It would be irrelevant outside the US. But that does not make the
statement untrue. If were against US federal law to posess such an amp
- then - it's a vilaotion of federal law. It just wouldn't be of
concern to someone outside the FCC'c jurisdiction. He said "federal
law" - so YOU know who it applies to.
If he said it was a violation of international or intergalactic law the
you could complain about his accuaracy.
FWIW - Its not illegal to posess such an amp in the US.

Well, I don't know what the laws are in YOUR country Tony, but
I'll quote you our Part 97:
"
97.315
(a) No more than 1 unit of 1 model of an external RF power amplifier =
capable of
operation below 144 MHz may be constructed or modified during any =
calendar year by
an amateur operator for use at a station without a grant of type =
acceptance. No amplifier
capable of operation below 144 MHz may be constructed or modified by a =
non-amateur
operator without a grant of type acceptance from the FCC.
"
What part is incomplete and inaccurate?
The courts would have a hard time convicting a ham of posession of a =
"CB" amplifier,
unless the operation was NOT within band and power regulations of =
his/her license.
Conversely, possession of said amp without gear capable of exciting it =
on a band where
the licensee or operator has no such priviledge cannout be found to be =
de facto evidence
of illegal use.
Manufacture or capability does define culpability. There are plenty of =
RF devices which
are type accepted, yet have no "transmitting" purpose. A good example is =
a RF plasma
exciter for semiconductor production or a RF based heating or drying =
system such
as those found in wood mills around the world.
Oh yes. And since when is educating those with bad information =
criticizing? The
information is in the public domain. Ignorance of the information's =
existence is
no excuse.
What part is incomplete or inaccurate?

What a bunch of shit. CB is limited to four watts period. Anyone that
thinks that this 500+ amp isnt going to be used there is a bigger fool
than I am for replying to this garbage anyway. No one owes anybody an
appology. And as far as twenty meters goes, we all will be lucky to have
any spectrum left in ten years. With all the immature crap that goes on
there,on 75 and most recently 2 meters, why not just action it all off?
Just my
oppinion...73 W8PU

Hi,
I am having a problem with a rfc 2-23 amp that i
would welcome some input on.
I am using it with a kenwood th-22at and a mfj 2 meter
hansheld SWR meter and a ringo ranger 2m antenna.
The SWR at full power between the ht and the antenna
is about 1.5. When the amp is hooked up to
the radio the swr is slightly higher but still below
2. But when I turn the amp on the reading goes off scale.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me want is going
on here and if this is a valid reading and how to correct it.
Thanks

currently on the market, new and used. ( I hope to compile this list on a www
page later.)
If you have some time, please send any brands as well as model numbers that
you might know.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for gear for use
in the ham band covering 2300 to 2450 Mhz, rcvr, tx, antenna.
I would like to explore that band, but have not seen much info
about it. The only thing I saw was a post about the loss of some
segments.
Thanks for any help.

There will probably a lot of 2.4 GHz stuff once Phase 3D
is operational--but I think a lot of manufacturers are
waiting to make sure they won't lose their shirts making
stuff now.
For building your own, the Dec 92 QST has a transverter design
by Jim Davey that was updated by Steve Kostro in the 96 Microwave
Update (new MMICs). This Microwave Update includes a nice series
by Paul Wade on how to properly feed dish antennas.

Can anyone recommend an antenna tuner/matching network for 144MHz which
can run 1kw CW? Thanks.

Hello Michael,
On two meters generally tuners are not used. Instead the antenna
itself is designed so that it will present a defined impedance.
This makes sense for the simple reason that the antenna is mounted
high enough anyway to minimize effects of the surroundings on its
impedance. Especially if you want to run real power, good matching,
symmetry and decoupling from the surrounding is essential.
Good matching devices are e.g. 1/2 wave coax baluns (200 Ohms symmetric to
50 Ohms asymetric) sections of 75 Ohms line (100 Ohms to 50 Ohmy
asymetric).
If you mention the antenna you have in mind, it is possible to be more
specific.
73, Moritz DL5UH

Rob and Eric, I bought an Icom IC-560 for around $250 last year; it was
advertised on Packet. It's all-mode (less AM), puts out a useable 10
watts, and works well, although I wish it did not have a "volatile" memory
& VFO. During the peak of E-season I worked several states with it, using
a 6 meter Ringo Ranger slightly retuned for the lower end of the band.
I suggest trying either Packet or local swap nets, as the prices seem to
be lower on VHF all-mode gear.

To make a rptr out of a GE MSTR EXEC II, you MUST do the following:
Add a jumper across the RX OSC Switch xstr....this will allow the RX L.O.
to be powered all the time...(it IS switched off during PTT)...
Also a Diode (CR501 ?? I THINK!) on the Systems Audio Squelch (SAS) board
must be removed to stop the PTT from activating the rx Mute ckt....Follow
the PTT line on the schematic and remove the diode that feeds the RX MUTE
xstr....Just clip it off the board...if you have the MSTR EXEC II
manual, the mods for duplex operation are shown on the schematic!
With those two mods (and a second antenna connector on the front for the
RX input (leave the antenna relay, etc for the TX), you're in business.
Ive have several GEs running like that...the mods take less than an
hourfrom start to finish...add a controller and wiring to the plug and
you're all set.

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with AES. I have bought some used,
mostly new from them and others over the years. They are above reproach;
this cannot be said for several other multi-store chains or individual
dealers.
When they say a rig is in "X" condition, it is. Of course, you have
the option of returning it, losing only shipping.
Sometimes their prices are a bit higher. Then I decide whether to buy
elsewhere or go with AES. I will go with them regardless, if the amount
is not too great.
Hope this helps. BTW, service is good at Milwaukee and Wycliffe.

The stuff is good but the prices for their used equipment is very high.
Go to a hamfest and save money.

Of course you may end up spending more money at a hamfest because the
equipment may not be as advertised and your ability to return it may
be...uhh...compromised. :)
In return for AES's higher prices you get equipment that has been checked
out on their bench, fairly represented and a 30-day return policy if you're
really unhappy. All this from a company with a decent reputation that they
would like to retain.
Yes, their prices are higher than the usual backlot hamfest, but they do
add value to the equipment.

I have. The equipment arrived promptly (ordered on Monday, received on
Wednesday!), was clean, worked well, and had a warranty. They have
listings posted on their web pages of what is in stock and seem to
keep it updated. Recommended!

I had posted last week about a problem with A.E.S. and a larsen antenna.
Larsen did take care of me, and evidently, A.E.S. was just having a bad
day.
I received a personal call today from Ernie at the Orlando store I
ordered my antenna from, checking to make sure I had been taken care
of.
I call that customer service!
Thanks,
Dave

I asked the original question, Dick. I tend to go along with your
idea. I think a somewhat higher price is worth it to have a piece of
gear that has been checked out. The 30 day return policy is nice too.
I know a few people who have been badly burned trying to "save money"
at hamfests. Unfortunately, honor and integrity have gone out the
window these days. You can't always trust your fellow Ham. Sad but
true.

You may also want to try the Ham Station in Evansville, IN. It's one
of the larger individual retail ham operations in the U.S. They
advertise in QST and the others. They have an 800# and a Web site (check
the ad).
These guys are extremely honest and often have LOTS of used gear, at
least as much as any indiv. AES store. Their prices are fair and they
are good on returns and repairs. I would go to them first for just about
any purchase.

I wonder is MFJ is finally cheapening the product. I used to love
Vectronics stuff, but I am very hesitant to buy anything from them since
it is built out of the same factory as MFJ.

I've always had good luck with AES, too. In fact I ordered a dual
band TM-733A from the Ohio store today. Great deal. $399 with duplexer.
I'd suggest you write the ARRL with copies to AES and Mirage. I did that
once with a major Heathkit problem and got a personal call from Heath's
president offering to refund my money, something they were not known
to do.

Me too. I would go ahead and write the president of AES and let him
know the problem. Also that you posted the whole affair on the
Internet. In the meanwhile, you may want to consider HRO as a
supplier. I would recommend John Ness at the Atlanta store. He has
helped me considerably in the past.

Have no fear about buying anything used from AES. They are very good
people. I have bought several used items from them and never had any
trouble. Call the Milwaukee store and ask for Dick KE9QU he wiltake good
care of you, tell him I sent you.

If you bought with a credit card that has buyer protection programs in place I
would report the situation to them and ask for assistance in the matter. They
will most likely ask you to return the product to the store and to pay the
restocking fee in prostest. Amex will in most cases credit your account
immediatly and will investigate the matter fully. I have on two occasions
return products that I was displeased with and have been able to prevail in
not only recovering the restocking fee but in the return shipping fees.
If you bought with CASH, check or COD then you are 100% bound to the merchants
policy.
Good luck!

They gave me a hard time also when I tried to order a replacement mic
for the Alinco DR-570T. First I ordered it giving my credit card. I told
them the radio was over five years out of production and the mic had to
be special ordered from Alinco. Again, no problem. Three weeks pass and
no mic. I call AES. They have no record of my order. I call the salesman
who I ordered it from. He says "all special order products have to paid
upfront by checks that clear. NO credit cards are accepted!"
Why was I not told that upfront. Why did that same salesman take my
credit card after I told him the mic had to come from Alinco since the
radio has been out of production for at least 5-6 years. I will never
buy anything again from AES.

I had these problems with NEW AES equipment...
I bought a Uniden BC890XLT scanner soon after it
came out. Terrible intermod with anything longer
than a stubby duck on it's rear jack. A vitually
useless scanner. I complained about it being totally
unacceptable for the price paid.
I still had to pay the restocking fee.
AES is a nice store so long as the manufacturer
isn't selling a lemon.
On the plus side, I did buy an Alinco DR600 dual-band
mobile from them. It had DTMF decode problems. They
eventually traced the problem to the main CPU board.
I was given a new, unopened unit.

I have read differing reports on the BC890XLT. Mine is working
marvelously in Riverside, CA with a discone at 32' and a 75' run of
Belden 9913. I couldn't ask for better performance.

The new Yeasu 8000 and the Kenwood TM-V7A both have some new squelch
feature.
It says that when the squelch is increased it limits the recieve
sensitivity, unlike old squelch.
How does this work?

Just acquired an icom 740 without any optional filters.
I'm not too accustomed with the passband tuning nor the if
shift effectiveness. Would I go wrong buying two optional
filters (250/270 Hz) for the 9 MHz and 455 kHz if?? Can I do
any good just buying one, if so which?
Thanks in advance to anyone with previous experience.

Seems like a lot of other people out there have the same 2m/440cm rig that
I do. My mic works fine with the exception that I can't key in a freq on
the keypad. Am I missing something? I presume there aren't any settings
on the radio to dis/enable the keypad.
If this is a hardware problem, who can I go to at Alinco for repair? Any
good references?
Thanks es 73,

Sir,
Got one of these in the car--love it, actually. Great for NOAA weather
reports, local police scanning activity, and all the normal 2m/440 MHz stuff.
Anyway, about your question:
There are step/step down pushbuttons on the top of the mic, but the keypad is
for DTMF tones only. You have to use the MHz up/down button and the VFO on th
e
front panel of the rig to change frequency.
Actually, I'm always hitting the DTMF tone buttons by accident, not to mention
the up/down buttons, and wish there WERE a way to lock out the buttons on the
mic. How's that?

I purchased an ALinco DR605T in June and by August the UHF receiver was
heading south. The problem was very intermitent and it seemed to be caused
when the radio reached elevated temps. I sent the radio to Alinco and it
was repaired under warranty. It is now working fine, just wondering if
anyone else has had that problem. Other than that it has been a fine
radio, very easy to operate. Unlike many hams who have some of the Icom
radios, I knew all of my functions within the two nights.

I purchased an Alinco DR-605T just about the same time. I mounted it in
my mobile since I purchased it in early July and is still currently
there. It has performed so well, that I just purchased another one in
mid November for my base. Don't be concerned about the problem you had,
it was just one of those unexplained happenings. I agree with you it is
a very easy rig to operate.

I think that the way 10 meter FM repeaters work, all you need CTCSS for,
there are only two tones per zone that are commonly used. Around here,
the S.F. Bay area, the only 10 meter repeaters I have worked all use the
same tone frequency. So having it set my a dip switch is not really a
disadvantage unless you are mobiling accross country.
Some very fine transceivers I have seen or owned, have had the same set
up with dip switches.
Of course, I could be absolutely full of choclate chip cookies!

Hi, that's the deal, CTCSS tones are set via a DIP switch.I can get by
on this with most of my local 6M repeaters on the same tone, but plan
on adding an external connection to a ComSpec encoder when the sun spots
come back. I just got my DX-70 yesterday, seems to be a great little
radio, and a lot cheaper than an IC-706... When CPU moded as per Oakland
mod data base, the radio tunes from 35 KHz - 35 MHz and 45 - 60 MHz

I live in Asia and frequently go to Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore...
I frequently visit the ham shops there too.
There is no DX-71. Alinco did introduce a radio back in mid 96
which is for commerical use only ... it is a "channelized" version
of the DX-70 (sans 6 meters) designed for ITU/Marine use and is
type accepted for such.

A fantastic rig for HF mobile/portable. I also own an IC706 and
a Yaesu FT890 too. The FT890 is the best of the lot on a fixed
antenna, but you can't beat the Alinco's solid performance on
SSB and CW, the good ergonomics, and the price. Performance is good
on a fixed antenna...but not as good as the FT890.
I am disappointed in the Icom 706 because, while covering 2M and 6M,
it does not perform very well on HF (qsk is bad, overloads easily,
runs very hot, noisy fan, etc). It is a good choice if you have
room to mount only 1 radio though.
Want more info? Feel free to email me.

Walt,
I have one in my truck. The ergonomics are easy and can be done by feel
in the dark. The receiver is rather hot and thus is noisy but has four
RF level settings. The noise blanker is pretty worthless but in a
mobile application an effective NB is a real challenge. I like the 2
ports for HF/6 meters. On the minus side the remote kit is cumbersome.
I would not recomend removing the cables except as needed for service.
The multi conductor cable plugs directly into boards in the radio and
head. I work with ths type of equipment every day and I'm not
comfortable removing it.

Many thanks to all of you who replied to my original posting. I have had my
DX70 for 10 days now and I'm quite pleased with it. The receiver is good, it
is really quite simple to use. I receive good audio reports as well. It was ve
ry
good value for money. On the downside, there is no swr meter or decent power
level meter. The alc metering (a flashing led!) is a joke. I had a qso with V3
1
(Belize) today, mobile (as usual) on 21MHz using the DX70. I received as good
a
report mobile with the DX70 as a nearby home based station. Can't be bad...
Now all it needs are some (simple!) mods to expand VHF coverage.

Jim at HRO in Salem, New Hampshire was kind enough to look into the
matter and put in the order for the new Dr-570T mic. I feel that HRO in
Salem, New Hampshire redeamed themselves. If I convince my wife to hold
off on the new dining room table/chairs, I will order the new Icom 756
from Jim at HRO in Salem,NH. Thanks Jim!!

Check with Radio Depot in Bremerton WA, 360-377-9067. He (Dave)
carries most Alinco acessories and will treat you right.

it was like someone turned the light on over there. They took care of
most of the stuff right away. If you haven't dealt with the service

and no 500 hz cw filter - but those are design/marketing problems, not
service problems)

I am intersted in buying a 2mtr. or possibly a dual bander soon.
Can any of out there please tell me if you have had any
experience with Alinco radios. Good or bad. I am thinking of
perhaps the DR-605 dual band or just the DR-150 T.
I have been on HF for a long time now and this will be my
first experience with 2M/440 . What is the simplex range of
440 mhz. ?

I have the Alinco DR605. A nice little radio.
An alphanumeric display would have been nice, as
would three separate power levels rather than
two (5 or 50W), but you have to cut some corners
for a low price. But it works well and handles
1200 baud packet just fine. I'm using it as a
base rig connected to a small Cushcraft AR270
dual-band vertical.
However, the new Yasesu FT8000 is, I think, only
50 to 75 bucks more and may be worth considering.
I once had an Alinco DR600. A very good radio as far
as RF capabilities but a totally crappy user-interface
and front panel design. The DR605 is much improved.

portable... Send me any info about that OR/AND any comments about your

I'm looking for radio with:

I would like to get in touch with anyone well acquainted with the Midland
77-117. This is a CB transceiver that also receives VHF weather channels.
Specific questions I am seeking answers to are:
1. Do the CB and WX receivers share a common IF? Just how much circuitry
do the two have in common?
2. Does anyone have a schematic handy? Is one included with the manual?
3. How well does the receiver perform, both at HF and VHF? Specs?

Gee, good for you Jim! How much did he charge you?
Don't you ever wonder about the screwball laws being written everyday
to restrict and regulate our laws? Do you think they're written by
Joe Concerned Citizen?
How about the financial impact lawyers have on our everyday lives?
Every time they win some humongous settlement in some pea brained
case it ends up costing the taxpayers and consumers.
Ever look up justice in the dictionary? How about all those crooks and
murders that get off every year due to some "technicality"? Ever hear
of the case of the divorce where the mom was suicidal and mentally
unable to cope without anti-psychotic medication and the father was
"normal"...mom got custody.
The responses you see here are direct reflections of our own experiences
and disdain for lawyers. When one threatedned to sue me, I posted it
so the world could see what they are really like.
Sorry you don't agree that the world would be a safer and cheaper place
without them.

On the positive side of this topic, you might note that the Feds have now
decreed that aircraft manufacturers will only be liable for 18 years
after their product has been sold instead of eternity. Common sense does
prevail eventually.
Another point to consider is that many of these unbelievable judgements
have been rendered by juries!! Has the point been reached where we can
no longer trust the juries??
Our society has serious problems and sleazy lawyers are a symptom, not
the problem itself.
Honest, hardworking lawyers do exist and are a valuable commodity when
someone decides to rain on your parade. And yes, they're not
necessarily cheap, but most will try to keep costs down when they know
you're not well-off.

You are, to some degree, correct.
The proliferation of lawsuits really isn't the fault of the Trial
Lawyers Association. In a sense, they are merely providing a service
to accomodate a demand for legal services in our country.
It is the desire to "get rich quick" (and sueing someone seems to
be a way of doing that with little to no risk if you can get a
lawyer to take your case on a percentage basis, which most will)
that the American people have today [inherently lazy bastards
they are -- the Japanese were right -- they want to lay around
with the good life, no work, have everything paid for them by
someone else -- basically an extension of the welfare-state
mentality that permeates this country today].

I too once needed a lawyer, and he came thru for me. I think the problem
is the
bottom half of the class. This lower 50% has contemp for the law, and
they are
who the lawyer joke are for. Basically, it is the Judges who have my
contemp, but
then they are lawyers also. And if you say, "What about the judge in my
case, where
I won", I will just say, at one point, the Judge fell asleep, and I won
in spite of him, mainly because of the strength of my lawyer.

I personally think that the best thing we could do was to give congress,
(etc.) 5 years to re-touch all of the laws to make them understandable
by the average product of our school system. It would be their choice as
to modifying the laws or improving the education system! ;o)
If it has been so poorly written that only a lawyer can read it, and two
lawyers come to different opinions of what it means, then it should not
be binding! (Think what that would do the the tax structure).

Hello and thanks for reading my message....
I have some problems with my TS-930, the antenna tuner doesn't work
properly. After 2 tunings he doesn't want to tune anymore, it's just
like the tuner is not reseted after a few tunings.
And when I push the PTT, the led AT-tune isn't lighted anymore, so
he even don't check the SWR anymore..
Did anyone had the same problem, of if you could give me some
advice please mail me.

When the rig first appeared in the advertisements it had selectable
bandwith in many steps, a gadget which was abandoned after a few months.
Does anybody know why and how the switching was done?

I have a simple (?) question for you gurus out there:
What is the best radio to choose when I intend to listen to air-traffic,
and want a cheap, but good radio. (Today I have a dreadful Sangean 818).
Price? Around 400 UKP, 650 USD.
I`d be happy if someone answered.
Yours

I don't know about "best", but I'm having fun with the IC-706 in my
truck. It's a little shy on mic gain, and the 2-meter FM output is a
joke, but the price was right. (I won it.)
The detachable front panel is an excellent feature, and one I would look
for in any mobile rig. Although I always wanted a 6-meter SSB rig, I
never seriously looked at any news ones. My impression, however, is that
the number of HF/6-meter rigs is larger than the number of all-mode
6-meter only rigs.

Without a doubt it will be the new Icom 756. It is probably better to
get one rig for both bands, unless you like to monitor 50.125 24 hours a
day hoping for a band opening. Then you would need two rigs. I have a
Kenwood TS690 that has hf plus 50 watts on six meters. It is a very nice
rig that you can find used for about $1000. The Alinco DX70 is also a
nice rig with 100 watts on six meters for about $980 new from AES, though
it is a mobile size radio. The new Icom rig is not available yet, nor has
a price been published. My guess is that it will be a very affordable
(per Icom ad) $2500 or so. Good luck.

I have used an IC-706 now for about 4 months, mobile and at home....I have
no complaints what so ever. I bought it used so the rig is about a year
old now. I dont know if it is the best but I have made my first 6 and 2
meter SSB contacts on it as well as using it daily on 2 FM and the lower
HF bands. I even gave it a try today on 80 meter AM and the audio was
reported as excellant. I have not received any bad reports as far as audio
on any band or mode....In short its a hell of a lot of fun! 73 de Gary

Same here...an excellant rig...all bands all modes! Used it for the first
time on 6 meters AM on an old-timers net working HA-460's and Gonsets! Great

I am considering upgrading my Gap Eagle DX antenna which got twisted in
last winter's storms. My QTH demands a vertical. Does anyone have an
opinion on what is the best multi-band HF vertical (with no radials)? I
am aware of the Cushcraft R-7000, a new Gap model Titan DX, and a German
one I saw advertised a few months ago in QST. Are there any recent
comparative tests? Thanks for your help.

I've been using a Butternut HF-6V vertical for about 12 years, and it was
used when I bought it. I am very pleased with the performance (especially
on 40m an 20m) and the very broad bandwidth on 40m and up.
I have it ground-mounted, and I'm not using radials (we are blessed with
highly conductive soil here with a very high iron content). It's mounted
on a six-foot steel T-post (the kind used to install barbed wire fences),
which is pounded five feet into the ground. The antenna is attached to
the T-post using U-clamps. In this installation, the antenna has easily
survived the nasty winds of Texas thunderstorms and ice storms for the
last 12 years. I have had to replace a few parts over the years, but I
have no complaints about that (all antennas require periodic maintenance
and repairs to keep them in top working order).
This is NOT an easy antenna to tune (expect to spend several hours on it)
but the effort is well worth it. The job is much easier if you have access
to an MFJ-249 VSWR Analyzer (every ham needs one of these anyway).

One day I just switched the audio filter on and no sound came
out. When I switch it off, it patches the audio through to
the speaker just fine, but with it turned on, no sound comes
through at all, regardless of the setting of the frequency knob,
selectivity switch, or bass filter switch.
Does anyone have any documentation, or a schematic?
Please email.

I have a Standard C508A and was wondering if anyone has bought their
desk charger? I was thinking of making my own, so I could charge the
NiCd's that I use in it. I would like to know what the voltage output of
the factory charger is. Also, can you use the radio when it is plugged
into the charger for receiving, transmitting or both?

Can someone explain the difference between "winged emblem" and "round
emblem" collins radios? I know what they look like, but what does the
difference signify? Was there a date at which they changed over to the
round emblem, or were round and winged produced concurrently? Were there
feature differences? Thanks.

