new owner called with the same complaint.  I
suggested ferrite on the power line and never heard from him again so
I assume it did the trick.  Good luck and enjoy it.

I am looking into purchasing a rig, and I was a little confused by some of
the latest jargon used in the ads for the new transeivers.  For instance,
what is the meaning of  "DSQ",  "CLONING", and "WFM"?.  I have never come
across these terms before, and any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

I've talking to an ICOM America outside sales representative and she
said that the IC-756 will be available in the US around the end of Dec
or early Jan.  They are waiting for FCC approval which is guaranteed
since (she claimed) the radio exceeds all FCC standards.  It's just a
matter of the FCC getting around to it....

I left T.I. 10 years ago, but to the best of my recollection, the TMS1000
was a mask-programmed device.  You would have to get ICOM to order you
one as they own the mask.  It is also possible that T.I. semiconductor
has improved their processing lines to the point where they can't make
the TMS1000 any more.  I think that chip was designed for a 4" wafer, and
I don't think anyone runs a 4" line any more.

I'm working on a TS-120 which has a dead carrier oscillator. This is the
small board with the 9mhz osc on it. All voltages check fairly close and
nothing is visibily wrong. It just won't oscillate. I know this is the
problem because I checked for output with both the scope and freq counter
plus injected 9mhz with my signal generator and brought the rig to life.

Has anyone had this experience. I've checked all diodes and transistors
using the ohmmeter. I realize transistors can stop oscillating but rather
than beginning a total parts swapout, I though I'de ask on here first.
Any ideas?

Hi Scott ...

     I have a 450 and 690.  I do not disconnect the mic on either.

     I seem to remember that the pins on that accy connector were
labeled wrong ... or at least the translation into english made it sound
like two pins were interchanged.  I had to swap them to make things
work right.  I don't have the paperwork now so if your diagrams don't
suggest that flip-flopping two wires will work, let me know and I will
look it up.

Kemwood acknowleges a problem with the TNC overdriveing the audio cicuit
when you are in ssb mode.  This is described in their service bulletin
1002.  They give a fix that involves changing some surface mount parts.
Another solution is to use FSK  instead of AFSK thus leaving the audio
line disconnected.  They also recommend powering the PK-232 from a
different soure than the radio to reduce noise.
The service bulletin is "hidden" in their www home page - in their FTP
server.
Personally I am going to use separate power supplies anf FSK to solve the
problem.
Hope this helps -

Anyone have a mod to enable general coverage transmit on the TS-870S?

No, I don't plan to use it on CB!  I want to use it as an RF signal
generator.  I've done this with past Kenwoods (TS-430, 440, 850).

It's easy.  Connect a dummy load, crank the RF Output and Carrier pots
all the way down, select AM mode, and dial up your desired frequency.
Voila... a nice stable carrier on the desired frequency, with 10 Hz
readout!  Need modulation?  Add some (but keep the gain real low).

So... any help on this?

I try to fix an old TS510 with a PA problem. The tubes seems to be dead.
The only identification I can find is S2001 (Matsushita).

1) Is there an american (or european) substitute for those tubes?
2) Does this substitute have the same pinout?


I thank you very much.

My TS520 diagram is marked S2001, but it's actually fitted
with a pair of 6146Bs.

Thanks for your comprehensive report on the 570. To answer your question
on the tuner, a friend of mine has one and said the tuner used switched
capacitors instead of motorized air variables. His tuner failed after
tuning to a low impedance load (something like 14 - j2000). It provided
a match but two of the 2KV ceramic caps burned up. Kenwood thinks it's
his own fault but if the tuner provides a match then how would the
operator decide not to use it? Kenwood is sending him two caps anyway.
We think that the caps (in the output side of the T configuration)
actually had too much current causing them to sizzle.

Can I use a regular modem for a computer (telephone based) over ham radio?
Is the modem included with devices for packet radio and or RTTY the same as
a telephone modem?  I am on a tight budget and would like to use my modem
if possible. I have a USR Robotics Sportster 14400.

Thank You.

You would have to make a few modifications for a modem to work with your radio
.
A telcommodem is expecting a continuous carrier from the non-originatingg
modem.  A TNC is a simplex device, and doesn't need a carrier to maintain a
connection.  You could set up a pair of radios and try to get them act in the
same manner as a repeater (in a duplex mode), but the other end would have to
be set up in the same manner.  This also requires one of the radios to be
operating at a 100% duty cycle.  Also, for the duration of the connection, you
will be transmitting a carrier, thus blocking anyone else using the frequency.

As far as a limited budget, try looking into a TNC like the Kantronics KPC3
(what I use), which run about $150 (high estimate).  With a TNC, you can have
multiple connects, and a built in pbbs.  I have since upgraded the memory to
128K and  installed a KA-node chip.  Both upgrades took less than a half hour.

Some limitations are the KPC3 has a max baud of 1200, but I really don't notic
e
it because I'm not transferring a ton of data in any one burst, and I have a
19.2 transfer rate between the TNC and the computer.  another limitation is
that you have to add the HF port if you want to do anything below 50MHz.

Hope this is of some help, and hope it didn't scare you off of packet.

I *highly* recomend the TEKK radios for 9600 baud. I use the KS900.
If you need more power, it is simple to add an external amplifier.
Use one which is diode switched and which allows external TR keying.
I use a surplus 50 watt Motorola amp intended for in car use with
their HTs, but most of the amateur market HT amplifiers will work
as well.  Just strap PTT from the TNC to *both* the radio and the
amp. Works great, costs little. Do *not* depend on RF sense switching,
too slow.

The only real negative to the TEKK radios is the receiver. They
are not robust in the presence of strong signals from other services.
So if you intend to use one on a commercial site, you'll need a good
set of cavities. They work fine in the typical home station environment,
however.

As alternatives, you can convert Motorola Micors and Mitreks to
9600 baud service. They're much better on commercial sites, and
of course run more power too. This isn't quite the plug-n-play
of the TEKK, but if you're comfortable converting Motorola
equipment to amateur operation, it is a good option.

Hello ALL

I am interested in getting some info as to what Data Radio to buy.  My
local BBS wants to go 9600, they already have the kpc9612 and are
seeking a suitable radio.

They have a tekk1000l in mind but I understand that there are possibly
better alternatives.  They would prefer something with MORE than 5
watt output.

If anyone has info about either a commercial radio or what radio can
be modified to work at an acceptable level on 9600....

I keep running into references to the use of a grid-dip meter for measuring
the frequency of resonance of antennas and circuits.  I sure would like to
know the resonant frequency of some antennas I am building.  I have an
MFJ-259 and could get the grid-dip meter attachment (some coils) for it.
Could some kind soul please tell me what a grid-dip meter is and how I
might apply one?  Or point me to some references?

through 9. The only weird thing about it is that the actual CTCSS tone
freqs are not displayed..only the codes corresponding to them. Repeater
directories now are listing actual freqs, so you really need to keep the
appropriate manual page handy. Which I did....just reduced the page and
stuck it right in the repeater directory.

For the right price, it's pretty bullet-proof and hard to beat.

We've been runing both the 27A and the 27H for over 7 years in two
vehicles.  Based on advice from my father in law (who spent a lot of time
fixing 27Hs), we backed the 27H output power down to 35W.  Except for an
intermittent DTMF generator in one of the microphones, we haven't had any
problems.

Ed

The proper location is "rec.radio.swap".   The
"rec.radio.amateur.equipment" forum is for equipment discussion only.

    NOT quite so!  Most people post sell/buy on rec.radio.swap.
There are more than 100 postings a day there.

I agree with the TS-120 or 130 being a great starter rig... I do not
find the 747 to be a good choice because although it is solid and
reliable its selectivety is poor in SSB and it lacks and IF tuning.  The
now discontinued TS-140 is a very good rig. Very solid, Packet/RTTY
ready, better selectivy (compared to 747) and IF shift tunning. I have
used one mobile and as station backup for 4 years without a hitch. It is
also very SWR tolerant ( I used it mobile without a tuner with excel
results)

Does anyone out there have an SBE-34 transceiver gathering dust in their
collection?  It was one of the first (mostly) transistorized rigs in the
1960's when I was too young and poor to afford one-now I want one for
sentimental value.  I posted something on here several months ago and
received a response from a ham in Arizona, procrastinated and now can't
find the notes.  So if you're out there, or anyone else has one, let me
know.  There was also a linear amplifier called the SB2-LA that went
with it.  I'd be interested in one of those also.  The stuff was made by
Sideband Engineers, (SBE).

I have a brand new Iron Plate Transformer, custom made by Peter Dahl and sized
 for my Henry Two K Classic Amp. Its primary winding is 220v and secondary win
ding is 4500v at 2 amps. This is what every Ham needs to built a Amp. This Tra

For the finals, the alignment calls for adjusting VR7002 for 6 mV
across R7027, which is 0.025 ohms, so that's... let's see... I get 240
mA.

For the drivers, adjust VR7001 for 40 mV across R7014, which is 5 ohms
(I think), so that's 8 mA.

Just bought Yaesu FT1000D (NOT the MP).  So far, am quite pleased, but I
am beginning to notice a few problems, and would like to know if anyone
else out there has seen these and has obtained fixes for them.  Are
there any service bulletins related to these that anyone knows of?  :

(1) Very audible blower noise.  Apparently a common complaint. Mine
makes a slight "groaning" noise as it comes on and turns off.  Most
people say "get used to it" or "use headphones" but I don't care for
either answer.

(2) Audio intermod/distortion when copying CW, if there are a large
number of strong CW signals in the passband (like a pile up).  Mostly
when on 250 or 500 hz settings.  Normally not noted when copying only
one signal.  Yes, the NB is OFF when this happens.

(3) Slight AGC overshoot, i.e. AGC attact time is a bit slow causing
some audible distortion right at the onset of a voice peak. (This could
also be the cause of (2) above).

(4) NB really doesn't seem to work that well.  Distorts voice signals
when adjusted high enough to blank line noise.  ( may not be adjusting
it right.)

I've checked the two Yaesu FAQ news groups and no hints there.  ANy help
out there?  Any other discussion regarding the FT-1000D?

Thanks,

Jim N4BE

I am considering purchasing either the FT-50 or TH-79. Aircraft AM
reception is also a must.

A like the look of the TH-79, but the FT-50 seems to be the best
featured.

Has anyone had any experience with these?, which one should I buy?

My opinion: The FT-50 is a very nice radio, and obviously very
popular. The HT I would keep if it were my last is the FT-51, though.
The alpha capabilities, dual receive, and intermod rejection put it
above the FT-50 for my needs. I do own both, though, and I might feel
differently if wide receive range very important to me.

I think you couldn't go very wrong with either the FT-50 or the FT-51.
I have never heard of an FT-51 owner who did not like it.

   I don't own either of these, but it seems like an apples/oranges
   comparison. The TH-79 has two receiver sections so it can receive
   two frequencies simultaneously (either both on the same band or
   two separate bands). The FT-50 has only one receiver, even though
   it has modes to monitor two frequencies by switching back and forth.

   If true dual band receive is not a concern for you, then I would
   think the FT-50 has the advantage.

Two other points for comparison:

1. Kenwood has an external connector on the side for 7-12 volt direct power
and charging, Yaesu requires an add on connection assembly that must fit
onto the bottom of battery contacts (KW connectors avail from RadioShack).

2. The Yeasu has a direct battery voltage display if selected.  The KW does
not (must check battery voltage by approx. power out on meter while
transmitting).

I'm in agreement about "buy the FT-50R", as I have owned one for
several months.  Fine little HT.

But, there IS a d.c. power connection on the side of the radio, you do
not have to hook up to the battery with an adapter as stated above.

Had a TH-79 and while it was a very nice ergonomic radio to use w/ 2
recievers. It didn't seem to be nearly as sensitive as the FT-50 is.
Used it with many antennas
until someone stole it out of the back of my rental car (DOH!)

The FT-50 wouldn't do much in the Aircraft Bands until I added the
Diamond SRH-519
Antenna. This is a wide range recieve, amateur TX antenna. Looks kinda
thin and wimpy but WHAT a difference! This thing is now as sensitive as
the King KX-99 Aircraft portable I own. Very good AM detector in my
book. Antenna helped VHF Hi. UHF & 800 significntly as well.

FT-50 gets my nod.

Slight correction. The Yaesu does have a connector on the side - at
least mine does! However, it's a Sony Walkman connector, not easy to get
except from Yaesu dealers, and costs in the UK about 6 UKP (compared
with less than one UKP for a 'normal' power connector. The set will only
trickle charge through this connector, and needs the bottom connectors
for a fast charge.

In addition, the Yaesu has an SMA antenna connector - presumably to meet
the MIL-STD 610 spec, and quite welcome considering the problems you can
get with BNC connectors. However, you do need an adaptor (again, from
Yaesu at a price) to connect a BNC terminated lead or antenna or else
have to buy an expensive SMA connector.

Earphone and mic connector is also not standard on the FT-50 - you need
an adaptor for the four-terminal jack socket.

Maybe all this sounds a bit negative about the FT-50, but I'm happy with
mine.

The VX-10's FTT-15 keypad/encription will not work on the
FT-50. Different plug and wrong firmware on the amateur model.
Nice try though.

The VX-10 and the FT-50 are in the same case. Alpha display is
better w/ more chars. than the 50. VX-10 is single band.

Only after dropping the radio a cement floor. The battery doesn't
respond well to that kind of impact. After prying the catch back out the
unit still works fine...

Try replacing the fast-blow fuses in the power cord with some slow-blow
fuses.

My 890 kept cutting out on me and I discovered the fuses were at fault.
Seems the current drawn by the radio would cause them to break and as
the current was cut (blown fuse) the fuse would "heal itself".

Drove me nuts ... the fuses tested ok on a resistance check.

Let me know if this helps!

What exactly does this mod do? I have a friend who may want to buy one.
If he does or doesn't, he still would like to know what the mod does.

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. 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
$700 each.

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.

Yes, there are plenty mods.
I just recently changed my IC-T7A to an IC-T7E.
I received some information by E-Mail from somebody who owns a
service manual for the radio:
When you open the radio you find a set of diodes on the
PC board behind the keyboard. The diodes are not marked, that's
why it is hard to identify them. There location is in the area
of the '1' key on the keyboard.
There are three double diodes (Three pin devices) and several
regular diodes. Interrupting connection on the upper most double
diode will convert the radio from IC-T7a to IC-T7E.
I have not tried any of the other hardware mods because I am
quite happy with this outcome.
There is however also a software mod:
Pressing 'Band' and 'Moni' when turning the radio on, will give
you extended receive.

Good luck!

Like you, I am also a new no-code Technician.  I bought a Yaesu FT-50R
and love it.  I carry it in my belt pack when walking or bicycling, in
my pack when backpacking, in my car with a magnetic mount antenna, and
in my house with a discone antenna for scanning.  It has 100 memories,
can listen to two channels at once, is compact, is extremely rugged (I
have dropped mine about a dozen times now), has very wide coverage in
the scanner (wider with simple modifications).  With a 5/8 wave Comet
magnetic mount antenna on my Jeep and 5 watts output from my FT-50R
from Denver, Colorado I can talk to the Fort Collins repeater, about
60 miles.  From the living room of my house in Loveland, Colorado
using a rubber duck on the FT-50R I can wake up the repeater in
Boulder, about 45 miles.  For a good time, standing on the second
story of a building in Fort Collins I woke up the Colorado Springs
repeater on top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, about 100 miles.
My signal was pretty scratchy, I was told.

I got my FT-50R from Ham Radio Outlet in Denver, Colorado.  They do
mail order and phone order with a credit card.

Eventually, for another $200 you can get a Mirage dual band linear
amplifier, which gives you 45+ Watts on VHF and 35+ Watts on UHF, the
same as you would get with a full blown mobile dual-band unit.  So the
FT-50R can double as a very usable mobile or base station.  With VHF
and UHF amplifier you can even talk to satellites.  I am told you can
talk to some of the new ones with just the rubber duck but have not
met anyone who has done so yet.

Consider an Arrow Antennas VHF folding Yagi "Backpacker" (TM) model
(about 18" long in a stuff sack and about 1.5 lbs), or an Arrow
Antennas "Walking Stick" (TM) VHF or UHF Yagi (about 4 feet long, with
all the elements fitting inside the main beam).  Available from
Antennas West, on the Web or in adverts in all the ham radio
magazines.

The stock Yaesu rubber duck antenna that comes with the FT-50R sucks.
I got a Comet SMA-3 aftermarket duck and get much better receive and
transmit with it.

I have used the "QRV" system from Antennas West. It is so good and easy
to use I am amazed every time I use it. I never lose a line and never

Thanks very much for the info, Gary. I was just curious about this
kit. I already have 2 Meter gear. (Still looking for a used all-mode,
though.) I saw an ad for the Ten-Tec kit and wanted to see what others
here thought of it.

  What are the "extended receive" frequency ranges for both receivers in
the FT-51?

I recently purchased a used 757GX (from HRO) to give me reason to get
that license!
Will use it for SWL until then.

I noticed that in the manual, the original owner (who I don't know)
placed a mod sheet for extended receive.  What is the effect of this
mod?  The sheet did not give a lot of details.  I have not taken the rig
apart to check to see if the mod is still in effect.

My email address is [e-mail]

        I purtchased a IC-3230H from him via Fed Express.  The radio
had no RF output on UHF.  When I opened the case to see if anything
was possibly disconnected...a capacitor fell out of the case and I
could smell the odor of burnt transistor smoke.
        Of course he dinies any of this and upon confronting him via
email he said this and I quote,
>>Let me know what it costs for the repair
>>and we'll see if we can work something out.  Again I'm sorry this happened.
>>

        BTW here is what he said originally:

>>It is in Great Condition
>>Comes with all original accessories
>>Also comes with Speech Unit &
>>DTMF / PL Decode Unit
>>
>>Asking $350.00 plus shipping obo


        Anyway...he can now say what he wants in response to this but
the facts are that the radio was not operating properly and I had to
spend several hundred dollars for ICOM to repair it.
        The money is spent and I now have a great radio....so I have
the last laugh.

Quality at many companies is rapidly deteriorating.  I would say, on
average, one out of three computer items that I buy must be sent back.  I
have had better luck with other products but the downward trend is still
clearly evident.  Perhaps this is inevitable in a fiercely competitive
market, where the balance has not yet been found between price vs. quality
vs. features.

This is why I like Harris equipment.  Solid design, repairable, reputable
manufacturer who is willing to help even hams and will sell parts for
reasonable cost, and great performance.  And, of course, made right here in
the good 'ole US of A.

I recently bought a YK-88C filter for my TS-130se HF rig. After
installation, I noticed that the filter attenuates the signal quite a bit.
I'm talking from a volume control set at 2 before the filter is engaged to
about 8 or 9 after the filter is engaged just to hear anything. Is this
normal, or did I get a bum filter? Anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks & 73.

A while back I posted a want for some crystals for my old IC22 2M rig
that I really needed to make it useful again, Marvin Jones, W3DHJ
replied to the post offering to swap the ones I needed for some that
he needed. Only catch was that I didn't have his needed freq's. I
offered to buy the ones he had, and asked him to let me know what he
wanted for them. After a few days I was surprised to get an envelope
from him with the crystals inside, and a note saying "enjoy!".

Some times when you get disgusted after reading the flames about 'Net
scams, a real live ham turns up and brings back the things I remember
about hobbies from a long time ago.
Many thanks to a real gentleman, and a real ham! The 22 is up and
running fine.It might even provide the incentive for the XYL to get
her no-code, as it is not quite as intimidating a little rig to use.

Actually, you're offering too much.  I see them go for $100 to $110
NEW now.  It's probably worth about $75 w/o the mobile bracket.

I have been following the slingshot/bow-arrow discussion with interest. I
have been using the slingshot method here in Oregon for years to place lines
over our 100'+ fir trees. Most of the methods described over the past few
days work well ... sling shot, bow and arrow, etc. The piece I would add,
learned from the school of hard knocks, is to use a 5-10 foot leader line
between the projectile (fishing weight, arrow, tennis ball, etc) and the
main monofilament line. This ensures that if you get the projectile caught
in the tree ... (usually wrapped around a limb), you can pull the
monofilament line and it will break at the point it's hung, versus half way
up the tree. This has the added benefit that when the leader breaks, the
weight will often fall to the ground. This scheme will prevent having long,
unsightly strings of snagged monofilament line hanging down the side of your
trees.

BTW, if you have the 1996 ARRL Handbook, I describe my approach on page 20.7

Enjoy ...

It is obvious (once removed) that the "resistor" was installed for the
purpose of restricting access from the bands that the radio was not type
accepted for or may not meet all of the specifications desired by the
manufacture or user.

I am happy to amaze you but cellular is a by-product of this mod and for
many, I doubt, the purpose. Sorry, but if you had your hands on one of these
radios you would find that most of the transmit capability is usable. Also
many manufactures allow and recommend certain modifications be done by the
owner/operator. Probably not this one though. :) It is only one step from
being the MARS/CAP mod as far as hardware goes anyway.

Before you comment negatively you should know the Mod or the product that
you are talking about. The after mod specs on this radio prove that it may
well be very capable on other than HAM bands. Responsible persons will not
use the radio unlicensed or in a way that will interfere with other users.
While we both could discuss the finer points of the regs pertaining to "Type
Acceptance", it should only come into play when there is misuse by the
operator or interference by the radio/operator  and not possesion or
modification.

If you doubt any of the information pertaining to this radio or the
modification buy one, modify it and find out. Take a chance, be a little
less conservitive. Get a life . .  . oh sorry that was your line.

> Get a life people!

Really, have a good day and don't sweat the small stuff.

BTW a friend of mine calls the radio "That James Bond" thing.

He is (you are) 100% correct. This is one fine radio and besides all
that check out http://members.gnn.com/hca/ft50/index.htm for more info.

Hello.
I've just updated my FTV program, which does FAX & SSTV using a SoundCard,
to decode Baudot using the same (FM) demodulation engine.

Here is a run down of the more interesting features:

(1) It keeps the demodulated signal in memory, so that the signal can be
analysed again at a different keying rate or polarity! Garbage can be
resampled on the fly, which means that minutes of received signals decoded
at the wrong baud rate or keying polarity are recovered, on the fly, while
still receiving.

(2) Keying rate and polarity are analysed automatically - standard baud
rates are automatically set following analysis.

(3) Tuning oscilloscope available at all times, without loss of copy.

(4) Program works in real time.

(5) I wrote it, and I love it - I myself can't believe it works so well!

Download your copy of FTV from my web site, at:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2504

System requirements, and the standard features of FTV are described in the
following page:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/2504/ftv.htm

By the way, AM signals from low orbiting weather satellites are also
decoded - no extra interfaces needed. Demodulation mode is user selectable
in software.


Hope you all have a load of fun receiving 'words and pictures' - I hope to
get some feedback !

All the best from Brian, 9H1JS, on the Island of Malta.

Would like to hear about positive and negative experiences with the
Yaesu FT-1000MP. How does the rig compare to the QST review?  Does it
live up to your expectations?  If you have had direct experience with
the FT-1000D, IC-775DSP, IC-781, TS-950SDX, TS-870S, or Omni VI, would
like to read your comparative impressions. Email or post to this thread.

I believe he is referring to the FT-51r with an EDC-12, consider it a needless

Fortunately Radio Shack here in the states carries both items you
mentioned. The power plug is a 4.0mm and they just started carrying it
this year. You have to make the cable yourself but it is for pennies
compared to what Yeasu wants for them. The SMA to BNC connector is also
lately carried by the shack.

Now I just need to find them. Ideas?

I have had my radio do the same only when near some highly interfering RF sour

28.8 modem. I say this because where I connect for ADMS software use always te
nds to
open the squelch no matter what the freq or pl tone is. Remember in order for
the tone
squelch to come into play the signal must have been strong enough to break the
 RF
squelch first. You may want to check your RF environment or just turn-up squel

reactance

I measured the radio and here are the measurements: 5 1/2" Wide 1 5/8" Tall 6"
 Deep
(rounded off to the nearest/greatest 1/8")
The deep meausrement is from the back of the fan to the front of the faceplate
 not
including the knobs (add 1/2" for the knobs). Hope this helps as I have seen y
our post
a few times earlier but could not tell what you were asking.
 The Wideband fuction of this radio has a serious flaw; while connected to a b
ase
discone it receives imaging across the entire span. I havent put it in the veh
icle yet
to see how much less sensitive it is to intermod and imaging. It is still a ve
ry fine
radio. Just thought you'd like to know.