Round emblems are later production than winged emblem units.

Joe; may be worth quite a bit to one of the members of the Collins
collector's club. If it's been boxed up all that time, there's
still going to be some problems. But to the right collector,
that won't be a problem. I know the collector's club meets on
20Mtrs on Tuesday evening, not sure of the exact frequency.
Good luck with your find. Dave WA0ZZG. Cedar Rapids,Ia.

Does anyone know of anyone using Video Conferencing on
computer/internet in conjunction with amateur redio? I have been in
contact with hundreds of people from around the world on Cu-Seeme and
have run into only one ham. Is there a freq. HF or VHF where hams may
hang out that use both modes..computer and radio. I believe this would
be a natural progression from Slow Scan. We now can SEE the people
we are in QSO with.
If you are interested in setting up a sched. and have Video
COnferencing capabilities or are just interested drop me an e-mail,

Hello !
I have an Icom transceiver, IC-725, and I just bought a CW-N
250Hz filter. The problem is that the filter I got is the FL-63
and not the FL-101 that is recomended on the manual !!
The caracteristics of the filter are the same (same freq and
also 250Hz/-6dB).
The enclosure of the filter is a litle different so the pins don't
fit in the socket. I have already made an adaptor so it can be
pluged in.
The big question is WILL THE FL-63 WORK AS WELL AS THE FL-101 ??
Thank you !

I recently picked up a Dentron 2KW amp. It used 4
572B tubes. Can get the amp to put out 700 Watts on
CW, but it is using 1 amp in, with 1500V to obtain the
power. With the input power at .667 Amp, at 1500v,
or 1000 watts in, I only get about 400w out. I can
push the amp to 1 full Amp in, with 700 watts out,
but it seems harsh to push it that hard. By the way,
the input power from the exciter is only about 25 watts
for the 400w out, and about 60w drive for the 700 watts
out. Manual claims you need 60-125 watts to get output,
but that pushes the input current beyond 1 amp. Any
ideas? This is into a good load and is consistent
throughout all bands. Could the silly current meter
be off? I don't know anymore. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks, 73, Mike... WQ0N

First: what wattmetter. DO NOT DEPEND ON THAT DENTRON
wattmeter in the rig! Get a nice 52ohm dummy load and a
good wattmeter. Try that - if you get low output then
you can decide to live with it or buy new tubes.
My mla2500 wattmeter reads lower than what the outboard
meter reads also.....

Wattmeter is an external one. The Clipperton-L doesn't have a
built in wattmeter. The load and wattmeter have been tested
against another amplifier hooked to the same, they are fine.
Whats so strange about this amp is that it draws so much darn
plate current. I did have another amateur respond that his
Clipperton-L also drew a lot of plate current. What I'm worried
about is taking out the power supply. Ideas? Thanks again,
Mike... WQ0N

Hello and thanks for reading this..
Does anyone know if DF Systems is still in businness??
I went to their Web Site and placed and order over a week ago for their Handy
Finder Kit. As of today, No kit and nothing heard from DF Systems period.
I have left them two pieces of mail and haven't heard a thing from them.
I am curious if they are still in business or if this is simply the way they
normally handle their business affairs??
Thanks

Well finally heard from DF Systems, it seems that not answering mail nor
bothering with orders for weeks at a time is the way that DF Systems normally
does things.
I was informed by the owner that he doesn't own a watch, nor a calendar, and
that he answers his mail when he checks it, and that DF Systems was a hobby
with him.
This is all well and good, I only wished that he had let me know this when I
logged on his Web site, I wouldn't have wasted my time with his outfit if he
had..

Simple.
Since AB covers a wide range (between 180 degrees of conduction, which is
class B, and 360 degrees, which is class A), the 1 and 2 are simply to
designate whether or not driving current (tube-speak: grid current) is drawn.
If AB1, no grid current drawn. This is the same as "zero drive power
required", since if P=i*E, and i=0, then P=0.
If AB2, grid current drawn.

The difference is in the amount of forward bias on the output
devices.
More forward bias (higher standing current) will (in general)
improve linearity.

Hi, just want to pass on a few findings/impressions of the new Alinco
DJ-41 mini UHF HT that I got at HRO the other day. For only $135, it's
a great beginners radio. Has 2o memories, and 350 mw transmit
power.It's flip-up duck antenna is convenient.Does have provissions
for external speaker/mic and 5.5 volt DC power. Normal power is from
3x AA batteries. I think that it requiers a drop-in charger for
using Nicads, but I'll check on that and it might be fixable...It's
biggest limitation is that it only has CTCSS encode,although I may work
on fixing that too.
The squelch is set by an internal trim pot, mine seened to be a little
too close to threshold. From studying the schematic, I also noticed
that it seems to have the capability to be computer programmed and or
cloned.(via a connection through the mic. jack). I'll need to see if
Alinco plans on supporting any software for it. In checking with Alinco
a few weeks back, a service manual should be available for the S41 in
another month or two. This will help in mod R&Ding. If you havn't heard,
Alinco has a very similar version of the S41 that will be marketed for
the new FRS service. It is still pending on Type Acceptance and may be
available by xmas.
Now the fun stuff: As the radio comes out of the box, it only tunes from
420 - 450 MHz. A very simple mod that we devised cures this.Simply
remove the back cover(requires removal of 7 screws,4 in the battery
compartment, 3 near the top). With the radio face down, look over on the
far left edge of the CPU PC board. About half way down you will see a
zero ohm chip jumper(it's the only component over there). Simply remove
this jumper, and reassemble the back cover. The radio now will program
from 400 - 500 MHz!!! Although the actual PLL lock range seems to be
about from 425 - 490 MHz. It seems to have decent receive sensitivity up
through 465 MHz. Enjoy 73's DE WA1YKL
Note, cute bit O' irony in that we got this little wonder and developed
the mod for it on 12/7.....and that the mod was centered in the removal
of a "zero".... No big, deal just cute... Hey, it beats flamming.

I am looking to purchase a DSP audio filter. Does anyone
have experience with the commercial units available today,
including the JPS NIR-12, Timewave models, MFJ, and any
others??
Any comments on head-to-head comparisons of the aforementioned
units would be greatly appreciated.

DX-70T owners- have you had this problem?
After purchasing a new DX-70T, I needed to prepare it for use with
an amplifier. The manual says to remove the botton cover and clip
a jumper to enable a relay that keys the linear. After doing this
and replacing the cover, I found out that there was no rf out of the
exciter. Upon examination, I found that the cover contacted a ground
tab attached to a small "IF can" type of transformer on the other
side of the radio (top) on the Main Board. The bottom cover had bent
the transformer up away from the pcb resulting in no rf out. There
was no way to see that this would happen in advance, and no warning
to this effect is in the manual.
Has anyone else had this problem with this particular radio? It
sure was a nice radio till this happened. It goes back to AES
today, after only two days of use.

Gerald,
I failed to mention that it is going back for repair, and at my
expense if necessary. If you saw how the ground tab was installed
in this particular radio, you might think differently. I would like
to know if all DX-70s have this tab installed the same way, because
it is almost impossible to see that replacing the bottom cover is
going to damage anything. I had no reason to remove the top.
Just for reference, how is that tab in your radio? This transformer
is on the main board (top) near the side of the radio. I am sure that
few of these radios went out like this, and in this case, I do feel
that Alinco should make it good- but it will be up to them to decide.
I also told Alinco that I was aware that I did the damage myself, and
would pay the price if that was their decision (I ended up sending it
to them instead of AES).
I also wanted to let every DX-70 owner know to watch for this
potential problem, so that they could avoid making the same mistake.

I've been in my Dx-70 several times with no problems. I find your
attitude interesting. You mod the radio and you break it and now you
expect the retailer to take it back. Wow! Not only that it seems your

Posting this for a friend of mine who wants to buy a transceiver,
either the Alinco DX70 or the Icom IC706.
Has anyone here had any experiences with these, especially with
possible modifications and TX/RX range? Any comparisons possible?
Replies may be (much) more detailed than my questions! I will hand
them over to my friend, he will be fine with all the technical stuff.
thanks

ok, you're in the killfile. anything else we can do for you? oh, by
the way, most everyone considers you an inconsiderate dumbfuck. Are
your mother and father also your aunt and uncle? I swear, I have not
EVER seen such lame ranting in my life. Perhaps you shouldn't drink
quite so much. Who gives a fuck if he spells bureau wrong?
What the hell is that supposed to mean? You seem to have a really
horrible problem with your caps lock, which only makes you look more
like an idiot. If you want to argue and rant, at least try to do it in
a rational manner. He quite definitely got the other part right--that
would be the part about you being a moron and a dumbass.
I'd be curious what the excuse is for you to continue living. If I
were you, I'd blow my fucking brains out and do society a favor, not
to mention putting an end to the embarrassment your family must suffer
when people learn they are related to you. Do it now, please. Suicide
is the only answer when someone is as mentally disturbed as you. Do
it. All you have to do is put the gun in your mouth and pull the
trigger-- you'll never feel a thing. Do it. No one will even know
you're gone, your existance is so meaningless. Do it.

You are a moron. You are a dumbass. Learn how many states we have.
Learn the justice system, find a woman, get laid, and then maybe we
won't hear from you anymore. Your parents shouldn't have smoked pot
and tried a coat hanger abortion while pregnant with you.
Did I just sound immature? Good. Cause I am dropping myself to your
level. Grow up, or leave. If you don't have anything on topic to
contribute, don't. I'd like to know: Is anyone else as sick of this
guy as I am? If so tell me, and I will tell you where to forward your
messages to get this loser out of here.

Our repeater group has been using the Falcon amplifier for a few
years. At no time tho were we able to obtain the 100 watts rated power
output. The most we can get is 70 watts. Thats plenty for the
repeater. However its always bothered me as to why not the 100 watts.
Has anyone any suggestions. Are there replacement FET power
transistors for those in the unit. It presently uses Polycore F1260
power fets.
We are driving the unit with a GE EXEC II converted to a repeater
configuration running at reduced power.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers

I have no choice but to seek damages against several individuals for their
biased and liable remarks. Persons such as Evan Platt, who is not even an
amateur radio operator
created malicious, biased and liable remarks, which has caused damage to my
personal character and my business. I have copies of all email/newsgroup
postings and names of such persons also involved in this act.
I will intiate a civil class action law suit seeking punitive damages
against any individual, person or persons who writes, transmits in any form
or manner, liable remarks aginst my person, company and or business.
I am also shocked that the web manager of this site has not stopped these
acts.

In most states, it is illegal to threaten a law suit as you have done in
your message. Perhaps the thousands of people reading your message that
have no idea what you are talking about should swear out a complaint.
"...yes, your federal honorship sir, someone sent me email on the internet
and said baaaaad things..."

So do I. And I have the ones with "Evan Platipus." I have contacted
your administrator and demanded action be taken against you, for that
and for your consistant misuse of this newsgroup for commercial and
non-amatuer related issues (see "CHEAPER THAN FREE PAGER FOR ALL 51
STATES", see "PENTIUM COMPUTER FOR SALE." I think your lack of
knoweldge of our government (mainly how many states we have) cause
damaged to your business (if you call it that). So sue yourself in
court. I say the state of Guam should sue you. Flush twice, it's a
long way to your house.

Umm. Rite. And you are going to be counsel, I assume? Someone who
thinks 1 person saying 'slanderous' remarks is a class action suit,
which is handled in Federal court? Sure. I hope you are a better pager
provider than paralegal.
>I am also shocked that the web manager of this site has not stopped these
>acts.
Umm. There's a WEB site (see: http://www.site.com) and there is
USENET. WEB sites are accessed via a web browser (see NETSCAPE).
Usenet newsgroups are not 'managed'. If they were, you'd be gone a
long time ago.
Now quit your pager spam, quit posting your computers for sale, or I
will have the USDA arrest you for tresspassing on my lawn. (Sorry,
I've been reading your "Paralegal in 2 days!" course.

As a lawyer, you (will) know about preciseness in the legal system. We
"clowns" love reading and responding to this silly posts. We have
nothing better to do in the cold Wisconsin winters.

I think it's "libel" not liable...for example, "If you pursue legal
recourse, you are liable to wait for many moons to collect the cash."
Liable basically means most likely to.
Try a dictionary...you will need it to fill out the court paperwork.

He probably connects via a news<->http gateway, so he tries to
alert the one managing the gateway to control news as well.
Some people don't know a network from a nitwit, but insist that
the site where they get their news play police for news. They
can't grasp the concept of distributed computing, globally
networked newsfeeds, unmoderated newsgroups, free speech,
injuring themselves without claiming gazillions of $$$ from
the manufacturer (they didn't put that on the warning label,
so I loaded my pistol and began hammering a nail into the
wall with it, then it went off and the bullet hit my foot).
Obvious trolls have been here for ages, they eventually go
away when everybody ignores them.
ObRRAE:
Has anybody got the schematics for the "starfleet communicator"
that appeared in 73 around 1977? I saw it mentioned somewhere
as a 10GHz rig and was wondering about it.

I just bought a truckload of Cellular Amps from a local scrapyard..They
have been kept dry..Being a typical Ham, I couldn't stand to see them put
in the Crusher...
Here's a description of what I have: 25 units all same style, different MFG.
they are 10 lbs apiece, major heat sink fins, size is 3.5" x 5.25" x 12 long.
In/output connections within DB-17 shell connector, they require 24VDC..
I think these units are a great basis for rebuild to 900 MHZ ..I just need
to find the Right person or group...
Here's a parts breakdown and MFG..
7 units Mfg by Autoplex (AT&T) Model J41650FB-1L1, somoma scientific CX8AI,
Transistors: Acrian 46076-80456
2 units Mfg by Autoplex (AT&T) Model J41650FB-2L2, OMC UD8690-T, tranistors:
2/MRF-891, 2/PH BLV59 H 8931
6 Units by Western Electric, model 22090, tranistors 2/SDI-496, 2/Acrian

7 units by Decibel products, model DBPO45D01B-G, Ocean microwave

Celwave BC-900-AA, RCL 3way power dividers, Meca 4way couplers, a few 800 rec
preamps: model Trontech KS21583-L2
I need to move this equipment out!! I really don't need it, I'm a VHF/UHF guy
and not interested in 900 Mhz stuff....But I couldn't pass it up!!!
Prices: 1 amp shipped to your door UPS/COD: $35.00, Take 2 for
$50.00...Better deal? 4 for $100.00!! and I will throw in some of the
combiners in...On the 2 4 channel compiners (looks like a duplexer) Make
offer...Heavy!
I will trade for any kind Motorola equipment, even Mt-500's or
HT-90's..No P-200/P-220 or trunkmounts please....

Hi, I have a great deal on a complete BIRD test set:
This is everything you need in one small package. All BIRD and
used but in good shape.
It contains the following:
1 Hard Black Plastic Carrying Case
1 100W continuous dry dummy load with male N-Connector model 8164
1 Variable RF signal sampler model 4275-020 1000W max 20-1000 MHz
with one male and one female N-connector. This unit is perfect for
pulling off a signal for your scope, spectrum analyzer, etc. from a high
power source (such as 100W for example) without blowing up your equipment.
1 2' Female N to Male N double shielded cable for connecting the dummy
load to your meter or radio.
1 4410A BIRD Wattmeter (see below for description)
4 Slugs for the 4410A covering 0.1W to 1000W and from 2 MHz to 512 MHz.
The 4410A is the meter that looks exactly like a Bird 43 but has a range
switch with seven positions. It uses special slugs which are the equivalent o
f
seven standard Bird slugs. These slugs look just like standard slugs but
have different model numbers.
The meter has N-Connectors
The meter is used but in good condition
The slugs are as follows:
Each number in below represents the full scale range, and each slug has 7
full scale ranges.
4410-3 2-30MHz (1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 Watts)
4410-5 25-80MHz (1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 Watts)
4410-6 50-200MHz (1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 Watts)
4410-7 144-520MHz (1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 Watts)
(equivalent of 28 standard bird slugs!!!)
I am asking $450 each for the whole set plus shipping.
I can substitute the 1000W HF slug for a new in-used 10kW HF slug for an
extra $25 The minimum readable value is 1 Watt instead of 0.1 Watt.
Thanks,
Scott Sidener N0WFL

Has anyone heard of all these mods not working on newer( as in last few
weeks) models of the FT 50?? I have heard of 2 people who have bought them
and they claim that the extended tx mod didnt work on their radios, I have
not personally viewed them yet and think they might have some how screwed
up on the mod. Just wondering if anyone heard anything,
though....Scannaman@AOL

********** PANORAMIC DISPLAY FOR YAESU FT-1000 ***************
Hello all, Just spoke to Jerry Vogt from "Hamtronics, Inc". He said
that if
they get 40-50 committed customers they will design a "black box" that
would
connect between the Yaesu FT-1000 and a Kenwood Scope (SM220 w/BS8 or
SM230),
for PANORAMIC DISPLAY use!
The FT-1000 comes with the IF OUT jack, and even refers hooking a
bandscope to
it in the manual, but they never made one. The Kenwood scopes work
excellent
and are readily available new and used. The IF's (8.83 MHz) don't
match, however.
A circuit is needed to downconvert the FT-1000's 73.62 MHz I.F. to
Kenwood's 8.83 MHz I.F. HAMTRONICS will provide the necessary mixer
and Xtal controlled oscillator (all in one small shielded box) to do
the work! This IS rather specific, but it will obviously work with
any other 73.62 IF. Not sure what the other Yaesu's or the MP has.
**** Please respond either to me (news, and email), or to Jerry Vogt
at the Hamtronics site: http://www.hamtronics.com/hamxHome.html
Just a brief, "Count me in, I want one!!" type of message will do.
If the count is high enough, we're in! They'll make em' Tell your
friends!!
It's too early to know the price, but their similar converters are
very affordable. Thank you all!! -- Richard Valentine, N1SQJ

More Snips -
The brochure for the 'MP lists the following IF's:
Main RX: 70.455 MHz, 8.215 MHz, 455 kHz, and 10.24 kHz (EDSP)
Sub RX: 47.21 MHz, 455 kHz
The 8.215 MHz 2nd IF is common between the two Yaesu radios, and is much
closer to the 8.83 MHz 2nd IF of the Kenwood radios - cannot this one be
used (I am NO expert!)?
The idea is attractive! I'll send out a "count me in" message.

Hi,
Does anyone here know how well the FT-3000M performs,
compared to the FT-2500M (on 2M that is)? Does it inherit the
track-tuning used in the FT-2500M to combat IMD? I'd appreciate
if someone could comment on this aspect of the FT-3000M and
other aspects as well. Thanks.

Bob, you're right. BUT, why on earth Yeasu doesn't release some FT-50x WITH
two receivers (&repeater, &more, &more..) ?? I'd buy it. Their FT-51 is just
a bad joke on the theme of full-dual HTs... (please don't lapidate me, FT-51
fans :). Is that so hard to stuff in a couple of VCOs?

The big advantage of the single receiver for me is the improved battery life.
I had an FT-530 before the FT-50 and it ate batteries. Sure, I could turn the
other band off, but then what's the sense of carrying it around? To me it is
like an HF radio...I don't use 20 and 40 meters at the same time, but I like
having them both in the same radio! I would like to see manufacturers move the
direction of offering multi-band mobile and portable VHF/UHF radios that were
simple to operate and didn't have all the gee-whiz features that burn up
batteries and make me carry the operator's manual with it.

You can display the frequency in the left hand (larger) portion of the alpha
dislay and the channel number in the smaller right hand portion of the
display. You use the subdisplay option in the menus to configure what you see
in the smaller right hand portion of the display. I usually use the right
hand side of the display to show my battery voltage, but sometimes I switch it
over to show the channel number. The right hand side can also show the
frequency of the second VFO when you are using the dual watch feature.

Does anyone know if there is a way to delete a memory location and
bump all the other memories down one on an FT-530??? I don't see it in
the manual, so I am assuming that when you save something in memory
the only way to get rid of it is to save something else in it's place.

Actually, you can "hide" memory locations. This, in essence, disables
the memory location but is restorable if you don't overwrite that
location. Scanning does not see this location nor does any "normal"
function of the radio and this is a bit different from setting the
SCAN SKIP.
To disable a memory location, press and hold <FM> until the number
in the memory box blinks. Use the dial or arrow keys to select
the memory location you wish disabled and press <MR>. The memory
box should now display 1 and show its contents. I don't believe
that memory location #1 can be disabled. Nope, just tried to and
it didn't work.
Alas, there is no way to delete a memory location and have the
others move up one location automagically.

My question is, how can I make it ID when I want it to? I.E. I push some
buttons and it sends out my CW ID. I know I won't be using ARTS at all,
so that feature is completely useless to me. But according to the manual,
it appears that the CWID is "glued" to ARTS.
Any thoughts?

I'll play around with it, but I believe as long as you have it in ARTS
mode, it sends it every 5?? mins? I'll RTFM later. But I don't think
you can "ID" on demand.. Wait.. Interesting idea: Set it up so it
sends the ID (i.e. put it in ARTS mode, wait. Record the out put to a
tape recorder then back to the radio into the Digital voice.. Idea.

I have a yaesu ft50r ser# 6f041090 and I bought the comet SMA3 antenna
for it but the center pin on the antenna won't reach the center pin on
the connector on my radio. As a result of this I had to grind the base
of the antenna down to enable the pin to reach. I tried the antenna
before
I ground it down on a newer FT50R and it worked just fine. Has anyone
else had this or a similar problem?
Thanks

The BER for this radio is quite good. The receive BER is about the
same as the TEKK900 radio but the transmit BER is not as good. I am
about to purchase a FT-8500 to see if it works..

I just passed my technician exam and I would like to get started on 2m / 70 cm
.. Many books publish articles about what a beginner should get, but the opini
ons vary greatly.
I┤m interested in repeater, simplex, and packet work, maybe some SSTV. I
don┤t know if I should get a yagi or a groundlane antenna. What┤s the
best deal in my case? Are there any brands that can be
recommended?
What is a good transcheiver (dual band)? (with packet capability) I want
a mobile one, but with enough comfort so it can be operated in my home
to..
I would really apreciate your help,
73, Patrick

When I get the mic in the mail I may agree. I still didn't like the way
I was treated (dealers,Alinco policy). Perhaps the dealers will be more
happy to order the mic (options) in the future. There is a lot more
profit in the options than the basic radio.

After the previous thread of messages about Alinco, I dropped a message
to the Alinco Web site. They have a web page which allows one to leave
comments to Alinco service.
I have had occasional problems with my Alinco DR-570's microphone, but only
when the car was very hot (and it does get hot during a Kansas summer!)
In response to a previous posting about microphone problems on the DR 570
units, Alinco said that they can repair microphones if one has problems, and
they have other options to help customers. Scott Booth, the Alinco service
representative was very polite and helpful in the response he gave.
I have had only good luck with Alinco service when my DR 570 required service
shortly after purchase. The CPU/display died, and Alinco fixed the problem
promptly and I've never had any problems since. One could hardly argue
with such good results.
The DR 570 is a good radio, and I would not hesitate to recommend Alinco
to anyone looking for ham gear.

I too was guilty of bad-mouthing Alinco about their aparent lack of
communication - I faxed and wrote. Finally I found their web page and
sent a note to 'Customer Service' with my request. Twice actually). The
service was immediate and quite astonishing. The little, impossible
sized switches were in the mail the next day.
Just have to do it right!