        I purtchased a IC-3230H from him via Fed Express.  The radio
had no RF output on UHF.  When I opened the case to see if anything
was possibly disconnected...a capacitor fell out of the case and I
could smell the odor of burnt transistor smoke.
        Of course he dinies any of this and upon confronting him via
email he said this and I quote,
>>Let me know what it costs for the repair
>>and we'll see if we can work something out.  Again I'm sorry this happened.
>>

        BTW here is what he said originally:

>>It is in Great Condition
>>Comes with all original accessories
>>Also comes with Speech Unit &
>>DTMF / PL Decode Unit
>>
>>Asking $350.00 plus shipping obo


        Anyway...he can now say what he wants in response to this but
the facts are that the radio was not operating properly and I had to
spend several hundred dollars for ICOM to repair it.
        The money is spent and I now have a great radio....so I have
the last laugh.

I have that problem with my yaesu ft-530.  When Tone Squelch is activated
and the normal squelch is all the way down, the  Tone Squelch periodicaly
fails.  I have no explanation for this phenomenon.

I was shocked to see that "the cadillac" brand of amateur radio would put
out such a faulty product.

I don't think it's American management philosophy to blame here, Erik,
it's that hams are (ahem) frugal. That's why the TS520 was such
effective bait.

And it isn't just Americans. I was born with one leg in Canada, and
there are a lot of cross-border shoppers.

But it isn't just ham gear that's turned into caca since the TS520, most
commercial electronics are plastic crap. Come to think of it, so are
most cars. Come to think of it...

in my FT-1000D are out of adjustment.  That is an easy procedure to

have the procedure.

Can anyone help, please.

Drop me an E-Mail.

Just out of curiosity...
Does anyone know why the price of the ICOM 728 has shot up to almost
1200 buckeroos US?  Seems to me when I bought a Yaesu FT840 about two
years ago, the Icom was only about a hundred or so more $$ (paid 850 for
the Yaesu).

Not SO old! And, VERY good, besides :-)

Really! The 2SAT was introduced about seven years ago, and kicked off the
trend toward really small HTs that hasn't faded yet.

The weak point is the internal nicad battery - it's too small to be of any
real use, and if it hasn't been replaced recently, probably is dead anyway.
Don't bother fixing it, just use one of the BP-8x series packs and forget
the internal one - it sure doesn't add much weight ;-) Better yet, get a
BP-80 shell for six AA-cells, and have the flexibility of rechargeable,
renewals, alkalines, or AA-lithiums.

The 2SAT is also a pretty good little packet rig. Have fun - but wait until
that ticket shows up :-(

73,

Stan

Hi,

I've done this on the 1000D and though it is not brain surgery, it is a
really tight place to get into. You have to drop the front panel which
is connected by wiring that is too short to make it possible to get much
of a tool into the adjustment caps. I don't have the repair manual or
the radio so I can't help you on the details. I would suggest however
that although Yaesu reccommends setting the lower edge of the passband
to around 300 Hertz I would set it lower.....say around 200 Hertz or so.

Chuck, KE9UW

I did not have an FT736R when I worked satellite two to three years ago,
but I used a Mirage D-3010N UHF amplifier to boost my uplink signal to
about 80-100 watts (the Yaesu UHF FT790 put out 25 w).  I used a mast
mounted 2M preamp, a Mirage KP2/2M, and used short runs of Belden 9913
and type N connectors.  That combination, combined with good satellite
antennas, worked well for me.

Good luck

A friend just faxed me information on a 2 meter rig from Motorola.  It
states the AP50 is 138-174 Mhz, 5 watt, available in a compact size, and
standard size, available from a guy in California.  The local Motorola
dealers don't have a clue on this.  According to the guy in California,
it is type accepted ( UHF is currently not).
It starts out at $249, with an alakaline pack.  Seems like a neat rig.
20 channels, 5 wattt, DTMF, PL, DPL, LCD readout, and programmable from
the front panel.  At a local hamfest last year, I saw the 450
counterpart, but it was not type accepted last year.  This was probably
the CP-50, but quite honestly at a hamfest, I didn't remember all the
details.
Anyone out there seen these radios?

Different section for VHF-FM. HF FM is actually a bit narrower at
+/- 3.5KHz. There are separate deviation controls for each. However,
once set using the Bessell Null Technique, no adjustment of deviation
should be necessary.

I run mine with the mic gain at 8 and the compressor on for HF. The
compressor level is in the default 12 o'clock position. I get consistant
excellent audio reports on both HF/VHF SSB and VHF FM.

Mark,

From the thread I have been reading, the bashing has been about Barry
Electronics and not New York.

I live in Manhattan and I don't know of any good Ham radio stores close
by.  Barry's, in my opinon, is the worst.  But if you know of a good
store nearby, please let me know.  I've been looking for two years now.

Good point.  Carrier oscillator alignment can have a heck of an
effect on the performance of the filter in line.  Not hard to fiddle
with, either.  I have had that problem once with my Kenwood TS 440.
Check your manuals.

My point was the fact that the only justification in first removing this
resistor was that it appeared to be installed after the radio was built.

I have TWO of these radios. Bith were purchased when the radios first
were available in the US.

You are seriously confused here. No manufacturer has ever encouraged nor
recommended a mod to be performed after the sale. Most recommend against
it, in fact. Can you say goodbye warranty??

See above!

Wrong. Anybody with half an electronics minded brain can tell you why
this mod "works" and also why this rig will never be a capable performer
out of the ham bands. Filters, filters, filters.

>Responsible persons will not use the radio unlicensed or in a way that will i

I won't even bother commenting on this one.

Hi folks,
I have two AEA PK90 TNCs in unused condition, but several years old.
I have no DC supplies or cables, and only one manual. They both work fine.
Someone might like to buy them BOTH, because:

The PK-90 is a commercial grade TNC with a number of special features,
including ENCRYPTION. They also have fully specified environmental
performance,
such as 0 to +55 deg C operating, 30,000 ft altitude, vibration and shock
etc.

The PK-90 has up to 9600 baud capability using the modem disconnect header
and 1200 baud using
the internal modem. It has KISS and Host Mode, and can (so the manual says)
be used for SMR/Trunked Radio. It is also fully remote controllable and
supports AX25
levels 1 and 2.

Questions and offers (preferably for both units) to
[e-mail]

Am I mistaken, or isn't the FT-8000R able to receive DC to daylight
(except for cellular) out of the box?

I am considering purchasing one, and this information would also be
helpful for me, too.

I've got a TH-28A which has 440 RX and 144 TX & RX.  My problem is that the
downlink frequency of AMRAD is around 436 Mhz and my radio doesn't go below
438 Mhz in the 440 Mhz band.  Is their some type of modification I can do to
my radio to increase its recieve capability?  If you can help email me.

Just bought a Mirage 310G for my ICOM 706.  Thought I'd read that there
were instruction on how to get output of 706 down to level required to
feed the amplifier, bugt coudn't find them - maybe it was an article on
the Tucker 100W amp - understand they got out of ham market.  Anyone out
there tried this or have a source for details on reducing ouput of 706
down to about 8 watts????? Thanks !!!! Prefer email at
[e-mail].  73.

I have a motorola radius radio I picked up and was wondering if there is
a way to find out what frequency the crystal is.  Any help would be
greatly apreciated.  Please respond by e-mail to

Out of the box is 110mhz-550mhz, 750mhz-1300mhz minus cellular. I have
an FT50R Ht and modified it to receive well beyond the specs (no
software gaps from 50-999mhz and unbelievable transmit capability).
I love the FT8000 and the features. As far as the Ham bands it cover it
does an extremely good job. Outside of that, however, images and
intermod galore. Cellular can be found at 1150+ mhz.
Very little operation from the mic. (no dierct freq entry)
No DCS, yet. It seems the display can show it but I think it may be a
new board not yet available. CTCSS works well and the PAGE is a neat
function.
Large well lit display easy to use (once you get used to it)
Cross band repeat is fast and clear.
I am working on a $150-200 auto-phone patch for it hope I know enough to
get it done
Lots of features

Enjoy

I did it again. Its is very important to put the "-" dash or minus sign
between the ten-tec

I had it right in my book mark section but wrong on my note pad of sites.
 so once again, I apologize for my ignorance.

For Fuel pump noise:
HF rigs, and VHF rigs to a lesser extend suffer from pump noise in a
mobile installation. To solve, connect a .1uf capacitor across the fuel
pump terminals, right outside the fuel tank. Be careful when dealing
with this area, especialy if youi intend to use a soldering iron. Better
get your garage mechanic to do the mod. This will fix the problem. You
may also want to wire 25 bifilar turns of 18gauge insulated wire over a
large toroid and use it to connect the power to the rig. This will clear
whatever else noise remains.

For Yaesu 8000R mods.
General transmit (140-174, and 410470). Enter frequency 1234.560 on
the right side. Power off. Power on again.
Am mode manually toggled. On the lft side, if you press F/W followed
by VFO, you get AM mode (110-280). This enables AM mode on the UHF
aviation band.

Intermod. The wide receive of the radio leads to extensive intermod
where signals get picked up everywhere. This can be solved by using
S meter squelch. Set it to 7 or 9 and you will only get valid
transmitters.

This is a great radio with many features, of which the auto search and
store is by far the best. I was in Tucson for a week and this way I
tuned in all the repeaters being used in the area giving my instant
access to other hams.

Best,
Peter, KC1QF

        I purtchased a IC-3230H from him via Fed Express.  The radio
had no RF output on UHF.  When I opened the case to see if anything
was possibly disconnected...a capacitor fell out of the case and I
could smell the odor of burnt transistor smoke.
        Of course he dinies any of this and upon confronting him via
email he said this and I quote,
>>Let me know what it costs for the repair
>>and we'll see if we can work something out.  Again I'm sorry this happened.
>>

        BTW here is what he said originally:

>>It is in Great Condition
>>Comes with all original accessories
>>Also comes with Speech Unit &
>>DTMF / PL Decode Unit
>>
>>Asking $350.00 plus shipping obo


        Anyway...he can now say what he wants in response to this but
the facts are that the radio was not operating properly and I had to
spend several hundred dollars for ICOM to repair it.
        The money is spent and I now have a great radio....so I have
the last laugh.

It helps me and quite a few other hams I talk to. It takes some learning
how to orient the noise antenna and adjust the phase and gain. The book
gives lots of help. I use mine along with the noise blanker and get
super results most times. This summer I wouldn't have been able to hear
during the day if not for this ANC-4. There is no doubt that it works
well but there may be noise from several sources or hams with little
patience that the unit won't work for them.

Check out the back portion of Amateur Radio Trader magazine.  Starks
Electronics, [phone] claims they have them.  I have never done
business with them so I have no idea about their rep.  If you do
purchase through Starks, please E-mail me about their service.  I am
always intereste in a source for Motorola Micors or GE's for repeater
application.

I would like to buy some early/mid 70s Heathkit catalogues.
I will pay $3 each (and you pay shipping out of the $3).

I have been told, with some emphasis, that trickle chargers let power-line
spikes get through.  I.e., you should not even be receiving with the
charger connected; you should always have the rig disconnected from the
battery when the battery is being charged.

I am open to other opinions on this.

I'm having a problem storing frequencys in memory. In the vfo mode I
enter the frequency, offset, etc. Press the "m" key,select the memory
channel,then press the "mr" key. At this time the ht "locks up". No
functions work at all. Removing the battery is the only way to get out
of it. I have reset both the vfo and the microprocessor but stll unable
to store anything.
Has anyone had this problem? As per the manual I think I'm doing it
properly. All other functions seen to work fine.
Help???

 Hev you thought of using a Satellite TV tuner .They have IF's
 at variuos frequencies depending on model  e.g. 70MHz,
  250 MHz,480MHz.You could even use a cheap surplus
  Sat. Rcvr. form a rally or a delaer who has old ones from
  customers who've upgraded their system....

I sent my Standard 5718DA off to get serviced. I own three, and I don't know
if the one I sent off was supposed to be under warrenty or not. I included a
good description of the problem and my return address and phone number. Six
days latter I got the radio back, fixed. No questions, no problems, no hassel.

They may be more expensive, but with service like that I think they are worth
it.

What's the point....it can't be so bad that you wouldn't accept it if it
were free!

In any case, it is a neat little rig, but clearly one of Icom's lesser
successes. The receiver is much more subject to intermod than pretty
much any other Icom rig. Battery life is poor. However, all you have to
do is have extra batteries and move to North Dakota and you'll be fine.

Definitely a super free radio.

What an offensive, bigoted statement by some old fart apparently still
living in the WWII era!

It is not only offensive, but it is ridiculous. "There's a 99% chance
you'll be sending it back for warranty repairs to fix"? What kind of
statement is that? Since it can't possibly be true, is there any meaning
to it at all?

I suppose the solution to the "quality crisis" is for good 'mericans to
buy 'merican, regardless of our own historical "quality crisis" or "cost
competitiveness crisis" or "market awareness crisis". Yep....lets slap a
heavy tariff on the "Japs" and stop the crisis!!!

One guy's bad luck and he goes nuts trashing the only viable source for
decent equipment....and offending a whole race of people while he's at
it. If you don't like the "japs", stick with your crummy Ten-Tec...or
buy one of those "Patriot" rigs that look like they have been assembled
in someone's garage.

This what I have liked about GE. The old MastrII or MastrPro is still
hard to beat. Even the MVP series is good. If you could still get a
synthesizer to put on one would be perfect.

and since I'm relatively new to this hobby, I would like to know where
to get extra information on this transceiver, like computer

All that the simple Kenwood TM-V7A flyer says is that it has AM
Aircraft Receive... it doesn't even quote how wide the two intended
bands of operation are, let alone any other "wideband" capabilities.
It is all pure marketing hype about the color of the display,
microphone keypad  backlighting and the menuing software, but little
else of consequence.  Somewhere along the line they forgot this was
supposed to be a radio!

I wish the manufacturers would go back to making REAL amateur band
radios that work on the Amateur bands and are free of intermod-related
problems.  My own opinion is that if you want or "need" something
else, then buy something else (maybe a scanner?).

Trying to shoehorn DC-to-Light capabilities into Amateur transceivers
has only resulted in radios with lousy performance on the amateur
bands.  Somewhere along the line, Amateur transceivers became scanners
and computers with cheezy radios attached.  Radios 10 to 20 years old
simply out-perform the current gems in terms of receiver performance.
If you can't hear 'em, you can't work 'em!

This brings up something that happened to me. My first attempts were to
use tennis balls with packing twine taped to the ball. I would throw the
tennis ball over the tree limb I wanted my wire to go to, however my aim
was poor and I missed many times. On several attempts, the twine broke
leaving the tennis ball hanging 30 feet up in the tree. The tree ended
up with at least 3 tennis balls hanging in it. My wife noticed and
mentioned that she always wondered if there were male and female trees
and now knew that that tree was a 'male' because of the balls (tennis)
hanging from it! The previous appender is really right. I know use 15 lb
fishing line and a hardball with an eyescrew. If I go over the wrong
limb or get wrapped around one, a good hard pull will either break it or
pull free from the eyescrew.

      Have a look at the Icom 706.  A few more dollars, but you also get
2M all mode capability.  Congratulations on the upgrade.

I am looking for any mods or info on the ICOM IC-701 HF transceiver.

Looking for expanded frequency mods, ICOM service manual or notes,
computer control info, power output, etc.

I know that alot of mods use to be around for this radio, especially
in older magazines like QST. If you remember seeing any or have some
old magazines that you could look over, please email me if you find
any mods. The expanded frequency mod was the most popular one.

For anyone how does own an ICOM IC-701, I have listed the date of
a magazine below for a simple computer interface. Control your
IC-701 rig right from your computer just like the new HF

Hello Butch:

I also built the 2 meter Ten Tech. It was incredibly fun. I agree that
th features are limited, but I almost never use 99% of the features of
my other 2m rigs. As has been stated, the sound and transmitter are
really excellent. The receiver was not the best out of the box, but
you can play with the coils and make it match the best Jap stuff out
there.

BTW: I called TT to see if they would give the source code to the CPU,
as I wanted to reprogram it to add scanning. They would not give it to
me, but said that they are working on a retrofit to existing rigs to
add scanning! This is to me the only feature missing that would make
it a real contender for the Jap stuff.

Have fun!

Hello,

I have got a question about the CTCSS Tone from the Yaesu's FT50R.

According to our local repeater sysop, the CTCSS tone from my
transceiver is way to loud. Due to the fact that it is so loud
the repeater will sometimes not respond with lowering the
squelch level.

So my question is if someone knows how to make the CTCSS tone
less loud.

If you know the answer please give me a reply, no follow up
message because I am not reading the newsgroup that much.

Thanks in advance.


Best regards,

Roger.

Hani ...

    Don't sell your 690. The Icom is a great rig for the price ( I am an
ICOM fan), however, the receiver is not as good as the 690 Kenwood (or
the 738 ICOM). The xmod, rejection, etc are not as good. It is still a
great unit for the money. You get a lot of features in a very small box.
As in everything, there are tradeoffs.

John ...

    Were it not for the ANC-4, I would be out of ham radio. I live in a
condo. I also live near Ft. Deitrich (biological warfare, CIA) and have
LOTS AND LOTS of noise sources. The ANC can only handle one noise souce
at a time. With power line noise and TV birdies, I found a setting where
I could set between the best setting of the two and knock them both down
a fair amount. The fort has recently began transmitting a 5/6 Hz. signal
of over S9. I can filter this out, but then the power line noise and
birdies come through. I guess I'll have to buy another and cascade them!!

     The secret of making these things work is the noise sensing antenna.
This antenna must be oriented and long enough to produce a noise signal
without receiving the wanted signals. This signal is then amplified and
the phase changed 180 degrees and combined with the antenna input,
cancelling out the offending signal. When you phase out the noise, many
times the S9 signals on the band will also be reduced in level, since
they are being heard by your noise antenna. The weaker signals are
untouched. In all the unit is effective, but there ARE limitations as I
mentioned above.

I have a few questions all related to the ICOM R-7000 Receiver.

Can someone tell me how to make the Squelch detection cable
that some software uses for the ICOM R7000 receiver?

I Believe it uses the parallel printer port on the computer and the
remote connector on the radio. Should be simple to make.

Does the same cable work with all software needing a squelch
detection cable that uses the CI-V interface? I see most software
ads usually say the R7000 needs the squelch cable for full support.

Can anyone recommend any software for the R7000? Would like
comments on R7000 software packages including shareware.

A few software packages had their own special interface like
the DELTACOMM by Delta Research and 801SCAN. Does anyone have
any software/cable packages like this forsale?

I have two Regency XL2000 programmable mobile rigs - one is VHF, and the
other is UHF. The VHF is 10 channels, and the UHF is 16 channels. Both
work fine, but haven't been used in months. I now need to get them back
on the air on new freqs., but cannot remember the programming steps. Can
someone out there briefly outline the steps in an E-Mail to get me going?
Or I can be faxed at [phone]. Any help is appreciated.

If anyone is familiar with the programming of the two-channel XL2000
diode matrix, I could use that info also (I have one UHF version of that
rig). TNX es 73.

I have the original mod's conserning the TH-79 from Kenwood here.
There is no info about wideband here.

Could you please give me any information how to set the TH-79(E) to wide
ban receive.

I have the new version of the TH-79, there is a old version (the old
version do not have the lock-out function and when listening to AM lower
than 136.000 Mhz the squelch stays open)

Maybe you have different versions here of the TH-79 and thats why the
act different.

Would you send me the mod's for wide band please ?

Do you know that it's possible to modificate your TH-79 for transponding
?
Receive on one freq. and direct sending to the other band (only possible
for 2m - 70cm or 70cm - 2m and not on the same band sending and
receiving.)

Here's some additional info on the problem.

First, the good news, tuning with the mike buttons works fine.

The problems is definitely related to the rate of pulses generated by the
main dial.  There is a "resonant rate" for the dial and with practice you
can find it.  When you get it moving at the right speed the numbers on the
dial will cease to increment (or decrement) until you move from the
resonant speed.  The 10 Hz digit will be rolling but 100Hz and up will not
change when this rate is being input to the processor.

The problem of tuning non-linearity and digital backlash (that's all I can
think of to call it) is most serious in the 10 Khz menu position and in the
CW mode.  It appears as though the processor cannot keep up with the dial,
and the software starts to jump or locks, depending upon the actual pulse
rate being generated.

One test I've made and repeated several times was to start on a certain
frequency, say 7.010 and rotate the dial at various speeds CW or CCW and
then rotate it back until the digital dial reads 7.010.  Sometimes it will
take 1.5 turns to get you back to where you were when you started turning.
Thus the non-linearity description of this problem.

You can operate this rig for quite a while before you notice the problem.
If you are moving the dial CCW or CW and tune onto a signal without
reversing direction you will probably never see it.  Of course if you
overshoot and try to come back you can get there, but if the band is very
crowded the non-linearity will fool you (which is how I discovered the
problem during a contest).

Looking at the schematic, I notice a 27C512 (good sign) so perhaps there is
a firmware update.  Tomorrow I'll call Kenwood and see what I can come up
with.  I'll post news of the conversation here.

Many years after I first raised wire antennas over my parents' house,
heavy objects occassionally fall to the ground in the backyard.   I
used to improvise with small diameter rope and suitably sized rocks.

This is hearsay, but I was always told that this is O.K. because the
battery acts as a big sink, or filter for any a.c. current that might
come from the charger.

Anyone notice on the UHF band, there seems to
be a ringing like sound on strong signals,
sounds a lot like when a VCO is about to
unlock, in fact it sounds almost the same
as when the battery voltage gets around 4 volts.
It is really noticble when a xmtr keys and
un keys.... I've only noticed this mainly
around the 440-465 mhz area....
Any thoughts.... Duane Park

Does anyone know anything about how t
 enable the tone burst for european repeaters on he ft-530.

I know there is a mod, but I don't know if you loose any capability when
you do the mod.

If you can tell me anything about the mod please do.


Please note that I am not interested in the expanded tx/rx mods, just the
tone burst mod and anything else out there..

Thanks!

I have for sale a HYGAIN DX-88 all band vertical antenna.  Also comes
with a hinged (tilt over) ground mounted mast.  This mast is about 4
feet long and when in the ground, only about 1 foot is extended above
the ground which is hinged.  Price $ 200.00 firm.  The antenna is
tuned and is sitting in a garage.  The antenna was bought used for
$325.00 plus $ 40.00 for the base.  The person had it up for 2 months
and then past away.

What, in your definition, is a "life"?  The way I see it, if this person wants

to buy a radio and remove resistors from it, that's his choice. In what way
does this not constitute "living"?  And he is, in the very least, entitled
to post his findings to the rest of us. It is our choice to read it...don't
you have anything better to do?

Is this the view you take towards anyone how does anything beyond activities
associated with basic survival?  Do you spend any time in your important
"life" doing anything enjoyable, relaxing, fun, or just for the heck of it?

Then we start throwing around the warranty thing. Maybe, just, maybe, he
doesn't care if he voids the warranty!!! SO WHAT? Have you ever pissed away
$300 just for fun? Try it!

Oh, and let's not leave out the part where we all put on our FCC hats and talk

very seriously about transmitting out of band and type acceptance. It is truly

remarkable to find the number lawyers reading this newsgroup! I suppose that
if I were to report that my car, after installation of some new parts, were
capable of going 120 MPH, that we would all have to be reminded that the speed

limit is 65 and that I have modified the emission control equipment. Do you
stop everyone on the road who has a car capable of speeding and tell them what

the speed limit is? We have a society full of people with cars that can be
used to break the law, and things seem to run pretty smoothly. But one person
with a radio capable of transimitting outside the amateur radio bands can't
be trusted...

Dear all,

I'm interested if any readers of the British magazine "Shortwave
Magazine" have had any experience with, seen, bought, know, anything
about this new communications reciever released by the British firm AKD
??? I read the review in the last months edition and its sounds an
incredible piece of gear for only 150 GBP !!! I'm interested to know
about any contacts with it. It certainly got me interested in getting
rid of my far eastern cheapo fro a good bit of British hardware.

Thanks all.

What's a satellite dish tuning meter worth? I have a chance on getting
a small meter used to aim and adjust a satellite dish. Looks like
a small radar detector. Not sure of the brand name but want a ball park
price.