I have an ICOM IC-706 and want to install it on board my 30' sailboat.
Instead of installing a ground plate, can I run the chassis ground from
the radio to the YANMAR diesel engine to provide safety from shock? What
are the pros & cons of such an arrangement? My Marine VHF radio is
"grounded" through the + & - 12VDC. So it's confusing when I hear I need
to have a separate ground plate to connect my radio's chassis ground. I
currently have a no-code license, studying for my General license in
preparation for cruising in southern waters. All responses appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Greetings all,
I am currently using a htx-100 for my RS-10 satellite station, as the
downlink receiver. The problem is that I am getting A LOT of hash noise from
surrounding computers, monitors and even me moving! When I touch the mobile
mount (which is sitting on the table) the noise decreases, I remove my hand...
it comes back... How do I ground this rig? Cable off the mobile bracket?

I've got to say, amateur radio will change... and in the course of it's
evolution, I believe it will draw strength on its roots as a platform for
individual expression. Beauracracy and organisation are features of life
that are used to control, bring order, and sometimes subvert the rights and
freedoms of individuals.
It is no lie to say 'amateur radio will never die'. It may become leaner,
meaner, and 'greener', but it will always find a crack of bandwidth... and
the energy that flows out of that crack, will always carry with it... the
stamp of its making... humanity and the call of the wild in perfect
synergy.
Fear not the flood of time, for your ark will ride the torrent and always
bring you to safe shores. Such is the nature of the ether,
electromagnetism, and the very principle of radio. Whilesoever the sun
shines, there will be propogation... so go forth and multiply (propogate).

hi,
i am ON1BLE, located in Belgium (Europe), within a few weeks,
a friend of mine will bring a visit to New-York(NY) to do some
Christmas shopping.
I asked my friend if it could be possible for him, to buy a
new Yaesu HF tranceiver for me, because the price is much cheaper than
it is in
Belgium.
It would be very nice, if you could give me some addresses in NY (+
tel, fax, opening hours)
of HAM stores that sell YAESU HF tranceivers.
Please give me a reply as soon as possible. My private e-mail is:

Maybe a problem in the receiver AGC circuits? It taking too long to

This is a well-known problem that I cured in my HW-100. I found the
solution in the 1970s editions of either QST: Hints and Kinks or Ham
Radio: Ham notebook. If I find it I'll mail you about it. I think I added
a diode and a resistor to ground floating screen grids.

I have two different Heil Microphones that I have tried using with both
of my ICOM 706 radios utilizing the VOX circuit. I seems that I can
hardly get more that 2 syllables spoken before the transmit relay drops
out. I have adjusted the VOX gain to MAX and the ANTI-VOX to MIN, with
a vox delay as high as 1.5 seconds. If I use an ICOM microphone the
problem is not present. I believe this to be due to the presence of a
preamp circuit on the ICOM mike as opposed to the HEIL microphone. I
would like very much to use these expensive microphones for their
convenience but without VOX they are of little value to me. Does
anybody have any suggestions...I have been unsuccessful with questioning
both ICOM and HEIL.
Thanks and 73,

You may not like this as a fix, but you can use the external keying function
with a footswitch and manually key the radio with your foot, allowing you to
still keep your hands free.

Hi Kellan, You are correct on the need for a preamp with Icom radio's.
Bob Heil offered a schemeatic diagram for a small preamp which you
could build for use with his mic's and the Icom transceivers. I used
one on my IC-751A for a while. It provided the necessary amplification
for use with a heil (or any other non-amplified) microphone. I built
one...and later took apart an old Icom hand mic and used the preamp out
of it for a heil boom headset.
Works fine.

Could anyone point me to a source for good, reliable but not
bank-breaking smart charger for 6v and/or 12v lead acid batteries?
And something similar for NiCads?
Any general information as to where batteries as well might be purchased
at good qprices would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Is there anybody who can give the
pin-designation of the E-prom in a
Bosch HFG164 handheld TRX.
The E-prom is of RCA manufacture
and has the following printed on it:
CDP 18 U 42CD
Thanks in advance,

I can. At least, for the CDP1842C....Straight from the RCA databook, hope
i'm not infringing on any copyrights.....
It is a 256x8 EEPROM.

Hello,
Name here is Larry. I have a TS930 with the following problem:
On warmup the set will lose RF sensitivity with a 20 over sig going to
S2 or less. Keying the mic will bring it back. After playing for
around 20 minutes all is fine. I v
have solved many jproblems by repairing the vias on the Digitial PCB.
Any ideas?
Tnx Larry, N4KVP sts@ac.net

Hi, I have a Heathkit SB 200 Amp I Seem to be having a problem with.
In full key down I lose all output power in about 30 Seconds. I know its
not the tube because I replaced the orginals with a set that I know
are in fine working order. I'm getting the same problem with both sets
of tubes. If anyone has had this problem pleae e-mail with your opinion.

It sounds like you have done most of the things that I would
suggest already. I do have a couple of other questions/ideas.
1. What happens when you take off the antenna? Does the noise
almost go away? If not then I would suggest filtering the
power cable.
2. Is the power cable for the radio going directly to the battery
terminals? It should be.
3. You could try building a copper box for the ignition module,
and using toroid filters or .001 uf bypass caps on the low
voltage line.
4. You might make sure that your spark plugs are resistor type.
I have never used the Magnecore wires, I just slip heavy copper
tubular braid over the wires and bond it to the block.
5. Does your noise get louder when you accelerate? All ignition
noise that I have seen does this.
6. I have never had to do this, but have you tried a transistor
AM battery radio with headphones as a noise sniffer, to try to
locate the source?
After all that you have done, it is hard to believe that you
still have S9 plus ignition noise. Are you sure that it is
ignition noise? Does it pop at idle? Or is it a hash sound?
Fuel pumps, as you probably know, are a common noise source,
as are fans and other motors.
Good luck and good hunting!

You might want to try runing RG-8 from your battery to the radio.
The ground side shields RF and the center conductor brings in the
12 Volts to operate the rig. Sometimes its hard getting through the
fire wall, but worth it. Maybe run outside your car first to see if
it works. This method has solved my problems in the past.

I have a '95 Buick LeSabre with the 3.8 liter V-6 engine and the "waste
spark" ignition system (GM's term). I am experiencing extremely bad
ignition interference on HF: on 40m it is S9+10dB on the Yaesu FT-747GX.
I have bonded: the hood in two places to the body; the radio to the
chassis; the tailpipe to the chassis. Based on some earlier responses
here praising their positive effect, I have replaced the OEM resistive
spark plug wires with units from Magnecor without any helpful effect. I
have attempted 3 different types of coax, thinking I might have a bad
connector or poor braid coverage. No luck. The antenna is mounted on the
rear of the car.
Does anyone have a GM car with this engine that has been successful in
reducing the level of spark emissions from it? I am working now directly
with Delco, but they are stumped at the moment as well. Please respond
here and/or
to : WB4LNM@aol.com
Thanks in advance for your assistance. 73 John...

Sounds like you have already done a rather thorough job, but here's
something else to try. With an ohmmeter, check whether the antenna
coax shield is well connected to the body AT THE ANTENNA. You must
disconnect the cable from the radio to check this. Make sure the
shield is not shorted to the body elsewhere.

I just purchased an ICOM IC-2SRA HT (without a manual) and I have not
figured out how to program memory channels. I think it is similar to the

Hey! Clever tag line there Timmy Z!
There is another AZ-EL rotor made by E-Moto. looks much more powerful
and is more expensive than the 5400B. I bought mine used for $425. I
have seen them as low as $350. There is also an elevation only model
that you can use with an existing AZ rotor. The 5400B has an optional
RS232 module that can interface directly. Otherwise, a DIN plug on back
brings out analog voltage cooresponding to position and accepts external
relay closures to run motors. The 5400B is probably your best bet unless
you wish to home brew, that way you can buy some more F.Z CD's with the
money saved and listen to them while soldering your little poots away!

What I used at my QTH was 2 Alliance antenna rotors, which I got
from individuals for FREE. These rotors are the ones where the pipe can
go entirely through the rotating cuff. I mounted one vertically with an
"L" shaped pipe in it, and mounted the other, mounted horizontally on the
horizontal section of the "L", with a pipe exending horizontally through
it to mount my antennae on. I calibrated the horizontal rotors scale in
degrees elevation. The whole thing was mounted on a 6' tripod I
constructed of pipe from a junk yard. Total cost for me was about $10 and
I've been using it for 14 years.

Hi,
I just received a hf amp that i need some info and help on. Perhaps
someone out there can help me. The front panel is marked:
Penetrater
amateur bi-linear
HB-1000
base amplifier
There is a tag on the back with the markings:
AMC-OMM
730 west McNab road
FT.LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA
33309
SERIAL NUMBER 0302
This amp has a pre amp. The pre amp works ok but when the amp is
excited shows no increase in output (into a dummy load). I was told when
I received it that either the pre amp or amp didn't work. Not having a
schematic or any info, I am having trouble trouble-shooting the problem.
If anyone has a schematic, info on trouble-shooting, general info on
the amp, or can be of any help, I would be most appreciative.

The club here at UMCP has a Motorola R-390A in good shape.
It works. Probably needs alignment, but it works.
1) We've been trying to estimate its age
2) We've been trying to estimate its worth
Thanks!

R390's can be worth anywere from 50.00 - 400.00 depending on its overall shape
.
There is a lot of variables involved ie: PTO Runout,Mods ....
Overall they are great radios,this radio was probably made in the late 50's
early 60's. Do a search on the web for BOATANCHORS or you can try
http://www.islandnet.com/~dma/Boatanchors/ This will get you started
Good Luck

I am considering a purchase of the Kenwood TM-742 Tri-Band radio, with
the intent of configuring it for 2m, 220 MHz, and 440 MHz operation.
Questions are:
Is this a reliable radio; where all three band operations can
confidently be placed.?
Is the RF performance GOOD in High RF city environments?
Can Cross-Band repeat be used on any combination of bands?
Please send any and all comments to my email address:
email: sfloyd@apti.com
Thanks for taking the time to send me your experiences with this radio.
I am preparing to purchase this radio.

Steve;
I have a 742 configured in exactly that way and have been using it for
about a year with the Comet CX224 tri-band antenna and triplexer.
The radio has been very reliable - no problems with it at all.
The strong out of band signal handling performance on the 2 meter module
is not outstanding. I drive through Washington, DC, each day to commute,
and had to add that notch filter advertised in QST to knock out the 152
MHz paging signals. After that, all is OK. I think that filter was about
$60. Plan on purchasing that if you want to keep wideband capability and
operate around paging sites. I've not had any problems with other
services.
Yes, cross band repeat can be set up for any combination. Occasionally,
mixing products may cause some degradation in performance, but you won't
know this until you get to a specific setup. The manual lists some known
combinations of frequencies that are less than optimum.
I've really enjoyed using mine. I have the display mounted just under my
line of vision on the dash, the controls mounted just above my broadcast
radio, and the modules in the trunk with the triplexer. Works great.
Email me if you want more info. 73

First of all, I just want to say THANKS to everybody who replied...
there were so many of you I just decided to post a new message.
There were a couple issues that just about everybody brought up. The
first one was about the antenna. I am pretty much stuck with a
vertical because of space restrictions. Out lot isn't that big at all
and there are electric and cable lines running from the house to the
pole that could really cause possible danger if I was to string a
dipole up.
And also everybody told me to look at used. I know I don't want to buy
from an individual. The local shop has used HF rigs starting at about
$600 or so. But since there is a $100 coupon on the 840 and I _think_
it is being discontinued, so it is pretty cheap. I have found it as
low as $739 delivered (from Texas Towers I think.)
I bought two used HT's (FT-470 and IC-W2A) from the shop and ended up
getting rid of both of them... then I picked up a new FT-530 for about
$300 right when they were going out... and I love it to death.
Well, I'm off to listen to GORDO dit and dah endlessly....
Thanks

I will be getting my General soon, and I am trying to figure out what
kind of equipment to buy. I have my sights set on a Yaesu Ft-840 and a
Butternut HF6VX, but I don't know much about antenna tuners. The
priority is cost, but I've read that I should at least get one with a
SWR meter. What kind should I look at? MFJ?
And what about the FM option? Will I really want this?
Also I have a power supply for my HT that puts out a constant 5 amps
and 7 amp surge. Is this too weak for the 840?
One more thing - If there are any other Rigs or Antennas in the same
price range that I should consider, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, out there!
I`m a norwegian dedicated air-traffic shortwave listener who have a
simple Sangean ATS 818, and would like a new (second hand?) and better
receiver. So I thought why not ask a guru. If you can find time to reply
on these questions, I`d be happy. If not, I understand...
Now the questions:
If I buy a receiver e.g. Yaesu FRG-100, Drake R8(A) or Lowe HF 215/225,
will I notice any difference? The problem now is that, during daytime,
the noise is dominating any possible signal. That is the case most of
the year.
Do you know if there is a scanning device integrated in any model?
And is it poosible to buy a second hand from anywhere? Maybe YOU have
one....?
Thank you in advice!

Hi!
I want to buy a shortwawe reciever for airband listening (SSB).
But the problem is that the shopkeepers wants to sell me the most
expensive things, and therefor I thougt I should be smart and ask if
some of you gurus could recommend a good reciever! It should have a
scanning device, and a price at about 900USD/600UKP.
Please, someone reply on this one?
Yours..

Hi,
My 20 watt transceiver has a burned out transformer . To purchase one new
it will cost me quite a few dollars.
Is there anyone in the Sydney area that could fix it for me......or is
willing to sell me a second hand cheap unit (as spares).
Please mail me at
conn@magna.com.au
Thanks in advance

It might be possible with a crystal controlled HT or one of the early
synthesized models which used an offset oscillator with direct f.m. for
transmitting, like the IC02 or Tempo S-1. You only need about 3 kHz
deviation, which depends on how hard you drive the radio. The i.f. on
these beasts is probably fairly wide and it is should be easy to locate
the proper point to insert/extract audio.

The Yaesu FT 790 works very well at 9k6 baud but you do need to do a
small modification to the G3RUH modem. I can supply details if you
want them.

I have an Icom IC-2AT which transmits OK on

off) on duplex. I suspect an offset adj is out of adj (?).
Before I put my dangling digits into this beast, and screw it up,

if anyone can offer at least a copy, I will be most grateful to pay for

Ed--I had something like that several years ago. It was the offset
XTAL. I ordered it from Icom America, 2380 116 Ave. NE, Bellevue, WA

Just a hunch --
Seems to just be the country nomenclature. 706E is available
locally, and is the euro version with TX "locked out" in some
frequency ranges (ie, can only TX 144 to 146).

I heard the same thing. I would guess the "a" means they have fixed the
"bugs" in the original 706. Sort of like the Icom 751 then the 751A.
I am not sure it has any additional features. I will ask my contacts at
Icom about this. Do Not ask Gary Farber(Icom USA). He automatically will
deny this so as to keep the current model selling.

radio for the first time ( out of warranty ). These pots are R191 and
R193. Stupidly relying on the photo in the manual I slightly tweaked one
pot and got no improvement. Looking closely at the board I realized the
the manual is in error and I actually tweaked R195. The photo in the
owners manual is to the right one pot. I was able to knull the carrier in
LSB but I need to find out what R195 is for and the proceedure for setting
it back. I also would like the accepted Icom proceedure for R191 and R193
if anyone has a service manual.

R 195 is in the AM modulation setting adjustment (Along with R499 and
R271) Proper adjustment of R191 and R193 requires the use of a spectrum
analtzer or a scope tap sensitive enough to see the carrier
bleedthrough. Then the pots are adjusted for minimum carrier alternately
in LSB and USB while transmitting with the mike disconnected. Try for
the lowest level on the average between LSB and USB. One or the other
will null better but it ruins the opposite sideband so go for the best
average.

I am chasing a problem with my Icom IC-735. Operating CW in full breakin
split, it chirps. On semi-breakin, only the first character chirps. I
have isolated the problem to the main synthesizer loop which is not
supposed to be getting its divider changed, but gets mixed with the
sub-loop (fine loop) and is supposed to track it. The fine loop is not
chirping, but the coarse loop is. I have checked the beta of the charge
pump and loop filter transistors and replaced the phase detector. I did
an alignment, all of which has not helped at all. It does this on all
bands, so the VCO shouldn't be the problem.
Has anyone run into this problem? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

If you wish to run the risk, yes, the radio can be modified. It will then
be in violation of the FCC type approval. Here in Australia the IC-R8500
covers its spectrum without a break, as do all the Icom HTs and mobiles.

Hi Phil,
There is a keyboard sequence that you can follow that will open up the
RX of the IC-T7A.
While holding down the "MONI" and "BAND" keys, press the "POWER" key
to turn the unit on.

1)Has anyone used the rear panel connector (the DIN one) for 9600 baud
packet? Am currently using it for 1200 baud with a PK232-MBX and
thinking about upgrading to a faster unit.
2)Do any of the log/rig control programs actually have provision for
controlling the 275H? I have CT ver8 and it controls some Icoms, but
not mine. BTW, my computer is an XT clone, so I'm somewhat limited
as to software that can be used.

Connect sprectrum analyzer to ant port 1 thru suitable
attenuator; Freq 14.100, mode USB and LSB, no signal to mic
connector. Place in TX mode and adjust R191 and R193 repeatedly.
It doesn't say so, but I imagine if you have changed the ssb
carrier point it should be reset to zero before adjustment.
Good luck.

The IC-25A is Amateur Band Only
Yes built in about 1982 to 1984 or 85. Was not designed with possiable
modification in mind. The programming is fixed within the CPU and it can not

I just rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee for a business trip from MA to PA...was
reall dissapointed at the noise. S9 on 40 meters made it almost unusable!
I'm assuming that the fuel pump is not the only source in the Jeep as when the
ignition is turned on without the engine running the fuel pump should turn off
after it builds a pressure. My GMC S-15 turns off after the pressure comes
up but at least it's quiet RF wise except for the occasional "pop" when it
comes on...

Got the info. The Icom 706E version is for Europe (Tone burst etc.)
The Icom 706J is the Japan version (50 watts on 6 meters).
The Icom 706 MARK II is a updated version of the 706E that was designed
for the European Market but never has been produced.I was told it would
include 4 1/2 meters for the British.(100 watts)
The 706A version that the gentleman saw on a dealers price list may
designate "American Version"? Also, it could mean "A Stock" which is
brand new sealed box verses "B Stock" which is slightly used.(opened
box). Finally, it could mean that Icom has a new updated version of the
rig. This could be like the Icom 737 the the Icom 737A that fixed the
bugs in the earlier version. This "A" version showed up just one year
after the original version was released. I will pass any info on as I
receive it. 73's NS1R Steven Hershman

Hmm .. I am running my ICOM 820E with 70ms txdelay without any problems
for more than two years now. It would prefer a much lower dx-delay, but
then I have to use a radio with crystals and not one with a PLL; that's it.
All what I have done for the installation was, following the instruction of
the user manual, connect the TNC and to figure out the lowest dx-delay value,
that is possible. 60ms is a little bit to low, but 70ms works fine. Since
the first day it runs and runs and runs and runs ..
BTW: Around my QTH we have some 9600 "digis" and I can't remember any problem
to connect one of them at any time of the day and to transfer long files
with excelent bytes/sec rates (when I am the only one who is connected, of
course :-)
But mostly I use it for beeing connected into the next DX-Cluster, hihi.

QST Reported that the 820 was the best 9600 bd ready radio on the market
today - That might need to be qualified as 'best PLL 9600 bd ready radio on
the market'. They did a review on these earlier this year. They also
included the TEKK which is also at the top as a crystal control radio - a
comparison of those would be good.
At work now so I can't be as specific as I would like - e-mail me and I'll
send you the date of QST or type up a quick summary.

Icom offers an automatic antenna tuner with the IC-706. They have another
model which is larger, which the catalog says is "for long wire antennas."
What is the difference in capability between these tuners?

I've had one since May 1996 with reasonable results. I've since added
the HM-53 mic, cp-12 DC adapter, and bought an extra battery. There
have been no failures or glitches. The only thing I might do
differently is opt for the IC-7T to include 440 Mhz at about $100
more.
I've checked the transmitter into a Bird load and it makes its rated
power plus a little more. The HT will get very hot on extended
transmit. I got too nervous holding the key down over 45 seconds at
13.8 VDC input and 5.5 watts out. I believe hot ht's on extended
transmit is typical for most HT's. It never gets more than warm
though under my normal operation.
The receive audio for such a small speaker is very good and transmit
audio reports are good. I think the design of the HT fits my hand and
pocket quite well. Memory channels can be expanded to 80 if you don't
use the alphanumeric channel display. When my wife got her license I
put her callsign in the display's sign-on message. This is a nice
vanity touch!
One irritation: I see these advertised as AM aircraft receive ready
"by a simple keypad modification". I can't find anyone including
my dealer who knows how to do this! I've got a scanner for these
freqs that I never listen to so I shouldn't care.
I've not had to deal with ICOM so I can't comment on correcting any
service problems that might occur though others gripe about slow
service.

To enable AM aircraft receive:
Hold down # key, Mr/B key, and function key at the same time and turn
power on. Wait about two seconds and you are good to go. You can also
now go into the set mode and change the PL setting to 100 which will give
you full frequency input (i.e. all digits must be input). I find the
latter feature very helpful in flipping between the ham bands and the
aircraft band.
My T22 is very hot on the airband following this keyboard modification.
Let me know if you have problems. 73, Dave AA5NU

Wow, that was quick! I just wrote a reply to your previous post
extolling the virtues of the T-22.
I remember this feature! However it will program above MR10. Page 17
of the manual does allow channels to 40 if you use alphanumerics or 80
channels with just frequencies displyed. I use 80 channels.
1. set data for the desired channel in VFO mode....frequency, offset,
power level, CTCSS etc.
2. Push and hold the function button...while holding the function
button press the MW/MR button quickly and verify that the MR
display icon is flashing....while still holding the function button
you can rotate the DIAL switch to select the MR channel to write
the VFO information into.
3. You're still pushing the function button...push and hold the MW
(memory write) button for about 1 second. The radio beeps twice
quickly and the VFO information is written to the MR channel.
Now you can let go of the function button!
Now that I remember this, I seriously was thinking I had a defective
unit. I fooled around with it for quite soem time before the
procedure was clear.

My Icom W21AT handheld has been having a chronic problem with
its keypad going bad. The symptom is always the same: the
lower row of keys start to lose sensitivity to touch and have
to be hit two or three times before they take effect, and then
gradually fail completely. This is the *third* time it's
happened in its three years of life. I had it fixed, the first
time under warranty and the second for $$, at yearly intervals
by Icom in Bellevue. Now, after the usual one year, it's done
it again.
Is this fault common with that particular Icom model?
Do I just have a lemon?
The W21AT is a nice dual band radio which I'd like to keep,
but it doesn't look cost effective to have to replace the
keypad yearly. Icom's repair techs are competent, I'm sure,
so can't attribute the failure to bad repair, twice. The
RF performance is excellent, so unless there's an apparant
solution, I'll just have to use it as a single freq
repeater or packet radio, and never touch the keypad.
Guess I don't need all those bells & whistles anyhow.
But it would be nice to be able to switch bands(the
band button is on the bottom row, of course).

Press and hold down the BAND and SQUELCH keys and while holding these two,
press the POWER ON button. Hold all three for 5 seconds or so. This should
lite up most of the display and that's OK, just rotate one of the dials on top
and you're in business. Receive now goes from about 100 Mhz up to 999 Mhz,
....AND..... with remarkably good sensitivity.

Having done the receiver opening modification, do you find your W32A
is more intermod prone? My W31A seems to be very poor at rejecting
intermod and the sensitivity is less than I had expected. Perhaps I
should trade it in on the newer model?

I went from Tech to Extra this year. My primary means of preparing myself
for the code test was a computer program. I happen to use a Mac computer
but many good programs are available as shareware for all the popular
computers.
I liked the computer because I could adjust the speed and tempo sperately.
Using a cassette tape you are locked in to the way it is recorded.
The program I used also allowed me to construct text to be sent or to send
random text.
I am having a ball now working CW.
Good luck,
73,
Rik

Richard,
I used a combination of methods. I began learning the characters using
the computer. I then started making my own cassette tapes using Super Morse.
I had Super Morse setup to use my sound card and hooked that into a
cassette recorder. I just put it into random QSO mode and let the cassette
recorder do it's thing.
I listened to the tapes on my daily commute to/from work. I would kick up
the speed by 1 wpm everytime I could copy 75% of the code in my head. It
wasn't too long before I was copying 13 wpm w/o any problems. I also received
lots of on the air practice. This is where I got the most bang for the buck.
Getting on the air and experiencing *real* QSO's really helped increasing my
code speed.
Get yourself started by passing element 1a. Then get on 40m sometime and
start sending CQ until someone responds. If someone comes back too fast for
you, just send "PSE QRS". Any good operator will be glad to slow down.

The method that worked for me was tapes and listening to actual QSOs on
the air. Always buy the set of tapes for the speed level HIGHER than the
level you are working for. For example, if you are working toward 5wpm,
then buy the 13wpm tapes in addition to the 5wpm. Practice with pencil
and paper with the 5wpm, but listen to the 13wpm tapes in the car or in
bed. Listen to QSOs on the novice bands with paper and pencil whenever
you can.
Good Luck!

Agreed with the previous comments on this thread, but just want to add
my two pennies here...
I started out using the tapes. They worked fine at 5wpm for me because
I am "translating" the dits and dahs in my brain.
To pass the 13wpm, you will have to quit that "translation" process
and start "listening" those dits and dahs as characters.
For example, if you hear "da di da di", this is not "da di da di"
anymore. It's a "c". If you couldn't pass this stage, you will never
get to 20wpm.
Think of it as another language, where you first learn the sounds,
then the characters and then the whole word.
By the way, I passed my no-code in Apr and got my Advanced in Sept.,
just want to let you know that this is all possible. Some people have
a very good ear and some people don't. Unfortunately, I am the latter
type. But if I can do it, I am sure it's just a matter of time for you.

One thing about mercury vapor rectifiers - if you have had the rig on its side
or
upside down, run the filament power for at least 5 minutes before turning on t
he
high voltage to make sure all the mercury is vaporized. Unvaporized mercury i
n
the tube can cause bad things to happen.
My old Valiant II had fuses in both power leads, and occasionally a flashover
in the
866 mercury vapor tubes would blow both of them. If you fuse the power lines,
(but not the safety ground!), that may help protect your transformer.

What I ment to say was that unvaporized mercury on the FILAMENT of the tube
can cause problems when the high voltage is applied. I think it damages the
emissive coating on the filament. That's why extra warm up time is required w
hen
the tube has been tipped over.

Hi,
I'm on the market for dual-bander with cross-band feature and detachable face,
and I'm looking at Kenwood TM733A or Yaesu FT5200. Kenwood can be bought for
*very* attractive price now, Yeasu is at least $100 more. Feature set seems to
be very similar, although Kenwood has probably more. But, they say Yaesu is
much better in cross-mod and inter-mod interference rejection, and it *looks*
more rugged (for instance, Kenwood has RJ-45 mic plug, and Yaesu uses stanfard
screw mic connector), so I'm at loss -- is Yeasu really better, is it worth
the money? ...
I'd appreciate some opinions, either posted or mailed to me, and I'll
summarize.
Thanks a lot,
serge

I've got tm733 and ft5100... One time tm733 was more expensive than
ft5100 but now.. :-)
I think that tm733 is better for that price :-> (and it is 9600 ready:)

I have a Kenwood TM-732 Dual Bander, when I changed the lithium battery
a strange thing has happened. The radio has gone into the A.LOCK or ALL
LOCKED State and I cannot reset the radio. Yes I have tried powering
the radio up while depressing the vfo/lock key with no help still
locked. Does anyone know of a way to do a hard reset on this radio.

Hold down the lock button while you power it up and it will remove the A
from all lock. The you can use the function/lock combo to remove the
lock or reset it, your choice...

Try holding M/MR button while powering up. If this does not work try
holding VFO button while powering up. Gud Luck.

I am looking for the external VFO and the Two meter transverter for the
Kenwood TS-520S. Does any one know a source and price.
I am interested in doing some sattelite work with this equimpent. Right
now I am using a Ten-Tec Scout for the 15 meter uplink and the 520s for
the 10 meter downlink. It works reasonable well on RS-12 but thats
about it.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

My TS850 display sometimes takes a 5 or so seconds to light up when you
turn it on and also some of the characters darken from the bottom of the
character up somewhat after it's been on a few hours. It's still very
readable...just annoyning.
Is there any fix for this? Replacement of the display unit only? Is it
expensive?
Thanks, Chuck, KE9UW

I am having the same problem. When I turn on xcvr, the display will have
dots for a number of seconds. Then I wull get cw UL a few times.
Eventually, I will get some static noise and following that it will work
ok. I did a "reset" and it seemed to work slightly better for a little
while, but still not fixed. Can anyone provide more more detail on how
to fix the problem?

You need a TTL to RS232 level converter chip. They are available from
either Mouser or DigiKey. They come with a suggested hookup or it is
available and they run on 5v usually (I dont have the book in front of
me).

Desmond,
I have an Icom 901 (which is the follow on) and the only problem that I ha
ve
encountered that sorta sounds like yours is that the fiber optic cable
sometimes works back out of the connecter, causing a mis-alignment with
the sensors in the radio or remote box.

ICOM's service is $75.00 per hour plus parts and return shipping with one hour

45.00 is applied to the repair should you elect to have it done. If you
refuse, ICOM keeps the $ 45.00 as there is a cost to time spent working up an
estimate and associated paper work that goes with logging in a service radio.

I have a IC-900 that I have used for many years with no problems
except for one that nearly drove me bats. Make sure that the
middle connector in the mike cable to the A unit is NOT touching
something that is grounded. Instant audio problems if it is.
For the jumping problem, make sure that the fiber cable is properly
inserted at both ends. Hope this helps.

Greetings All!
Does anyone know if the following exists and if so, where I might
find it?
I'm looking for a software package that will allow a desktop computer
act as a repeater controller. Ideally, the software will support a
sound card to provide IDs (both voice and CW), voicemail and other
functions similar to the RC-850's DVR.
I see little reason why a modern computer could not provide nearly all
the functions of the very best controllers currently available at a
fraction of the cost.
Thoughts anyone? Thanks!
Ron (N9QYQ)
FWIW, I may try to "roll my own" but would hate to reinvent the wheel
considering my programming skills are not up to date.

There is one on the market called the PCRC (PC Repeater Controller...what
a novel name!)....BUT it is NO cheaper than any other controller...you do
get voice mail and digital voice included....
they advertise in 73, CQ and Im not sure of QST...havent seen them
there..
They are in NY state and I have some more info somewhere on them...they
do have a dialup BBS at 516-286-1518 you can probably request info from.
BTW a PC is not a good idea since it is NOT made for certain RF
applications and enviroments....a single board controller built for the
conditions it must handle is better than a PC controller....and since a
PC does just run off 12 Volts DC (well laptops can but not desktop styles
without mod), thats causes a slight problem at a rptr site....the rest of
the system can run off a battery...but the PC must use an UPS?

Subjects just about says it all. I'm trying to locate a PC program (DOS based
is fine) which will take serial port input from the GC1000 clock and set the
PC time.
Does anyone have such a program or, perhaps, the program HeathKit (R.I.P.)
used to supply?
Many thanks,

The clock was not set by an external program from the PC port. It would set
itself by listening to WWV on either 5, 10, or 15MHz. The clock contains a
scanning receiver. The display would stay black until it had received WWV long
enough to be confidant the time was correct. This could take many hours at
first. You did need to set the dip switch inside to tell the clock the time
zone you were in.
By the way Heathkit is still in Benton Harbor, MI. You might want to look them
up.

There was a company manufacturing a handi-talkie, about two watts for 20
meters and 40 meters. It is battery operated and supposedly sold now
only in Japan; although it was offered for sale for a short time in the
U.S.
I think the brand might have been "MIZULA" or something similiar.
Does anyone know where I might obtain one of these worthless and
impractical toys?

I'm having a problem reading messages on this NG, when I connect to the NG
it will show X# of messages not downloaded. It then downloads them as it
should except that it automatically marks them as read. I have to then
change my view setting to see all messages, and scan through the cache to
find the new messages. I monitor eight NG's and I have this one and one
other that are acting this way. I'm using
MS Internet News. Anyone else have this problem?
Any Ideas on fixes?

QST QST QST DE KC6TBA. Does Anyone have the MOD for the Yaesu
747GX? I bought the book of Mods, but it only has 747, not the
Golf-Xray. The pics in the book look nothing like the inside of my

General Coverage Mod for YAESU FT-747GX
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Remove top cover.
2) On backside of display unit, there is a brown jumper
wire near the large ribbon cable.
3) Cut the brown jumper wire.
4) Turn the radio on and set the frequency to 12,345.6 KHz,
then turn the radio off, then on again.
5) This enables the general coverage mode and a GEN display
will come on and stay on at the top of the LCD display.
6) Reassemble the unit. It will now transmit everywhere it
receives, however, Yaesu recommmends that it only transmit
between 1.8 - 30 MHz.
Disclaimer: I'm passing this on from someone who owns one of these and
has done the mod. I have not done or tested this mod. You do it

Has anyone sucessfully performed any of the published mods for this
radio? I performed the RIT-XIT mod and it works fine now, but the mod at
the U1208 chip, as indicated in the KF2AT / KB2JPD posting in the various
radio mod sites, does not work for me. I cut the trace at pins 28 and 29
of U1208 as prescribed, and installed the 10K resistor to the +5V supply,
which was suppose to permit extended reception from 26.0 to 30.0, yet the
rig continues to maintain its original limits. The posting has one
obvious error - although the instructions refer to the U1208 chip as
IC401, the circuit board identifies the U1208 as IC402. IC401 is the
Sharp chip across the same board. It has no pins tied as described, and
is a different package altogether. I received one message by E-Mail
indicating that I don't have the Uniden U1208 chip (despite having that
label on this actual IC), and that the pins to cut and jumper via the
pulldown resistor are pins 20 and 21, which are also tied together.
These two pins apparently connect to an electrolytic cap, not as
described. I have not attempted that suggestion, due to lack of
confirmation.
If anyone has actually successfully modified a Realistic HTX-100 for
extended frequency reception, please let me know how it was done. I
believed at one time that all published mods were tested first - now I am
beginning to wonder...

I am interrested in a mod for the Drake TR22. I am told that this mod
involved changing the driver transistor to increase the output. I was
also told that this mod may have been featured in the 1970's in QST. Any
info would be appreciated. Thanks, Allen

Hi folks,
Are there any mods available for the Heathkit SB1000 Linear? I am just
about to put an original kit together and before I do I'd be interested
in alterations ie use on 6m by dropping out say 160m, alternative taps
on the pi network coil for 17m and 12m operation without compromising
15m and 10m too much, electronic bias switching etc. Any known hiccups
with the linear to be aware of?
Many thanks
Duncan

Hi!
I am thinking about purchasing two Motorola MX340's (2 channel UHF) used
to go along with my current Uniden GMR100's (8 channel UHF GMRS). Does
anyone have any comments about the Motorolas? Will these two radios
work together alright?

They should work if the frequencies are the same. How much money are you
looking to spend on the radios. There's a site that sells the Maxdn 210+3
for 209. and they are 2 watts w/ repeater channel access. His site is
http:/www.eskimo.com/~antenna/index.html. Motorolas radios also look well
constructed. There site is http:/www.mot.com/.

The MX340ÇS version is synthesised and the PROM or EEPROM codeplugs are
difficult to find (that's why you see these radios for $25-$100 at a
hamfest). If you purchase the S version make sure you also have codeplugs
and an R1800 available to burn them on. Crystals for the channel element
versions can be found from several sources. The MX-300 series are excellent
radios.

But the EEPROMS are still avaible from Mother Motorola. At least
according the the new parts pricebook I just got....
What I have found is just no one wants to bother with programming them
anymore.

Yep they are. Rock solid, made a good weapon, and worked forever!
Of course, I prefer my JT1000...(G)

I was discussing a couple of nights ago, the club repeater on the

Next time up there for school, I will have to remember to try it!

I'm trying to come up with a method of controlling the power to some equipment
.
I've experimented with capacitors and relays, but can't come up with something
that is as dependable at 35 farenheit as in 120 farenheit (i.e. winter
overnight to summer mid-day) - it's for a mobile application.
I could use a 555 driving 3 "D" type flip flops, or some firmware in a
PIC processor, but I was thinking that there has to be a simple way that
I'm overlooking.... Maybe I've been at this stuff too long...
Heres the requirements - I suggest that you use a monospaced font
(like Courier) to view this timing diagram. The timing resolution that
I need is about 1/4 to 1/2 second between signal rises and drops (it's
not that critical), and current handling of under 500ma per output. I
have circuitry that will handle everything but the actual sequencing.
The control signal:
+5v or +12v-----+ +----------
! !
! !
gnd +-------------------------------------+
Output A: (makes first, drops last)
+5 or +12v +-----------------------------------------------+
! !
! !
gnd-------------+ +-----
Output B: (makes 2nd, drops 2nd)
+5 or +12v +--------------------------------------+
! !
! !
gnd-----------------+ +-----
Output C: (makes last, drops first, i.e. when the control signal goes inactive
)
+5 or +12v +-----------------------------+
! !
! !
gnd---------------------+ +----------
Anyway, any help will be much appreciated.

Help I need a Relay !!! I own this older 10 meter/6 meter amplifier
(AfterBurner Model# 403) and it has been in the closet for a few years so I
took it apart and thought I should clean the relay (it looked kinda dirty)
Well, after the file treatment things don't seem to be as flat as they
should and now the realy shoots sparks when you key up. So know I went on
this search in the net and can't find nothing about a Relay. I even check
all the parts catalogs I have and nobody has a simple Relay. Can Anybody out
there help me find the right parts people? If so please help me I need a
Relay and I need a new parts catalog Thanx :)

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. Some of the URL's arent
resolving yet and some in reformating the text are doing funny things. But
I am still working on it
73's

Does anyone know what became of McKay Dymek ?
I need a user manual for the DR22 All Wave receiver, and the location
and numbers listed in the service manual no longer work.
No idea what sort of fuse it takes, or wires that connect it to it's
other components.

I have a Kenwood TS-690SAT that has only the stock filters. I'm looking
for advice on which filters you find most useful, and what source you
would recommend. If there are high-quality filters available from other
manufacturers that you would recommend, please let me know. Thanks for
sharing you experience.

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.

Hello Dave, I am going to buy a radio. The ones I have been looking at
are the Yaesu 8500 and the Kenwood V7A. In your opinion which is a better
buy. I am going to use it for a crossband repeater mostly. How is the
computer interface and software?

I've played around with my new Kenwood V7A Dual Bander to find
some undocumented features.
1) Hold down the outer two (of four)front buttons and turn
on the radio. The screen blanks - then press CALL.
A letter '2' appears on the screen. Don't have a clue
what this is all about. Let me know if you do.
2) Hold down the F key and turn power on. Unit will enter
some kind of demo mode upon each power up. Repeat to
turn off.
3) Hold down small CTRL button and turn on. Unit goes into
EXTERNAL lock mode. To turn off, repeat prevous step.
Don't know what this is.
4) I have found some TM-733 key sequences work but not all.
If you have any more info (like remote DTMF control by radio)
let me know. The unit setup features are accessed in selectable
menus. Press MNU then turn the tuning knob to see each setup
screen.
Nice unit. Anybody else got one?

Hello all,
I recently paid $1300 for a TS450Sat, brand new from HRO. I
like mine, and prefer to own a new radio. I've been seeing alot of
them lately that have not been owned long enough to even be called
"used" for $850-$1000. Does anyone have any ideas why the radios
are for sale so soon after purchase, and what (if anything) the
original purchasers are doing in the way of a replacement for HF?
Thanks es 73's

I've had a TS450-SAT for almost three years and it has been a fine performer f

favorably reviewed in QST a year or so before I bought mine. Several other ha

area also have a 450 and are pleased. The above would hardly qualify as a bro
ad sampling
of users but I would never the less be surprised to hear of any major problems
with the
rig.
I was at Universal Radio in Columbus in early November and saw/played with the
new KNWD
570. The clerk in the store said they had been selling a ton of them. So may
be that's
what people are doing, upgrading from the 450 to the 570 to get the DSP.

I think a lot of people are upgrading to the new TS-570D. It is a lot
more radio for just a little more in price. I had a TS-450 as my first
rig and really liked it. I sold it to upgrade to a FT-1000MP.

Hi,
I looking for a antenna to use for portable operations when I travel or
go on vacation. The Outbacker series of antennas look real good because
then cover 80 to 10 with no tuner. There are a bit pricey ($300 for a
whip)! I was wondering if anyone can give me any feedback on there
experiences. I will not be using it in a car.
Thanks,
Kory

Kory,
I like my Outbacker - It seems to be very durable. Also - You may not
know - they make a version that comes apart in 2 - 3 foot sections
I also understand they have done one in three sectons.
You could mark the adjustable tip for different band allocations 40
and 80 are narrow
Don't forget the ground and the surrounding area will affect any
antenna's tuning...
Still it is easy to tune..

I am parting out a Heath SB-102 HF transceiver. Do you need any parts
to repair your Heath rig? Most of the electrical parts are the same in
the SB-100/101/102 and HW-100/101 rigs.
The following parts are NOT available, so don't ask:
- Meter (I do have one with a bad face and good movement, however)
- Plate and load capacitors (I'm using them in a HB 807 transmitter)
- Tubes
- Plate tank coil
- VFO dial (it was shattered already)
- CW filter (put it in another rig)
- Filter selecting lever knob (it was broken anyway)
- Crystals (all have been sold to other Heath owners)
- RCA jacks from rear panel
- Rubber drive belts (they were rotted)
The LMO works, but tuning was real scratchy, indicating either worn out
or dirty bearings on the tuning capacitor inside.
I do have nearly all of the internal parts still available. The front
panel is not in great shape, but it's usable. The markings are faded,
but the paint's not too bad. The cabinet is dent-free and the paint
is in fair condition. Good restoration candidate.
Email me with your parts needs.

Hi,
I just received a hf amp that i need some info and help on. Perhaps
someone out there can help me. The front panel is marked:
Penetrater
amateur bi-linear
HB-1000
base amplifier
There is a tag on the back with the markings:
AMC-OMM
730 west McNab road
FT.LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA
33309
SERIAL NUMBER 0302
This amp has a pre amp. The pre amp works ok but when the amp is
excited shows no increase in output (into a dummy load). I was told when
I received it that either the pre amp or amp didn't work. Not having a
schematic or any info, I am having trouble trouble-shooting the problem.
If anyone has a schematic, info on trouble-shooting, general info on
the amp, or can be of any help, I would be most appreciative.

A friend of mine put a module from RF Concepts in his 2AT, and
made some type of hole in the case to select the tone to be
encoded. He said it worked very well. I don't know the details.

Dale,
It's very common for folks to use the Com Spec SM-32 tone encoder. It's
thin as a credit card and kinda made for that type application. You can
also cut a square out for the BCD frequency switch on the back panel or fix
the frequeny (easier to do) and leave it.
I've go the latter going myself and seen many of both.

Call Communications Specilists in Orange, CA and order the SS-32-SMP tone
encoder. You will need to install some dip switches so you can externally
adjust the CTCSS tone setting. The SS-32-SMP works great in the IC-2AT. Comm
Spec also has an install application note.

I've installed many. I use the ComSpec's SS-32SMP unit. easy to install and c
an be a fixed PL or by adding a
small 5sw Dip to the case you can field program any of the 32 common PL tones.

You aren't gonna like it, but I was very pleased with my experience
with ALINCO. I have an old DJ-160. Well, I basically screwed the
thing up by hooking it up to phone lines (through the mic jack),
dropping it, and accidentally breaking the little Battery tabs.
Eventually, it wouldnt hold a charge, so I called Alinco.
I sent in my Radio (The battery pack was super-glued on) to
them and they sent me the "Estimate" in about a week. The price was
fair, considering what I had done to it. (I could have salvaged the
radio and got a measly $25) So I payed about $100 and they said they
would fix everything. I damaged the speaker, the Lithium Battery, the
Front Panel was all dented and scratched. I took the estimate to HRO
and they said, "It sounds like they're taking off the antenna and
putting a new radio underneath." They had to replace the battery. I
AUTHORIZED the order and requested that they send it back with the EBP
12 (The 12v 5 Watt Battery) instead of the EBP10 that it had.
In just about another week, they sent it back next-day air and
I took it out. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that
they DID give me a new radio. The thing looked brand new. After I
charged it up (THE 5 Watt Batt was included NO CHARGE), I got on the
air and found everything worked! It was MOD'ed and they left that
alone... I could tell it was my same radio because my name was
engraved on back. I've had no problems since.
Basically, I SCREWED UP my rig, and ALINCO MADE IT LIKE-NEW
for FAR LESS THAN A NEW RIG (that I would have to get used to) WOULD
COST.
I was very pleased with Alinco's service. My rigs are an
Alinco DJ160, a Yaesu747GX, and a Yaesu2200. I have found no inherent
bugs in any of those and would recommend the two brands to anyone. I
bought the DJ160 and Yaesu2200 because I thought the other brands were
either too expensive (Kenwood) or UGLY (Icom's look like bricks). I
was pleased with the radios' unspecified features. (Did you know that
the DJ160 Handheld came with a TOUCHTONE DECODER? It'll show you the
last touchtones that it recieved, up to 16 characters!. It's great
for autopatch and other times when you want to DECODE DTMF and DISPLAY
it.)
Anyway, not to digress further, ALINCO WAS GREAT TO ME. The rig was
out of warranty and they didn't send me away. I found that just being
polite and patient go a long way. Not to judge, but we should not
just take people's opinion because they have a bad experience and can
use the immediacy of the InterNet to "Get Back" at Manufacturers.
73 to ALL.

Hello and thanks for reading.
I have a Zenith TO A-600, and it hears well on 31m, until I get to the
right side of the dial when things get very quiet....until I put my
hand *near* the aerial, which enhances reception 100%. Actually touching
the aerial raises the noise floor big-time.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Kind regards
Harry

Anyone interested in discussing the finer points of RACAL 6790 and
6790/GM receivers? I suddenly find myself in the business of owning and
repairing a couple of them. The GM definitely had a bad first mixer and
it looks like the 6790 may have suffered the same fate, along with a
bevy of other problems. I've seen some advertised as "poor sensitivity"
and now wonder if this is a weak point. Has anyone had any success
opening the first mixer module and repairing it? Also, what was the
optional front-end protection that is mentioned in the manual? I was
thinking about placing a low-voltage gas tube (or neon lamp) across the
antenna input and placing a 1.5V, 25mA lamp in series with the antenna
input. I've seen this applied in various receiver designs over the
years.