I was thinking about getting one of these antennas for my Yaesu FT-50R, with
the goal being portability without substantial loss in quality.  Does anyone
have experience with this antenna that they could share with me?  If it
performs at least as good as the "factory rubber duck", I will be happy.

Thanks!
Richard

Hi John, the 142071 can be replaced by any 1 amp 600 volt diode. You
can buy 1N4005 diodes from Radio Shack, part # 276-1104 or buy them
from Mouser Electronics  mail order. 800-346-6873 or their web access
http://www.mouser.com  You should get their free catalog. They can sell
you 8 - 1N4005 diodes for what Radio Shack would charge for one. No min
order and very reasonable shipping cost policy. Personally, I would
replace all the diodes in the power supply and I would upgrade to a
higher voltage ratings such as 800 or 1000 volts or 1N4006 or 1N4007.
Mouser adds 583 to the diodes # such as 583-1N4005/6/7. If you call,
tell the person the parts of interest is on page 11 of catalog #588

I have built TenTec's Six Meter and now the 220 Mhz radio. The 220 Mhz radio
has a scan feature that is very nice. I enjoyed building both radios, and woul
d
hightly recomend them.

The manuals are well done, Although I did find some errors in the 220 Kit's
manual (E-mail me if you would like a list) and the units work very well. It i
s
a great way to get onto 6 Meters and 220 Mhz. The big plus to me is that if fo
r
some reason you have a problem with the radio down the line you know that it i
s
servicable.

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased an Icom 706 and I'm interested in doing some portable HF
operations. I wanted to get some tips.

I'm looking for power sources. I was thinking of using several gell cells
to get a 20 to 30 amp hour rating. Does anyone know any good sources for
gell cells? Are sealed motorcycle lead acid batteries OK?

What about antennas and tuners? I would prefer to use just a random wire
antenna. I was looking at the SGC SG-230 auto tuner, but I might even go
for a small Vectronics tuner that can handle long wire. Is the longer the
antenna better or should I cut the wire the to be 1/4 wave of the band
which I plan to operate on?

Any pointers would be appreciated. Any references to articles in QST, CQ,
or 73 in the past year would also be great.

Thanks,
Kory

  But of course.  Didn't you ever watch the TV show "Combat" (or re-runs).
One of their WWII portable radios was in a field pack, but another type
literally WAS a tube type hand held... a LARGE handheld, but a handheld
radio nonetheless.

  But for FREE?????  Well, I did get a handheld radio "almost" for free.
It was a handheld receiver only (scanner) that covered the 2 meter band
(and the 160 MHz range public service band) for only $5... AND, it even
came with some crystals for the four channels.  Unfortunately, none of them
were ham frequencies.

ISTR it was a boating accident about 20 years ago.  I think it was a
fuel vapour explosion.

I think Kitty's done a remarkably good job in keeping the doors open
with the adversity of New York expenses and the unfair competition
from bootleg (sales/use tax evaded) mail order.  I salute her efforts.

Wasn't the 11 meter band originally set aside for the same purpose years ago?
Given the original cost of CB radios and the direction that band went after
the licensing requirement was removed, I will be curious to see how successful
the new "family" band is.

I've had one since May, and used it almost exclusively mobile
until recently.  As a mobile rig, I like it, I really enjoyed
getting back on six meters with it and it works for working my
local buds on two meter fm with out having another box floating
around in the car.

Lately I've used it on HF with a very poor antenna, a downspout
and raingutter totaling about 50 feet, in fact, fed as a random
wire with an ICOM AH-2 tuner.  Even with this poor radiator, some
of the shortcomings of the rig come into play.  Selectivity is
not great.  I work almost all cw and even with the 250 hz filter,
there are problems.  Of course I was used to rigs with cascaded
sharp filters, and a single filter at 9MHz isn't going to be as
good as a good filter at a high if and a better one at a low if.

You can have only one extra filter in the radio at a time.
So if you want sharper ssb selectivity and sharp cw
selectivity too, it can't be done conveniently.

There is a lot of filter blowby, that is, a lot of high pitched
squeals that get around the filtering.  As the signals get
stronger, this gets worse.  An audio filter or DSP maybe would
help with hearing the high tones, but the real problem is the
signals being in the AGC loop, causing audio intermodulation.

The full break-in keying is b-a-a-a-a-d.  To quote someone else
from a posting, ICOM must have had to work really hard to make it
this bad.  Clips characters.  Semi-break-in is not so bad, as
only the first element of a character is clipped, as long as the
VOX holds in.  The radio has a "ratio" control for shaping cw
elements, but it doesn't seem to make much difference on mine.  I
don't know if the ratio control is supposed to be a weight
control, but if it is, it doesn't work.

Without modification, much of the extended receive capability is
useless.  There are various mods floating around and it can be
improved, but it will never be 1} a FM BC receiver or 2} a
replacement for a VHF scanner.

Noise blanker is not very good.  It can be internally adjusted to
provide a bit better blanking at the expense of poorer cross
modulation performance, an area in which the 706 doesn't excel
anyway.

There are all kinds of mods to expand and improve (?) reception
and transmission all over the ranges the radio covers.  I think
expanding transmit from the low end to 54 MHz is fairly simple,
although I have not tried it.  I have heard of capacitors failing
in the output filtering when this is done, too.  The
documentation of some of these mods is spotty at best.

Bottom line: would I get rid of mine?  NO NO NO.  There is no
other rig like it, and within its niche, nothing else can touch
it.  It is not a DXers or contesters rig though, except perhaps
for very casual operation.

Could someone with an Icom W32A please post the extended recieve range
of the radio. Also, have you tried it on wide FM and aircraft AM? Did
it have good sensitivity?

Tell them like it is...

Remind them that: those military radios were ment for the military,
not for use on the ham bands...

Commercial rigs were meant for the commercial freqs, not the local freqs.

And the list goes on...an on....

It doesn't matter why a person wants to do it <???> Its their thing...
And if the manufactures' didn't want you to do it; you wouldn't be able
to... REMEMBER the HTX-202...

You don't think that is a accident, that these rigs can do what they
can...? They are built for these purposes, by the manufacture...

You don't want the rigs to do this: get on the manufactures...

Wake up folks...

Hello John,I own a KW TS-50,and I am vy happy of this;days ago ,I was
talking with a guy that own both TS-50 and IC-706 and,when I asked him
wich one is better,he told me that both are good,but the IC-706 seems to
be much more subject to intermodulations (especially on 40) than KW
TS-50...
That's all...(but the TS-50 dosn't have keyer,50 and 144 MHz...)

Could you explain what this software is used for, thanks!
Sounds like something I have been interested in.

That's about the only way to be sure. Get one, hook it up in your
station and see if it cancels the type of noise you have. If it does,
great. If not, send it back and JPS will refund your money.

The ANC-4 works very well, provided the following is true:

1. You're dealing with man-made (not atmospheric) noise.
2. You're dealing with one predominant noise source.
3. You can orient the included noise pickup antenna to properly
receive the noise that's bothering you.

For more info, have a look at the ANC-4 FAQ on the web page at
http://www.jps.com

Heh heh heh, make sure you stand within spitting distance of the repeater. It
does not perform anywhere near as good as the factory antenna....on 2 or 440.

Hello, I just got my new TS-850 back from warranty repair. It had
excessive phase noise from the PLO which was fixed by resoldering some

Has anyone ever had the problem with their 530 of it going dead on a good
battery pack (several) but work fine with the DC power plug???

I can have it in the car, turn it off, disconnect it, put fresh charged
battery on and its dead.  Put it back in the car on DC and it works fine.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I purchased this radio new in 1994.  I bought it for myself for
Christmas mostly because I kept reading about in several advertisement
and it sounded like a lot of fun.  Regretfully I was never able to
take advantage of this dream hobby.  The radio is in excellent and new
condition with very little use.  Basically I opened the box played
with the channels settings for about an hour then put it away in it's
original packaging.  It has been in storage in my closet every since.
It's very tempting to take up the hobby again, but frankly, I still
don't have the time, plus I need the money to go toward an engagement
ring for my fiancΦ to-be.

This premium unit has more features, "bells and whistles", than I can
list.  It even includes a world time scale", LCD contrast control, a
key protection mode, dial lock, etc.  The list goes on and on.  It
comes with accessories including: the 170 page manual, SONY 6V
(AC-E604) AC Power Adapter, SONY (AN-71) Compact Antenna (attached
hanger clip antenna reel-in carrying case), Stereo Earphones, and
Carrying Strap. I will also include these un-used books:

World Radio TV Handbook, 1994 Edition, by WRTH.
        600p  Published Price $ 19.95.
1994 Passport to World Band Radio, 10th Anniversary Edition.

 $500.00 + SHIPPING .... FIRM ....

If you are interested, please contact me at [e-mail].  If you
would rather speak to me on the phone, I can arrange that after
receiving your e-mail.  If you are in the area of EUGENE, OREGON, feel
free to ask to visit and see the unit.

Mike, a full wave is the "official" length, but just the usual rule of "as
much wire as you have room for" is my principle.  I have 350 feet in a
pretty irregular, roughly triangular shape, ranging from 30-45 feet high
depending on the trees, and fed with open wire.  Open wire and a balanced
tuner is the best bet for multiband use.  This beats a G5RV or similar
"dipole" for general use, for sure.  Solid 80 meter QSO's with 5 watts;
good QRP ragchew signals on 40 and 20.  On 160, I can't really match it
with my tuner (shorter than full wave) unless I tie both feeders together
andfeed it as a random wire -- then I get excellent close-in results with
150 watts, and have had a few QRP QSOs also.

RG58 is pretty lossy to use for a multiband tuned setup where a 50-ohm
match is highly unlikely.  No wonder he's getting only OK performance.

Mind you, this will not be a well-focussed DX antenna, but for general
operating it will be quite stunning.

I've inherited a SB-104 whose output is 100 W on 80-40-20 m, decreases to
75 W on 15 m and 40 W on 10 m. The ferrit transformers get hot on 10 m
and the 2 W-resistor across the hybrid coupler tends to disappear into
smoke. RF drive is unequal on the bases of one transistor pair. Does
anybody know if this is a common problem with this rig and if it can be
cured by just replacing one of the PA-transistors? Please mail to me.

I have a portable Antenna Analyzer for sale.
It is a portable unit run from NiCad batteries with charger. It uses a
LCD 4 digit frequency counter, an analogue SWR / %reflected power
scales read direct. No radio Tansmitter needed. It sees exactly what
the radio sees.
Only R2200-00. Still under guarantee. Used only once.
Ideal for the antenna experimenter.

THE RADIO IS GREAT, EXCEPT FOR ONE PROBLEM.  MY LOCAL POLICE FREQ
IS 460.300 AND IT GET'S KNOCKED OUT BY INTERMOD FROM 460.150.

I HAVE A KENWOOD TH79A AND IT IS UNAFFECTED BY THE SAME FREQS.

IS THEIR ANY PROGRAMMING OR ADJUST THAT CAN BE DONE TO MY FT-50?

I HAD YAESU LOWER THE UHF SENSITIVITY TO 2.5 UV. BUT THAT AFFECTED THE
440-450 RECEIVE ALSO.  IS THEIR A WAY TO LOWER ONLY THE OUT OF BAND
(450-465)MHZ HELICALS OR SOMETHING IN THE PROGRAMMING, IE ALIGNMENT
ADJUSTMENTS?

THANKS

        I purtchased a IC-3230H from him via Fed Express.  The radio
had no RF output on UHF.  When I opened the case to see if anything
was possibly disconnected...a capacitor fell out of the case and I
could smell the odor of burnt transistor smoke.
        Of course he dinies any of this and upon confronting him via
email he said this and I quote,
>>Let me know what it costs for the repair
>>and we'll see if we can work something out.  Again I'm sorry this happened.
>>
>>73 de
>>Pete
>>kc4wwu

        BTW here is what he said originally:

>I have for sale an ICOM 3230H dualband
>>It is in Great Condition
>>Comes with all original accessories
>>Also comes with Speech Unit &
>>DTMF / PL Decode Unit
>>
>>Asking $350.00 plus shipping obo


        Anyway...he can now say what he wants in response to this but
the facts are that the radio was not operating properly and I had to
spend several hundred dollars for ICOM to repair it.
        The money is spent and I now have a great radio....so I have
the last laugh.


        BTW I have since found out some interesting things about Peter
Dulac from previous friends of his.  If there was ever any doubt about
him before ... I now have no doubt that he is not to be trusted!!!

        DO NOT BUY ANTHING FROM HIM UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND MONEY TO
FIX IT.

I used an SGC-230 / IC-706 combination this summer while racing my sailboat
"Magic Carpet" from San Francisco to Hawaii and liked the tuner a lot.  The
SGC was connected to a 23-foot whip mounted on the sailboat's transom; I
worked mostly 40 and 20 meters although the darn thing would load up on 160
thru 10 quite nicely - radiated energy being another question entirely in
some cases.

I did have an excellent ground, having seawater all around.  The tuner worked
pretty much as advertised in this application and I really appreciated its
robust construction in the marine environment.  SWR presented to the 706 was
usually less than 2:1.  I also liked the "intelligence" of the tuner -- no
need to do anything for it but let it sniff the RF and decide for itself what
to do; and once it had decided, it didn't change its mind very often -- which
I counted as a Good Thing.  When returning to a frequency previously used the
tuner was very adept at reproducing its previous settings extremely quickly
and seldom if ever re-tuned unless forced by me to do so.

I have tape recordings of my signals given to me by good friends here in
Portland, OR who provided the other end of our contacts during the 12 days it
took us to sail from SF to Kaneohe Bay. With this equipment combination we
were able to run excellent phone patches on 20 meters, and often yakked away
for a good long time with the 706 cranked back to around 5 watts input power.

Certainly the combination was no substitute for a big Yagi up 80 feet or so
but it did a great job in the circumstances.

Before leaving for Hawaii we opened the SGC-230 up to have a look.  Inside you

will find lots of relay-switched inductors - mostly or all toroids as I
remember - and capacitors, and a little digital circuitry.  No roller
inductors or motor-tuned capacitors; it works by algorithmically determining
the correct L/C combinations to use correctly match the load presented by the
antenna at the frequency to be used so that the SWR presented to the
transmitter is about 3:1 or less, if I remember correctly, and switching 'em
in.  In most cases it tunes up "cold" (never used the antenna/frequency
combination previously) in a second or two.  It is nicely built, with
stainless-steel hardware and O-ring seals holding the two plastic clamshell
case halves together and (I think) gold-plated circuit board traces.

The only changes I plan to make to my on-board radio system are to substitute
an insulated backstay for the transom-mounted whip antenna and improve the
grounding system - salt water is hard on copper foil.  Certainly I will keep
the SGC-230 aboard; all in all I thought it a much better choice than the
options Icom offered for the 706.  I can provide more information if you wish.
Regards,

Mark

information for a broadcast band (500-1700khz) loop antenna and am
hoping someone out there may be in a position to e- mail me some plans
or direct me to a web resource that has this information available.

  I am just beginning this aspect of the hobby and would be appreciative
of any help anyone can offer.

It is the FL-32A and many Amateur dealers should have it in stock.

The National Radio Club has many publications describing MW antennas of all
sorts.  Try the just-revised "Antenna Reference Manual" (volumes 1 and 2), and

"Loop Antenna Design and Theory".

Replace ALL the caps in the 20v supply circuit especially the .47uf
electrolytics. Make sure you use the correct transistors, not ecg's.
Should run fine. Also check the zener in the -6 supply.

Rik,

Work on improving your antenna instead of increasing the power output. A
3db (double, 200 watts)increase in power is just noticeable at the
recieving end. I chuckle when I hear of people turning up these rigs to
135 or 150 watts. The improvement is all in their heads. Try this  next
couple of qso's, reduce the power from 100 to 50 watts and see how
nobody can tell the difference. Plus cranking up the power on these
solid state rigs will not only shorten the life of the finals but likely
greatly increase IMD that will make problems on the band for everyone.

I doubt that keeping the tuner in line would do much for receive unless
you have a very strong broadcaster near by. The improvements in both
reception and transmiting by improving feedline, connectors, and antenna
are the way to go.

My opinion,

73's Bob

        I am getting ready to sell my Henry 3K amplifier.  This is a
specially built commercial/industrial model that has ALL the features
offered in the various 3K models.

        This amplifier has the heavy duty power supply that runs 4200
volts.  It is in a floor console with the RF deck mounted on the top
of the console.  RF deck has the 3CX1200D7-----NOTE   D7  tube--
and operates on all bands 160-10 meters.  Henry offers the amplifier
in versions with smaller power supply, with the A7 tube that has lower
grid dissapation,and without 160 meters.  This amp has ALL the good
stuff, big power supply, big tube, and 160 meters. New price for this
amp is almost $4000, I will sell for $2995.  It is in excellent
condition and is complete with manual.

Hi Kory, I have the 706 and it's a power hog. I use 2 deep-discharge
marine batteries (one can charge while the other is in use). The
SGC-230 soaks up about an amp. A manual tuner would conserve power.

business.  The company is up for sale, but no takers out there.

  Translated: support for the $1,000 DSP-2232 remains unchanged.

Hi all,

Where can I find reviews of HF transceivers from the past five to ten
years?  Is there an index available somewhere or a Web page with links?
Anything in print or on the web will do.

Also, would like opinions from anyone on a new or used HF transceiver to
purchase.  Need 2m and 6m modules, 10-80m at a minimum built-in, general
coverage receive, digital display, something very basic, fairly new, and
cheap; it'll be my first HF rig and I'm not much of a techie for boat
anchors. Mobile use not necessary.

Please e-mail with any response to this message. Thanx.

HRO in Woodbridge had 6 (or more) on Saturday be carefull the out of box
version does not work on fast machines with the FTt8000 and the merge
function does not work. RTS said Yaesu released it without evidently
testing it. The author is aware of this and will ship (email) a working

Wayne.  Try the Collins nets on 14.263 Sundays at 20:00 UTC or many
nights on weekdays there are informal Collins nets on 3.805 or sometimes
3.875. The Sunday 20 meter net is especially good. Good luck with the S-
line. I have a KWM-2A. ---- Steve N9ROU

I'd be VERY careful about using a Charger hooked to a battery WHILE using
a Rig. IF you're going to do it, switch it out of the circuit while in
use or disconnect it.

I have a friend, who smoked a rig TWICE using a charger set up as spoken
of above. THe spikes are what did it. They put out over 14.0 volts D.C.
and in some cases, exceed the operating voltage of the components.
Ask yourself if the repair cost is worth it before connecting. His cost
him about $400.00 total. He now switches it OUT of the circuit and has
had NO problems since.

My Opinion.........

  Does anyone have the plans to convert a Motorola Pulsar II UHF carphone
into a repeater?  I also need to buy a Pulsar or two if anyone has any for
sale in the $25 to $75 range.  The unit I had died and the unit was
already converted when I got it.

I have a KW-940s/at (sn 8 million + ) that I would like to either sell
for 1300.00 or trade for a ic-706 with a tuner.

The 940 has the follwing :
                           CW filter
                           AM filter
                           IF-10b
                           Kenwood Hand Mike
                           Giel Tuning mod
                           Memory Bank option
                           Kenwood Service Manual

Everything works great. Also for sale or trade with the radio or after
the radio is gone is the:
       Kenwood SM-220 Station Monitor with Pan adapter,
       SP940 Matching Speaker,
       IF-232C Interface,
       SM-2000 SWR/Power Meter,
       MC-60 Desk Mike,
       Mosley CL-33 Tri_bander (on the ground. Could go sooner)

This all could go as a packge deal also. What I would like to do is
trade this setup for a mobile HF ( IC-706,tuner,antenna,power supply )
setup. Due to my daily commute, I spend more time in the car than at
home on the air.
I'd sell the whole station for 1700.00, negiotable

Around the New York tri-state area preferred, due to I really wouldn't
want to have to ship this stuff around, although I think I still have
all the original boxes.

please reply to [e-mail].

thanks,
         Rich  N2LLW

My TS-440S seems to have recently developed a little bit of a chirp on
CW. It seems to be worse when the SWR is a bit high (1.7:1) but is still
noticeable when I use the antenna tuner or tune into a 50-ohm dummy load.

The problem seems to have just started sometime last week..

Has anyone experienced this problem before? Maybe a capacitor going bad
somewhere? Is there an easy fix for this?

Summary: Questions on Rotator Controllers
Keywords: rotator contoller satellite

Hi Folks,
        I posted a note a few days back, but I never saw it show up
here, so I'll post again.
        We're setting up a satellite ground station for our University
Ham Club, and I'm in the process of selecting a "rotator controller"
to drive our AZ/EL rotator.

Here's the equipment we'll be working with:

Yaesu 736R (Will I want to get the serial add-on?)
Yaesu G5400B rotator
Sat Track V3.1 running on Linux
"Some satellite controller"

Basically, I need something that I can command myself, via a program I
can write to talk to the serial port.  Would it be better to have the
computer control the radio, or the tracker?  I'd prefer to just deal
with one serial port, however. Sat Track is pretty easy to modify as far as
commanding, and it allows for talking to the rotator controller and radio
on separate ports.

Anyway, I'm looking at the following:

AEA ST-1 Sat Tracker
SASI Sat Tracker/Tuner
Sat Track IV (This seems to be the best so far)
Kansas City Tracker

I'd like to hear what experiences people have had using any of these units.

I have seen Ski Patrol personnel use a nylon harness rig that holds
their radios up on their chest, just below the chin.  The radio is
held in place by velcro strips.   The harness of course goes over the
sholders and crosses in the back so everything is secure.   When they
want to talk they lower their mouth down and speak.  The radio is
close enough so they can hear.  Of course they have to use their hand
to press the PTT button.    I would try to keep the radio somewhere on
you because of the vibration and jolting the radio would receive from
the frame of the bike.  YOu are a better vibration dampener that the
bike.

I do not like the little bug speaker/mic that fits into your ear.  I
have use some and it always seems it falls out or the wire going up to
it gets caught in clothing and is pulled out, or you move your head
and once again it is dislodged.  If there is a headset/boom mic
arrangement, I think it would be better.


I am lead to believe that you need an external antenna on your bike
and the rubber duck would not reach out the way you wanted.  I have
mounted a 1/4 mag mount on the bike rack that fits over the rear
wheel.  Coil up the excess coaxial cable and route the rest to the
radio.  Bad feature about this is, if you have the HT on you, then you
are attached to the bike via the coaxial cable, and you must
connect-disconnect the cable everytime you get on or off.  The good
feature is that your radio is not taking a beating from the vibrations
of the bike.  I know a 1/4 does not work on both freq. but it doesn't
need a ground plane either.  I have just operated on 2Meters only when
I was doing it so I haven't explored dual band antennas that do not
need ground planes.

Hope this gives you food for thought.

No opinion, never used one.  When I used to do that, I used a
speaker-mic.
But I was much younger and dumber then ;)

Advantage to wearing it: lower shock.  Disadvantage: you are attached
to the antenna on bike.  I prefer to put the radio in a front pack and
secure it with judicious use of bungie cords.  I used to use an old
IC-2AT when I did this, however.  Your radio may have more densely
packed
controls on it.

A front pack with a good bungie cord suspension isn't quite as shock
proof as you are, but it ain't bad either.

Another advantage to the front pack: you can add a bigger battery
there and run higher power --even a power amp if you're really crazy.

Good arrangement.  I used something very similar and it worked.

> recommend a particular antenna/mount combination?

I suggest securing the antenna to the side of the rack mount strut which
goes down to the rear wheel.  You'll want to make sure your rack is
good and sturdy, of course.  You might get a better installation if you
secure a piece of steel along the side with screws and a clamp or two.
Then you can drill the steel and use a marine antenna mount.

>
>      Anything else I should keep in mind?

Yeah, make sure you can still mount the bike.  With an antenna mounted
as I have suggested, you won't be able to comfortably swing your leg
over the back to mount your back.  One way to get around this problem,
if you use the marine antenna mount, is to swivel the antenna down
before mounting the bike.  You can then swivel the antenna up after
you mount the bike (a bit of string or fishing line attached to the
antenna might help here).

Another issue:  Your bike is not a good groundplane.  You should try
to get an antenna which doesn't need much of a groundplane -- i.e. not
a 1/4 wave or 5/8 wave.  Get something like a half wave vertical.
Also make sure the thing is relatively flexible (to smash in to
branches and the like)

You said you were open to opinions on this.

Try this--

Put your charger/battery with a load similar to what your rig draws when
recieving, take a look at the output on your O-scope. Then place a larger
load similar to the draw of you rig in transmit(car headlight?) Then take
another look at it. Compare the same to a good power supply(I mean good like
Astron).
You could also build a filter.
If you plan to use the rig with the power out and the charging system hooked
up, you'll probably need to hook in some heavy diodes between the charger and
the battery.
Also possible is a relay to drop the charger out of the circuit when the AC
power goes out.
Also check the voltage with the rig off and the charger and batt hooked up
for a while. It doesn't take too long to boil the acid out of the battery.
A better choice for batteries would be a deep cycle marine battery.

A better suggestion is to build your own real power supply--a great Ham
project. I'm almost positive that the ARRL handbood has plans. You can find
parts at most any hamfest. Make sure you build a crowbar circuit to protect
your radio if the supply goes wacko! You can even add in your battery for
backup power.

If all else fails, pull out the old wallet. You could easily spend more on
your batt/charger setup than buying a new PS.

The RCI2900 models manufactured after 12/31/1991 have a protection circuit
in the processor to force this "frequency warble" problem when operated in
the 26 to 28 mhz range.  Once operated in that frequency range, the
processor software instruction set is permanently modified and soon the
radio will be totally useless.  Each time you operate in that frequency
range, the modification of the processor instruction set becomes more and
more distorted.  There is only one known modification to correct it.  You
can receive special instructions from the www.fcc.gov web site.  Go to the
home page and do a search for your desired frequency range or send an email
message to them requesting the instructions for operating in the range you
wish.  Their reaction time is quite fast.

Good luck!

Sounds like you removed the wrong diode because the mod is valid.

I need to replace the panel lights in my IC-229H.

I ordered the bulbs
from ICOM and now have them. I took the covers off the unit and it
appears the front panel cover needs to be removed. I pulled the knobs
off and now it seems that I must take the nut off the frequency
contol and the mike connector.

I think I need a special tool to remove the nut from the mike
connector because the nut is recessed into the hole and there are some
indentations in the round nut. Does anyone know where to get this
tools? I could use some nails and pliers, but this is likely to slip
and scratch up the faceplate.

>> Searching for info on how to interface Icom 735 with computer...

I have finally got the remote control working on the IC735. The
interface is home-made and uses just 2 transistors, 1 diode, 5 resistors,
DB25 and a DB15(to get 5v from games port). The software is a major re-hash
of VK7TM's FT757 effort in ARA. All functions are driven from the XT
keyboard and the software allows scanning of a LARGE number of frequencies
on the same or on different bands.

The trials and tribulations of all this effort were NOT assisted in any
way by the manufacturer's local office in Melbourne.  A call for
information was not very successful.  (try it and see!)

If you are contemplating the idea of turning your IC735 into a multi-
channel HF scanner, I may be contacted @ VK3YZW BBS..

   The software is suitable for use with XT/AT Clone...

   Available control functions:
   Send a new frequency to the radio from the keyboard.
   Send a new Mode to the radio.
   Select VFO  A  or  VFO  B.
   Select a different memory channel
   Enable the selected memory channel
   Write current Freq/Mode to selected memory channel.
   Write current  Freq/Mode to last used VFO.
   Read/Edit/Use a frequency file from Disk.
   SCAN frequencies in a frequency file.

The frequency files contain frequency/mode/description of station all of
which is displayed on the screen when the file is active.

Hi, Netters:

   I recentely bought a multimedia PC and I am curious about
the floowing question.

     usually shortwave broadcasting are very noisy, especially
listening to far or weak station.  Are there any hardware or software
that take the output from shortwave radio (through audio output) and
perform "noise filtering" and "signal enhancing" process on PC and
send to PC's speaker?  in that way, the audio quality can be improved without
improving antena system.  Any pointer is appreciated.

This is not strictly an amateur radio question, but I didn't know where
else to look.  I need some technical data on how 800 MHz trunked radio
systems work.  So far, I've only found one such file on the 'net.  Any
info you could e-mail to me would be very useful.

These are 25KV diodes and I did a test run of 1.2Amps for 4 hours.
Perfect for that big amp.  $10 each or build a bridge at 4 for $35 + $3
postage.

The AP50 is a truly neat radio. It does not know from intermod and/or adjacent
 channel. It
has great TX/RX audio. It has only one REALLY STUPID design feature. It's CTCS
S feature is
programmable only for the entire radio (e.g. one tone for all memories/vfo's)
and it
has only 2 operational modes, off or encode/decode. Now while I happen to thin
k that
all repeaters should encode as wells as decode PL (and all that I build do), t
he fact is that
most do not. If you can live with that limitation, it is a wonderful radio. Su
pposedly, the CP50
version fixes this problem, but I have not seen one of those yet.

Mike,

They STILL do that?  I complained to Yaesu about that problem on my
FT-727R (handheld dual bander, not, as people think, a really cheap 757
or 747).  Hit the VOX or power button on top and -poof- someone gets a
chrome button in the eye.  I hate to say it, but I finally broke down and
 hit the Crazy-Glue.

The new band is the FRS or Family Radio Service band which lies on the
GMRS interstitial frequencies between 462.55 and 462.75 and the
repeater inputs 5 MHz higher. 14 channels in all but the new RS radio
FRS-105 uses only the top 7 (467 MHz) interstitals. IMHO, a real pain
for GMRS users.

Does anyone know of a headset available that can be used inside a helmet? I
use my radio when flying a hang glider and need one that has a small
speaker that can be placed inside the padding by the ear and has a small
mic that can be placed inside the padding in the face protector. Also need
a finger PTT. Must be compatible with Yaesu FT11r.

Thanks in advance....

I replaced the lights in my 229H.

You do need to take the rings off...  I used a needle-nosed plyers, with
a 3" nose on it.  Put the ends into the holes, turn the ring sideways.

Dave,
I bought a "helmet" ear piece with clip on mic. I use it while riding my
quad. I have only seen this item at HRO in Burbank, CA. It is avail in
two different config's, ICOM or Kenwood compatible end plugs. I ended up
modifing mine for use with my mobil I mounted on the quad, but comes with
either end plugs for the HT. It also comes with a remote PTT switch.

Hi all.

     Drove in the rain down to Yaesu to ask a question, and buy a CLP-10
clip for my FT-50 today. The question was will the VX-10's external DC
socket cover fit on the '50.
The clip went for $7.00. Fit exactly as the stock smaller clip.

As I looked at the radios I was sure that they would. But.. the counter
guy said no without even going in the back room. The back room where the
radios are kept. Alas.

The VX cover fits flush and is made of the same ABS plastic as the case.
I never use the DC port so why have that lame rubber flap that keeps
coming open? Anyone with a busted VX want to give it a try?

Also I looked at the VX-10 flyer. The display's not like the 50's at
all. Give up the expanded display idea all together. Not a chance.

I have a portable Antenna Analyzer for sale.
It is a portable unit run from NiCad batteries with charger. It uses a LCD 4
digit frequency counter, an analogue SWR / %reflected power scales read direct
.
No radio Tansmitter needed. It sees exactly what the radio sees.
Only R2200-00. Still under guarantee. Used only once.
Ideal for the antenna experimenter.

IMHO: I dont know much about GMRS but seems to me its a prety good idea
to put a service in the 470 MHZ range if you must have one somewhere
because normally propagation is line of site also much more diffucult
to tweak,peak,amplify,use a power mic and so on. The origanal 11 meter
band was turned loose (around late 1950?) when UHF gear was expensive to
buy or build. If they could have put CB service in UHF region then, You
might not have the problem you have today on 11.

Thanks Gary.  I've looked for the mod on most of the common ftp mod

the mod before we shell out $$ for this unit.  Hoping not to have to

        I noticed the IC-R8500 gen. coverage recvr blocks cell phones
        yet the HT's seem to cover this area... Seems like a rip. when
        $2000 wont do it but the $350 HT will ! Is this a new law ?
        Can the R8500 be modified ?

>>How did the hobby Ham Radio get the term "Ham" Radio"?

Simple.

Before I got into the hobby, HAM stood for:

Have A lot of Money
-....-........-....

Now that I've been drawn into this marvelous hobby, it stands for:

Had A lot of Money
-...-........-....

<grin>

The truth is, we are not exactly sure of the origination of the term,
"ham." In texts that I edit, I prefer "Amateur Radio Operator."

You could use it to make difficult signals easier to copy, remove

Not likely...avaiation uses AM (amplitude modulation), which is fairly
non-standard among transcievers.  It is possible to purchase a radio with
an AM decoder, but this means receive only.

It's certainly possible to find an HT that covers the rest of the VHF
range you describe, FM (frequency modulation).  The Icom IC-H16 is an
oldie but a goodie, and most of the land mobile portables and mobiles
(Motorola, Bendix, Kenwood, etc) can be programmed (legally) for anything
in the band that you're licensed on (144-174 is typical).

I have heard that it was a term to refer to a "not-so-good" CW op in the
old days.  Poor straight key operation sounded like you were pounding on
the key with a large ham (bone in HI HI).

Seems pretty much like a scam to me. $5 "photo processing fee" per entry.  I
have a better deal...don't waste your time getting your pet to pose, waste
film or throw money away....just throw money away.  I'll give you nothing for
only $4.99!

The GMRS users were afraid of several things when this service was
being considered; interference with repeaters, loss of interstitials to
"Channel 19" style garbage, and illegal high power users. The FCC bowed
to pressure from Tandy but did restrict several things to help
alleviate these concerns. Power is limited to 1/2 watt, antennas cannot
be removed (making linears very hard to integrate), emission bw is
limited to about 2.5 kHz. As a GMRS user, I like the interstitial
channels as much as the assigned primary channels. These channels
guarantee interoperability between two different GMRS licensees as they
may only operate on one or two primary channels (of 8). I would like to
believe Tandy is using only the top (467 MHz) interstitials, which are
NOT part of GMRS, to reduce interference to existing GMRS users. Hope
these units don't trigger the repeaters though.

Two more issues; FRS can use CTCSS (as can GMRS) and FRS can be used by
businesses (GMRS cannot any longer). Would hate to live near a Wal-Mart
sized store using cheap FRS handhleds for all of its associates! Good
bye interstitials...

At the top right of page 30 of the FT-50R manual it says, "You can assign
a name of up to 4 characters to memories, and have it displayed with both
name and frequency."  Is this correct?  I can get the FT-50R to display
either the NAME or the frequency, but not both at the same time.  The
left side of the display shows the NAME or the frequency, and the right
side shows "CH-n".  I would like to be able to display both at the same
time if this is possible.  Any ideas?

Please reply via my email address: [e-mail]

I wonder how you would feel if you were a licensed operator in a
band...and then was told that unlicensed morons would now be SHARING
that same band with you - within 1/2 channel of your existing repeater
inputs.

This is the first time in history that the FCC has done exactly that -
forced co-sharing of a band between the licensed and the unlicensed. And
there are NO PROVISIONS to deal with interference problems.

Regarding placement of the HT, Cannondale and many others have a pack that
rests between the handlebars.  Not only is this the best place for the
radio to be for convenience, the handlebars protect the HT in case of a
crash.  If you use drop bars you will need to remove the second set of
brake levers that parallel the handlebar as it goes into the stem.  Those
second set of brakes are not very useful anyway providing only about 30% of
the leverage that the primary brake levers provide on the forward part of
the drops.  You can hold about 10 pounds in that front pack which is more
than enough for radio, extra batteries and more.  You can also take the
pack off and carry it in as you need to.

This system is much better than clipping the radio on the belt because you
will not ever be concerned about it coming loose and having to adjust it
while riding.

I have used a HT over 7500 miles without problems.

Not having a service manual, he needs to know part number for the final

Hi,   I have a BIRD Model 4410 with slugs (New Un-Used) for sale:

The 4410 is the meter that looks like a Bird 43 but has a range switch
with seven positions.  It uses special slugs which are the equivalent of
seven standard Bird slugs.

The meter has N-Connectors

The slugs are as follows:

4410-4    2-30MHz  (10, 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000, 10000 Watts)
4410-5    25-80MHz (1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 Watts)
4410-7    144-520MHz (1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 Watts)

I am asking  $250 for the meter and $60 each for the slugs with the meter.

If you want the slugs by themselves they are $75 each.

Again, These are New Un-Used!

I will also trade even any one of the above slugs for any one of the
following slugs:

        4410-6
        4410-8

I have used a similar unit (the S.E.M. QRM Eliminator).  It is *great*,
but, of course, it only works on QRM you can distinguish; i.e. the QRM is
stronger on a vertical antenna compared to a horizontal antenna.

I have found it particularly useful for eliminating RFI from my
computer(s).  The main antennat is outdoors, but putting a reference
antenna close to the source of teh QRM on the reference input of the QRM
Eliminator makes it possible to reduce the noice from S9+ to S2.

It is really an amazing impact.  The only thing you have to keep in mind is
that the ratio between the QRM and desired signal has to be significantly
different on the two antennas.  This means that you likely won't be able to
eliminate *all* sources of QRM at the same time.  Nevertheless, it is one
of the most powerful means of redicung local QRM such as computer noise,
flouescent lights, High Voltage Line noise, etc.

A DSP is great, but it does not even come close for some types of noise.

Jason,

Don't buy their 6m and 2 receiving converters.  They are very poor
performers.  For 6m, I much prefer the Ten-Tec kit.  It has a much better
sensitivity.

The 2m transmitting converter is pretty good, although it seems to have a
lot of unwanted signals.  In all fairness, I did not have the best
instruments for tuning it up.

It was still fun to build their kits and I learned a lot.

    Clint - it seems to me that you are _assuming_ that there will be
significant interference problems.  Obviously this is possible, perhaps
in rare circumstances but, given the mandated low power, antenna
restrictions and very low deviation on FRS, how probable is this?
Remember that biz-band with all its trunking or other repeaters are at
much higher power and potential coverage.  470 MHz or so is only fair
for very short distance communications, which is what FRS forces.

    I think your fear is a non-issue.  Miniscule number of possible
exceptions shouldn't drive "wants" by other users for "clear channels".
IMO, repeater providers have a much bigger challenge in dealing with
intermod products, coverage overlap, etc.  The whole bb service would
be useless without repeaters.

What is exactly Xmod or intermod rejection. I don't quite understand it.
Also, what's the best, cheapest packet radio device you know of?  I'm
getting my first radio, a 2m Handie Talkie soon.  I have only about $300
to spend on accessories.  I have a CB radio anteanna that I plan to match
for my HT so I can use it in my car  or house (metal roof!)

I am looking to buy a hand held unit VHF/UHF for use backcountry skiing,
hiking and mountain biking.
I have looked at CB and decided that the range is just not good enough.
I intend to do course and get my license.
So what units should I be looking at?  How much should I expect to pay?
Is there a good source for reliable second hand equipment?
Is this sporting use hard on the equipment?
Can someone help a newby?

What is exactly Xmod or intermod rejection? I don't quite understand it.
Also, what's the best, cheapest packet radio device you know of?  I'm
getting my first radio, a 2m Handie Talkie soon.  I have only about $300
to spend on accessories.  I have a CB radio anteanna that I plan to match
for my HT so I can use it in my car  or house (metal roof!)

I plan to buy a 35w amplifier because I live about 15 miles in the country
from the edge a large nearby city will this help much? .  Are there ones or
could I make rig one up so that  instead of connecting it directly to the
HT, I could connect it to an antenna so that the HT could use it
wirelessly?

Can any HT be used for packet radio?  Also, can I decode digtal
transmissions messages and other digital messages with a packet adapter?
Can I put a packet adapter on a scanner to monitor things?

Are there computer programs that produce (maybe decode?) DTMF and CTCSS
tones (How can I find frequencies to write one if needed?) I've heard that
the radio needs direct discrimator output at low error rates. What does
this mean? Do all new rigs have this?

One other thing: If I have  a packet radio adapter and someone else does,
is it legal and possible to use them like modems and play computer games or
other modem related software over them? Do packet BBSes have modem lines so
that I can dial one up on the telephone? What ist there to do on them?



One last thing, could someone suggest a good HT for me? I won't be getting
a second one for a while but would like to keep it under or around $350.  I
would like to use packet, voice, and autopatches on it.  Are there quick
disconnect connectors for HTs? I've heard the antenna connector gets loose
easily after many disconections/reconnections and want to protect that.

Please email replies to me.

Thank You!  73!

Build, ha! Many of us "appliance operators" are either too busy to build
or don't know one end of a soldering iron from the other.

Besides, OEM equipment always looks so much nicer.

bicycle safety flag
fiberglass mast.  It has all the gain you can ask for and is almost
indestructable.  It only costs the $5 or so $$ for the flag, some coax,
TV twinlead, and a connector.  I used 75 ohm stranded coax for the most
flexibility but it is difficult to attach to a twist-on connector.  Since
my first attempt had an SWR below 1.8:1, I didn't try to improve anything.
Using clear twinlead and white tywraps on the white fiberglass makes for a
very unobtrusive antenna -- Except for the coax leading to the HT when in
use, it looks just like any other bike flag.  Have Fun!

We need more of this equipment being offered for half of what it's

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

The plug fits most 12VDC HF radios:
Icom 720, 730, 735, 740, 745, 706..and alike, newer Yaesu and Alinco
DX70.
Kenwood-TS120, 130, 140, 430, 440, 450, 850..
Kenwood-TS50, 60, 660, 670, 680, 690...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.

I use a hand mic.  The radio is attached to the handlebars.  See below.

I took a mount for a handlebar-mounted light (Cateye is the brand of the
light) and modified it to mount on the back of my ht.  If you want details of
this arrangment, email me.

I use the rubber duck.  Distance isn't great but then again our club rptr is
at 825 feet or so (http://www.intercom.net/user/jxs2151)

When mounting the radio to the handlebars I had to do some mods to the
mounting arrangment to dampen vibration.  I have a road bike so bumps are
minimal.  I am much more concerned for the radio when I mount it to my
off-road bike and go off-road, particularly because the radio is right in
front of my face and I can see it being bounced around.  This will probably
not increase the usable life of the radio  :--)

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change/add to the preset
tuning steps for a Yaesu FT-50R?  I would like to tune at 2.5kHz (the
smallest tuning step displayable on the radio).  Currently, the smallest
available tuning step is 5kHz.  Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Auto-presets enable extremely fast tuning
Feeds up to three coax lines and/or random wire

Very small, lightweight and compact
Details in the latest HRO catalogue;  sells new for $530.

No, there are not different sections for VHF-FM and HF-FM.
The radio uses IF modulation. Q40 is the 9.0115 MHz FM VCO.
It is used on all bands. There is only one deviation control,
R274, it is used on all bands. You may be confused by the fact
that there is another adjustment to the FM modulator, R260. This
adjusts the audio level going into IC24a, the FM modulation
limiter IC, and sets the modulation limiter threshold. It too
is active on all bands.

The setup procedure has you setup FM on 10m *only*. That's
because it's the same on all bands. You feed 300 mV of 1 kHz
audio into the microphone input and adjust R274 for +/- 4.8 kHz
deviation. Then you reduce the audio drive to 10 mV and set the
FM modulation limiter threshold adjustment, R260, so that you
have +/- 3.5 kHz deviation. That gives proper modulation limiter
action.

Use of the speech compressor in FM mode is not indicated
since the FM modulation limiter already serves that purpose.
All you'll do with the compressor on is force IC24a harder
into limiting and generate more distortion.

I have for sale a small quantity of GE MVP mobile radios currently on 453
Mhz.  They are the high power model, 21-35 watts.  They are four channel
capable and come with one set of elements.  They have PL encode with a
192.8 versatone included.  Tested good. No accesories.  Great for
conversion to a repeater.

I'm asking $99 each or 5 for $400.  I'll pay the shipping UPS surface.

Email response or send a check to:
Eric Homa
P.O. Box 334
Applegate, CA 95703

Thanks

I do. I'm running 2 of them (KS900s). Good little radios,
*really* 9600 baud ready, not just advertising hype. I
wouldn't recomend one for mountaintop use without a stack
of cavities in front of it, the receiver isn't that selective
or robust against intermod and desense, but they're fine at
home. *Believe* the maximum input voltage spec, don't try
to feed them 13.8 volts from a power supply. They will smoke.
Use a 10 volt regulator.

Of course the KS900 is just 2 watts, but that's often plenty
if you have a decent antenna and decent path. You can drive
an amp with one. I do that for one of the frequencies I operate
because the path is cruddy (50 watt amp). Most any of the HT
amps will work, just make sure you drive the amp's external
keying line with TNC PTT rather than depending on the amp's RF
sensing to TR it. That's too slow.

I have an Icom 706 and was thing about getting the narrow SSB filter.  I was
wondering if there are any users out there that can comment on performance,
audio quality, etc.  Is it worth it or is a better investment and external
DSP?    I also have the 500 hz CW filter that has not been installed...was
thing about swapping it for the narrow SSB if there are any takers.  The
filter is brand new.

Regards,

Tim

I am interested in finding some information on the specs, functionality
uses of the PAGEBOY. I purchased one with a charger and a dead battery.
It has 2 "Vibrasponder" crystals one 349.0 mhz and the other 368.5 mhz.
What are the crystals that were/are available for the pageboy? What is
the voltage of the battery? What is the A & S jacks on the front panel
for? Does it use CTCSS? If so how can I tell what it is set for?

My line noise was S9 on 80m daytime - there were actually stations down
in there I couldn't hear before! Now the noise is maybe S1. Great for
line noise but the phase of thunderstorms changes so much it isn't a
replacement for the noise blanker.

Hello all,
Are there any 727 mods.  I just bought the beauty and don't know any of
the Mods.  Pleeze help.

Yes,
1. Reset radio
2. punch in 11,000
3. You now have a radio that reads from 100-200 Mhz & 400-500 Mhz but
doesn't acually receive very far out of band.

Have a question for those in the know with NiCads...

I have, over the years, owned several different Ham band HTs. On the
first one, I took all the "normal" precautions to avoid NiCad memory
effects (ie complete discharge before recharge, etc.).

On later units as well as on the many other devices that I own
(several power tools, a beard trimmer, two cell phones, a vacum
cleaner, wife's electric mixer, and so on) with NiCads, I have taken
no such precautions.

Perhaps the beard trimmer is the best (worst?) example... I lift it
from the charger, use it maybe 5-10 minutes, and drop it back in the
charger. This has been going on for three years now. The other day, I
decided to let it discharge completely. I took it from the charger,
mowed my face, and set it on the counter while running... Over an hour
later, it was STILL running!

I have read articles from those claiming to be NiCad "experts"....
Some claim there is no such thing as memory in "modern" NiCads. Others
claim that this was and still is a major problem.

Just what is the current wisdom?

From my own experience, I would say that memory is a myth.

Take Care & 73

No the LAW has been on the books since 1993.  Most of the current crop of
Amateur HTs also do not offer cellular coverage.  If they do, they run a chanc
e
of loosing the FCC type acceptance that applies to them.  You see all Amateur
receivers that operate above 30 MHz must adhere to FCC Part 15 rules.
Generally 99 % of the Amateur receivers are type accepted as scanning receiver
s
because that is the only place they firt into the Part 15 rules.  So they also
get caught up in the cellular receiving ban.

Look at the IC- 228H, 229H and 2000H  although the first two are out of
production they will all fit your requirements

Don't try to use the CB (11 Meter) antenna with a 2 Meter transmitter.
It won't work without extensive modifications, and it could wreck your
HT. A quarter wavelength on 11 Meters is about 8 feet. A quarter
wavelength on 2 Meters is about 20 inches. Get the picture?

I'm not an expert, but.. a lot of chargers may decharge batteries
before recharging them.. Or, maybe your shaver would normally last 4
hours! Or maybe I'm wrong. =)

I notice very little improvement using the 1.9 ssb filter.  If
you work cw, stick with the narrow cw filter--in fact get the 250
hz job and add the DSP.  There is so much filter blow by that
narrowing the filters doesn't do as much good as one would
normally expect, plus the 9Mhz filters in the 706 aren't as sharp
as the 455 kHz filters cascaded with the 9 MHz in some of the
other ICOMs.  The DSP or even an audio filter will help get rid
of the audible high pitched squeals getting around the filters in
cw.  These don't seem to be as noticeable with the narrow filter
on ssb, I imagine because the crud getting around the filter
isn't a single tone, so it just sounds like an increase in the
noise floor.