You can get it new from RS for $79 at most hamfests. Just ask, their price
protection policy kicks in. I've had mine for four months and haven't had
any problems. I even get a boost of one to two S-units compared to not
having it inline. This is the same amp (I believe) that RS used to sell
but put out 45 watts. If I can figure out which is the "Top" of the
schematic, I may find the resistor supplying voltage to the final and
replace it with a smaller one to increase the output power. Anybody good
at this?

I just noticed a new little oscilloscope probe at Radio Shack for use with
a computer. It has a LCD display capable of a 5mhz scale and can display
up to 20mhz when used with a computer. Cable and Software were included
($100).
Has anyone tried this one out? I'm curious if it actually works very well.

I ended up replacing my RS iron with a hakco solder station. :) Of
course my RS iron was usally the 6 dollar type. :) Know the one your
talking about, haven't seen one in years. I'd pickup a weller or
something. They'll last for years.

I believe Ungar made the RS soldering irons. The base of the heating
element is in fact the same as a 110v xmas bulb. Makes a handy drop
light in a pinch. The tip I believe was a 1/4"-20 thread.
Check Mouser, MCM, etc. I known I've seen replacement tips that would
work.

Yeah...I feel your pain. I'd much rather spend hours and hours finding a
replacement tip than buying a whole new soldering iron for $6.99. When I
had the same problem I sent messages to several newsgroups and contacted
many manufacturers in writing and via telephone.
But I do offer words of encouragment. After several days of effort and
several e-mails, phone calls, and letters, I was able to find a
replacement element, shipped by Acme, for $12 plus $3 S&H. I figure that
if you count the value of my time, plus my expenses, I spent about 650
bucks but it's a hell of a lot better than letting "big business" take
advantage of me!
Hang in there!

Hi Ron,
Sounds like the old Ungar irons. I've noticed that Mouser carries Ungar.
You might try them. (800) 346-6873.

The originals were Ungar; Cooper bought Weller, and Weller bought Ungar,
although maybe not in that order. I used the handle as a trouble light
once, but the bulbs (Xmas tree = standard candelabra screw, I believe) are
fragile!!

getting the audio to sound ok, also need to know what programming
needs to change in the repeater.
NOTE For those who think I am wrong... Yes I said MASTR 3... the new

Hi,
I'm on the market for dual-bander with cross-band feature and detachable face,
and I'm looking at Kenwood TM733A or Yaesu FT5200. Kenwood can be bought for
*very* attractive price now, Yeasu is at least $100 more. Feature set seems to
be very similar, although Kenwood has probably more. But, they say Yaesu is
much better in cross-mod and inter-mod interference rejection, and it *looks*
more rugged (for instance, Kenwood has RJ-45 mic plug, and Yaesu uses stanfard
screw mic connector), so I'm at loss -- is Yeasu really better, is it worth
the money? ...
I'd appreciate some opinions, either posted or mailed to me, and I'll
summarize.
Thanks a lot,
serge

I have some older coaxial two position switching boxes.
BRAND NAME OF SYSTEM:Inline Instruments Inc. TYPE 105
COUPLER AND SWITCH.
I need help finding/ understanding replacement parts for it.
The DC switching voltage is applied to Coax at radio end.
The DC is isolated from antenna and radio with capacitors at each
end.
The DC 12vdc power supply is isolated from RF by A COIL in coupler.
A SPECIAL COIL!
Keep in mind this COIL must isolate a range of frequencies from
1.5 to 180 mhz and stay high impedance threw range.
Mine has taken to much current or lighting strike.
This COIL is a possible PIE COIL?
It has what looks like three donuts on a air tube form.
I assume this series multipul coil arrangement helps break up
resonant possibilites, unlike a single coil?
WHAT IS THIS COIL AND HOW DO I FIND ONE?
WHAT WOULD BE IT'S VALUE AND CURRENT RATING.
Paperwork of defunked company rates power of system at 1250 watts CW.
2500watts PEP.
Thanks for interest in helping,

I hav a 1995 Nissan Maxima
a TS50, AT50 and Outbacker (6 ft)
After the 30K Transmission inspection etc.... I found myself with a
very high (S3) level of broad band noise on 40 meters (not 80 or 20)
A sniffer loop indicates the noise is coming from around the
transmission housing
Anyone know what could cause this?
How to eliminate it - It wasn't there before...
Also - I notice my ignition noise comes and goes.
The tailpipe has been grounded by 1 inch braid to the bumper and tied
to the chassis
Any suggestions in this are are also appreciated

My 93 Max is pretty quiet. Nothing, however, beat my 93 Mercedes 190.
Mercedes has some very tough EMI specs for their components.
I do hear a white noise that comes and goes that I thought was connected
with the climate control. Goes up to
S3 and back down to nothing. Not sure where it comes from though. Is not
a real problem.

When I read the review, John Wilson was emphasising its great RF
performance in comparison to the other Taiwanese made portables within
the same price bracket. I am very interested in buying this reciever
but I would like to investigate the meaning of RF performance in
relation to HF recievers.
To make a comparison I have the budget reciever Sangean ATS-803A.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone familiar with this term could
explain it to me and then try to context it with listening performance
and advantages against such models of radio like I have presently.
I would like to obtain this final 'piece' of information before going
to buy !
Thanks alot for your time and help

I have recently aquired one of these - not working!! Does anyone have
any information _ block diagram or circuit diagrams would help but a

does anybody of you know about some ASCII, PostScript or

I tried Yaesu's "literature request page", but it yielded no results.

Try Marlin P Jones Assoc. for the switchers. He has a lot of surplus stuff,
cheap, including big 5V 35A Lambda switchers that you can series wire for 13.6
V.
Crank down the output on each to 4.5V or so. $14.95 ea.
Also has 9-18V in +/- 12V out @1A DC/DC converters that make a real nice
inverter to series regulate down to -19V to run surplus PLL bricks for
portable microwave transverters. $9.95 each.
Call for his catalog anyway - it's pretty good. 561-848-8236

Hi. I just got a great deal on a Standard C112 2M FM rig.
But it only covers the 144-146 MHz band!
Maybe I missed it in the manual, but is there a way to change it to
the 144-148 MHz promised on the spec page???
Tnx es 73,

I have to agree with you Ed. I just purchased a C508A and opened it up
just to "check it out". Very good construction! No cheap shortcuts in
it that I could find.

Well I don't have the tri-bander but, I have the c528a dual-bander. I
love it. It cheeper then most and has all the functions the the more
expensive ones had. ONe more thing I likes about it was the warranty!!

Glad to hear Standard's reputation has been restored...back in the
early '70's, their SR806M, SR826M and SR146 2-M radios all suffered
from *severe* intermod problems...virtually unusable in radio "pop-
ulated" areas. Oh, well, at least one could repair the radios of that
era. Nowadays you need a microscope, surface-mount workstation and
a copy of the uP's source code.

Hi Joel--
I have a Standard C108A. The receiver is very sensitive and well-behaved
across its entire tuning range. The transmitter has excellent audio
(albeit low power). Gotta say, it's the most fun I've had with an HT in a
long time! On the basis of this rig, I'd recommend Standard. However,
I'd also recommend looking up QST's comparative reviews for the particular
radio you want--the technical performance numbers may be helpful.

Trish,
Read the review in June 1996 QST, page 61. They liked it.
There have been many positive comments on this newsgroup. I'm
thinking of building one myself as an extra rig.

It is a good kit. If you want to build a kit radio, this is the one
to buy. But it is a pretty plain radio. If you want the most bang for
the buck, you'll go another way. There are two alternates. You can
retune commercial surplus radios. This gives you a very high performance
radio at a very low cost. Of course it will have even less features
and frills than the Ten-Tec. Or you can buy a Japanese radio. There
are several in approximately the Ten-Tec price range, and they offer
many more features and frills. A very few of them even offer better
performance than the Ten-Tec kit.

1200 baud is *barely* usable. It depends on your temperment and what
you want to do. For unattended Email forwarding, it is Ok. But for
many interactive uses it is intolerably slow. Unfortunately, it
represents the lowest common denominator among amateurs, so you'll
find yourself limited in the number of stations you can contact if
you get something faster. It will work through any voice grade FM
radio without modification. Having the jack on the back is a
convienence, but not a necessity. You can just hook a 1200 baud
modem to microphone and speaker connections instead.
Faster packet does exist. As a matter of fact, I was easedropping
on a couple of our 56 kb LAN users this afternoon while they were
exchanging live realtime digital video with CuCme. You can't do fast
packet with a voice grade FM radio anyway, you need a real RF modem
like the GRAPES modem, so you shouldn't let that drive your voice
radio choice.
OTOH, there is 9.6 kb packet. This *can* work through some, a
very few, voice grade radios, and many amateurs try. But most
of the so-called "9600 baud ready" voice radios are *not* in fact
suitable for 9600 baud operation. They have a connector labeled
"9600 baud", and advertising hype claiming they will work, but
they don't, and generally *can't* work properly at 9600 baud.
This is because of the way modulation is introduced into the
synthesizer loop. Again, a dedicated data radio, like the
inexpensive Tekk KS900, is the proper way to go, so don't let
this drive your voice radio choice either.

Has anyone built the Ramsey 440 MHz transciever, and used it successfully
for 9600 baud packet operation? Did it work as advertised, or are there
mods necessary to get it to work? Their catalog says "9600 - no problem".
Does that mean "works fine, no problem" or "no problem, not a chance"?
Anyone use one of these as the basis for a repeater? Can you use the
Tx and Rx side at the same time? I suspect that the synthesizer can only
handle one side at a time, but I've never even seen one of these rigs.
Anybody?
Thanks,
Ed Burress

I warned my wife not to ever buy any touch lamps, and what did she do?
She bought two of them, one is in our room, and one in my daughters
room. I have to unplug the lamps when I want to operate. We bought a
waterbed heater once which completely tore up my reception, we had to
get rid of it and get one of the old fashioned king. My suggestion is
to accidently lose the lamps one day!

Greetings;
Looking for a way to get this 2m transceiver to operate up near 150 MHz
- as it is it will only go to about 149 MHz.
Please contact me if you have any info that will be helpful.
Thanks in advance-

I recall an advert in the 1970s about a light-weight sweep tube 1 kW
HF-pa without a plate transformer. Probably it used a tripler or
quadrupler from line voltage. It soon disappeared from the magazines.
Does anybody know how good it was and how the power supply was built?

Sounds more like you might have a dirty connection in that circuit. If
you had fried a power tube you probably would not be getting anything
close to 100 watts out with a 1:1 swr. How does the output sound? Make a
contact locally and get an educated ear's opinion.

I'm looking at buying a new scanner for my truck, and the Uniden
BC-760XLT is the only one that will fit (sigh). I'm hoping to replace a
RS Pro-2026.
I'm considering this scanner because of the PL option, as it should serve
to eliminate interference problems I'm having. I attempted to call
Uniden Customer Service for clarification of this board, but they were
WORTHLESS (and rude).
I'm hoping someone on the net with this configuration can help.
1) If I have the tone board installed and turned on, can I program different
tones for different channels.
2) If I have the tone board installed and turned on, can I program certain
channels in PL decode mode, while others remain in CSQ (carrier squelch,
no PL) mode? Uniden said no, it's all or nothing, but I have a hard
time believing I can't just enter "0" for the PL for that channel.
3) If the scanner stops on a channel with the wrong PL, squelch won't open,
but will it sit there until the carrier drops, or interrogate the PL,
determine it's the wrong one, and then resume scanning?
Simple questions, or so I thought... Uniden was trying to tell me that
only channels in the 460MHz range had PL, and other such nonsense. I
wish I could blow them all off and install a Pro-2006 (sans PL, but the
triple conversion would do the interference elimination trick), but the
2006 is simply too big to fit in my small truck (Isuzu Trooper).
Any help would be most appreciated.

It'll resume scanning after a very brief delay.
The 760 is an excellent mobile scanner. With PL, it is great...if they
would put DPL in it, it would be almost unbeatable. I've owned two of
them.
If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help.

Hi,the BC760 is a great little scanner, we have owned one for some time
now. As to your questions about the functionality of the PL feature: You
can program any PL tone into any memory channel. If you don't wish to
use PL decoding on a given channel, simply enter 000. When the 760
scans, it will stop,very breifly, on an active channel. If it does not
see the correct tone, it will resume scanning again. This only takes
about 100 milliseconds.
If you must have DPL decoding, and you are handy with a soldering iron,
you can easily add this capability. While somewhat limited,permting
only one DPL code to be decoded, it primarily invloves adding a DPL/DCS
decoder module, like a Comspec DCS-23 in paralel with the tone input and
logic output of the exsisting decoder unit. The scanner's CPU doesn't
know the tone deocde logic flag is coming from a different tone unit, it
simply reacts to it in the same way it would to the PL decoder. We
orignally documented this in our (former) RCMA Journal column over a
year ago.

My father, who passed away last year, was an electronics hobbyist for
many years. In cleaning out his old equipment, I have found around 60
or 70 vacuum tubes. I am compiling an inventory of them. Many are still
in the box, so I presume they are unused, although I really have no way
to know about the condition of any of these. I am trying to find out if
they could be of value to anyone, and how much something like these might
be worth if sold. The money, of course, will be for my Mom. If anyone can
help, including giving me a hint who might buy such things, I would be
very grateful. Thanks. John Nicholson, Satellite Beach, Florida, email

That is what I thought and could not believe it. The unit is worth
aroung $3,300.00 and although it is a nice receiver it has one problem
in it that you should know about. It picks up its own computer all over
the place and it is not picking it up internally but externally through
the antenna lead in wire especially if it is not shielded. Even with
high quality shielded cable it still does it. Also the speaker wire
wire should be shielded as well. I had one and I got rid of it because
of the problem. In marine use I guess it was not considered a problem
which is what the radio was intended for.

Just a thought: how about using the a PC-based control program (assuming
this is one of the Omni's which support it) and coupling that to a
voice-synthesizer program connected to the sound card?
I've got this feeling that there is a shareware solution out there
somewhere, too.
Anybody know of one?

I have been away from the radio for a couple of years, but want to
get back in it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the new
features are, and what each one does. So I can buy the proper radio.
I am looking for a high-power (45W) 2-meter radio. Also what kind
of prices are these radios going for now?
Thanks and 73's,
Jonathan Visser (N9TJX)

Insert replacement would be $33.00 (Sanyo 12VDC 100ma)
Nickle Metal Hydride replacement insert is only $44.00.
You ship your battery to The Nicad Lady, and she replaces your cells.
She doesn't have entire cases/batteries for this particular battery
in stock at this time - but she does have the inserts.
Contact here in Southern California at 909-678-0943.
I have purchased both inserts and complete batteries from this firm, and
quality is great.

Andreas,
The FNB-4A 12v 500mA/H Nicad pack was still available from Yaesu Musen in
Japan as of mid 96, so it may be worth checking with your "local" Yaesu
distributor. The original FNB-3 and FNB-4 are no longer available, but the
4A was and is just a different colour (black insted of grey, from memory)
Hope this helps.
Chris,
VK2YUS.

John, I've seen a few in a magazine called Damark, but the one I finally
purchased is from Heartland America (another product clearance house
like Damark). It measures 8.5" wide, 5.5" deep, and 9.5" tall (about a
fourth of that height is the handle). It's got two 12VDC cigarette type
plugs on the front, and two terminal posts in the back (the unit also
came with some mini-jumper cable type cables for the posts). It also
came with an AC adapter/charger, and a cigarette lighter cable for
charging from the car. It has a power meter in the middle and seperate
on/off switches for each cigarette outlet on the front. Delivers
8amps/hour. Runs my 25watt mobile for days, and my cellular phone even
longer. $49.95 Heartland America 1-800-229-2901
regards,
Gary

Premier Communications ( http://www.adi-radio.com/ ) carries the
"Portable Power Station" a 12V-7ah model that also has outlets for
3V, 6V, and 9V @ 500 mA. They advertise it for $49.95. They also
carry a larger model, 12V-11ah, called the "Super Station" for
$99.95.
Hope this helps.

The Radio Shack 2m mobile rig has come and gone. It was HX212?
Anyway, what was the closeout price for these units?
How much would you pay for a used unit?
I found one for $160 used, but with no manual.

*YAWN* If you think your admission is *NEWS* you're more stupid than I
suspect. There's been untold thousands if not hundreds of thousands of
people that have turned an interest in amateur radio into a career as
a tech/engineer/etc. , if not just a satisfying hobby/service/pastime,
but it's *SHMUCKS* like you that appear to have no interest in
*LEARNING* anything other than how to turn it into a glorified CB band
that tends to *frost* people that enjoy/respect amateur radio.

I don't remember anything on the Tech or Novice exams which covered CTCSS
or DTMF signalling. I doubt the other exams (General/Advanced/Extra)
cover them either.
I really hate it when people "welcome" new hams like this...
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) aka PL (Private Line) aka CG
(Channel Guard) aka TSQ (tone squelch) and aka a few others I can't
remembe, is a system in which subaudiable tones are sent/received by
radios to access repeaters, or to keep things quiet(er) when using
simplex coms. Enough repeaters require CTCSS that you shouldn't consider
a radio without it. Decode is a nice option that many hams don't bother
with, but if you've got repeaters in your area that pass (or regenerate)
PL, it makes listening more enjoyable (less noise, squelch tail
elimination, etc).
Sub-audible tone scan is a function of radios with a PL decoder that is
capable of scanning for the appropriate tone.
DTMF paging is just that, a paging system that employs DTMF (touch tone)
to open the squelch.
Multi-band vs. single band... depends on your area and desires. In my
area (Central Coast of California), there are almost as many open 440
machines as there are 2m machines. I couldn't live without it. In other
areas, you'd likely be better off with 2m/220, or maybe 2m/1.2GHz...
Welcome to the hobby!

I don't care if you know the material or not. I don't know transistor
theroy very well but I still could design a tube circuit in a pinch.
In time you will learn what you need as you need it.
I am new to Chicago and have found CTCSS encoder is mandatory. Most
of the repeater are open but due to interferance are using "PL"
(Motorola term for this)(See the ARRL repeater guide as which PL are
being used on which repeater). Most new radios this is standard
feature. Some older radios are set up for it but you neew to buy of
build the encoder. Communication Specialist make several.
As for which radio to buy, several things will determine this. Budget,
ah yes, the almighty dollar. Single band radios run new between $300
and $600 dollars. Dual band between $450 and $850. It use to be
cheaer to buy a dual band radio instead of two single band radios.
Space, cars are smaller, but they were never that big. Multi-band
radios are more space efficient. Features, I like the new Standard
tri-band because it is more afforeable and it has 6-meters. The
Kenwood 642, 742, and 942 are moe flexable but slightly expensive
with options. Brand? Your guess is good as mine. My station is
divided among three primary manufactures. Kenwood, TenTec, and Ameco
(yes Ameco).
Pick a radio that has the features you want, a price you can afford
and then be flexable in case a good deal shows up on returned or
used equipment. I recommend bands in the following order base on
popularity. 2M, 440MHz, 220MHz, 1296 or 6M.
Good luck and 73's D. Pat Breeden WB3KUM/9 Zion, Ill.

These are all good questions, but I'm afraid from the replies below you may
get more noise than signal here...The internet seems to encourage bad
behaviour, unfortunately.
My recommendation is to find the local ham radio club and go to a few
meetings and get acquainted with some local folks. You will make some new
friends and learn a lot! I know that I have over the years. I'm sure you
will meet many who will give you better advice than what you will likely
receive here.

Welcome to a wonderful hobby.
I suggest you buy a 2 meter HT that has features YOU can understand.
Every brand of radio has its own concept of how a radio should work.
Only you can determine which one operates most like you think. Then
get on the air. Also as someone else said, look for local ham clubs.
Don't be surprized if you find that at one club many members are
enthusiastic about brand X; and at club two the members are equally
passionate about brand Y.
You will now get a lot of suggestions. After a while, you may have
enough info to give you a valid reason to spend more $$ one more features.
Ham radios tend to hold their value very well. So if you spend, say $300
on an HT, you should be able to get at least $200 back a year later. [I
am sure the net readers will have a lot of varying ideas on the exact
percentage.]
BTW, don't over look Radio Shack for a radio as a possible first HT.
They don't have all the features of some others, but that makes them
easier to use. Furthermore, virtually all the big brands design one radio
for hams, police, public service, etc, etc. then program them to tune
different frequency ranges. This is great if you like to use the radio
as a scanner and pick up the weather forecasts. However in a metropolitan
area, like Chicago, some HTs are prone to overload from transmitters not
in the ham band. RS HTs are tuned for the ham band only, which might be
a good thing.
Disclaimer: I don't own a Radio Shack HT, but 2 Kenwoods, a Yaesu, and a
Standard; all one band models. Sometimes I wish I had made my most
recent purchase an ICOM because the buttons are easier to read, but
there are conveneinces in working closely with some locals you also
have the same model I have.
Remember this is a hobby so make learning about the models and features
fun.
73, Paul

That is exactly the type of info that is useful to beginners. Usually
we buy something only to find out it has some annoying "feature" that
you can only find out by talking to others.
Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Hi!
I`m a norwegian dedicated air-traffic shortwave listener who have a
simple Sangean ATS 818, and would like a new (second hand?) and better
receiver. So I thought why not ask a guru. If you can find time to reply
on these questions, I`d be happy. If not, I understand...
Now the questions:
If I buy a receiver e.g. Yaesu FRG-100, Drake R8(A) or Lowe HF 215/225,
will I notice any difference? The problem now is that, during daytime,
the noise is dominating any possible signal. That is the case most of
the year.
Do you know if there is a scanning device integrated in any model?
And is it poosible to buy a second hand from anywhere?
Thank you in advice!

A product like this is made by Tokyo High Power. It operates on 40, 15, and 10
(maybe) meters. It used to be sold here in the US but now is not. There was a
QST article a year or so ago giving details about how to get one in the US. I
think the price was around $600.

There was a company manufacturing a handi-talkie, about two watts for 20
meters and 40 meters. It is battery operated and supposedly sold now
only in Japan; although it was offered for sale for a short time in the
U.S.
I think the brand might have been "MIZULA" or something similiar.
Does anyone know where I might obtain one of these worthless and
impractical toys?

I recently bought an old Heathkit Cheyenne (model MT-1) 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 either a 6 pin Jones socket or be
connectable to a 6 pin Jones socket (I can get the socket locally if I
have to) for output, and probably should have pos/neg alligator clips so
it can be hooked directly to a car battery. Mail moo@midtown.net.

Hello,
If you're interested in getting CNC Control for machine tools in your own
shop....
...and you've got some extra test equipment laying about...
...then this might be perfect for both of us!
I'm slightly nutty about electronic test equipment. I love restoring it, and
using it. Coincidentally, it also helps in my work of designing CNC control
products for Ah-ha!. I'm also shopping for our Director of Operations, he's
trying to get a couple things for his home shop too.
I'd be very open to arranging a trade of Pro-CNC, Artisan-CNC, or even a
complete control system, depending on the value of the deal.
I will also pay cash if the price is right.
Complete info on the CNC controls is available at the web page listed in sig
below. The web page will be moving to another ISP on Jan 1 1997. Probably
will be available as ahha.com.
I'm currently interested in the following for my lab:
-Decent Universal Counters (like freq cntr but with ratio, period, etc.)
Need 2-3 pieces. HP5335A, 5328A, etc..
-Current Probes, specifically Tek A6302 with AM503 amp, or equivalent.
-Tek TM500 plugins, like FG504 or 50x, SG50x, DC510 509 etc., TG501, etc..
-Decent Function Generators, prefer >10mhz with lin/log sweep, but will
consider others. Need 2-3 pcs.
-Good general purpose RF gen, like HP8640B, Boonton 102, 103, etc..
-Finally, I've been restoring Tek scopes for fun for about 20 yrs now, so just
about any Tektronix item is of interest to me. Plugins, probes, manuals,
scope carts, or entire scopes.
If you've got stuff you don't need, but you -do- need CNC, let me know!
Thanks,
Richard

If I remember correctly, you set the VFO to the desired frequency
and push and hold the f button. You should see some flashing of the
memory location numbers. Use the knob or the up/down buttons to choose
the memory location number that you wish to program the freq on the display
into. Then push the f button the lock it in.
good luck

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 -- OR BEST OFFER.

I Have one Zetron Model 810 Digital Hybrid for sale. This is a 2-Wire to
4-wire converter with digital signal processing. It typically is used to
connect a standard telephone line to a mobile radio system. It will
enhance the audio (especially full-duplex) in trunking, conventional and
cellular radio systems.
This unit is in excellent condition. It was in-service for less than a year.
Rack-mount (about 2" high). With Instructions.
Originally purchased for $900. Will sell for $600 OR BEST OFFER.

I've got a Motorola AP50 that I'd like to connect my TNC to. However,
no one around here would sell me the connector I need (the 'Accessory
Connector').
Can this darn thing be purchased from Motorola as a spare part or
something? Would someone be so kind as to provide me a part number,
and where I might purchase it? Also if you've got any idea how much a
beast like that would cost?
If not, can it be improvised? Anyones got the dimensions of this
connector? (The accessory connector for the AP50 is the same as the
GP300 and others similar).
When I've found the connector or something thereabouts, anyone knows
how I can connect it up to a) My baycom modem, b) a MFJ 1270C.
Email replies appericiated. Thanks.

The only radio I know of by that name is a Ten-Tec Century 21 with
digital readout. It's a ham band only transceiver, and not just a
receiver. It transmits c.w. only, but recieves ssb ok too.
Unless there's another radio around I haven't heard of yet (entirely
possible) with the Century 21 name, I don't believe what you have is a
short wave receiver in the sense of general coverage of the short wave
bands...but I could be wrong...
Anyone else know of a shortwave receiver called a Century 21?...

Kenwood had several older in the "600" and "700" series.
TS600, 620, 640 (quad band), 660, 670, 680 (TS130 + 6),
and 690 (TS450 + 6). These are all 6 meter (+)
transcievers
The TS700(A)(S) and (SP)
These were all 2 meter (only) all mode.

ICOM IC-211 2-meter all mode, probably made in the mid '80s or
thereabouts. It has FM, USB, LSB and CW and is a virtual twin of the
ICOM IC-701 HF rig.

I put a MIRAGE 6 Meter preamp in my mobile instalation a few months ago
to help my ICOM 706. It has been hanging up on switching and now does
not appear to amplify any more.
Needless to say I am not happy.
Does anyone have recomendations for 6 meter GaAs FET pre amps with
transmit switching???
Thanks,

Hi Bill--
I'm guessing this is a KP1/6M mobile preamp. Sounds like something may
have happened to the T/R switching circuit so the bypass relay isn't
kicking in the pre-amp anymore. Have you contacted the factory? This
unit should be covered by a 1-year full warrantee. If it is still under,
Mirage would be obligated to either replace or repair it at no charge.
Even if it is no longer covered, they MAY be able to fix it for a
reasonable price. Too bad to throw it away if the problem isn't major.

Eric,
If you know how to operate a soldering iron, a screw driver and a coil
tuning tool, you might want to buy the Ten-Tec 1208 transverter. It
converts from 14 MHz to 50 MHZ. over at least 200 KHz bandwidth. Output is
8 Watts and the receiver fron end is very good. The cost is $95 US.
You should be able to work a lot of stations during an ES opening with just
8 Watts. If it is not enough for you, 624 Kits has a 100 Watt amplifier
kit fior sale.
I have used mine for several months now and I am happy with it. I recently
installed an AEA Halo antenna on my boat at about 8 ft above the water and
managed to work California (DM03) with it. It is a distance of about 1000
miles from here. There was a brief ES opening that evening.
73 de VE7MDL ....Erik.

thanks for sharing the history of armstrong with us. he indeed was one
of the
creators and innovators of radio, but was victimized by the pettiness and
greed of his rivals. his story needs to be told as often as does that of
the "winners" to really understand the times and history.

Sounds like they have ganged the RF gain control to the squelch knob to
save cost. They should put more $$$ into better receiver front end's and
reduce the IM instead.

Hello, All:
My son is 13 years old and very much interested in getting his license
and start in amateur radio. We've consulted the ARRL and found a
volunteer locally to tutor him.
My son seems most interested in HF. He wishes to make contacts around
the world and is more than willing to achieve 5wpm code to be able to do
so. Since it is nearly Christmas I would like to encourage his interest
and find him a suitable "starter" radio--a transceiver I assume.
I've scouted some of the sites on the Net and looked in a handful of
catalogs. The least expensive new transceiver I've been able to find is
about $800, a little too much too invest at the outset I feel. I could
go with a used unit and I've noticed there a few kits around starting at
around $200 or so.
Can you give me some advice on these options: new, used or a kit? I'd
like to give him something for Christmas.
Please feel free to reply in this group or to my e-mail address.
Many thanks in advance. Happy Holidays!
John Figliozzi

The TS130S is same as the TS120 but also has the warc bands.
Can find them for $300 if you look around.

Dear friends,
My AEA DSP 2232 doesn┤t work right.
I┤m getting on the LCD of the TNC the following,
Packet
Packet
and both lights DCD and CMD are on.
On the screen of the computer appears the following message when i
communicate with the TNC,
cmd: 3d: DSP failed load software and sometimes cmd: 2d: DSP failed
load software.
I dont know if the Microchip Motorola 56001zl20 is doing wrong or some
statics on it or other.
How can I solve this problem..
AEA they say is in processof closing, so they can not help me.
Please some one do it.
Awaiting your kind comments, have my best.
E-mail me pc_honde@jet.es

I have looked at the Alinco 610 Dual Bander and am impressed by it.
Does anyone have opinions on this radio or one equivalent? I am highly

Hi all,
Just bought a DJG5 and understand that it is possible to wideband it -
and that this is possible with just a series of key presses.
Is this the case and if so, PLEASE let me know what to do!!
Thanks alot,

Hi Robin!
I own an Alinco DJ560 and my friend Darrell, (KA7BTV) owns a DJ580 es
hooking both up to the PK232 is the same, here's how I did it:
I placed a 680ohm resister in series with the PTT, then connected the
mic audio to the h/t end of the 680ohm resister.
I too had the same problem you mentioned, (tx overload), but after
analizing the circuit I discovered that it worked perfectly by placing a
.01 disc cap in series with the rec. audio coming out of the h/t.
Try it and let me know how it works, es I've been using it this way for
almost a year without any problems at all.

OK, Evan Platt haas gone after me like the indians after the cowboys, when
they went west. BUT.....
Amateurs always cried about people operating ham equipment without a
license. Well why does Evan have a Yeasu FT-50? Sure he can legally own it,
but why would he want one without a HAM TICKET? He can not legally transmit
anywhere with it, and in his postings he obviously admits doing so.
Evan has a campaign to ban me from this group, well I have sent letters to
the FCC, posting notice that Evan operates the FT-50, in amateur
frequencies, WITHOUT PROPER LICENSING, and operates the radio OUT OF BAND,
in which it is not certified for use, the latter unfortunately being the
larger offense.
So all you idiots who back up MR. Platt, I guess you agree that he should
be allowed to operate in his illegal fashion.
Any one who agrees can see www.fcc.gov and email your complaint on Mr
Platt.
E mail me and I will give you his home addresses, and any other info.
PROTECT YOUR AMATEUR RADIO RIGHTS.

This is the same fucking rant you've been subjecting us to for a week
or more....will you SHUT THE FUCK UP already?
1. Did he say he has no ticket? I don't recall seeing that anywhere.
2. How the hell do you know Evan Platt is even his real name?
3. If you approached the FCC with the same attitude you've subjected
the rest of us to, I'm sure the FBI will be starting a dossier on
you real soon. You strike me as the type of person the Secret
Service pays a little visit to whenever the President is in your
area.
4. I'll back Platt--and guess what--YOU are calling ME and idiot?
Well, what can I say, asshole, except FUCK YOU. How funny
that you, of all people would call ANYONE an idiot. Keep
practicing with that caps lock key, by the way. You almost have
it.

My job is communications. I need a field and computer programmable
radio with wide band recieve, PL, DPL and DTMF capabilities. Do you
know of any scanner that fits the bill? Nope, neither do I. So I have
a nice scanner. If a scanner did all I need it to do, I'd have the
scanner. I do plan on getting licensed, just deciding on code or no
code.

To get the FCC in action, you must prove someone did something. I have
not transmitted on the FT-50. And you can use the FT-50 to RECIEVE
whatever frequency you wish, even in front of the FCC Directors face
(except 46.63 - 47 and 870 - 890, of course)

If scanning is illigeal, arrest the planet.

I agree 100%. I think amateur should be licensed. Keeps the idiots
out. Of course, me and mr. Klien have signed a truce, so this is just
a open discussion now..

Hi!
I'm currently using a VHF satellite network (Orbcomm) in remote
monitoring application. My main problem is the size of the antenna
which make it too visible to vandalism and thieft. The antenna I
currently use is about 45 inch long and has 4 32 inch long radials.
I'm looking for a small/compact antenna that could be hidden easily.
Here are some specs:
Frequency range: 138-150 Mhz
Transmitter power: 5 watts
The gain can be unity or more
For some reason, in my application, the antenna need a ground plane
(work ok without it anywhere else!!). I might be able to find a way to
make it work without it so a built in ground plane is not important.
If anybody knows a manufacturer who has that kind of antenna, or a
place where i could find some information about antennas, please
E-mail me!
Thanks

I read the recent review in QST for the TS-570D and was very surprised
because of all the bad press the TS-870 has received for its lack of
crystal filters (and the resulting lack of selectivity in the presence of
large signals). Since there is room for only one crystal filter in the
TS-570 how have they taken care of this problem?
The FT-1000MP not only puts you in debt, but there are not enough
birthdays, Christmas and other occasions to ever buy all the mechanical and
crystal filters to fill it up.
I want the cw selectivity to work pileups and same for ssb. Is the TS-570
going to be as good as the FT-1000MP even though it costs about 70% as much
(or the other way around costing 50% more).
Does anyone have any experience with these radios, good or bad?

For the price of a new 570 you can get a used 850 with filters and have
one of the most selective rigs ever made. You won't get dsp though, if
that is very important to you. Good luck! --- Steve N9ROU

I am interested in an ongoing discussion of ATV. The forum can range from
down converters and transmitters to antennas and repeaters. We are
currently working on a ATV repeater in South Central New York State. A
discussion on the topic will hopefully not only be of value to us. but
also encourage enthusiasm in this area of ATV.

I used to have a "German One" (Fritzel) for about 6 months. It worked
somehow (with elevated radials about 10' high over the VERY good Dallas
soil) -- 130 DXCC countries [>100 on 40] since July. About a month
ago 20 meter trap partly melted, and on the second day of CQ WW CW
water find its way to the connector at the feedpoint, and the connector
blew up. (I used only about 1300-1400W -- SB-220). So now I am working
on Butternut. The first day I installed it, the capacitor in the 80
meter
tank blew up. Nice guys from Butternut promised to send me a replacement
(hopefully it will arrive by Friday, so I will play with my antenna over
the weekend). They say, that something must be wrong, because usually
their antennas easily handle 1500 + W.
BTW, question to everyone who have Butternuts -- is it possible
to tune it, say, for 3,800, and then use on 3,500 with a tuner,
(where the SWR is about 10... but so what?) without the risk to
blow up some part of the antenna?
Several years ago I melted 80 meter coil on my Hy-Gain DX-77...
It was tuned at 3520. On 3590 SWR was over 3. Just 600 W
melted the coil after "only" 3 minute non-stop CQ on RTTY. You
ask me -- what an idiot transmitts CQ for 3 minutes? Here I am.
It was the very end of WAE RTTY, I worked virtually everyone,
so I was tired to switch it on and off.... Anyway, I do not
use RTTY since than (1991)... so far.
Bottom line: all verticals are about the same. If you plan to use
QRP (up to 200 WTTS, I say) -- pick the one you like. For legal
limit power try to choose one without traps (however, Cushcraft
seems to be quite reliable, if you do not try to transmit far from
tuned frequency).
As for the no radials --- I am trying to use Butternut with their
CPK kit (radial substitutor). I know that it will degrade the
performance significantly -- but just have no time to mess with
the correct radial system. BTW, all those "half wave radiators"
in the real life need grounding system (se ON4UN's book) to make
them perform. When you install them "as is" -- they definitely
radiate less than dissipate.

I have heard this several times before, and it's always stated
matter-of-factly. Can someone please explain, in a cogent technical
manner, why a half-wave vertical requires a groundplane? My R7000 manual
explicitly states "DO NOT install radials." As opposed to "You shouldn't
NEED to install radials." Please note the emphasis.

Matthew,
Im using a GAP Titan . Its been up since May this year. Real sucess story
with it. Usuable on all bands 80 to 6 meters. Heard some HAM even got
to use it on 106 m, don't hold your breath on that one. But I keep
trying. Just take it out of the box, follow direction put it up and
operate. Yes if I had it to do over again I'd buy one in a minute.
Factory engineers are real helpful
GAP also has a internet site now

I agree with the GAP antennas. I used a Challenger for several years with
great results. I did have a minor problem with it. I guyed it a bit high,
and the local winds did their thing and bent the antenna below the guy
points. Sent some bucks to Texas Towers for replacement tubing and it's
working like a champ again.

Hello, out there in radioworld. I'm buying a second han receiver these
days, and I'm wondering if anybody knew enough about receivers to say
which receiver is better: Drake R8A, JRC NRD-535 or ICOM R71A. I'm only
going to use it for SSB-listening (aircraft), but these signals are
indeed distant enough...
The price counts in as well, of coarse: Second hands: Drake around
900USD, JRC around 1200USD and ICOMs at 700USD.
Hope someone can help me out....
Until then: Merry christmas!!

HALE-BOPP OR HALE FLOP?
I observed comet Hale-Bopp on the evening of Wednesday, NOV
27. From light-polluted Thousand Oaks, I used 10x50 binocu-
lars to find the comet. It was low in the western sky and
and looked like a faint, gray, wedge-shaped smudge. The tail
wasn't visible, just the nucleus.
The comet wasn't terribly impressive, but we still have sev-
eral weeks before Hale-Bopp is supposed to reach maximum
brightness. According to information on the Sky Publishing
webb site, the object is more or less brightening as predic-
ted. Hopefully, it will live up to its billing and be a
truly great great comet and not a flop like Comet Kahoutek.

I have three classic texts, all in excellent condition,
which I am looking to unload as I will have no need for them.
I hope to find them a good home.
1. RCA, _Receiving Tube Manual_, 1947.
2. RCA, _Radiotron Designer's Handbook, 3d Ed._, 1942.
3. Reich, _Theory and Application of Electron Tubes_, 1939.
I request at a minimum that one pay postage, if
applicable. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. What are these
worth? Please contact me if interested.
Happy Holidays,

Collins updated their logo in the late 1960's and phased out the old
logo. I worked there during the tranistional period and saw equipment
made with both logos. The winged emblem was pretty much history
by late 1969. We nicknamed the new logo the "meatball"

Display good at night, lousy during the day.
Receiver picks up all the paging systems in the 150-155 Mhz range.

I like mine. I think the display looks great in all but direct sunlight.
The radio is very easy to use partic. in a mobil. You can control
most of the functions from the mike.
The audio beeps are all toned so you can figure out whats happening from
the road.
By hitting a mike button you can change to dual 2 neter or dual 440.
Scan is very fast.
There is an intermod mode which reduces intermod. I live a mile from NYC and
intermod is a problem on any radio I have owned. This one is no exception
but its better than the Kenwood 733 I had been using.
The AM scan works well. I pick up airports and jet flights.
I can also scan the police and fire freqs. Thats the benifit of a wide
range receiver. I would rather have that capability even if it means some
intemod.
The built in CTSS ENCODE and DECODE works well. When you hear a station
you press the button and it scans through the CTSS tones. If the station
stops transmitting TONE scann stops and waits for them to resume. When it
finds the right PL it beeps and flashes the PL for you. Makes life simple.
Im running the detachable head in the cockpit and the radio in the trunk.
If you havent been able to tell... I really like the radio.

Need comments on the Icom 707 HF radio. Price seems great. How is
performance?

Has anyone any useful tips on how to prevent radiated noise from a
computer monitor getting into the HF antennas. Switching the ac off to
the monitor does not always stop it, but disconnecting the serial port
does.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Les,
Some monitors are worse than others and the greater the sweep frequency
used the greater the problem. The last monitor I bought was an NEC 5FGp.
NEC included two sets of split ferrite cores and tie-wraps. They are
placed on the video cable, one set at each end. I have noticed no serious
problem with electrical noise. You could probably find sinmilar cores at
a computer store or use low-frequency types for RF.

Would anyone know of a setup mode or procedure to allow the Kenwood 733a
to receive packet on one of the halves (UHF) and transmit on the other
(VHF) via the packet connector. What I'm really doing is trying to use
the packet connector to connect into an AEA radiolink controller for use
as a remote, and the packet connector provides 1) a shielded audio input
with PTT (the normal mic is hard to shield), 2) Audio out, and 3)Squelch
detect (COR) output. I can get any two by other methods. The packet, as
far as I can tell, will only direct the received audio from the side
that is selected as transmit (PTT), not from the selected "control"
channel.
Any suggestions or help is appreciated. (Please also E-mail - I don't

The instructions for cross band repeat can be found on the Kenwood web page
http://www.kenwood.net
They dont put the instructions for cross band repeat or wireless memory
programing (to a like rig) and wireless remote control
because many of those features are not leagle in certain cournties.
Go to the web bage and look for the tech notes.
Enjoy.

My understanding, though I have not tested it, is that the transmit
side as selected by the bandsel will take whatever is coming in on the
pkt connector. You can feed the speaker of the passive side receive
in on the mic line in the packet connecter, perhaps.
I'm trying to receive packet on one side for APRS while using the
other side for a phone QSO, and my info is that I must feed the audio
out of the speaker to the TNC, and not use the output of the pkt
connector, as that will have the audio from the active side on it. OF
course, I will not be able to transmit pkt in this configuration.

What you say is true but just to nitpick. "forward bias" is a term
associated with solid state devices. With tubes there is no "forward
bias". All tubes are biased negative. Class A is biased at the
mid-point of the EGIP curve. Class C is biased at 1 1/2 to 4 times
cutoff. AB1 is generally biased in the "knee" portion of the EGIP
curve (at the beginning of the linear portion of the curve.)
AB2 is biased a little higher and is therefore more linear as you
said.

I have posted a few messages in the past week requesting any mods for the
IC-W32A and got no
replies. I have one and thought they were popular, I have had little time
to play with it but did manage to
find one MOD that does work on my own. How do you like your W32A and are
there any problems that you have found ? The only thing that bothers me is
the way the bands are set up and in some configurations you cannot get a
freq. range, but in others you can, it can be confusing! I also find the
audio to be poor as compared to my TH-78A (rest it's soul!) but I guess I
can learn how to accept it.
Has anyone confirmed that this radio will do 800 MHz RX ?? I was told that
it would by some ham at a local store but did not ask very much about it
since I was not planing to buy the radio. He also wanted $$$ to do the mod
himself and would not give it out.

INCREDIBLE! He wants to CHARGE you!?! Here's what to do! Hold down
BAND, SQUELCH, and POWER for 5 seconds. The left receiver will now have
additional bands covering 108-999 MHz EXCEPT for cellular and 200-300.
Kudos to ICOM for making it so easy!!!
BTW, I've checked the receiver sensitivity at various frequencies
on a service monitor. It's <.5uV.

Hello Drake Lovers.
I WORK ON DRAKE TWINS, R4 THRU R4C, T4 X THRU T4XC
Just to let ya-all (I live in Virginia) know that I am again planning
my winter repear season now. I am a semi-retired radio tech (FCC
commercial licensed for those of you that didnt ask) and my rates are
competitive. ALL WORK GUARANTEED as long as radio is operated
according to factory specs.
I also work on linear amps. Typical Drake twin alignment is $100.
Also I buy Drake parts units.

Don,
I have the Timewave 59+ and really want to upgrade to the 599ZX!!
In a word IT'S AWESOME!!
I recently used it during the CQWW DX contest and let me tell you.. If I
turned it off, I lost a good 40% or all my QSO's. A friend of mine also has
one and recently bought a FT-1000MP, which includes DSP filtering in the
radio... He wrote to timewave and Yaesu that the DSP in the radio was
absolutely worthless!!! The timewave was FAR FAR superior...
once you use one for awhile you'll wonder how you got along without it..
I use it for SSTV, RTTY and just about everything.. gives me phone quality
QSO's just about all of the time..
Needless to say I'm impressed with it.
Now all I have to do is sell the 59+ and get the 599ZX... Timewave's web site
has the complete manual as well as other information on line thats worth
reading.. I think the URL is www.timewave.com
73.

Dear Marv and Don,
I've used both the NIR-12 and 599zx and think both have advantages and
disadvantages. The NIR-12 has overall better noise reduction for SSB and
can be set so agressively so that it reduces intelligibility (you can back
off to your
taste). The 599zx has much nicer controls and overall seems more flexible
(especially nice is the AGC circuit). But it doesn't seem to be able to
reduce static crashes as well as the NIR-12. I always ended up using the
NIR-12 when the crashes were killing me instead of the 599zx.
Both do very well at reducing heterodynes, and seem to have comparable
performance on SSB voice filtering (selectivity) - CW selectivity might
gain the nod to
the 599zx because is operates smoothly and will go down to 10 Hz (!!!). At
any significant code speed 10 Hz filtering is quite "mushy" and is likely
unusable, but its nice to have shuch selectivity available even if one
doesn't use it much.
I think my casual opinion is that if one could combine the features
(controls and AGC) of the 599zx with the (I think) superior noise reduction
performance of the NIR-12 you would have a very good unit. To try this,
I've run them in series with each other(!!!), but the processing begins to
show if you
do much very aggressively in the units (in terms of aggressive noise
reduction).
Bottom line is that I still use my TS940 notch and internal filters and
may
wait for the next model NIR with an AGC before plunking my $$ down.
Best regards,
David (K5KH)

I own an NIR-12 and find it to be very effective. However, I have had to
purchase a symetrix SX-201 parametric equaliser to restore some of the
'edge' that is lost after heavy processing. The unit (NIR-12) seems really
well built (inside and out) and is quite nice to use (i.e. the feel of the
pots, weight/footprint/layout of controls etc).
Here's a link to the Symetrix, if anyone is interested:

Hello everyone,
My name is Vic and I am looking for some information. Being new to HF I
know very little ... about the whole scene. Looking at rigs however, I have
decided I'd like to buy either an Alinco DX-70T or an Icom IC-706.
Does anyone have an actual comparison of the two rigs side by side so as
to comment on performance? How about features on HF & 6M between the two? I
know the DX-70T comes with CW & SSB narrow filters built in and they are an
option on the Icom, but how about actual performance between the two?
I have seen MANY mods for the IC-706 but NONE for the DX-70T. Are there
mods available for the DX-70T?
I have heard the 706 sounds lousy on HF with a stock mic. A friend said
he talked with a DX-70 owner and it sounded like the "big rigs"! Is this
true?
How about this ... ya know the typical finger indent on the tuning knob?
Well, the 706 has it and I've tried it. Very comfortable, works well. The
DX-70 doesn't have it! How is it to tune??? I don't have anywhere to local
to try one. In fact in SE Florida here, don't know of a single person with
a DX-70. Don't see them for sale either!
Awaiting your comments (and tips to mods)!