No mods...the USA version has the widest coverage which is strictly the
144-148mhz band.

Unfortunately you may have to live with it. No affordable notch filter
is sharp enough to be any good on freqs that close.

Hi Gang;
        well with the Holiday season barreling down on us, I decided
too give my page some addtions and face lift.
Please, stop by and wonder around. I've made it easy to go from page
to page, without going back to my home page, you can now access any
page, from any page..
i have added 2 new pages....auction & for sale or trade, pages...still
working on both, but, there up for your viewing....

Help! My faithful FT-707 is blind, due to the failure of the display
control IC.
Could someoine tell me where and how I could find that IC.
The Yaesu reference is: 9520 0441, but I believe that the four last digits
are meaningless.
Thanks to any who could help me, and super 73 de Jean-Louis F5RPQ

It's probably the most convenient, but also probably has the worst
sound unless you get the professional stuff which is very expensive.
There are many alternative mics/earphone arrangements on the market so
just try to see which fits best.  Important factors are wind noise,
obstruction w/ helmet, convenience (no hands off the handle bar is
best), and quality of sound on both sides.

At first I was thinking of strapping it on the handle bar so I can
control it.  A friend told me that if I dropped my bike, that could
make damages to the radio.  Now I think I'll put it in a bag or just
leave it on my belt or pocket.

Try to find a very long dual-band handheld whip, which has to be very
soft, light weight, and flexible.  Try to find a ground independent
design, or 1/2 wave on the 2m side.  As the other guy said, it'll be
tough to mount the bike (I had that problem even w/ a 19" whip!!), so
if it's a BNC connector then it's just a matter of taking it off
before mounting the bike.  An hand-adjustable angle mount will do if
you can find one.

Try to find some "mirror" mount and modify it.  A trunk lid mount will
also work too.  It depends on your rack a lot.

>>      Anything else I should keep in mind?

Use RG-174 cable because it's very thin.  My only problem w/ the setup
is that everytime I got off the bike I had to remove the antenna
cable.  A fancy option is to use a crossband repeat capable handheld
on the bike, and use a small radio like the Standard C108 or C508 on
the body, and repeat via the bike radio.

Greetings,

Can anybody recomend a good reference book on testing of
receiver/transmitter performance. A lot of material seems scattered
about in old Ham Radio magazines and ARRL handbooks. RF Design and RF
& Microwaves sometimes talks about test but, I havent come across a
book targeted for the RF test engineer types.

BTW: Someone who can place back issues Ham Radio on CD ROM today could
make a  bundle. Some of the best technical articles I have seen are in
those moldy old pages.

The kind of testing I'm interested in would be noise
figure/sensitivity, IP ,dynamic range, SINAD etc...

I guess I want to be a RF test engineer some day.....

Thanks for any ideas

The FT-50's antenna works well, but it is not so sensitive at outbands
VHF, nor UHF and it is bit too long for FT-50...

So if there is a source for rubber duckies with SMA-connector, please give
me a pointer through email!

In MR mode (not VFO tuning), how do you get the display to show both
the alpha name AND freq of the channel you're on?  The manual says
it'll do it but I can't figure out how.

Suggest check"Marker" and "Linear" push button switches (top row rear on
left and right).  If both of these are pushed in, backup circuit is
disabled and memories are cleared if power is disconnected.  This once
caused me to think the radio was "dead."

NiCad memory isn't a myth, just misunderstood.
Battery memory won't develop unless the battery is discharged
to the exact same level each time. Few applications do this,
most are random. Perhaps something like an outdoor lawn light
triggered by a timer, using nicads and solar cells, would develop
memory.

Hello all,
My VHF rig just died for the second time.  I am looking to replace it
with a Radio Shack HTX-242.  Does anyone out there have any impressions
or advice?  I am also looking to perform the MARS modification and use
it for packet operations.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to figure out the wiring between a transceiver (an Icom
765) and a VHF transverter, and the Icom manual is amiguous on some
points and silent on others.

The manual claims that imposing a (2 to 18v) control voltage on the
defined control line will enable the low level output of the
transceiver (about 1 mw) but later the manual claims that *removing*
that control voltage will enable that same low level output connector
as an input, which sounds contradictory.  I would have guessed that
one preserved the control voltage and simply place the tranceiver
into receive. Also the manual is silent on what happens to the main
antenna connector, and whether that will still be sensitive to
input signals and possibly allow through interference at frequency of
the tunable IF (28MHz) of the transverter.

I'm a long way from this gear with only the documentation to go by,
so simple experimentation is not possible at this time.

Has anyone done this and is able to clarify how to use the low level
connector for BOTH input and output and also whether I need to
terminate the HF antenna connector.

And any differences if the transverter supports separate input and
output connectors?  Does one then use the low level transceiver
output for transmit and the regular antenna input for receive?

TIA and Regards,

I know it can be done and a mod sheet was available at one time.

This goes way back.  About 1970-71 the NOrthern
Virginia Radio Club built 10 2 meter FM tranceivers
based on Hamtronics boards.  It was my first FM rig,
and all of them got on the air successfully with little
effort.
I met the owner several times at Hamfests.  He is very
sharp guy and must be honest or he'd a been out of
business by now!

But this should be GOOD NEWS for hams. Now the sales force at Radio
Shack can offer an alternative to the HTX-202 and 404 for idiots bent
on using radios for drug deals, family reunions, kids to clown around
on, etc. Maybe this will reduce the pressure on 2m and 70cm from
unlicensed morons. Put the burden on us GMRS users, we can take it

I wouldn't do it. The 500 Hz filter is useful (for data anyway, I don't
do Morse with the radio), the narrow SSB filter isn't enough different
from the stock filter to be worth adding. An external DSP unit, especially
one with a good denoiser function, would be a better investment.

One would assume that he is talking about the more typical base
loaded CB antenna, IE K40 style. These are easily modified to
become 5/8-wave 2m antennas. Several articles in the magazines
have detailed how to do it step by step. A half hour's work can
turn a bit of free CB scrap into a useful 2m antenna. (Though
unless I already had the CB antenna and hardware, I'd just pay
MFJ $19.95 for their 2m magmount antenna and call it a day.)

I've had this rig since February of 1996 and have greatly enjoyed it.  No
problems to speak of.  I receive great audio reports when operating SSB on
160 and 75 meters.  I've operated CW and have received great reports there
as well.

there are three differences between lawyers and lab rats:

1) lawyers reproduce faster than rats
2)lawyers will do things that rats refuse  to do
3)  unlike rats,  if you experiment on lawyers, the staff doesnt get

Any TS-570d owners out here? I am curious about how you are getting along
with your radio. Is it as good as everyone in the store tells me it is? It
seems to be a pretty good bang for the buck, but, I never take a salesperson
at 100% of their word.

Anyway, just curious, as I am seriously looking for a new toy...

Thanks in advance - email privately if you like...

The Standard C-108A 2m h-t and its dual-band cousin use SMA rubber duckies,
so replacements are probably available.  I don't know a specific source.

Does anyone know how Motorola speaker mics are wired?  In particular,
might they be wired the same or close to Kenwood speaker mics?  I need a
speaker mic for my TH-79, and the Motorola equipment I have seen seems
to be more durable than anything in the amateur market (and this will be
seeing a lot of abuse.)

Anyone with any info, please e-mail me as well as posting a response.

Most of the newer Motorola portables use the SMA connector.  Check
with anyone selling accessories for Motorola HT's.

Would like to hear from anyone that has found a better solution for the
plug-in scanner antenna on the 2SRA combination 2 meter ham rig & wide
band scanner.  This radio has two antennas - a BNC for the 2 meter
receiver and one with an earphone-type plug on it for the scanner side.
I have lost several of these plug-in antennas while it was on my belt.
Had had several others break off in the jack.  Just talked with another
ham that has had similar experience.  These are not cheap to replace.
Has anyone come up with something better (or even a source of
cheaper-than-ICOM replacement antennas)?

What is the better way of balancing tubes such as 3-500Z units?  Is is
better to balance the standing current for a given bias (zero bias in the
3-500 units of course) or should the plate current be measured at a give
RF drive for each tube?  One measures the mu of the tube while the second
approach measures the transconductance.  Which is more practical for hams?

Is anyone using an SGC tuner on a motorhome?

If so, what are you using for an antenna and how well does it work?  If
you are using a wire around the top, do you have aluminum MH sides or
fiberglass?  I have aluminum.  What is the shape/dimensions of the wire?
Do you recommend this as "the" solution for a motorhome antenna?  I think
it would work pretty good if I could find a long (10+) foot whip that I
would swing up when parked.  ANyone know where to find such a whip?

I have been using an Outbacker Perth.  I am not real happy with it and I
have a very narrow bandwith.  Since I would like to work both pactor and
phone (at opposite ends of the band), I have a problem.
Tnx for your advice.

Kevin,
It's the HTX-202 for 2m and the HTX-404 for 440.  I have had the 202 for
5 1/2 years with no problems.  It's a very good unit and VERY reasonably
priced.
There is no MARS (or any other) modifications that can be done to the RS
HT's...
A while back there were supposed MARS mods floating around, but they
were hoaxes, and if you implemented them, they would render the radio
useless.

Mine serves as a HT, Mobile in the car, and my home base/packet radio.
Check out http://www.tapr.org/
They have schematics for connecting TNC's to radios... their schematics
work great with the RS HT's... Also, http://www.radioshack.com/ has a
support link...
Follow it to personal communications, then to 2 way radios... they list
the HTX-202 and 404 with packet hookups, specs etc.

Later,
Dave

I had bought the Comet last week and I like it. Most of the improvment is
in the 2M band. On my Yaesu FT-50R my S meter goes up about two or three
dots. Hope this helps.

Have IC 2700H with low sensitivity on both bands. I
transmitted into a shoted antenna on 2M for very short
time. Any suggestions on what component (diode)in the
input might have bit the dust.

Thanks for any help.

I'm also interested in one, but not for a while money wise. It's an
incredible charger. It's a rapid charger, but it takes cups for
radios, so you buy one charger for $70-$90 (going rate for a rapid
charger) and you buy cups for $20-$40, and you can for $160 or so have
4 or 5 chargers! You just swap cups. They also make for $500-$600 a 6
slot gang charger, can charge any 6 batteries in 1 hour total.. I
dunno about their quality, but I've heard nothing but good things.
Plus, for about $50, you can add an analyzer I think, shows the batt's
capacity, how the nicads are, etc..

Okay, I can see that the radio will do 15k steps in Vhf but will not
do 30 or 15 in Uhf or 800. Ideas anyone?

Hi,
  Name here is Gerry (WD4BIS) and I have been writing a column for our
club newsletter called "New Ham Partner". With the influx of No Code
Technicians on the repeater, asking the same kinds of questions I asked 20
years ago, I have been trying to answer them.
   Some of the articles are technical, some of them are general
information, but they all address subjects that our new friends are
struggling with.

I have set up a web page for these articles. On this page, I will place
the columns I have already published in past issues of our newsletter.
Doing this on a web page has advantages, the big one being that the
articles wont expire in a newsgroup, I can edit old ones or add new
columns as write them, and I wont have to send re-posts.

The Cost... I will ask that you do not edit the articles, and use my
by-line. If you use them, send me an E-mail and let me know when and
where. If you have a spare stamp mail me a copy of your newsletter to the
address on the page.

Where...  http://web2.airmail.net/gerryc/newham.html

Please bear in mind this site is still under construction and not all of
them are there yet, but they soon will be. (I have Thanksgiving week off)

73's

The Motorola antennas will NOT work with the Yaesu...they are SMA (as on
the Visar), but they are male instead of female...

I rather like the Icom FA-S270A, is small (about 3") and works great on
440..  2m performance isn't as good as the stock antenna, but if you're
working strong repeaters or close-in simplex, it'll be fine.  Price is
right, too, $18 from Icom parts.

        Recently, A message was posted about the TH-79A(D) and 800Mhz.  One person
said that 9 UHF parts were missing from the radio and that they were worth
about $14.00.  I have not been able to contact him via e-mail due to a
problem with Worldnet's mail server.  Can anyone tell me which parts they
are, where to get them etc ...?

        I was always under the impression that the radio's logic prevented
reception not the actual parts on-board.

The next closest denominator is 10. Turn the squelch up a little bit
higher. You still may have to move the tuning every once in a while.

I wonder if someone could give me the address of a comercial supplier
who might have old Yaesu stock. i want to purchase the memory module
for the FRG 7700. Better yet is there someone out there who might have
one for sale?

Thanks

Paul

I just picked up an Alinco DR-590 that needs some attention.
Does anyone have a service manual or alingment instructions
they would be willing to sell/trade/copy ?  Also, could
someone give me the pin out for the mic connector - the
user manual does not have it...

Thanks & 73,
-Fred, KF9ZI

Outch. That's not off-the-shelf stuff.
The only thing you can do is to get this as a spare-part from Yaesu.

Address: Yaesu USA, 17210 Edwards Rd, Cerritos, Ca 90703-2459

The FT707 is a good radio. Had one years ago.

I'm trying to find some information on a Kenwood TS-520s.  I know
someone who is selling one for $375.00 (includes CW filter).  Is this a
good price? How old is the TS-520s? Freq coverage? Power output? Any
info would be great. Thanks a bunch!

I just recently got an FT-107M from a local ham and it appears that the
noise blanker does not work.  It seems to do absolutely nothing at any
time.  I mean there's some juicy impulse noise from a couple of halogen
lamps in the house at times; still no blanking.  Any clues?

I recently bought an old Heathkit Cheyenne tube transmitter for hams, and
I plan on restoring it. It's missing the mobile power supply, however. I
need a power supply that runs off 12 volts input and puts out 300 volts at
50 milliamps AND 600 volts at 110 milliamps for the 6146 final amp tube.
Must have a 6 pin Jones plug for output, and probably should have pos/neg
alligator clips so it can be hooked directly to a car battery. Mail

I've been told that these things were VERY common in the 60s and 70s, and
if you have enough stuff, odds are you might have one of these.

Hi:
I bought one of these radios in January or February of this year. It
stayed in the car till September. Thats includes one long -30 deg winter
as well as a hot summer( 2 weeks!)  The radio works well, I receive good
audio quality reports with it, and it sounds not too bad for a two inch
speaker. I have since added a small external speaker like the ones sold
to go with walkman type radios.
I used the radio AFSK in the CQWW RTTY contest this year running low
power to feed an amp. The enhanced LSB mode worked great. The only
problem with using it in the shack is that you tend to want to fiddle
with the knobs, and they are too small.
I have had a couple of problems with it and I think they are vibration
induced. I am sending it back to Alinco to check it out this time. By
the way, I have had to deal with the folks at Alinco in CA. before and
they are helpfull and eager top please.
Bottom line: No regrets.

Well not quite "legally".  You would not legally be able to use
transmitter in the marine service if it has frequencies for any other
service programmed into it.

I don't consider myself a battery expert but since my customers need the
information I have done some research on Ni-Cad care.

"Memory" is not a myth.  But it is very rare.  It takes many, identical
discharges to induce a real "memory" into a Ni-Cad.  Even when "memory"
really is the trouble it can usually be corrected with a few full charge
cycles.

What many people experience and try to blame on "memory" is a loss of
capacity usually due to something else.  Things like undercharging, long
term overcharging, a damaged battery (reversed, shorted, or vented cell)
or perhaps just a battery that is not right for the demand.

To keep it to shavers.  I used to charge mine about every five days or
so.  Leaving it on the charger all the time would cause it to stay
pretty warm.  And heat is a prime enemy of a Ni-Cad so opted not to
leave it charging all the time - it lasted 6 years!.  However if the
charge rate is low enough (usually C/10 or less), the battery can
usually dissapate enough heat for it not be too much of a problem.

          Hi all:

          Looking for a hetrodyne osc. crystal for an old
          Heath SB-401 being nursed back to life for school
          club.

          Looking for the 40 meter xtal.  It is 15.895
          mhz and was part of the accesory kit that made
          the 401 a stand-alone transmitter.  That is all I
          know.  The Heath manual is rather scotch on
          information about it.

          It is NOT an FT-243 holder and I am not quite sure
          if HC6/U is the proper description.  It looks like
          the small xtals used in the early days of 2 meter
          solid state rigs ( Drake TR-22, Regency,etc. guess
          I'm showing my age) but, about twice that size.

          Thanks in advance

          Dan, KB1BG

This is very similar to the mounting method that cycle couriers use here for
their radios. I stick my ht in a pocket in the side of my bag at the moment
with a 5/8-1/4 antenna on it. A gellcell in the back adds some omph!

I am still looking for a headset that fits comfortably under my helmet (which
are required by law in NZ; not wearing one can cost $80 and is stupid to
boot!). I have had limited success with a throat mike and earpiece. I made an
extended PTT that was attached to the handle bars.

I have made a mount that bolts onto the bike frame down at the rear axel
(since the frame is rather tough there). I have a 5/8 that I want to try, but
as some people have suggested, a 1/2 may be better.

The 8C line is 8 Volts out to power the DTMF pad. Difference in power is
probably the difference in the mike output levels between the old and
the new.

  The Motorola Pageboy is based on the old two-tone paging format that
almost no one uses any more.  Might check with a small Fire Department
some where and see if they want it.  The encoders in use now are all
digital as is the decoder in the pager.  {The Pageboy is a nice paper

While I agree that the narrow SSB filter is a waste of money,
I don't agree with the advice to get the 250 Hz narrow filter.
Its too narrow for data, and it rings too much for comfortable
listening to narrowband signals. A DSP box can offer narrow
FIR filters (down to 50 Hz) which won't ring. Cascaded with
the 500 Hz filter, this makes a nice combo. And a bit more
audio amplification and an external speaker doesn't hurt the
usability of the radio either.

BTW I think too much is made of "blowby" in this radio. While
I can hear a bit of that, it isn't enough to affect the AGC,
so the fact a DSP box would be outside the loop isn't very
important. It'll still clean up the signal without pumping.
Even the el cheapo Radio Shack DSP makes a worthwhile difference.
(I expect something with real noise reduction would be even
better.)

Hello Newbie,well I suggest if you first get your no code tech,which is
not too hard (books at ham radio stores) and get your license,I am a
V.E.C.,or use to be any way,now the V.A. Radio Room is closed ,that you
get a HX202 from Radio shack,if you can produce a license,they will sell
you one for about $200.00,it has 5 watts,or 1 1/2 watts and can be used
on the two meter ham band,VHF 144.000-148.000 MHz FM ,there are many
repeaters there in range of your unit (80) miles to link you much
further,I am in the L.A. basin and we have mountains all around with
standard repeaters on them,that I can link to Mexico or to SanBernideno
or up to Santa Barbra,with 1 1/2 watts,it is amazing but true,The HX202
is a good starting out radio,take some time and learn how to use it
corectly,that is about it OM WB6MCF out

 I recently purchased the HTX-212, which has now been replaced by the
HTX-242. (Basically the same radio with some added features - including
the price!). This radio comes with a MARS/CAP frequency range of 143.000
to 149.000 xmit range and a 136.000 to 174.000 recieve range. By holding
down the F + DTMF buttons upon turn on of the radio, you can open this
extended range up. I also plan on using this radio for MARS. It also can
be used for packet as well. I'm very satisfied with this radio, I would
suggest buying the HTX-212 if it is still available in your local RS,
since it is cheaper than the HTX-242.

Michael, for those remaining very few of us who don't yet know about
any federal laws against possession of this or of any other type of
radio equipment, could you please help by elaborating on this?

I've tried the standard headset/PTT setups put out by the manufacturers
(Kenwood in my case), but found that they didn't last very long for
hang gliding.  The wires are just too wimpy and you don't really want
a metal band going across your head UNDER your helmet.  The wires can't
take all the flexing that occurs in flight and when you fold up your
harness and radio gear.  I parted out a speaker/mic and find that the
coiled cord is ideal for our purposes.  I placed the speaker and mic
just where you said and finished the wiring with two quick disconnects
at the back of the helmet- one main connector and another which shorts
two of the wires for a PTT switch.  The radio and wiring stays with the
harness and you just need to make two connections to the helmet when
you suit up.  It's very robust and the speaker/mics are cheaper than
the headsets, I believe.

Dave, are you signed up for the hang gliding mailing list?  There's a
wealth of knowledge there, but a lot of posts.  To sign up, send email
to:   [e-mail]    with:   subscribe

Hello DSP freaks

I have just purchased the EZ-KIT lite from Analog Device (ADSP2181 and
AD1847). The EZ-KIT contains the source code for four FIR filters
(FIRDEMO.DSP), but I do not know how to calculate the equiation weights
or what ever it is in the four files fir1.dat, fir2.dat, fir3.dat and
fir 4.dat (containing a lot of hex-digits). Do enybody know how to do?

Do you further more know how to build notch filters - the equiation...

Any source code for solving the above will be pleased...


Yours faithfully

Excuse me for being dense, but I am fairly new to the hobby. What
other purposes might someone have for making these mods? I see these
messages going back and forth and listening to cellular calls seems to
be of primary interest to most people. I have not bothered with any of
these mods because I really don't care to listen to cellular
calls. Your message has piqued my curiosity and am genuinely
interested in finding out why I would want to make some of these mods
if listening to cellular phone calls is of no interest to me.

I don't understand why I would want the ability to transmit on a
frequency that I am not licensed to transmit on. In fact I would be
reluctant to make such a mod because of the chance that I might
inadvertently interfere with other communications. What I mean is that
PTT might get keyed accidentally if the radio is in my pack and happens
to be on a non-amateur frequency.

Hi:
        I am not satisfied with the stop band rejection of the optional
FL-223 (1.8 kHz SSB filter 9.0115MHz) in my IC-706.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a 3rd party source
for real crystal 9.0115 MHz  SSB filters.
I belive that the in/output impedance is about 2k

Incidentally, the ICOM
9 MHz filters are monolithic ceramic and most likely
made by Murata. Probably very cost effective, but
believe that  "  real" crystal filter would offer
much better stop band rejection.

Hi Scott...

Well, I assume that you're talking about the good old Motorola voice
pager?  If so it is probably quite similar to my Minitor pager.

I might be wrong, but those two "crystals" are probably not what you
think.  Are those "crystals" large rectangular boxes?

If so then I would assume that they are tone Reeds set at 349 hz and
368.5hz.  When these two audio tones are sent over the radio frequency
your pager is set for it triggers a beeper and opens the squelch.

Typically the duration of the tones are 1 second for the first one,
and 3 seconds for the second.

>What are the crystals that were/are available for the pageboy?

Depends if the pager is "Low band"  (35-50MHz) or "High Band" (around
150MHz). Look for a crystal inside the pager.

>What is the voltage of the battery?

It requires a special battery, check with Motorola on that, I don't
know that model well enough to tell you.  Are they 2 small batteries?

>What is the A & S jacks on the front panel

Just a guess, my old Minitor had a jack for external "A"ntenna and
external "S"peaker.

>Does it use CTCSS? If so how can I tell what it is set for?

Nope, no CTCSS in those old pagers.  As I said, they were set off by
reeds.

Hope this helps.

Price is about $50 high depending on condition. Cover 160-10 ham bands
only. Good tubes puts out 100W plus on all bands. Mfg in late 70's. Be
careful about broken coils on the bottom. They are not available.

Hi Marco,

I have a TR7A station that I *might* be willing to sell. It is in perfect
condition and includes: mic, heavy duty power supply, CW filter, 6 kHz AM
filter, external speaker, phone patch, keyer, fan on xcvr, fan on power
supply, service manual, extender cards and some miscellaneous spare parts.
All the accessories are the matching ones from Drake. What is your friend
willing to pay?

Cheers,

->Im looking for something like the Cushcraft AR-270b  with some good
->gain.
->it has to be dual band and the price sould be around $100

CAUTION -- BLATANT COMMERCIAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS:

Look at www.rst-engr.com at the base station antenna section.  At $12.50
each, you could make eight of them for $100, not only dual band, but octal
band.

        I just bought an Icom IC-27A from a local ham and I'm looking for
any CAP/MARS modification information for this radio.  I can't seem to
find any information in the usual modification repositories.  I am also
looking for a manual for this radio.  If anyone has a manual, I will
gladly reimburse for postage and copying.

        Thanks in Advance!