Victor

Not sure if these qualify as BA tubes, nontheless, I have a pair in the
Boxes, but think they are pulls. They were in with a large number of
other tubes. How can I tell if the tubes are good? I can't find a tube
base diagram, so not sure which pins are the filaments. I would like to
sell them as pulls if they check okay.
Sure have learned alot here. Thanks for the help.

Can't remember the basing by number, but it is an 8 pin base with a
keyed center pin which is the control grid. Four equally spaced pins
are connected to the cathode, and the heater is connected to two pins
that are opposite each other. One of the remaining pins is the
supressor grid; maybe the 8th pin isn't actually there. Note that
there are 2 versions of the 4CX250: B has 6 V heater, and F has a 26 V
heater.
For those who are not familar with this family:
4 = tetrode
C = ceramic insulated
X = air cooled
250 = plate dissapation

Hello,
I have a few pieces of equipment of which I was wondering what they
might be worth.
(1) GE MASTER II Repeater currently on 460mhz
(2) EICO Oscilloscope Model # 425
If anyone has any idea what they are worth an e-mail would be
appreciated.
thanks

Hi and thanks for reading.
I have been so swamped with projects lately and haven't had time to use
the things I've bought plus over the past couple of years in my dealings of
both buying equipment for myself, and buying others out, I've amassed a
collection of things which I'd like to try to now clear out.
Among them are:

Kantronics Challenger Terminal Unit (Receives/Transmits AMTOR, ASCII,
RTTY, CW (5-99WPM ?) with manual AND the associated Tandy Color Computer II
AS A PACKAGE DEAL and in working condition. Needs only a Power Adapter and
Monitor to use. ( a cheap 5" TV works fine ) and a Transceiver.
This deal is a STEAL if wanting to break into RTTY or other modes. PACKET
IS "NOT" A MODE OF THIS TERMINAL
Some Cabinets for housing new or older projects
Some Electronics parts, new and pulls from older equipment.
Sams Photofacts for Antique TVs for you collectors.
A FEW photocopies of older Amateur Radio Receiver Service Data

Signal Generators
Older Style Service Monitor (Lampkin 107C)
Misc. Radio Transmitters/Transceivers
CBs (maybe used for 10M (?) )
CB Power Suppplies (can be used for low power H.T.s or mobile radios)
Much too much to list. All going reasonable or close to it.
Interested in any or all? E-Mail with your wants or needs to:
Tech@DP.NET

No, no. To get the full effect, you have to use all caps!! And I'm
sure it wasn't marijuana, but fetal alcohol syndrome. Note the
moon-shaped face, the low sloping brow, and the inability to find his
caps lock key. Now, count his fingers....

Does anyone have experience with the Sommer Discone or Disconical HF
Multiband antennas? I am interested in running power and have limited
room. Have there been any comparative tests with other verticals?
Thanks,

Does anyone know of an extarnal keypad for the
Kenwood TS-870S? Something like the "Stone Mountain QSYers" that
were made for a variety of rigs a few years back.
I'm considering an 870, but I hate that 2 x 5 keypad layout.
Thanks;

I admit that I couldn't stand the keypad when I traded in my 850 for the 870 a
year ago...however I got used to it within the first week. Also, if you have
a
PC running any version of Windows, you can use Kenwood's RCP program and do
direct frequency entry with you PC keyboard.
You're in for a real treat with the 870!

I have a Tram Diamond D60 for sale. It was originally a 23 channel 11 meter
AM/SSB mobile rig. It was converted to 10M several years ago. I am the
original owner and have a Sams Photofact book on it. I have the original box
and packaging. This was a $400 rig brand new. I'll take best reasonable
offer.
73 & Have a Merry Christmas,
Jeff

This deal is real, but if you want to judge it on my club's name...

I know of this dealer and have had several transactions with Al at
many hamfests. They are for real...nothing phony here. They put on a
nice display and the used equipment he sells at hamfests look to be in
good shape.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same bad experience that I
have had with Marvin. He posted the above radio, I responded and said
that I wanted it then he sent me a "corrected price" message which I
now have to question. Again I responded and was going to purchase it
at the higher price and he still seems to be playing mind games.
He says that someone is ahead of me. Here is the letter he sent me,
what would you make of it?
Rich,
I have to apologize for the (typo) mistake.. The TM-631A radio
should
have been posted with a price of $300 vs. $200. The $200 price
was
for the ICOM IC-229H that I am also selling.
As you were the third person to contact me, I wanted to give you
the
first opportunity at the correct price. Please let me know if
you are
still interested.
Sorry for the mistake.

Well I was number 2 or three on the list...I called when I saw the
ad...then when he mentioned he must have posted low, I told him I would
still pay 300 for it.....but he NEVER mentioned he was gonna raise the
price OR offer it for 300 if the original buyer backed out...
So I guess Im NOT on the list...think I'll buy my gear somewhere else!

I'm VERY sorry that Rich took this the wrong way, and that he sees fit to post
such a message here in the newsgroup. There was NEVER any intention on my
part to play ANY type of mind game. If you look at my original message on the
radio you'll see that as I said above I also posted an ICOM 229H for sale the
same day..for the same price.. Now I don't think that most people will assume
that a dual band radio will sell for the same price as a single band one.
Unless it is in VERY POOR condition (which this radio is not). I simply made
a typo when entering the message.
To be fair I contacted the first 3 people who called me about the radio and
informed them of my mistake, and asked them if they wanted the radio at the
corrected price. As the message clearly says above, Rich was the THIRD person
to contact me. As it turns out the first person was no longer interested but
the second person wanted the radio. In fairness thats who bought it.. I don't
think that constitutes mind games at all. I proceeded in the order in which
inquiries were made. I believe that Rich is just upset that he didn't get the
radio, to his credit, being local he offered to come and get it and bring
cash. That wasn't the issue, in my mind I sold the radio on a first come,
first serve basis. If thats not the best way to do things then I'm sorry and
I apologize.
I hope that Rich will make the same apology here in the newsgroup as well.
This was my first time selling anything via the newsgroup, I'd hate to think
every posting here is going to be attacked when a mistake is made. Maybe
fleamarkets, hamfests, and sales to dealers is the only way handle things. If
it is I think it's a shame and we all lose in the end.

If you look at the other prices in his original post, they are all in line
except the TM631. I think he made a mistake and sent a message correcting
it - nothing more. If he really wanted to "play mind games" he would
have said $325 or more to see how high he could get that price with all
those fish on line. ;-)
One time I thought I had made a mistake, but I was mistaken.

Hi Chuck-
I don't know what kind of "fancy antenna analyzer" you are referring to,
but I sure do know what you mean.
I have an MFJ 249 and find it quite handy for some antenna measurements,
but it has a couple of shortcomings.
A few months ago, I found out that it is useless for tuning up a long,
end-fed wire antenna on the low bands. Hooked that dude up to my 164'
inverted V (with the matching network between the analyzer and the
antenna, of course), and looked at the 80 meter DX window and couldn't
get the needle off the peg. No way, no how.
Put that thing back on the shelf and hooked up the trusty General Radio
1606A impedance bridge and tuned that antenna up easy as pie. Got quite
a fine null, and when I hit it with power, the SWR came up nearly
perfect.
I've since then tried it on several nights, and even in the daytime, and
apparently the signal from local AM bcst stations is what's doing it.
It is just useless on that antenna and that band.
The MFJ 249 has been very handy for higher band stuff, and with smaller
antennas, but it's never been any real use to me on 160 or 80.
And, as you mentioned, some of these analyzers don't tell you enough
info, even when they *do* work. Especially if you are going to custom
design a matching network or something like that.
73, Tom KJ5IE

I have a Robot 1200C for sale. It has the Martin EPROM and the memory
modification. It comes with a PC interface card, software, and
manual.. It is in MINT condition.
For those who are not fimiliar with this SSTV converter, It is a stand
alone unit with a built-in frame grabber. It can be interfaced and
operated from a PC but also can be operated independently. With the
Martin EProm it works on all the current SSTV modes.
This originally cost over $1500 , I'm asking $400.
I can be reached at 520-284-6848 or at nu6x@sedona.net

Greetings all,
I have a Tektronics 465 scope for sale. It's a dual trace, 100 MHZ portable
version. The calibration expired in (I believe) April of 1994. I purchased thi
s
`scope used from my place of employment thinking I would explore the building
side of the hobby. I've since decided that I have the time to either build
or operate. Hence the reason for this post. Also, I do not have probes to go
with this unit. I'm asking $350 plus shipping.
Primary reason (aside from lack of use) is that I want to shop for a DSP, and
need the funds tied up in this piece of test equipment to offset the next
purchase.
I can be reached at 716-654-2733 `till 4:30 EST, or 716-392-3183 eves.

Kenwood TH-22AT H.T. (2 Meters) THis is a sweet little two meter
radio. Included in price is an MFJ Speaker-Mic, the Soft-leather
(imitation leather anyway) case and a gold telescoping 2 meter whip. Have
all original manuals and box, and will even throw in a variable power
supply for running the rig from 110v. It has the original NiCd Batt, plus
a dry cell pack. Everything is like new, the rig was bought by a friend
new, but he lost interest after a while. I approximate the usage on the
radio to be less than 2 hrs.
Asking: $195 Or Best. You will not insult me with a lower
offer. (That is, one that is reasonable!)
Shipping is negotiable.

Make someone's (or your) CHRISTMAS!!!!!
My wife doesn't use and wants to sell her Yeasu FT-50R dual band radio.
Although she really likes how easy it is to operate, program, and the
small size is great to slip into her purse, she wants to sell it. I think
she is nuts!! She thinks its wasteful for her to have it just sitting
around not being used. I have an identical model (not for sale) and I
love it! As a matter of fact she did all the research and proved out that
this is one of the greater handhelds on the market for the price,
features, usability, etc.
The radio has a great receive tuning range, 76 thru 200 Mhz, 300 - 540Mhz,
590 - 999Mhz. Has a rechargeable battery capable of output of 5 watts.
Comes complete as it did from the factory with box, manual, wall charger,
etc. This is a very rugged, water-proof (to milspec) and durable radio.
She has added a Premier RD8 dual band antenna which works much better than
the factory duck. NO INTERMOD!
She would like to get $250 plus shipping for the radio. If you are
interested or want more info respond right away via email
(dkvach@aol.com). This is a great radio for beginners.

For Sale a Kenwood TS-130SE that has about 1 (one) hour of use. I bought the
radio from an estate sale that included a few other radios that had never been
out of the box. I ran the radio two years ago for about an hour during a rain
delay at the Indy 500. This is the cleanest TS-130SE you'll see. It has been
stored in a cloth bag for the past two years. The radio has the second SSB
filter installed, I put it in. and the hand microphone. The price is $550 fir
m, no
trades. A cashiers check or US Postal M.O. I'll pay shipping anywhere in the
Continential U.S. Worldwide shipment is negotiable.

Hmmm... And just how did these people know the "mod" didn't work?
Because they couldn't key up the local police repeater?

Kory,
Here's my pitiful attempt at a simplistic explanation:
You'd be looking at a display on a 'scope whose center would be equated
with the frequency to which your receiver is currently tuned. The input
would be coming from an IF in your receiver.
The display would show you several (perhaps 10's or 100's of) KHz above
and below the center (your current freq).
Should another signal be present in your IF (at your antenna within the
limit of the displayed frequency range) above or below your operating
frequency, it will show up in the display as a spike whose vertical size
would give you some indication of it's relative strength.
So in essence you can look above and below your current frequency and
see where other signals may be and how close they are to your
frequency. So if you wanna work'em, you tune your rig until that spike
is centered and you should be on their freq. Or if you're looking for a
relatively quiet part of the band you can see whether going up or down
the band would be better by checking to see which direction is more or
less crowded.
End of explanation. Hope it was understandable!

Hi out there.......
Thanks for the help on the "Big Johnson" Johnson Invader 2000 I posted
a few weeks ago.
I have a friend that has a Yaesu Ft-2700 that would like to take the
rec. out of band. He is interested in rec. just above 150.00 Mhz.
Anyone got any info.
Thanks

Hello freinds,
I bougth a Yaesu FT-50 some days ago, and i am very happy with it.
But after some testing, I found out that the antenna is not very good,
(low TX).
I tryed a Motorola antenna on it, ad it vas MUTCH better, but the
connector vas not the same.
Do anybody know about an antenna that works better, and fits the FT-50
??. I only use the 2M band.
Thanks

I bought the adapter to a standard BNC, and used a Maldol FR30 (dual band).
To deal with the cosmetics of the adapter, I used a black heat-shrink wrap
(twice) and shimmied it down close to the base to help keep out dust/water.
Looks good and works GREAT! The Maldol AH 209s looks fantastic and works
almost as good as the stock, but is a fantastic very-small dual band
antennae. Including adapter, 4", without adapter, 3".

I'm thinking about buying this rig, and would appreciate any input from
people who are actually using it...
I work only cw, and enjoy chasing dx when I can hear it...Is the
receiver in this rig any good for weak signal reception?
I understand the DSP is in the audio circuit...what's your opinion of
its performance?
Would you recommend either of the optional cw filters (I do a lot of 40
mtr and 80 mtr work with nearby carriers and noise).
I've read this months QST review, and came away still wondering...
I guess bottom line is: How do you like this rig?
Any help is appreciated. Here or E-mail as you prefer.
Thanks.

Go out and read the ARRL review in January 1997 QST. Basically, it was
a very favorable review, with the DSP working quite well.

I think the price of the radio will come down. Presently, it is $1575
at HRO. The Kenwood TS-870 dropped in price from $2600 when it was
released, to $2200 present. Kenwood says that the TS-570D is replacing
the TS-450. The Ts-570D should be about the same price $1350. Expect

Investigating getting a FT290 or 790 and was wondering if either of these
can be modified for 9600bd packet. If so can someone point me in the right
direction...
Thanks and 73

Bob,
this is info about 9600 bps mods for FT290/790 from my acrhive.
I used it some time ago and it run well.
I hope it will be usefull for you.

How to modify YAESU FT-290 RII and FT-790RII
for 1200 BpS PSK and 9600 BpS FSK
As you know, for 1200 BpS PSK/FM a direct injektion of the signal into the
FM-varicap is recommended and for 9600 BpS FSK necessary. For 9600 BpS you
will need the FM-discriminator output.
Due to SM-Technology the following modifications are not easy to manage.
FT-790RII in ()
The FM-discriminator output is at pin 9 of Q4001 (Q402) MC3357P. Use a
shielded cable to connect this pin with your 9k6-modem input. The IF-
bandwidth of CF01 (CF01) CFW455F seems to be to small for very good
results, so I recommend to exchange it with a CFW455D. With good RF-
strength and proper tuning the CFW455F can fit as well.
The more complicate modification is the injection point. Inject your TX-
signal below the main unit where R30124, C30120 and C30126 (R30117, C30117
and C30124) come together (all SMD). Is it necessary to say, use a shielded
cable? As long as no other AF from the tone unit or the microphon reaches
this point you must not cut any connections. But adjust your FM-deviation.
I made this changes in both radio sets and had already good contacts via
UoSAT-OSCAR 14. So good luck and success.

It is two times bigger than the FNB-41. Since there is no belt clip on it
is very heavy to carry around. It makes a good backup battery though.

No belt clip. Huge. Think of it as the 41 with a HUGE hump. No place
for a belt clip.

Good one Jeff! I balked once I heard this about the -42. I think I'll
just carry an extra -41 between my cheek and gum to make it thru a
complete game.

I have an FT-10 that had a turn-off problem and had to send it to Yaesu
for a firmware upgrade. Yaesu was aware of the problem when I called-
when you turned the radio off in a particular sequence, the audio amp
stayed on (you could hear a slight hiss). Tucker wasn't much help, but
they didn't tell me they were going out of the radio business. It was
probably old stock (early version) from Oklahoma Comm Center. I'm not
complaining, though, because they sold out the ft-10 (w/16 keypad) for
$189. It seemed like a very good price at the time, and Yaesu was
speedy with the upgrade.

This was terribly annoying, as I use my radio for emergency
communications when I'm out solo hiking, and I could foresee this thing
getting switched-on accidentally in my pack... it doesn't take much
pressure to switch it on, and the intended delay only exists on
power-off.
I cut a small ring of rubber/plastic stuff from an old Casio watchband
and glued it around the button. Again, not elegant, but functional.

This was terribly annoying, as I use my radio for emergency
communications when I'm out solo hiking, and I could foresee this thing
getting switched-on accidentally in my pack... it doesn't take much
pressure to switch it on, and the intended delay only exists on
power-off.
I cut a small ring of rubber/plastic stuff from an old Casio watchband
and glued it around the button. Again, not elegant, but functional.

I bought a couple of SMA plugs from RS, and they also have a much
shorter centre pin than the rubber duck that comes with the FT50.
However, I had no problems with the connection to my set - serial number
61080549.

Hello!
Thanks for reading this. I'm trying to get some information about the
connections on the ACC-1 connector on the rear of the rig. I seem to
remember, years ago, that if a particular pin was shorted to earth,
then the display could be made to read a VHF frequency to be used when
switched to the 10m band and using a transvertor. The rig is capable
of displaying 50, 70, 144, 225 and 432 etc but I cannot for the life
of me remember which pins does which band!
I am mainly interested in the 432 display as I am currently building a
transvertor for this band.
I also seem to recall that there are a number of technical bulletins
with handy tips and modifcations for the FT980, but I have never seen
any nor do I know where to get a copy of any. Any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please e-mail me if you can help:
psmeaton@globalnet.co.uk
Thanks!
Phil

Gustaf, you are right to be apprehensive about changing the filter
components in the IC706. However if you use a very steady hand it will be
worth it. We modelled for a new rolloff freq of 175 MHz. New values are:
c153 2p2 c52 5p6 c53 6p8 c154 15p c152 18p
This gave good performance 60 thru 170 MHz with steep rolloff
thereafter. Must avoid image response above 200 MHz hence choice of
rolloff freq. Best of luck. 73, Ralph ZL1TBG.

Gee, Gary, you just blew your image. We all thought you were Hi Tek.
'Real hams do it on the giga hertz at 56k baud, and real hams dig tower holes
with a post hole digger'. I don't know, something just doesn't seem to fit.
Personally I think post hole diggers are an obsolete, antiquated way to dig a
hole that should be banned. Why should today's modern digital hams be
forced to have a post hole digger jambed down their throat just because they
want to have a tower ? No commercial outfit uses post hole diggers anymore.
They all have gas powered augers, and big trucks with giant drill bits. Why
should hams be subject to using silly, outdated, antiquated tools for digging
holes when nobody else is using them ? To suggest a ham dig a tower hole
with a post hole digger is nothing but HAZING ! Just because YOU like having
blisters on YOUR hands doesn't mean ALL of us have to like it. How about peop
le
with disabilities ? Do you expect disabled people to spend two days in the ya
rd
with a post hole digger just because YOU did it ? What about people who live i
n
places where the dirt is REALLY HARD ? Should they be kept out of ham radio
just because of your silly post hole digger hazing ritual ?
I think not. I think people should be able to just pick up the phone, call on
e
of those guys with the big trucks with the giant drill bits, and let THEM come
over and dig the hole for the tower. Post hole diggers are keeping a lot of
quality, qualified people out of ham radio, and it's time this hazing ritual
come to an END !!! I am going to write to the ARRL and WARC 99 and tell them
I
think it's about time to get rid of post hole diggers for ever !!!

With a 50 watt transmitter, I'd still go directly to the battery...drill
a small hole in the firewall if necessary...

It's a common misconception, which *was* true in years past, but no longer.
You
are often dealing with MORE computer systems than on a car, depending on the
application. Since many boats are equipped on the aftermarket, extreme cautio
n has to
be used to avoid interfering with not only engine control computers, but Radar
, SSB,
Loran, GPS, cellular, inverters, etc., and also to avoid interference caused b
y climte
control systems and engine peripherals, which are often wired throughout the b
oat (again
this depends on the specific application, dual controls, and so on). Not to m
ention
that more expensive (read: larger) boats often have up to 10 different antenn
as
handling various, sometimes interfering frequencies. This means meticulous is
olation,
which *can* be done without wiring directly to a battery.

Many electronics react to computers as well, especially sensitive navigationa
l
equipment in marine and aircraft.
3 Watts is only the power _output_ of the phone, and it can often be less tha
n
3w. 0.5w can screw a computer. More power means it can do it from farther aw
ay, or be
more pronounced. But the frequency is often what causes the interference, not
the power
of the unit in general. 800MHz is more likely to interfere with certain comput
er
applications than is 140MHz. I don't know why this is, but it happens. I've
had
stereo equipment interfere with VHF transmissions, but VHF doesn't seem to aff
ect
cellular, but computers and lower-range VHF aren't usually a problem. The mos
t
important thing is to isolate the antenna well and use a power supply that isn
't as
subject to other RF pollution. Since I don't know the first thing about Oldsm
obuicks, I
wouldn't know which circuit this could be. Notice in the last post that I did
say it
was possible to either use a knock-out punch or drill the firewall to get to t
he
battery. I just like to try easier applications before resorting to the most
difficult.
But I would definitely agree that if you want to be SURE that there is limite
d
interference the first time, the battery itself is the best buffer.

I haven't done ham installations, but I do frequent marine (VHF) installation
s
as well as cellular. As is the case with the marine radios, you have to get a
hot wire
that will supply enough amps for the equipment, otherwise you'll have a dead m
ike even
though you'll receive all right.
An easy way to go about this would be to find a fuse in the fuse block that
has
enough power to drive the equipment, find out what it powers, and hook up to t
hat
circuit somewhere under the dash. That way you'll get enough power to run the
radio.
Also install another fuse, even if you're using a fused circuit.
If you can trace a wire to under the dash, you won't have to worry about the
firewall, although if it comes down to it, you can either drill one (CAREFULLY
!) or
sometimes there are knock-out holes on the firewall for use in certain applica
tions. It
is also possible that there are connectors which are not used (i.e. options th
at you
might not have) on the firewall, which would be an easy way to get the power t
hrough the
firewall without having to mess with it.

Call GM first. Now a days just getting power to the rig is not enough.
Routing of the coax, keeping it away from various electronics controller
is more of a challange. Most US makers have dedicated RFI staff, most imports
just say dont use a radio...