You know this is exactly what the F.C.C. wants is for us licensed hams
to get disgusted with ham radio and go to computers,there are a lot of
company's wishing to posses these frequencies for digital wireless palm
tops and they are going to get us so disgusted with no code and no
license operators,that we will move on,they wanted to drop the service
in 1984 but the ARRL picked up the ball and ran with it,now they are
getting tired too,I honestly believe that ham radio as we know it today
is doomed to a slow agonizing death,of course this is only my
openion,and you are entitled to yours too,it sure is not the way it use
to be,I know that,wireless is coming in SSB CW RTTY PACKET on these
frequencies is on the way out WB6MCF [e-mail]

In a hamfest I saw a TH-79E and this radio transmitted 144-146 and
430-440.   The difference was when i got to 145.995 , instead of going
back to 144.000 the radio kept on going up, receiving but would not
transmit (it beeped).   I took the CTCSS cover I found the green wire
cut.   This guy said the ham who sold him the radio did this strange
mod just using the keypad (before the keypad mod the radio was
transmitting  broadband).
I have a Kenwood TH-79E and I would like it to receive only. It is
modified and can transmit.
Can you explain this?  I never heard about this before.

Hello,
        I am trying to identify some older Harris PC network cards which have
come into my posssesion.  Here are some particulars about them:

        -  they have Lanier Network BIOS 2.6.30
        -  identifiers '108NIC', '88NIC', and '92-003904-00'  on PCB
        -  ISA cards
        -  2, 8-pin dip switches , and one red and one green LED on back
        -  9 pin DB connector with some sort of convertor attachment to a BNC
                connector on back also
        -  a 80188, some sort of Zilog serial controller (Z0853008PSC), a
                couple eproms, and other assorted logic on board

        If you can identify them, I would appreciate being enlightened.
Thanks in advance!

(sigh) Here we go again...

'Most of you probably know' this is BS.
For the umpteenth,m penultimate, unprintable, time,
You Sir are Lying!.
Please cite the specific law paragraph for you statement that posessing
such an amplifier is a 'violation of federal law.

IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO POSSESS ONE.
It is not illegal to even use one if you are licensed and stay within
your assigned (10m) band(and of course don't splatter etc.
It is not illegal to buy one, or (if you are a private party) sell one.
It is not illegal to build one. If you build more and sell them then
that's illegal because you fall under manufacturing rules then and
type acceptance.

And don't tell me that "it's obvious what he wants to use it for"
YOU don't know what he's thinking, nor have you any right.
You're not a cop , and the thought police that love to try to run 20m
haven't yet managed to take over.

You owe him an apology for being a nosy busybody.
Go back to your own knitting.

If you want, (I know you won't) you might want to brush up on the
FCC RULES. (Part 97.313, 97.315, and 97.317)

The end NEVER justifies the means and you do nobody any good lying
about something that is so easily checked by jumping over to the FCC
Home page.

Please don't bother sending email directly to me as I won't answer it.
Keep your replies on the newsgroup so we all can enjoy it.
Don't forget to apologize to the original writer.

Brian,

        I have one anf have been using it for the pastweek and a half. I just
past my 1a,2,3a,3b for tech plus with csce for general .I'm using it at
different rates to get over that memorizing and dot/dash counting. I'm
not there yet but I can read individual  characters up to 40 wpm. I gets
a bit more problematic when I start combining characters randomly. The
volume on it is fine for sitting some where without a lot of noise but
it gets a little difficult to here (sort of like a DX), when traveling
at  highway speed in my pickup truck. For those time when noise is to
much I use the headphone feature and it is quite clear. I found a quirk
that is no real problem just annoying sometimes In the interactive
setting. I f you need to Know give me a line at my E-mail addr.

I am not so fortunate to be able to cycle every day, but I have done it
often enough to make these suggestions:

Get a J-Pole antennna.   I only operate 2 meters, but there
are dual band versions.  Unlike 1/4 wave antennas, a J-Pole does
not depend on any ground plane.  Unlike a half-wave, the feed
is at the bottom.  Mine is made from 1/4 inch al rod.  So I put
a pennant on the top and it looks like a bike flag.  I have compared
notes with other cycling hams and all agreed on the J-Pole.

I tried using the head set made by Kenwood for my HT, but it
did not fit well under my helmet.  Actually it doesn't fit all
that well on my head without a helmet either, but ...

So I went to one of the earbud mikes.  I sewed a piece of velcro to
the straps on the helmet to hold the mike pick up.  So I put the helmet
on.  Put the ear piece in, press down the velcro, and it is very secure.
Then I thread the wires inside my jersey so it is not flapping around.
My earpiece has a PTT switch which winds up near my waist and can be
locked in the "T" position.  There is also a VOX position, but I only
use it when stopped or riding slowly.  Besides the obvious problem with
breathing, all other 2 meter ops use PTT so VOX tends to confuse them.

I have tried carrying the HT in the pockets on the back of my jersey, and in
various packs on the bike.  I would like to try a handle bar bag because
it might be arranged so you can see the radio while riding.  The display
often has something useful, like frequency or low -battery.  :-)

All the reports I've heard and seen for Ten-Tec's transverter kit's have
been very good. I called and received their catalog and there's lots of
neat things inside. I was coresponding with a friend who was part of a
group of 6M guys using the kits and their reports were all positive...

Daniel,


I bought one of the first 2 to 6 m transverters they made.  I had many
problems with the construiction (I bought the kit) due to problems with
the silkscreen and the manual, however as I understand it, those problems
have been rectified.  The transverter  works as it should however it seems
to cover only aboput 3 mhz with full power.

If you get one, tell me what you think of it.....

You can buy J&M helmet headsets at any HONDA or HARLEY DAVIDSON motorcycle
dealer.  They have the boom mike model for 3/4 Helmets and the chin piece
mike for full coverage helmets.   The HONDA and HARLEY microphone
impedances are different.  You can call J&M and find out which is best for
your radio.

I use an sgc 230 with a long wire bent in any shape you can
imagine, into trees, on a boat, out a bedroom window. The book
that comes with the tuner shows many types of wire ant for
mobile use. This is a great tuner.

For what it is worth, I copy 170 shift rtty and packet with the
250 hz filter almost every day, don't notice that much ring,
either.  Maybe my 706 is unusual, but the blow by is b-a-d.  On
forty meters you can hear strong broadcast whistles at least six
kHz.  While this doesn't seem to make even weak signals much more
difficult to copy, it sure is annoying and fatiguing to me.

I agree that the DSP or even an audio filter would probably get
rid of many, if not the bulk, of the whistles, since they don't
seem to be noticeable until you get maybe three kHz away from a
strong one.  They still pump the agc and cause audio intermod,
and no outside box is gonna help that.

Don't read this as bad rapping the IC706--I love mine and
wouldn't trade it for a 775.  Well, maybe I would, then buy
another 706.

I built one a year ago last summer, and other than being
surprised at the complexity for the price I was very pleased.
Heard the residual output of a Motorola R2004D service monitor
and mine did 14 watts ouput with about 6 watts drive.  I don't
have it anymore, but sold it to a local who is also happy with
it.

I am looking for a good basic CW radio by Ten Tec but am not familiar with
the older models like Triton, Delta and others.

An analog read-out would be fine.

I would like 160 meters but not essential.

500 to 1,000 khz filter.

Stable VFO.

Nothing fancy, I do not work contests.

Is there a WEB page or FTP site where radio specs are posted ?

Any advise would be appreciated.

                                                George, KG6GA

Wow this is a bit scary.  11 meter ams have been outlawed since the
seventies.  Not exactly a new law you know!  --Ed

know cutting the yellow wire makes it TX on all freqs.... heard
something about the blue making the radio work on 800 mHz ????
If so how do you get the display to show the freq???

Daniel,

It is a great unit.  I have tried two other transverter kits.  The Ten-Tec
transverter beats them all.  I even pumped full power from my ICOM 735 (100
Watts) into it and it survived! (I won't recommend a repeat of the
experiment).

The only problem, I have had, was the heatsink on the driver transistor
shorting to the shield of one of the coils.  This fried a trace on the
board, but it was easy to fix and nothing else seems to have suffered.  Of
course the shield now has electrical tape around it.

Dave,
It's real old. 15 years of more since they first came out. I had one
before the WARC bands were added. Not a bad rig. 6146 tube finals --
rugged. Also tube driver. Price way too high in my opinion. But listen
to other replies for more accuracy on that.

Haven't seen any mods or evaluations of the 3 band mobile rig...

Is this a dog or what???  Can the 220Mhz Tx be turned on???

Don't care if it goes "C" or not, just seems a shame to miss that
4th band, for a great all around rig... [ if it works out that way?]

Either that or Standard is not a popular brand. <???>

Any owners out there?

I think that 8C stands for 8 volts continuous. No connection is required
to this pin in your case unless you need power for amplifier in the mike.
The touch tone pad was probably powered from this line.

I suspect that the reason the output level in SSB mode is lower with the
new mike is the new mike has lower output.
In SSB the average output level is proportional to the average input level
so lower mike output translates to lower power output.
7 Watts on audio peaks read with an average reading watt meter does not sound
bad for a 25 W radio, but you may want to check the service manual for the cor
rect
procedure to adjust the SSB mike gain.
As I remember there is a pot inside to adjust the SSB mike gain but none
for the FM mike gain. The factory FM mike gain was way to high and my audio
was always into limiting on FM so I added a pot to adjust it.
This is probably why you did not notice a change in audio level in the FM mode
,
because it was already into limiting.

I should note that whoever [e-mail] is, he has nothing to do with
myself. As you can see, our email addresses are quite different. I usually
post under this name only in alt.radio.pirate (and I have no intention of
running 500 watts, I usually run only 50) and I would like to avoid
confusion between myself and another person who has decided to call
himself Radio Man too. I may have to switch to a new pseudonym in a.r.p if
this guy insists on asking for 500 watt amps and such under the name Radio
Man.

Only if they still intend to use them as marine transmitters.

80.203 says that you can only have marine channels programmed into a
marine transmitter.  If you modify radio to work elsewhere you will blow
the type acceptance.  In addition, a general radiotelephone operator's
license or a first or second class radiotelegraph operator's certificate
is required for anyone that makes internal repair, adjustments or mods
to a marine transmitter, including VHF.

I smoked the fuse on my TS-520 mistuning it (I didn't read the
instructions closely enough).  After replacing the fuse, I tuned into a
dummy load on several bands and the radio puts out about 100W.  When I
check the PA plate current at idle (which should be about 60ma).  The
meter reads correctly, but occasionally twitches upward.  Have I damaged
the 6146B's or the driver tube?  Is this ok?
Thanks

I have modified a 2 inch speaker from a cellular phone hands free kit,

a length of brass tubing cut from the 1/8inch dia semi-rigid coax.

The tube was soldered to a small pad of pcb about 1" square. This is the
boom mic and it fits to the side of the helmet with a patch of velcro, it
comes unstuck if I come unstuck. That mic cord goes down to the ptt on
the speaker box and then to the radio. It works nicely, the mic gets very
little wind noise, is hands free and the radio is in front where I can
see it.

The Yaesu FT-50 is modifiable for transmit on the VHF marine band and
also the UHF GMRS band. The FT-50 would be AM receive only on the VHF air
band, though the radio may transmit very low power out on the VHF air band.

It's illegal to sell, or offer for sale, any non-type accepted amplifier
capable of being used below 144 MHz in the US unless the buyer and seller
are both licensed amateurs or dealers of amateur equipment. 97.315 (3)(4)
and (5).

Type acceptance specifically forbids operation on ten and 11 meters.
97.317

So:

If you have a PA that operates on ten or eleven meters, and are not an
amateur, it is illegal. If you sell one, or offer one for sale, to a
non-amateur or if you are a non-amateur or non-amateur dealer it is
illegal.

Read the rules before giving the sermon.

That's not exactly the way that regulation reads, Tom.  You have
paraphrased it so as to omit the essential concept that those
restrictions ONLY apply to amplifiers intended to be use in
amateur stations operated under Part 97.

> Type acceptance specifically forbids operation on ten and 11 meters.
> 97.317

I disagree again.  Nothing in Part 97 forbids operation of any
equipment on 11m.  There are separate CB regulations which do that.
Part 97 only makes it clear that any such operation is not permitted
by any amateur station licensed under Part 97.

I continue to disagree, Tom.  Simple possession and buying and
selling are not made illegal by anything in Part 97.  Only the
buying, selling, manufacturing, importing and modifying "for use in
a[n] [amateur radio] station" are restricted by those rules.

Yes, I know it's a picky distinction, Tom, but it's important because
it is the difference between what's legal and what's not.

I use this machine to give out information about the next ham

Any help would be appreciated.

Set the standing current (no drive) in each tube to be the
same (adjust bias). Apply drive, and adjust the drive level(s)
to each tube to get the same plate current.

If you are really pedantic, now try halving the drive. If there
is a large difference in plate current, replace the lower reading
tube.

because a number of high-profile members of the profession diligently slave
to become the ambulance-chaser stereotype that is the root of the gags.

all you gotta do is listen to the radio and tv ads.

one radio station personality locally commented once that for the money the
law firm was paying for the spot, and for the production cost of the spot, the

cost of a professional voice talent would have been peanuts and would
enhance their appearance and remove some of the "used car salesman" image
the founder projects...

Hi!


I have a couple FT411E that use the amateur band, but I no need to work
in a comercial frequency!
Is there any way to modify the TX-RX using only a keyboard setup, without
cutting any wire? or using a software transfer.. I know it's possible
to transfer data from computer, if you please explain me how to!

Tanks in advance!!!

Can anyone give me suggestions for the most secure repeater controller
especially from the landline/phone connection.

We are looking to update our repeater and are open to suggestions. We are
particularly interested in security measures. We already do not use the upper
control codes over the air(someone could decode it from the input frequency).
We are looking particularly at the access code security from the landline. A
friend told me that there were controllers which use several passwords that
are called for by the controller IE-you call the repeater on the phone, when
it picks up it gives you 4 tones--meaning that you have to put in the fourth
security code.

Does anyone know who makes this?

Thanks,

Mark

The FT50 has a programming loophole which allows you to scan at 15kHz
(or for that matter, any available tuning step) at any frequency.
Here's how to do it:

1. From VHF VFO mode, enter in a frequency (like 145.000) and set the
desired tuning step (like 15kHz) and offset, if required.

2. Store these values to a memory location (press and hold the orange F
key for a few seconds until a flashing memory location appears in the
sub display.  Select a memory location with the knob and press the F key
again to store the values).

3. Enter Memory Recall mode by pressing the MR key.  Select the memory
location that you wrote to in step 2.  The VHF value should appear in
the display.

4. Enter Memory Tune mode by pressing the MR key (the MT should now show
on the upper left portion of the display).

5. Using the keypad, enter the desired frequency that you wish to begin
scanning from.

6. Without making any other changes, store the edited data into the
current memory location.

You should now have your desired tuning step and UHF frequency stored at
that location.  You can confirm the tuning step but don't change it or
else you'll have to repeat the procedure.

Tip: Use a pair of L and U memory locations (lower and upper scanning
boundaries, of which there are 5 pairs) to facilitate easy UHF band
scanning.  Using the above example, store the VHF frequency and tuning
step to the L1 (lower boundary) memory location, enter MT mode, change
the frequency and store the edited data back to L1.  Then, store (copy)
L1 to the U1 (upper boundary) memory location, enter MT mode, change the
frequency and store the edited data back to U1.

You are now boundary scanning in UHF at 15kHz steps.

Cheers and happy scanning!

As many of you may know, the Rockwell/Collins Amateur Radio Club has
secured Art Collins former call sign, W0CXX.  This thanks to the
efforts of Warren Bruene W5OLY, Rod Blocksome K0DAS, Tom Vinson NY0V,
Jay Miller KK5IM and Butch Schartau K0BS and the gracious
accommodation of Mary Collins.  Certainly, there is no more
appropriate permanent home for the callsign of the individual who has
impacted amateur radio to the degree Art Collins did.  On behalf of
the membership and Board of Directors of the Collins Collectors
Association, CCA president Bill Wheeler, K0DEW offers our
congratulations to the Rockwell/Collins Amateur Radio Club.

Tuesday morning, I spoke with Rod Blocksome, K0DAS out at Collins. Rod
said that they will again activate Club Station W0CXX.  This time, it
will be tonight on the Collins Collectors Association 75 meter net.
A special QSL card will be issued. For now, QSL to the callbook
address of Tom Vinson, NY0V and be sure to enclose an SASE.

The Tuesday net meets evenings on 3805 at 9:00PM EST and runs through
11:00PM Eastern to accommodate propagation across the country.

CCA President Bill Wheeler, K0DEW further invites all amateurs to join
with us and become a part of Collins history.

The Collins Collectors Association is honored to have been chosen
to have its affiliated nets be the vehicle by which Art Collins'
callsign is reactivated.

Hello everyone.  I am interested in helping my father find a good radio.
He has had  his technician license for 3 years now and has not gotten on
the air.
He doesn't have full and complete understanding of electronics so I want
him to have one that would be easy for him to use.
I am not totally sure whether to choose a mobile or portable.
Can anyone give me some recommendations?
Send your recommendations to [e-mail]

Some stuff deleted for brevity...

Barry,
A friend of mine used to work for a Tempest team.  They routinely swept
through military installations looking for noise sources, and eleminating
them.  Mostly, they were worried that information was leaking out of the
base, but would also look for strong signals that caused interference.
Occasionally, a civillian would call up the base and ask " hey, what's
that signal at _______ Hz?"  They would drag out the equipment and start
digging.

Perhaps a quick note with "receiving your signal well at 5/6 Hz" and
requesting a QSL card confirming reception would help ;^)

Then again, perhaps not.........
Thanks for the info on the filter.

I'm interested in replacing my MFJ-1278B Controller.
I operate  Packet, Pactor, Baudot RTTY and AMTOR. Occasionally I'll
SWL some Utility Stations or look
for SlowScan and FAX transmissions. The MFJ is not particularly great
on any of these modes and I'd particularly like something that was
more effective on the HF modes in the presence of QRM and at low
signal levels.
Has anyone had experience with a number of the current models of
Multi-mode controllers? Which is best for the type of use I described?
Thanks,

Sorry for the 'spam', but I really couldn't find an 'appropriate' group
for this ...

Does anyone have details of where I can get hold of Rayovac 'RENEWAL'
rechargeable Alkaline batteries/chargers in the UK ? Or alternatively
mail order from the US, if the shipping is reasonable.
Please send email - I'll post a list of suppliers if there is any
response.

Also, does anyone have experience of using these in a USR/Palm Pilot -
I understand the batteries are good for low current applications, and
not so good for high current - They should be fairly good for the
Pilot ?

Many thanks,
Jack

HRO used to sell them, abt $50 each.  I have one or two packs around here
(plus a tr2400 needing an LCD change).  You can easily make your own
battery packs with nicads.  I may have a connector or two hanging around
(for sale, naturally).  Let me know if you are interested.

  Depends what you mean by "OK".
  I assume you mean use the PTT button to send out Morse Code.
  In principle this will work but most FM rigs take a short but
  significant amount of time to stabilize their carrier frequency.
  In CW terminology, this is "chirp". I've tried this on FM
  rigs before to get the attention of an SSB/CW operator and
  generally have gotten the response of "hey, who's got that
  awful CW signal.. the chirp is so bad I can't copy it".

  I haven't tried the FT-51R in this manner but my bet
  is that it will have the problem. (This is not an issue
  for FM transmissions, by the way.)

When I turn on the TS-940 the frequency readout display will not stop
scrolling.  I have tried resetting the CPU by pressing the A=B button
whill turning unit on, but this dosn't stop the readout from scrolling
up or down in frequency depending which way I turn the VFO knob.   I'm
not too bad at fixing rf problems but this digital stuff is something
else.  I have narrowed the proble to the Digital A board ( swapped A
board from a friends 940 and radio works fine with his board).  The 3v
battery is okay.  Anyone out there have any idea's or can point me in
the right direction?  The only help I can get from Kenwood is: "send
it in for repair"!.  In my opinion, Kenwood seems to not like dealing
directly with Hams!  Please help me if you can.

squelch will not break with an incoming signal.  The S-meter deflects and
the green LED comes on but no audio.  I cycle the power and it seems to
recover, or I tap on the top or face of the ht and the audio will come on.
I've even turned the squelch control full off and no audio will occur.  Has
anyone else had this problem??  Any insight would be appreciated.

Maybe the jokes aren't funny. But neither is what lawyers are helping
to do to our hobby, our country and our world.

People oftn use humor to release frustration and tension. The cost of
doing business with and the results of lawyers causes both. No wonder
there are so many lawyer jokes.

Perhaps if lawyers had a canon of ethics which kept them from taking
frivolous cases, charging exorbanant rates, raping those who win large
judgement sums, and taking or making action that hurt groups like
amateur radio they would have a some respect from the general public.

Of course, some lawyer will try and justify or nullify the above. That's
what they do.

Is the Yeasu G5400 the only az-el rotator on the market??  I'm looking to
purchase a rotator, but the 5400 seems very expensive on my tight budget.
I'm looking to eventually do automated tracking so it would be nice to find
a rotator with the 0-5V output.  Any help is surely appreciated!

73,

The real question is why you don't want to run directly to the
vehicle battery?  The system you describe is much more complicated
and subject to failure than using the vehicle battery found in
the car.

The 20 ga wire is not going to be enough for your purpose,
especially if the gel cell is low for any reason.  If you use
wire smaller than 14 ga, you should fuse the line at the maximum
carrying capacity of the wire.  (My handbook has a void here,
but I think that 4 amps would be safe, although likely to blow
frequently.)  The diode can be located anywhere, but the fuse
should be as close to the battery as possible.  Best practice
is to fuse both leads, in case of a vehicle ground failure.

My recommendation is:
1. Run 10ga wire to the vehicle battery (best choice) fused
at 25 amps or so.  Forget the gel cell.

2. If you use the gel cell, run 14 ga to the vehicle battery,
fused at 15 amps maximum.

A simpler system will almost invariably be more reliable, safer,
and less likely to experience design problems due to unforseen
interactions and Murphy's law.  I have considered a second
battery, but only at power much higher than 100 watts.

I have installed HF mobile in three cars, and have never had
a problem running directly to the battery.

Hello to all and thanks for reading this message

I recently acquired some surplus cable TV trunk line. I suspect the cable is 7
5 ohm but
not sure. The cable is 11/16 inch in diameter with black plastic coating over
an
aluminum jacket there is a white dialectric and a thick center condutor. the n
umbers
written on the wire are T10  J. On the reel there is a Type No T10625JBFV1 and
 below
that the number GN7GN. I would appreciate any help at identifying this wire wh
at it's
approxmatly worth and were I would be able to fine connector that would fit it
.

Thanks Again

This problem was the subject of Service Bulletin #951. They said that
this was due to a faulty ROM socket for IC2. The units with serial
numbers 701xxxx to 811xxxx and from 903xxxx to 909xxxx are not likely to
have this problem. Units above 909xxxx do not have a socket. The fix is
to carefully remove the socket (first unplug the chip) and solder the
chip in directly. Since the board has to be soldered on both sides, it
is best to clip the pins on the old socket and remove them with heat one
at a time. I personally would just put in a high quality socket so that
I could have the option of installing the Jack Giehl upgrade ROM if I so
desired. Observe antistatic rules when handling the chip.

Chuck.

I decline to differ. When ever a new product is under developement at
my company I am told to say "thats news to me . I never heard we are
working on a model xxx". If I were to confirm it, then it would help
the competition get geared up with a new model. Also , the head of my
company said that no consumer will want the existing model (icom 706).
they will wait for the ic-708.
  I was told first hand at Boxboro convention that Yaesu will have a
Icom 706 clone with 160 thru 440 mhz and 35 watts on the 2 and 440 bands
The same source at Icom who gave me the "OFFICIAL TRANSMIT MODS from
200 hz to 200 MHZ one year ago before anyone on any newsgroup knew about
them, told me of this IC-708. Also I am the person who sent in the
CORRECT mode to open up the transmit from 200hz to 200 mhz on the radio
to "ART SCI" on VOLUME 9A,or 9B. One year ago he had printed the wrong
mode in his manual. I sent him the OFFICIAL MODE FROM ICOM LETTERHEAD
and he published it as well as gave me a free mode book. ASK them!!
How can I be wrong!

I have obtained an FT708R that has been xtaled up for freqs other than
the 70cm band. I wish to get it back in band (430-440MHz) but have no
documentation to do so. The xtal I suspect controls the TX/RX freqs is
46524.5kHz. This give a TX/RX range of 470-480MHz. Can anyone give me a
clue as to what freq this rock should be, or does anyone have the
relevant info to calculate the rock freq.

thanks

Bill, I too have wished for a higer voltage battery pack for the 50 or
51 in a small form factor, and I would generally be willing to take a
lower capacity to get it. However, my (limited) experience with 3V
lithiums is that they are designed for high capacity at a low current
rate, and that their terminal voltage collapses to as little as 2V at
modest currents. For instance, the 1/2 AA Tadiran sold by RS does this
at only 20 mA. OTOH, the 1.5 AA Energizer lithiums do pretty well, so
who knows? Let me know how this works if you try it. Thanks,

Don (KE4KYO)

Daniel,

I built mine last summer and it fired up the first time.  That day I
worked Colorado and San Fransisco on the 8-10 watt output with just a
dipole sitting on top of a hutch in the family room.  If you have a rig
like an ICOM 735 that can be modified for general coverage transmit it
will work the whole 4 MHz. I was told by the Ten-Tec rep that it should
be checked for spurious emissions prior to use in the 52 to 54 MHz
range.

Hope your experience will be as good as mine.

George, The Ten-Tec 544 (digital) and 540 (analog) I believe were once
called "Triton." No 160 meters, but good rigs. I have brochure.

Delta was later (digital), 160 thru 10 plus gen. coverage. That is Delta
II or Model 536. Not sure about WARC bands. Ten-Tec sells used ones
when available.

I won't try to nullify your argument...I'm ready for a return to the wild

Help - I am repairing a Kenwood TM-621A and the sub band display is not
displaying.  Its acts like the display is draining off somehow because
when you try to change the the memory channels it trys to display a few
digits before it fades off into never never land. But I have hit the wall
because I have done all I can do without a schematic.  If anybody has a
schematic or an idea please let me know.

Thank you,

I am planning to install a 100 watt HF rig in my vehicle. Here are my
plans. Please tell me if what I am going to do is good
theory/engineering practice.
        I am going to run 20 ga wire from the vehicle battery to (3) 17 amp
gell cells in the rear of the vehicle. The 20 ga wire is only to
trickle charge the gell cells when not in use.I will put a diode
somewhere in here to prevent reverse flow to the vehicle battery.
        Where do I put the diode and how big of a diode do I need.I am
planning on 20amps cuurent draw by the transceiver and I will use
10-12 ga silver teflon wire from the gell cells to the transceiver, a
run of 2 feet.
        Is my 20 ga wire going to be enough?
        Thanks in advance

In a hamfest I saw a TH-79E and this radio transmitted 144-146 and
430-440.   The difference was when i got to 145.995 , instead of going
back to 144.000 the radio kept on going up, receiving but would not
transmit (it beeped).   I took the CTCSS cover I found the green wire
cut.   This guy said the ham who sold him the radio did this strange
mod just using the keypad (before the keypad mod the radio was
transmitting  broadband).
I have a Kenwood TH-79E and I would like it to receive only. It is
modified and can transmit.
Can you explain this?  I never heard about this before.

I'll go $55 including shipping.

Hello Tim
I have bought a NIR-12 instead of the 1.8 kc filter. I have tried it first but

no more performance I got. I have installed a 250 hz filter for CW only and th
e
problem is you can't install two filter simultaneous.
I use the NIR-12 for all modes (ssstv, packtor, voice) and especialy for noice

and ignition reduction.

 Hi
I have a midland hand-held, model 70-143b, that i am looking for a
desktop battery charger for. The battery is a 9.6v 600mah, JB7OB16
(JaBRO). It has 2 button contacts on one side and one on the other. The
battery is rotated 1/4 turn to remove it from the radio.

Also,

Does anyone know what the freq range of this radio is? It is currently at
154mz.

thanks...

...To Carry this one 'step' further, before memorizing the 145.00MHz frequency
,
set the repeater offset to 45.00 and repeater shift to -RPT. That way,
if you want to modify the memory for cellular use, then the offset will be
45.00MHz. This may come in handy when scanning the Cell tower freqs and then
using the RV (reverse) function to check the input frequency. (listening
for the handset).
So, you will have Cell scan capability with 15kHz steps, and 45MHz(-) offset.

I have a Yaesu FT101EE HF Xcvr with matching speaker.  It got hit by
lightening, but it was turned off and the antenna was NOT connected.  The
AC connector is charred.  Otherwise, no sign of damage inside.  It will
not turn on when AC is applied.  I have the DC cord, but have not tried it
on DC.  I got a new xcvr and this has been sitting in the closet for over
a year now.  Manual, with schematic and original boxes included.

No reasonable offer refused -- you pay shipping.

I had the same problem with my TS-950.  Turns out that the knob was not
perfectly balanced and would rotate one way or the other depending on
position.  You can tighten this knob by grabbing the inner knurl and
turning the outer knob.  Check your Owners Manual.

Pretty dumb thread. Amps capable of operation in the CB band are illegal =
to sell.
If one does possess one, it's only de facto evidence of illegal =
operation in the
prescence of CB gear or the abscence of a license for a legitamate radio =
service
within the amplifier's capable range.

Amateurs may modify or construct up to one such unit each year. =
Experimental,
broadcast and other services may request and receive a waiver of the =
rules after
submitting need for such a unit.

P.S.

Still loking URGENT for a program to decode ACARS signal from Airplanes
and the schematics to build a decoder for it (it's a 2400 baud signal)

For the last i heard about it, it's possible to decode it with a PK96 if
you have the right program)

Hi all
I am trying to use an old PK88 along with a Kenwood TM241 for Packet
cluster. I cannot get the DCD LED to turn off and so the unit will not go
into transmit. Is there a simple way to lower the audio out from the
TM241? Has anyone experienced this problem?
Please respond to [e-mail]

I have recieved several responses to my info on the Icom 708 and the
Yaesu copycat which should be out in spring 1997. First, I had a strong
denial from an Icom employee.(He wants to keep Icom 706 Sales going
strong). If you guys knew the 708 was coming you would wait for it or
the similar Yaesu model. Last year when I got official "ICOM LETTERHEAD"
with the 706 transmit recieve mods from 200 hz continuous to 200 mhz.
I called Icom USA to confirm them. They BLATENTLY DENIED the existence
of such mods and said the 706 was "UNMODIFIABle". Thousands of people
did these mods as posted in ART SCI MOD BOOK by me "NS1R" and the mods
work!!THey should, there from ICOM!!! Icom did  agreat job with the 706
and I bet you guys will be even more impressed by the 708 available in
spring 1997!!!!

Hi folks!

I am in the process of studying for my Technician No-Code Exams, and plan to
take those on Dec.8th.

To help ease my excitement, I have been looking at various catalogs for an
amateur radio.  I am especially interested in the Yaesu FT-50R-HP.  I like the

dual-band functionality and want the 5watts of power.  I also like the price
range (less than $350).  Of course the more I look at the all the cool toys,
the more excited I get!!!

What would you recommend for a beginning unit that is comparable to the FT-50R
?

Many thanks in advance!!!!

I've been calling Autek Research at both of there numbers 813-97-8455 and
813-886-9515. The first number has been disconnected, and the second
number just rings forever. Can anyone confirm if they have closed their
doors? I really wanted to buy the FR-1. If they are gone, can anyone
recommend something similar to the RF-1?

Thanks,

Hi George, The original Delta model 580 came out about the time WARC
bands were
planned, but not yet legal for hams. It has the 30M crystal and
bandswitch
positions and slots for 17 and 12M crystals. Just added those bands to
the Delta I
got recently for a total of about $35. The Delta seems like a nice
"starter" rig
for CW or SSB ops. I think it could also be used as entry level RTTY
rig. Let me
know if you want to know more.

FT-50R Owners:  Does the FT-50R CTCSS encoder/transmitter have the
'squelch tail elimination or reverse burst' feature that most commercial
rigs have?

If you are not familiar with this feature, the CTCSS encoder shuts
off and/or reverses its phase just prior to the tranmitter unkeying. This
eliminates a noise burst/squelch tail in the receiver that has its CTCSS
decoder enabled.

Thanks,
Phil Mikalofsky, WB9TAE

I have a FT-980 with stock mic, I want to put a desk mic on it. I tried a
MD-1 B-8..I liked the sound it had some bass to it but you had to be right on
top of it to get it to modulate even with the gain up. I also tried a D 104
with and without the amplifier in line...it was tinney and also picked up my
fan with the amp on..does anyone have a suggestion on what would be a (good)
desk mic that you don't have to put in your mouth to make it talk with some
bass qualities ..Or am I expecting to much!

FYI, I have a standard c508.  The stock antenna makes a really good
dummy load.  It's also so narrow that I can't receive the local weather
on
162.55.

The DX-70 is not a bad radio, but the company's policy is not so good. They
just came out with a new DX-70 that had 100 watts on 6meters, BUT, get
this, the DX-70 is not upgradable !!!! They used a different pc board and
all that have a regular, 1st issue, radio are stuck with it. So, if you
bought early, you lost 200.00 because of an almost immediate price slash,
and now you are stuck with something you can not sell unless someone wants
a low power model that is not upgradeable.

So, looks like Alinco does not support it's customers too well !!

Needless to say, I am no longer an Alinco customer...

One BTI LK-2000 amp for sale, uses single 3-1000Z or 4-1000A (your
choice, will work with either...) 3-1000Z inside, spare 4-1000A tube.
This is a floor console amp, looks nice, and works great. Just back
from being serviced by Omega Amplifiers in Knightdale, NC. Has Richard
Measures parasitic mod to protect the amp from parasitics. BNC
connector on input, SO-239 output. Has not been on the air since
getting back. Also has soft fleece-lined cover, original owners
manual, and a "teaser" advertisement sheet from when it was new.
Pick-up only, from my QTH in Myrtle Beach, SC, unless you are willing
to assume responsibility for having a professional packing company
pick it up and pack it properly. Best offer over $1000.00 takes this
PRIZE amp! I now use an amp that has two 3-500Z's so have no need for
it...E-mail for more info to Web, [e-mail]

I'm posting this message for a friend, N4OVP, Dave Kaiser....

One Kenwood TL-922 amp for sale, uses two 3-500Z's to develop full
legal limit. This is not the chinsey U.S. model, rather it was brought
back to the U.S. by someone in the military straight from Japan.
Because of this, it has 10 meters installed at the factory, and
appears to be somewhat heavier built than the TL-922A which is
imported into the U.S. No more than 6 hours on new tubes, he moved
into a "city neighborhood", and can't use it because of TVI to his
neighbors. Covers 160 through 10 (no WARC band switch taps...). Looks
nice inside and out, has been stored in a closet the last couple of
years. First offer over $1200. E-mail to Web, [e-mail] for
more details....

 what software do I need? what hardware do I need ?
 is it possable to get the software off the net somewhere ?
 surely someone out there does something similar with their kenwood .
 any ideas on how to go about the above process would be greatly
 received

Cosmetically BEAUTIFUL Collins 32S-3 transmitter, 75S-3 receiver,
516F-2 power supply/speaker, SM-2 desk mike, and as-new DL-1 dummy
load. Works OK from 40 through 10 meters, but transmitter blows fuses
on 75 during loading. I bought it while going through a second
childhood a few months back for $650. Offers? (Will not sell for less
than I paid for it....) [e-mail]

Perhaps this could be the break we all are looking for.  Is there any
chance that the software used in AEA products was only licensed by the
authors.  If that is the case, maybe the source will be made available
to the ham community and they can do their own service.

I personally am very interested in the RL-1 radio link.  I bought one
of those a couple of years ago and AEA was very unhelpful getting bugs
fixed.

I just inherited a Standard AX700E tuner from my late father. Unfortunately
I don't know where to begin programming it. I would like to listen to the
railroad frequencies from 160.110 Mhz to 161.110 Mhz range. Is it possible
to program this unit to do this??

I agree with Richard's comment.  Running directly from the
vehicle battery should be fine.  I did it in a 1981 Honda
Civic.  The battery was no bigger than today's lawnmower
batteries but seemed to work fine (good old Sears Diehard).
Using CW or SSB mobile, you will seldom draw a full 20 amperes
for more than a second or two.  The alternator should be able
to charge the battery without much problem...just make sure you
run the vehicle from time to time during QSO to keep the
battery charged (automotive batteries dont like the deep discharge).
A halogen set of headlamps or foglamps draws nearly 20 amps
these days...and they certainly are added on without much problem.

If worse comes to worse, go with a slightly larger automotive
battery -- it's much less complex than the system you're thinking
of installing.

Of course, if you want to operate without the car running for long
periods of time, the gel-cell option will work...it's just more
complex and prone to vibration/murphy interaction.

Many radios are type accepted for marine and other use at the same
time. The SGC-2000 is one example for marine HF-SSB, avaition and
amateur. Motorola M200 series was type accepted for business and marine
and could also cover 2M ham. My question to the original post is do you
need one that can TRANSMIT on avaition (AM mode)in addition to marine,
etc? There are some but there kinda expensive! 73, Mike.

I can program then for $20.00 each or $30.00 for both if the programming is id
entical.

The software / hardware from EGE to program these would run you about $500.00

We recently bought a CAT-300DX and so far are satisfied with it. We've
only had it a couple months so can't say much about long-term
satisfaction.

Jay,

It must be a local problem.  It works for me.  Try it a couple of times.
Sometimes the DNS cache needs to be refreshed and a second or third attempt
does the job.  Netscape is a little impatient with DNS.

I have a 242, the new mobile rig and am quite impressed with it.  A fellow
ham in the club here in Savannah had a 212 and traded it in for a new 242.
According to him, the 242 has better adjacent channel rejection specs than
the 212, thus less interference from intermod if you're in a hostile radio
evironment.  With the 242, you get 10 more memory channels; from 30 to 40.
Additionally, with the 212, you could not put an expanded recieve freq
(i.e. National Weather Service) into memory, you had to keep in one of the
VFO's.

Hi,

A friend of mine (Bill, N4VMY) would like to find a source of the
ceramic plug in coils manufactured by E. F. Johnson prior to WW2. The
ones he wants are wound on ceramic forms, rated at 500 watts and are
mounted on a 5 pin plug bar. He has a complete set of the 150 watt ones
(which he calls the grid coils) and wants the 500 watt ones (plate
coils) to complete an AM transmitter. There is a picture of these in the
10th Radio Handbook on page 650 (in the ad section) but there are no
part #'s listed. If anyone has part #'s for these coils, I would
appreciate those too.

After the war in about 1948, Johnson introduced the air wound coils with
the swinging link deal, so the only pictures in the handbooks of these
ceramic ones should be in the pre 1948 or pre war publications.

Thanks,

Chuck, KE9UW

I recently bought an old Heathkit Cheyenne tube transmitter for hams, and
I plan on restoring it. It's missing the mobile power supply, however. I
need a power supply that runs off 12 volts input and puts out 300 volts at
50 milliamps AND 600 volts at 110 milliamps for the 6146 final amp tube.
Must have a 6 pin Jones plug for output, and probably should have pos/neg
alligator clips so it can be hooked directly to a car battery. Mail

Hi Rob:

I too had the misfortune to purchase a Radio Link from AEA.  I did
finally get it working the way it should have from the start.  I have
always felt that AEA might be guilty of marketing items before they were
really ready for market.

In their defense, however, the PK-88 and the PK-232 were superb
products.

I just got a U-16, and since I haven't owned one in over 8 years, I don't
know if I can program it.  The old code that worked on early U-16s does
not put me in program mode.  Was there a later model that was not
keyboard-programmable?  Must the program be dumped (or cloned) into this
radio through the mic jack?  Any help appreciated.

Thanks Rod! I stopped by to visit the "Virtual Collins Radio Museum" and
was really impressed with it. Someone put a lot of work into the
museum!  It would be great to see other equipment lines documented as
well.  For instance, Kenwood.  Wouldn't it be neat to see an add for a
TS-180 for sale used and be able to go get a picture and technical specs
for it?

If it's dumb, might I suggest you simply pass it by?  Joining, in
order to criticise it and to contribute incomplete and inaccurate

  The current code is FUNC 159357.  If that does not work, then you have
to remove the jumper that disables the program mode.  It's two or three
boards into the radio.  It's been a few years sence I last did it myself.
If the jumper is NOT there, then you have one of the odd models and have
to clone the radio with a ICOM OPC-129 cloning cable or send it back to
ICOM for programming.  Hope this helps.

A notch filter would be a better improvement

As soon as the snow disappearts from the scenery here in Montreal, I
bike a lot and of course I like having my Icom IC-W31 with me at all
times.

When on my bike, I also carry a small good quality backpack which has
a good stable harnest system (with waist belt).  So, the radio goes in
the utility pocket on the backpack, rubber duck antenna sticking out
the top.

For speaker and mic arrangement, I use the large HM-54 speaker-mike
which I clip on my pack's left shoulder strap.  It's stable, loud and
I reach all the repeaters I want to use.

I have nothing mounted on my bike as it is a mountain bike and it gets
a really rough ride (I like to offroad a lot!)

I've had the same problem with a PK-88 connected to the packet jack of an IC82
0
which does not mute the audio with the squelch. My PK-96 works correctly in th
at
it does not light DCD unless there is a valid data signal, however the PK-88
lights DCD in the presence of "noise".

This was not a big problem for me since I normally use the PK-96 on this radio
,
however the simple solution to make it work with the PK-88 is to use a cable
from the speaker output to the audio in jack on the PK-88. This provides audio
to the PK-88 only when the squelch opens.

Does this speaker give you adequate noise? My Kenwood TH-77 has little audio
output (it's OK when stationary, but not when moving).

Are these front handlebar backs easily obtainable? They sound useful for all
sorts of things.

Cunning plan (do we pin a tale on it and call it a weasle?). I will have a
look at this in closely (attaching the mic to the helmet was not something I
had thought of).

This is probably due to the goo that they used to mechanically stabilize
the parts in the pll board. The goo (synthetic rubber) is located in a
metal compartment containing VCO#5 on the PLL board. Knwd advises
replacing Q34,Q35,D14, but no one I know did that, they just scraped the
rubber out around the parts and the 440 was fixed. One friend just put a
heating pad under the whole radio and it works fine that way. He is a
Chemist and reasoned that the problem is conductivity caused by
absorbing moisture from the air......I guess he's right!
This is all reported in Kenwood Service Bulletin #973.

The only mod that I am aware of for the IC-27A is one that allows you to
transmit on the " A " VFO and receive on the " B " VFO.  There is no
modification to open the transmitter.

AEA will likely not be doing this.  The owner of AEA still owns the soruce
code. He also still has the option of selling the product lines to other
entitys.  So long as that is still possiable to sell the product line it would
kill a sales possibility by handing out the source code.

I know if I were looking at purchase of a product line and the source code
needed for the product was freely available, then  would not be a viable line
to purchase as any one could assemble clones of the product in his garage.

Might be a good time for a winter project of learning assembler of the
processor used.  Analyise the circuit function and rewrite the code to suit
your radio.  Could make for a good club project.

Serial number 8401on the H16 and 8501 on the U 6 and above had the new logic
board which has the jumper.  Earlier versions had a diode that stands straight
up on the circuit board which you need to cut.  When you do the function 15935
7
you should see

ch:1 or any channel number. The keys the : colon appearing between the CH and
channel number.  If it does not then the jumper must be removed.  The same
programming worked for all H / U 16 radios since they were introduced.  If
there are some channels you can not recover then the radio must be cloned from
a good working radio.  You can only clone H 16 to H 16 and U 16 to U 16.

compared to 600) and has no memory. And the cost is just $3.00 more. I

Good day to all.

I'm in the process of restoring a very clean Johnson Invader 2000
transmitter.  This radio is very very nice and so far has not taken much
in the way of restoring.

However, I have not powered up the amp or the amp power supply.  The
exciter came up and worked with only some minor adjustments.  i. e.
freq, adjusting the exciter gears and replace about half the tubes.  I
can only hope the amp. will come to life with as little trouble.

My question, to those that have or do use this transmitter is:

1. Any thing I need to be on the allert for before I power up the amp.
high voltage section.

2. Any sprecial tune up procedures, (the exciter came up to 125 watts or
show with no problems at all.

3. I will be running the trans. on 120 v. ac. I have a good power source
which can supply 20 amps.  The book recommends 220 but, I would rather
use 120 if it doesn't cause any problems.

4. What do you recoment for an ant. switch?  I know the old knife switch
is the most positive however, I would like to use some kind of relay
setup.  I will eventually use trans. and rec. antennas but for now I
must use the same ant.

5. Any other things to look for or things not to do or things to do
before putting my new toy on the air.

Thanks for your time and help.

I'm looking for a drop-in charger for a Midland 70-143B handheld. Does
anyone have one that they might want to sell at reasonabe cost? Also,
does anyone know what the freq range of this handheld is? currently it is
at 154mz. It is a 4 channel, xtal radio. Battery has 2 button contacts on
one side and 1 on the other and is 9.6v 600mah.

Hi Doug  VA3DMB

Bill  N5WO on this end

I'm fairly sure what you have is 75 ohm cable TV coax.  It is used to
make the main cable runs fo a CATV system and works very nicely on the
VHF and lower ham bands.  In fact the stuff you have with the plastic
jacket is the best.

We have used the stuff for years on VHF repeaters both rec. and trans.
If you want to get technical there is a mis-match 50 ohm as compaired to
75 ohm but, it generaly won't cause any great problems below UHF.  And,
I might even use it at UHF freq. if the run was fairly short, say less
than 150 ft., and the other choice was one of the RG-8's out there.  If
you were choosing between say  Belden 9913 or LMR-400 I would choose the
last.

As for the connectors there are commercial ones out there but, they are
not for the faint at heart.  The will cost you big bucks.  Likely over
25.00 per connector. We have used, with good luck, a standard PL-259
connector on this cable with pretty good luck.  Just remove enough of
the jacket to expose the center cunductor to a length that will go out
the end of the PL-259, you can solder the center conductor it should be
copper or atlest copper clad.  Now the shield is a little tricky.  You
need to remove the dielectric between the alum. shield and the center
conductor.  Clean it out for about 1/2 inch or 5/8's at most.  Now
remove the black plastic cover, about 1 inch should be fine.  Take a
hack saw and make several cuts in the alum. shield so it can be clamped
down on the end of the PL-259.  The cuts are to be made with the
parallel to the cable longwise.  Now come the tough part.  You need to
install the PL-259 (complete) on the cable so the center conductor
extends out the end of the connector and so the shield comes up on the
shoulder of the other end of the connector.  However, be carfull not to
bind up the workings of the threaded sleeve on the connector.  Take a
hose clamp, on of the screw clamp types, and cause the alum. shield to
compress down on the sholder of the connector.  Anyway it all works and
it's a cheap way to make a connector for this stuff.  This type of
connector workes beter on the 1/2 inch verson of the same cable.

Well, this is possibly much more than you wanted to know if so throw the
un-used part in the bit-bucket.....hi hi.

Check with you CATV venndor in the area, best to find the guys that take
care of the lines they should be able to help you with this cable.  As
for what it's worth, sorry to say possibly not much if it has found its
way to the surpluse market.  However, if you need to put up a VHF
repeater and need some hard line you may have a small gold mine.

Hope this helps

BTW be nice to the cable guys they might just give you a couple of ends
for your cable.....never hurts to ask.

Hi,

     I am looking for a Pearce Simpson Model A18 (Super Panther) CB radio.
This or any SSB CB using the Cybernet Circuit Board will suffice.  This
will be used as an experiment in conversion to 6 meters, so I don't want to
get too heavy into it.  If you have one of these in working condition, or
working/needing finals, I would be interested in neogatiating a sale/trade.
 Looking for units having a digital display (preferred) but would be
interested in discussing others; as long as they are based on the Cybernet
board and have SSB.

Thanks,

Have IMMEDIATE need for 2 Icom IC-02AT 2 meter handheld transceivers.

Prefer clean, working, modified units in good condition. Will consider
units without batteries or chargers but must be clean and working
well. Preferred mods include extended frequency operation and improved
receive audio.

These units will be used for Civil Air Patrol work as well as Amateur
Radio operations.

Hi, I received two messages from my ICOM 708 announcement that Kenwood
has a new contender for the Spring 1997 market. The gentlemen says it
will be like a icom 706 with 440 added. I have no other info at this
time. I am not sure as to the reliability of these sources. However,
I am sure that the Icom 708 and its counterpart the Yaesu version will
be available in spring 1997, It woud be great if all three companies
did this. More competition and lower prices for the HAM OPERATERS!!

The unit however is not capable of doing this even if the manual says so.

I am looking for any information regarding the TS-690S transceiver.
In particular, any fix for getting full TX coverage between 30 and 49MHz.
And for getting full TX power back after removing diode D21.
 I need this information mainly for building a transverter, and for regaining
full tx power for operation on the lower bands.
 I would also appreciate any information at all about this model
from other users familiar with it, problems and fixes-mods.

is anyone using an audio compressor, limiter, or other unit designed to
mitigate audio level fluctuation?

check out this device http://www.missionrec.com/welcome.html and tell me
wether you reckon it could be used to combat fade due to propogation...
'cause I'd like to provide my digital signal processor (JPS NIR-12) with a
more consistent audio level to process, when dxing.

I own an ANC-4 and reckon it's great.  I've really souped its performance
up by using a longwire antenna through a MIZUHO AT-2000 antenna tuner AS
THE NOISE PROBE.  This has given me the ability to tune into the specific
interference with amazing accurcy and then eliminate it.  This method has
even allowed me to reduce skywave interference.  My primary recieve dipole
is still doing it's thing, but my reciever is breathing much easier.

Incidentally, I also own a JPS NIR-12 DSP noise and interference reducer
and, I must admit, it does things the ANC-4 could never do.  However, the
ANC-4 does what it does, very well indeed.  If it's a question of which one
to buy... go for the NIR-12 if you can, 'cause it provides results that
simulate the performance of the ANC-4, plus adding a few rippers of it's
own.

I have a CB radio antenna. I heard they do not convert well because they
have a coil in them already.  If I could remove that coil and put in an
antenna tuner (or transmatch (what's the difference?))   would it be a very
good antenna?  I would use it on my car (magnetic mount).


Please EMAIL replies.

The Shure 444D desk microphone works very well with the FT-980. Its rising
frequency response between 1kHz and 3kHz makes it ideal for DX work, and
it still sounds "natural" enough for local contacts. It also provides
quite a high output level which makes driving the 980's speech processor
much easier.

While I don't have the 980 any longer, I kept the 444D as it works so well
with my voice and Yaesu HF rigs.

What kind of antenna is it?
I have used a K40 mag mount on 10 meters and it works GREAT!! - just
shorten the whip 'till you get a good match and it should be fine.

It's an excellent rig.  It's easier to use and more versatile than its
predecessor, the IC-02AT, and it takes the same batteries and accessories.
I think it takes less current on receive than the 02AT.

The out-of-band mod consists of soldering-in one diode; very easy.

Hello and tnx for reading my message. Does anyone have any experience
using the Timewave 599ZX RTTY Remodulator feature? Does it work well, is
it wortht the time to fabricate cables for this? I am using the AEA
DSP2232 as a TNC and wonder if I would notice a difference at all. Thank
you!

I had the receive function fail on this shortly after begining to
use it...I should also point out that although R/S says the Receive
Pre-amp makes up for insertion losses...it does not.  R/S now wants
$4.50 for the Service Manual, plus $3 shipping.  ( I see no point to
giving it back to them for repair).

I have used CB antennas for 10M for years.. the base loaded type while are a b
it narrow-banded work fine and
the 102" whip after some trimming works GREAT on 10.  On some of the loaded ty
pe antennas, minor mods to the
coil can result in a good 6M 1/4 wave and I have seen some modded to operate a
t 5/8 2M.

I wouldn't try and get one to work below 24Mhz though..

My XYL bought a pair of touch lamps last week, and they generate an S8
noise level, even when they are turned off.  They turn off and on when
I transmit.

Has anyone had any luck eliminating these problems.

Thanks for any help.

I have a 1.2G module for the FT736R for sale for $450 and I pay the UPS.
Have sold the radio and the new owner didn't want 1.2g.

The Vertex UHF is still pretty rare.  Our city RACES group in Orange County
has one that we installed three weeks ago.  It has a very hot receiver.  So
far we are very happy with it.  The only negative so far has been that the
designers made a small mistake with the output PL level.  A small mod must
be made to the board in order to vary the output PL more than a very tiny
amount.  The VHF version of this repeater does not share this problem.  And
the mod is very simple, but disables the digital schelch (not typically used
by HAMS).

You're a lot better off using 220 for the HV.  Although it makes the
Invader 2000
less than original, you should add a 3-wire 110 plug to the exciter, and
use 220 for the HV.  Put a GFCI in the 110 line you use for safety's
sake --
the Invader 2000 was built before they'd invented 3-line 110V power in
the home.

Unless you're a totally die-hard fire-bottle enthusiast, you need to use
solid-state replacements for the HV mercury rectifiers.  If you keep the
mercury rectifiers (yes, they ARE beautiful with the lights turned out),
you
need to put the HV supply on a variac and bring the voltage up slowly,
to
re-form the rectifiers.  If you don't, you will find out how much a
plate
transformer costs.  The pre-1960 ARRL handbooks and some old tube
manuals
discuss how to use new mercury rectifiers.  Follow that procedure.

Oh, and check out rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors.  They got a whole
newsgroup for people like you!

Hello Al,

I guess you were asking about performance of the radio:

I've been using my Alinco DX70 for about 1 1/2 years now.  I bought one
of the first models for-sale when I was living in Tokyo.  Performance
remains excellent -- no real complaints.  As a comparison, I purchased
the Icom IC-706.  While the 706 also covers 2 meters, and 100 watts on
six meters, the DX70 works much better on HF (especially HF CW and
SSB...
I dont work digital modes).

It lacks a VSWR meter and an internal CW keyer, otherwise a fine rig.

I have a problem with my FT-51 that I cannot currently figure out --

A couple of nights ago, I left my FT-51 scanning on battery, and I fell
asleep.  When I woke up, the battery was dead (obviously),  and when I
hooked it up to some power, I had lost all of my memories.  (The CPU
seemed to have reset)

When I tried to enter some of my repeaters again, I noticed that the Tx
range of my HT had actually been reduced to 144-146 MHz, and 430-440MHz.
I have tried resetting the CPU a few times, and I have tried various
features on and off (such as extended Rx), but nothing seems to work.

Can anyone out here please help me???

I would appreciate it!

Your potential buyers might be interested my FT101 also got hit by lightning
induced side currents and I could fix it just by replacing an input RF transis
tor
(antenna was connected) AND switching wires around in this big power plug.
One of the input 220v AC wires had 0 ohms to ground: this was the neutral side
,
and the set just turned itself on (with switch off) with just lots of QRM from

the speaker... Made this wire the ground one, and 9X5PT was back on the air...

But this strike was on an eucalyptus tree 100 feet away, not on the quad or
the tower, so I guess I was lucky.

Hi,

I'm looking for a 12V 20amp switcher and a 12v 20+ AH gell cell. I would
like suplus since both of these puppies are real expensive. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I just received a 2gxat that did have out of band receive capabilities.
However I did a master reset to clear all memories and lost this ability.
I would like to restore the out of band receive.

Does anybody know how? I have searced the web for mods but was unable
to find anything. Thanks and 73,.........Jerry kb2spg

They usually convert well, by just shortening the whip section, you can
convert one to 10 meters with no problem.

I am interested in your Drake gear.  Could you please
be a little more specific with the description of the
equipment?  For instance, the TR-4 transceiver is not
normally used with an R-4C  receiver. The T-4XC Transmitter is
the usual "other half".  Do you have the TR-4 or
or it a T-4XC ??  Also which antenna tuner do you have ?
Finally, what is your asking price ?

Thanks,

(specifically chartered for the buying, selling, and
trading of Ham Gear) and rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors
for gear 15 years and older as well as all tube-type

rec.radio.amateur.equipment, you will see that there
are a lot of for-sale type listings so apparently no one

Cliff,

        Thanks again for the info. I looked inside the radio, and found a
suitcase jumper located just behind the keyboard/CPU board.  Removing the
suitcase jumper and placing it on only one pin, the programming
capability was restored.  I'm back in business.

I have the IC-2GA, a version sold in the far-east that I bought in
Singapore some years ago.
I am very satisfied with it. Is is built very rugged, easy to operate,
simple controls and so on.
The radio is also used by many professional services around the world I
have noticed, probably due to its rugged design and its extended range 130
- 173 MHz
I also like the case design much more than today's HTs, modern HTs look
like silly toys.

My advice: Buy it.

Hello!  I have a VHF model GE Master II that I am currently using for
1200 baud packet.  I am interested in using it with my KPC-9612, and
using both the 1200 and 9600 on the same radio.  Does someone have a mod
to make it so that the 9600 will work on the same radio as the 1200?  Or
does someone at least have a mod that will make the 9600 work?  Right
now it is not deviating good enough, although it seems to receive ok.

Please CC any replies to my email address, [e-mail]

Thanks and 73 - Matt

I wonder if the family isn't in cahoots on this - Grandparents file
bankruptcy, Homeowner's insurance pays,  Everyone profits.
Get a few crapola TV show appearances & a book.
Grandparents now live high on the hog in retirement.
Children inherit estate.

So they say, well, let's at least get something positive out of
the bad situation, eh?

Probably how a lawyer's mind works.

Yep, over the years I've bought a couple of used rigs from them, and
only once took them up on their return policy when the radio didn't
meet my expectations (and that's something I don't consider as their
fault).  By all means, invest in some time talking with them to make
sure you're getting what you want.

If I had to guess, based on no other information, I would guess that this is
a scheme to get around the inheritance tax, which will tax a bequest from
the grandparents to the kids or grandkids, at a confiscatory rate of 45% if th
ey
have a sizeable estate.

On the other hand, tort damages for physical injury are generally excluded fro
m
taxes.  Therefore, the unfortunate injury to the daughter may be a vehicle for
all concerned to avoid the inheritance tax.  (Or it may not be; I'm only
guessing).

Sounds like a clever scheme, by a clever lawyer.  The kind of lawyer people
pay good money for.

Usually you can clip a diode on the circuit board next to the microprocessor
to make the unit do what you want. The newsgroup "rec.radio.scanners"
may be of help. If not---email me and I will send you to a place that sells
solder and some good videos on electronics. ((Just kidding)

My understanding is they have not yet received FCC approval for sale
here in the U.S. .... So finding owners may be tough for a little while
still.

WOW!! Mike, it's a pleasure seeing you still have a
727 Dual  Band HT!!  We must admit that this  rig had the best
audio of all HT's. Jesus!! These things as LOUD!!!!!! provided they
 were never touched inside.  Common problem was-the knobs fell off.
Cure--Take the knob off, then take a small piece of tinfoil, then cover the sh
aft
(the factory precuts the tinfoil real small) to just cover the shaft.  The kno
b
won't ever knock off once you press it on. (If servicing is necessary,
the knob may be removed without damage)

I've owned one of these rigs since February 1996.  I wish I had waited a
few more months because the price certainly did drop at the two stores in
my area that carry it.  That and the fact that they've
introduced a newer DX-70TH with no upgrade path for their first and loyal
customers kind of rubs me the wrong way.  Otherwise I have no complaints
with the radio or the company.

The receiver is great!  Its sensitive and works great on HF.  I operate all
bands 160 - 6 meters and have received excellent audio reports.  For a ham
on a budget who wants performance but not all of the bells and whistles
that come with a top of the line rig from another manufacturer, this is a
great radio.

I don't have one of these amps.

Do they use PIN diodes, or do they use a relay for T/R switching? It _sounds_
like some of the output is getting into the receive preamp. Perhaps it is a
poorly desgined PIN diode switch. A relay should have enough delay to prevent
this sort of problem.

Just a thought, your mileage may vary

Hello,
   I a looking to buy a Simplex Autopatch... I would like to get the CES
or a CSI brand because I used to own one of each of these.  Anyways, if
anyone is selling theirs or is thinking about maybe departing from it.
Email me back about it and let me know price and details.

                   Thanks for your time...   Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey!! Thanks for the idea!! I have just the reverse problem. I have a
Radio Shack lamp-intensity control (3 steps) that goes beserk on 40m!
When I'm on CW, the lights in the family room go from off to dim, med,
bright, off, dim, med.....etc... Same on 40m SSB. It's a touch-control
affair: touch any part of the lamp and it changes brilliance. I've
tried power-line filters, etc. No joy.

NOW, after reading the above post, I know how to fix it!!

Hello fellow biking hams!

As a contribution to the bike-mobile discussion here is my setup:

Biking dayly fo and from QRL (30 min. ride through the heart of
Amsterdam) i use my Albrecht RL102 2meter transceiver with a homebrew 1/4
wave antenna (of 1 mm springwire in a BNC plug) directly on top.
With this antenna setup i can work most 2m repeaters of in a radius of
approximately 30 miles, buildings and conditions permitting.

The transceiver goes into my left front/breast pocket of my jeans jacket,
secured by the clip. The only drawback is that i cannot see the display
that way.

The speaker/mic arrangement i use is a cheap PC multimedia headset with
changed plugs and a ptt switch built into the mic cord. A small surplus
pushbutton (as used in many discarded VCRs) is easily mounted directly in
the cord and finished with 2-component resin or glue.

A spare battery pack (i have approx. 2 1/2 hours of use with one pack)
goes anywhere convenient, but quickly reachable (utility pocket of
backpack, or coatpocket).

You DO get a few strange looks when you ride along wearing a headset with
the antenna sticking out of your pocket and talking to an invisible
person. When stopped for crossroads, people may even stare at you as if
you were from a different planet, but what the heck.

Have fun and keep in mind that the traffic CAN kill you.....

73 de PE1RHX, Leo.

P.S. Anybody really knows about that transceiver of mine? Seems to be
sold under various names, including REXON. Wanna know about the little
solderlinks inside: which does what?

All my dealings with AES have been quite satisfactory including

Hope this is helpful.

  I'm looking for the mods for a Kenwood TH-22AT. I've got one of
  these fine radios from the US and am using it in Europe. So I'd
  like ot teach him the 1750Hz tone for opening relais. I know the
  unit can do it in the european configuration. There are already
  mods done to it which allow out of band receive and send.

  I've been searching various ftp archives and search engines, but
  somehow I cannot find any information about this radio. It looks
  like all radios are covered, but mine :-(.

  Any hints are welcome !

Kory,
I don't know if this will help you out, but Astron now sells two different swi
tcher
supplies. One is a 20A model, and the other a higher current rating. They are
$129.95, and $149.95, at Amateur Electronic Supply.

Wow, I had this happen too.  They said a mosfet went south.  After I got it
back, the receive worked well for another 6 months or so but now the
receive is weak again...not as bad as before but when I turn the amp on, I
loose a S-meter unit.

The amp works fine but I don't think the receive section is made too well.
I'm using a HTX-202 as power input but I've been careful to limit the
HTX-202 output to 5 watts (not 8 or 9 watts).

The problem is that the Mastr II (note no 'e') is a phase modulated
radio, not FM. Thus it can't do the G3RUH/K9NG modulation correctly.
The slickest fix I've seen requires you to replace the transmit Icom
in the radio with a Motorola Micor channel element and FM modulate
that.

The GE Icom just contains a crystal and a temperature compensation
network. The Motorola channel element is a complete oscillator, with
a varactor modulator. Thus it does true FM. You have to rewire the
Icom socket to accept the Moto element. The former GE oscillator
circuit now becomes a buffer stage. You can still feed 1200 baud
to the GE PM modulator, but now you can also feed 9600 baud modulation
directly to the Moto channel element and all is lovely.

For Sale:

Sunair GSL-1900A Kilowatt Linear Power Amplifier. Consists of the
LPA-1900A RF
PA and the PS-1900A power supply unit. This set easlily delivers full
rated
power on all bands. Asking price: $2000.00. I prefer pickup from my QTH
in
Sacramento, CA. If I have to ship it, you pay shipping from zip 95826.
The rf
deck will be about 90 lbs packed for shipping and the power supply will
be
about 150 lbs packed for shipping. (since UPS has a max weight of 150
lbs,
I may have to remove the choke from the power supply and ship
separately)

For those not already familiar with this unit, some specs from the
manual are
listed below.

    Covers 1.6 to 30Mhz (continuous) in 8 bands.
    Conservatively rated at 1Kw PEP for SSB,
        1 Kw for CW, and 1Kw average for AM.
        (the book says 300 to 400 for AM carrier only, then
        limit the total power with modulation to 1Kw).
    Requires 40 watts PEP input to drive to full output.
    Automatic tuning (plate and load). Tuning time 3 seconds, nominal.
    Uses 4CX1500B, Pi-L output network, and 50 ohm passive input
        (no tuning needed for input).
    Very low distortion.
        Intermodulation distortion: better than -30 db
        Harmonic distortion: better than -55db
    Power supply strappable for 120 or 240v operation 50-60 hz.
        and power consumption is approx 3Kw. (240v operation is
        highly recommended and is current strapped for it).

A copy of the Operation and Maintenance Manual will be included. The
interconnect cables between the rf deck and power supply were not
available at a reasonable cost (Sunair wanted $1200 for just the cable
with connectors) so I made an easily restorable modification. The units
are in good condition cosmetically and fully operational.
Also, I have contructed an interface unit that works with my Yaesu
FT-747 for
operating the amplifier. It provides the remote power control, band
selection,
and tune functions that would normally be provided a Sunair exciter.
This is
included with the purchase of the amplifier. The interface unit can be
easily
adapted to work with almost any tranceiver.

Please respond via E-mail to the below address.

For Sale:

4CX1500B/8660 and air system socket, $300 plus shipping
from zip 95826.

I have three of these sets.

They are pulls and have been tested in an operational
Sunair 1 Kw amplifier. Full power out, 160m thru 10m
into dummy load.

The sockets do not have any markings on them, but
after comparing them to the Eimac catalog, they appear
to be SK-800B sockets with 1500pf screen bypass capacitor.

Please respond via E-mail at the below address.

Thanks.

Well folks...I am still looking for a FT 736R!

If you have a late model, please leave the following information:
        - Are you the original owner?
        - Serial number and when purchased?
        - Has it ever been repaired/ by whom?
        - What options are in the radio?
        - On a scale of 1 (lousy rig) to 10 (still in sealed box), how do
you rate your rig.
        - What is your asking price? I know the "going rate" for these
rigs, so let's not waste each others time with silly negotiations! I am a
willing buyer.
        - Do you have original box/manual/cords/mike/plugs?

Hope everyone has a great holiday season....

Lou

As others have said great rig. Actually has a tracking front end. When I
swept the receiver maintained about -119 dbm from abt 140-167 if I recall.
Very rugged radio. Used it in Search and Rescue for a number of years.
Dropped more than once climbing in and out of helicopters. Also seemed to
hold up well against moisture. Was also a very good high power 6-7 watt Tx
rig. Given its size it was able to sink the heat better than some of the
smaller "newer rigs". I'm sorry I don't have mine any longer.

I tried to order a replacement microphone on an ALINCO DR_570T radio.
ALINCO REFUSED to sell it to me direct even though it is an older model.
They said to call an authorized dealer. First I tried Ham Radio Outlet
in New Hampshire. They didn't want to take the time to look up the part
# and order it. Then I tried Amatuer Electronic Supply in Milwaukee. I
put in the order with my credit card # to the salesperson 3 weeks ago.
I called today to see wy it is taking so long. The order was never put
in!!! I was told I now have to send a check or cash in advance for this
mic. I never received a call from them 3 weeks ago saying that they
counldn't use my credit card. I will not purchase any ALINCO PRODUCTS
at all and will not patronize HAM RADIO OUTLET or AMATUER ELECTRONIC
SUPPLY!!!!

Hi

I have a c228a HT and have had the dual band mobile. Standard is a
company that started in commercial and moved to amateur and the radios
show it on the inside and they are bullet proof to intermod.

Just my $.02 worth.

You know what. Federal law is irrelevant. It does not exist outside
the Federation. That is, in 90% of the world, the FCC have no power.
Why do the USA amateurs always assume they are the only ones on the

Does anyone have mods other than the ones from G4OXY.  Those do not

This has been suggested before but.....put a switch inline with the lamp.
When you're on the radio, turn the lamp off.  When you're not on the radio,
switch it back on.

I bought a new antenna from them... It was missing half the parts.  I
called and spoke with them, they basically said too bad, it's not our
problem... call the manufacturer!.  I asked them if they'd just exchange
it for another of the same and send it back to Larsen themselves and
they said no... told me all sales were final!  This was about a month
ago.  Called larsen and they asked if I returned it to the dealer for
exchange, When I told them what happenned, they asked who the dealer
was, as their policy is the dealer should have handled it for them...
They sent me the parts overnight, saturday delivery at no charge, and
were going to recomend to their marketing department that A.E.S. no
longer be a distributor of their products.

Later,
Dave

I remember from the late 1970's and earily 1980's a receiver mod for the
Kenwood TS520 and R599 receivers (W6TOG?).  It replaced the FETs in the
preamp, mixer and first LO with MOSFET to lower the front-end receiver
noise.  Does anyone remember this mod and have a copy of what was needed
to be done?  Many Thanks and 73's in advance.  D.Pat Breeden  WB3KUM/9

I'm curious about something.  Why would you expect an upgrade path on a piece
of hardware?  This normally isn't possible.  When you buy a car do you expect
to upgrade as the next year's model is introduced?

Hey Guys,

Why is this thread propigated to 29 different news groups?  That is a horrible

waste of spectrum.


Please Please dump all of the news groups from your replies except one.
alt.ham-radio.digital-voice seems like the right place to me.

Please let this message be the last one to all 29 news groups.

For Sale
I have a 101-EE in very good condition with the Shure 444 desk mic and the
Yaesu desk speaker.  The only reason I am selling the rig is I can no longer
change bands or tune the radio due a phicial disability.  Once on for an hour,

the receive is rock solid on freq.  Both finials replaced 14 months ago.

Must get $350.00 for the radio and accessories. No barganning, Sorry.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine gave me a Tek P6021 Current Probe.

It appears to be in OK condx, but I need either a Passive Termination box
or a Model 134 Current Probe Amp to be able to use it.  I'm not in the service
business, so I really can't justify the cost of a new amp or term box.  If I c
an't
find one <cheap>, I'll probably just end up pitching the probe.

I don't need (or want to pay for) anything in <new> condx.  I have the manual
for the probe, which includes the schematic for the term box, but I don't have
any info at all on the 134 probe amp.

Does anyone out there have either of these units they would be willing to part
with for a reasonable priice?  If the price is right, I'd be glad to pay for t
he
shipping.

I can pretty much believe that. After reading those it makes me wish

Even though you didn't post this, I missed the original response so here
goes:

The reason it's funny is because by and large most lawyers are lower

If there are five of you looking for one radio apiece...is that really

Why so they have such a poor policy of having to order a replacement
microphone from a dealer when Alinco knows the DR-570T has been out of
productio for over 5 years. NO DEALERS have the mics! NO DEALERS
want to take the time to special order it for me. When one did (AES),
they took the order with my credit card # etc. but never put the order
through! Then 3 weeks later I tried to find out what happened and now
they want money up front after screwing up the first order! Ham Radio
Outlet in New Hampshire didn't want to bother with looking up the part #
for the Dr-570T radio. I won't bother to call them for my order of the
Icom 756 in two months.
   I can see if Alinco makes me go through A dealer if the Model is a
recent model and the Dealer has the microphones in stock. I feel like
I am getting the run around!!

Hello there.
This 'Scope's sweep stopped functioning (well the trace dosen't go
from side to side). All other functions ie voltage measurements etc
seem to be working.
I have the manual and can forllow it but fixing 'scopes is a bit out
of my league.
I also have an audio generator,d.m.m. and a borrowed portable 'scope.

I was wondering if anyone can help me get the thing working again,
maybe someone has come across the fault before.

If not thanks for reading this anyway.

I missed the original post - I have a 92 Saturn SL2, and quite a bit of
noise from the fuel pump around 10 meters (must drive the CBers crazy).  I
don't use HF there much, but hope to next year, so I'll be digging into
solving that problem.

I'll be watching this thread for more suggestions.  A shunt capacitor might
do it, but the pump is inside the gas tank on my model, so I'll just be
able to get close.