Yes, GM publishes a guide on how to wire mobile radios. I have one
that is dated June, 1992. Mine is a black & white pamphlet which
is 4 pages long. I agree with the other poster who said you should
call GM directly; they may have updated that pamphlet. If you don't
have any luck, I would be willing to send you a photocopy of the
one I have.
Mark
p.s. to answer your question about holes through the front of dash;
you will need to drill a new one for your radio wiring. Bulkhead
connectors seem to be used by about every automaker now and there
really aren't the holes there used to be to run your own wires
through. One of the main reasons they went this way was to reduce
engine noise in the passenger compartment.

Larry,
I have an old SWan 6oo that does not have any CW filter on it. It does
have a very excellent audio filter but certainly nothing like you
describe for the DSP filter.
Do you think that filter would be usable on my old swan. It is so old
that I am unable to find a cw filter for it.
Your description of the signal popping out makes me ask the question of
the possibility of a threshold below which the DSP unit does not even
hear the signals causing you to maybe miss the weak DX stations. Is
that a possibility?

I think you're right about the lack of gain using a Heil mike. It is not
simply a matter of rigging a "keying circuit" as some have suggested.
Heil is very backwoods in terms of support (small-town, unsophisticated
company, desperately in need of marketing talent) and you'll be lucky to
get much help. One thing I've done (no fun) is to put small pot in
parallel with the bias resistor on the mike preamp transistor. You will
undoubtedly be dealing w/ surface mount components so watch it. I did
this in an IC-737 so I could use a Heil mike. ICOM tech support will
probably tell you exactly which resistor this is if you can't find it on
the schematic.
Epilogue: After happily owning ICOM equipment for many years, including
the bad IC-730, *GREAT* IC-740, and so-so IC-737, I switched back to
Kenwood so I could be LOUD on SSB again. If I were doing mobile work, it
would be a different story. The '706 is an intriguing rig (although
you'll sound like crap anyway being mobile so why worry about a Heil
mike?)

Not with a TS-50, you won't! Great audio, and it doesn't need a Heil.

A headset mike could be a real aid in dx-work so I thought of bying one,
and my friends recommended the Heil. My rig is IC-735. The preceding
postings have got me thinking, I am not gonna change the rig anyway, so
are there perhaps another make with less difficulties with the IC?

I'm adding a new feature to my Windows logging/packet system
XMLog. If you double click on a frequency displayed in the
packet window (e.g. a PacketCluster DX spot) I set the
appropriate mode/frequency for the rig.
I've got it working for my Kenwood 950 but I want to add
support for other radios. Can anyone give me the commands
and the port setup for other radios? For example, the 950
wants the serial port set to 4800 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop
bit, even parity. Commands to set the radio to 14.350 USB
would be:
FA00014350000; and
MD2;
I assume (hope) that Kenwood radios other than the 950 use
these same commands.
XMLog is freeware available at http://franklin.ptgi.com

Buy the FT-51. It has better "in-band" specs. A better display, and
lighted keys.

The FT51 has a standard BNC connector for the antenna. I remember
hearing that the FT50 has a strange connector. I have an FT51, and
hook it up to all kinds of antennas, all of which have BNC connectors
on the coax or the end of the rubber duck.
I also have a Kenwood 220 HT which has a non-standard connector
which means I am stuck using the rubber duck that came with it
until I can find some adapter to allow me to connect to a BNC or other
standard connector.
That is one thing I like about my FT51 besides what others have
already mentioned.

Hi and TIA:
I would like to modify my NC-42 charger to install a switch that would turn
off the quick-charge feature and just charge the battery up using the
trickle-charge rate. According to the 1 page documentation, trickle-charge
rate is 200ma. This is more than adequate for me most of the time.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies to my query about the tuner/linear amp
relationship. I have a specific question now:
Can anyone help with a wiring diagram for the Kenwood 9/8/450S Remote
plug? This gets wired to the twin phono plugs required at the linear's
ALC and Relay jacks. Unfortunately, the Kenwood manual only shows a neat
cable running between the two locations, but gives no pin information.
The Remote plug comes unwired, so I need the details!
Thanks in advance...

Be certain you understand the levels before you connect your Kenwood alc
to a linear alc line. If they are not compatible, you will damage your
transceiver.

Several months back I saw some post about a problem with the FT-5200
dual bander. I seem to have the same problem, when I'm transmitting on
2meter (high or low pwr) I'm getting alot of static noise in my
internal speaker and my external speaker. I do not have and trouble
with the 440 side at all. If anyone remembers or knows the cause or
fix please email me some info, thanks

I have two Kenwood Mobiles, One a 7950 and the other a 7930..They are
older but built like tanks and I would not part with them for the world.
My question: Did Kenwood build a matching 440 range radio? I am about
to redo my whole desktop unit and would like to accomodate another one
in the configuration if they did.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. I am new to ameteur radio and I am looking into purchasing my first
radio. It will probably be a 1 year old Kenwood TH-79a(d) with a
standard battery and wall charger. The person I will probably buy it
from is offering it to me for $350. Is this a good price? If not what
is? Appreciate your help.

For the same price, you can get a FT-50 (Yaesu) brand new.
http://members.gnn.com/hca/ft50/index.htm
has some good info on it. I'd go over features to determine which
radio you buy. The Ft-50 has a few the 79 doesn't, but so does the 79.
The 79 can recieve two freq's at once (like having two scanners), the
79 can do x-band repeat, but the 50 has more features (extended
recieve out of the box, 76-999, etc... 112 channels, DPL... digital
voice..

Sounds like a dirty/worn relay to me. Although my TS-930S/AT
doesn't have this problem, other radios have. There is a reed
relay handling T/R functions you might check out. Getting a
replacement might be pricey from Kenwood, though.

I have an FT-980 that's about 10 years old that has had a problem
since day one. When I operate FM on 10 meters, and I'm NOT running
full power, sometimes, when I key the mike, I see the output power
drop down then slowly recover. This whole ordeal lasts about 5 seconds
then all is fine. If I run the radio wide open, there's no trouble. I
have only noticed this on FM, other modes are OK. It does it into an
antenna or a dummy load. My thoughts are that the ALC circuit thinks
there is a problem at the antenna (relay too slow?). Per Yaesu's
suggestion, I have replaced the antenna relay with no help. I have to
admit I have not talked to anyone from Yaesu about this for a long
time. Someone told me that one of the ham mags had a piece on this
problem and how to fix it, but I have not found anything. I'm
wondering if anyone knows of a fix or mod for this.
Also, has anyone had problems with the VFO locking up at a cold start?
Mine seems to lock up for a few minutes. After this period, the dial
works fine. When it is locked up, I still can enter a desired
frequency manually using the keyboard on the radio.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks much...

Contact Malcom Technical Support at 509-732-8883. He is the best and cheapest
on the IC-22S radio. Many times the feed throughs will open and you have to
jumper every one of them remember the radio is over 20 years old now.

I have problem with Alpha 77 D amp - if I drive it with more than 25-30
watts, grid current goes high. Managed to tune KW+ one time, but after a
few minutes grid current started gg up/down. So, I can't tune it
properly for full output.It has been stored for a long period. The tube
is OK. Anybody had similar problem?
Anybody has any bright ideas.
Please reply directly to me,
Thanx
Marios (G0WWW)

Hello all. I have been looking at setting up my Kenwood TS850 in my
apartment.
I live in a 1-bedroom apartment in a complex that has three levels.
My ts850 puts out 100 watts.
Can anyone recommend a way I could get it installed and go
back to talking around the world again?
What kind of antennas work well in small spaces?
One of my other concerns is causing interference with
the phones, televisions, and stereos in the other apartments.
What can I do to make sure this doesn't happen?
I would appreciate any advice.
You can send your responses to ericp@teleport.com.
Thanks in advance.
Eric Patterson,

I want to return to HF after an absence of a few years. Am considering the
purchase of a new rig with about $1400 as the max to spend. My questions are:
The Yaesu FT-840 ($800) and the Icom IC-728 ($1200) are similar in features.
Is the Icom really worth the additional cost? Another rig that is of interest
is the Icom IC-738 ($1380). Does anyone have any expeience with this one?
Why does the IC-736 include a built in power supply and the IC-738 not?
Along these lines, if anyone would like to 'preach' about their favorite rig,
please do so. Reading specs and catalogs is one thing - hearing about actual
experiences is much more helpful!
Thanks!

I have a Cushcraft 5BTV vertical. Has been down for about 7 years.
The present state is unknown, was working fine when taken down.
Not much to go wrong, traps may need some clean-up.
This is 10-40 meters. There is a capacitance hat which is broken.
This is made up of four pieces of small tubing that streches out
horz about 24 inches. Can be easily rebuilt using old TV antenna
parts.
I am asking $75.00 for the antenna, local pick-up only in the Bay
area, San Jose to be exact. Will be happy to answer any questions.

Well.......... nancy.....
Actually there's more than one method for frequency inversion, but I'll
write about a simple one. Your voice audio is combined with another "mix"
frequency (usually much higher) in a circuit, typically a balenced type
modulator/mixer. The LM/MC/NE 1496 chip is used in alot of applications.
The output like the mixer of radio frequencies contain sum and
differences from all the combinations.
A method of selecting one of the "differences" with "inverted polarity"
is used, like a filter. This inverted information is sent on through the
system over the normal path and similar mixing and filtering of the
proper information gives you your original content or close to it.
Thats about as basic as it gets.
The problem with the "cheap" kits is the have little/no/very poor
filters. One kit I have depends on the bandwith of SSB radio 300Hz to
3.3KHz to act as the only filter and it's "pretty cheezy." It's not worth
the $29 I paid for it and it uses the LM1496 chip.
This is a very similar process to the generation of SSB in most radios,
pick up an SSB CB radio from the 80's and you'll get an idea of what's
going on.
Good luck, let me know if that's enough

It is unimportant whether or not the function.

ALSO, for now I would like to have photocopies of the HW16 and HG10B

I've never seen any mention of Icom's low-end HF transceiver, the
IC-707.
Has anyone on here used one? Or can someone provide a reference to a
review I might look up?
I checked Icom's Web site. There's no mention of the IF frequencies so
I assume it's double conversion (unlike the 728, 735, 736 etc. which use a
triple conversion scheme).
The Web site also doesn't indicate whether the narrow filters are an
easy plug-in proposition.
Comments?

Ron,
The ic707 is a very basic radio. However, it was created for the ham
who doesn't want anything fancy. A very good friend has one and it is
exactly what he wanted. No bells, no whisle's, but it performs very
well. I don't have the spec's but it put out a solid 100 w, good
receiver sensitivity, good tx audio, fair adjacent freq. rejection, no
menu's and VERY easy to operate. Truely an appliance operator' dream.
It fills a need for the 'hands-off" operator. Would be a nice 1st radio
for someone, as this one was. So far (1 1/2 years) no down time at all.
Rick, W7AV

Thanks to all who read and responded. There is a service bulletin and a
mod for "early" 735 radios (mine was). The service bulletin is
#13188-001, and adds two caps to the main board and changes three
components on the PL board. I'll get the components tomorrow and let you
know if it works.
The wierd thing is, no one told me I had a chirp for almost ten years! I
thought I was chasing a failure and it was a bug. This with three years
or more of field day full QSK operation. Oh well...
Thanks again and 73 -

Is the Icom 8500 general coverage recv worth the money ?
I see about 80% of the features in the newer radio shack

how do the specs compare ??

I posted an inquiry about 5 weeks ago querying repeated PLL board problems
with my IC245. The value of the newsgroup concept was never better proven
- I received about 10 replies - all referncing the disastrous design of the
PLL board in this rig.
Apparently Icom used metal in the board that forms a corrosive
electrochemical interface with solder and numerous junctions on the board
are in constant, progressive deterioration. conclusion that I quickly came
to is that this rig is a real lemon and investing any more time and/or
money to keep it going is pointless. Sorry to bring such bad news - and
thanks to all the others who rsponded to my plea for comments.

For those trying to find the IC, it is a 40 pin DIP with the following
on the top of the chip "ICOM 3062A NPC 7812".
The "do not open" label on the shielding case states that it is the
"ICOM C-MOS LSI for the Digital Phase Locked Loop" so my guess is
ICOM had this part produced in someone's fab, the stock is depleted,
and I'm SOL.

The initial "feel" of the New IC756 is good TX/RX audio is gud with nice
reports being rxd.
You cannot monitor dual watch out of band, it has to be the same band.
DSP is nice with the NR cct, and TX audio can be tailored.
another great seller?.....quite so!

Is this a production release at last or just the prototype that was
floating around the UK about 6 weeks ago?

My Icom 02-AT 2 meter handheld transceiver has failed for no apparent
reason. It will not receive or transmit. Attempting to transmit at
either power setting causes the display to flash, and it is not the
batteries. Connecting the output to a power meter shows that it delivers
power briefly, but then shuts down. I also seems to be receiving some
kind of signals as it is tuned, but they aren't voice. It is possibly
receiving out of band. Does any body have experience with a problem like
this or with repairing this model of radio? Please email to

I've never worked on the 02AT, but that sounds like the PLL is not locking
up...

Sounds like the VCO went to lunch.. You might try a tweek on the

If your 02AT's problem not due to a mistuned VCO( usually the result of
previous weaking and failure to reseal the slug again with wax) then I
would hazard a bet that it's the synthesizser's reference crystal gone
west. It's the wire leaded rock that is attached to two pins of the PLL
IC(right next to the VCO). Usre a 10 MHz or better Oscope and look at
one of the two leads, you should see a very heathy sine wave(>2 v). Also
try this: ID the crystal, then hit it with a SMALL amount of "freeze"
spray. If this magicaly brings the radio back to life, that's your
answer. Repalce the rock, because after it warms back up it will
instantly die again. You can install the new rock by cliping back the
leads from the old rock, flush with it's case. This leaves you with
enough lead to solder to the new rock, eliminating the need to remove
the radio's PC board. You will also need to use a freq counter to look
at the radio's TX freq. Adjust the trim capacitor on one side of the
ref crystal, so as the radio operates on the correct frequency. Remember
to leave the radio set on Low power if you test TX with the back cover
off, as this is the heat sink for the PA module(the thing covered in
white goop). Good luck 73s DE WA1YKL

I need a copy of the service manual for the IC02-AT 2 meter hand held. I
have already checked w7fg vintage manuals on the web and they don't have
that particular one. I have called Icom too and they can't sell me one
because it is out of print. They can fix the radio though, for $75/hr,
plus parts! I would like to try and fix it myself, but would prefer to
get a manual first. I will pay for reproduction and other minor expenses.
Please email me at JLOlivares@aol.com.

They all use 2 meter AM MODE. I saw in the recent literature in QST in
JANUARY that the 706 no longer supports "AM MODE" anymore.Is this true?

rEAD THE jANUARY QST "Icom" advertisement as well as the AES ICOM PAGE
in QST MAGAZINE. It says "no AM mode on 2 meters" or "ALL MODE on

Who are these 2m AMers? I've never heard of anyone using 2m AM since years
ago when SSB and FM gear became available. I wonder why they're using it?

Mostly nostalgia value. In the 50s and 60s AM was the voice mode of choice
on VHF, and alot of commercial and homebrew gear was built up. Some of that
gear has become classic, like the "twoer", and some of the old hallicrafters
gear, and so on. It's neat to be able to operate that mode with the boat-
anchor VHFers.

Good greif, There have been NO Changes to the IC-706 since it was introduced
in October 1995. Yes the IC-706 still has all the modes it was introduced wit
h
including 2 meter AM.
Looks like ICOMs advertising dept over looked the 2 meter AM mode in the

Thanks Gary. The ads in January QST seemed to imply no more "AM" mode on
2 meters. Thanks for setting me straight.Also, all the people who told
me about the ICOM 706A version and Icom 708 have seemed to dissappear
from the face of the earth?Perhaps ICOM put "ELIMINATED THEM"!
The Yaesu Rep at the BOXBORO MASSACHUSETTS ARRL convention did go on
the record saying that Yaesu will have a copy of the Icom 706 but with
440 mhz included (35 watts output all modes on 2 and 440 mhz). Available
in the Spring of 1997!

No one in this country (U.S.) has purchase one yet. They have not
been type accepted by the FCC and therefore cannot be sold.

there have any experience with this new rig. I know the radio is being
sold overseas and has not been American FCC type accepted yet. Any

I recently purchased an ICOM IC-211 2-meter all-mode transceiver and
had it completely aligned by ICOM so it is working very well and is a
nice companion to my ICOM IC-701 HF rig (the two are virtual twins).
The only problem I've run into so far is trying to get the memory
backup working properly. According to the manual, the four-pin plug on
the rear panel has a jumper between Pin 1 (13.8VDC input) and Pin 2
(13.8VDC output) since I'm using its internal power supply. The manual
also states that I can use a 6 to 12VDC power source connected between
Pin 3 (6-12VDC input) and Pin 4 (Ground) so the rig will maintain the
current frequency when it is turned off. However, when I connect a 9V
battery as shown in the manual, the rig is powered on -- even when the
power switch is off and AC power is removed.
I know this can't be correct because a friend has an IC-211 with a 9V
battery connected in the same manner and his rig operates correctly.
When he pushes the power switch, the rig turns off; when turned on
again, it restores the previous frequency. I have compared our two
rigs and can't find any obvious differences, but neither of have
schematics. Any ideas?

Hi, and thanks for reading this message.
A few months ago I bought a used IC-W21-AT. It seems to work ok but,
italso seems to be a lot deaf in the weak signal department. With the wide
band recv. capability, the display will go down to 60 MHz, but the radio
will not hear anything below abut 115 Mhz.
Q?...Is that normal or is my radio sick.
At the upper end, the band from 860 to 880 MHz also will not hear anything
and we all know there is plenty of RF there.
Q?> Is the IC-W21-AT locked out from that band, or is my radio sick.
Generally speaking, the radio also is less sensitive that any radio's I
have compared it to in HAM bands.
If you have one of these radios, I would like to hear you reply so I can
determine whether or not to send it in for svc.
Thanks Much 73's Bob KD4LGW

I have one of these and though it had never been opened the coax from
the antenna to the circuit board broke, poor solder joint I guess,
anyway the local radio store found it and fixed it for $30 or so.
I don't have wide band in it, but bear in mind just because the display can
count to some number does not mean the radio electronics can cover to
there. Filters and oscillators hav limits in there design that
precludes anyrange to anyrange without alot of complexity. You may be
seeing this.
Hopes this helps!

I am looking for a 1.5KW 160-10 amplifier and have been offered a QRO
HF-2000. I have never seen one except for a picture in QST and would
like to have any information from those who have used or who own one.
Specifically is it REALLY well built and suitable for heavy duty use in
contests. What would the power output be on 10M with 100W drive? Also
feel free to E-Mail if you have an amplifier for sale that would meet the
need.
Thanks.

It should work fine on both those bands - just go to the closest band
and tune it up!

Give Kenwood a call and explain your request. Send them a copy of
your license and they will mail you the instructions to add the 10M
selection to your amp. You will also need some 120pf silver mica
caps to complete the mod.

Hello,
I recently recive a Micor Radio from a friend. It appear to be a Repeater
and 70 Watt Radio in one unit. I would like to use the 70Watt radio on
packet and maybe get the repeter to work. The repeter seem to have a built
in controler and Duplexers. I am missing the control head and do not
have any kind of manule for it. Can someone give me info on where to get a
control head and how to modify it to the 2m Amateur band. Any any other
information on the Radio would be a great Help.
Here is some info that I have:
Motorola Micro | FM Two Way Radio
FCC Xmit Data: CC3161
Model No.: X83RTA3407BA
Serial No.: SG3690

What is the current draw in tx on 2m. If it is normal then the diode
switch is probably out. Let me know and we can go from there.

I may be wrong but I think the 733 is being dropped from the kenwood line.
I did not see it on the Kenwood web page any more http://www.kenwood.net
The TM-V7A is the sucessor.

I went through the same debate about 8 months ago. I chose the Kenwood and am
happy with it. I own two other radios, both Yaesu, so I'm not one of those
people who only buys one brand.
I had a friend put the Kenwood on his bench and give it the once over. He's
got ALL of the cool diagnostic toys! I was astonished to see that this radio
was functioning to spec, even the receive sensitivity! This very rarely
happens with modern HAM equipment. I had heard from others that the 733 was
the way to go. The friend that did the testing for me, told me that he had
tested a few of the 5200's and not been as impressed with them.
One of the things that sold me on the 733, was the remote mount capabilities.
I could be wrong, but it seems like the 733 is a little more versatile in this
area.
I regularly move the rig between cars and have had no problems, so far, with
the RJ-45 MIC jack. One advantage of this connection, is that it is actually
easier to work with than the DIN plugs. If you have a problem, you just simply
crimp on a new end. This is much easier than working with DIN plugs.
I regularly drive through some "intermod alleys" and have found that the
Kenwood handles them fairly well. The Advanced Intercept Point feature does a
good job of limiting this type of interference.
I haven't used the cross-band repeat feature on this rig yet, so I can't
comment on that.
Honestly, I think both are fine rigs. You just need to determine which has the
right feature mix for you.

You may be right. I just bought the 733A with duplexer & lighted mike
from AES for $399. My son has the same rig. I also have the Yaesu 5200.
They are both top notch rigs.
The 5200 is easier to use out of the box without looking at the manual,
but Kenwood has a better idea in the remote mount.
When the Yaesu 5200 is remotely mounted, the front panel cannot be
removed from the vehicle without removing very small screws and
losing them. The 733A panel snaps off the base unit OR the remote
mount. In addition, the Kenwood is easier to pop off.

I dont think my first post made it to Cyberspace. If it did please excuse
this second post.
I have been playing with a new Kenwood TM-V7A for a few days now.
The BLUE display which I was worried about looks great in real life.
The photos ont do it justice.
The display gets lots of WOWSs from passengers in my car. It has a dimmer
contrast and reverse mode (to fight bordom I suppose).
The display looks far better than my old 733. The letters are much larger and
easy to read while driving.
I am sure other new radios are also easy to use. You can use this one without
manual after you spend a little time with it. The menus are very friendly.
The V7A scans memories 2 or 3 times faster than the 733 (my previous radio).
You can contol most of the functions right from the mike. Including changing
bands, scanning, call channel changing to dual UHF or dual VHF, VHF and UHF et
c.
It has 180 memories if you use the alpha name tags for the memories.
I like that best. Now I know what repeater Im on insed of memorizing the freq.
It displays both the Freq and name at the same time.
I dont work for Kenwood - this is not an ad.
But I plan to buy another one of these for the home base.

My TM-V7A arrived. I have been playing with it for a few days.
My initial fear the BLUE display would not look good were needless.
The display looks great. It has a dimmer, contrast and reverse setting.
There is no problem with the display in even bright sunlight.
The display gets losts of "WOWs" from passengers in my car.
The alph name tags for memory (180 memories) is the feature that
attracted me most. Now I know which repeater Im on by name (freq number
is also displayed).
The letters are all very large on the display and much more readable
than the Kenwood 733 (my other radio).
This radio scanns memory and freq. 2 or 3 times faster than the 733.
The menu system is very good. Once you "fool" with is you dont need the
manual (loose the 733 manual and your sunk).
The controls are all very well placed.
I plan on buying a second TM-V7A soon.
Only one nit. There is no mute feature (currently). Kenwood indicated
this "may" be comming soon and would fix me up.
Its a super radio (not that any of the other new radios are not as good).

Thanks for the early review. A couple questions:
How does it compare to the 733 for intermod rejection? (That's my only
real complaint with my 733, but yeah, I go to the cheat sheet once in a
while for a rarely-used function.)
How much $$$?

It still gets intermod. I live a mile from New York City. Tall buildings
with loads of antennas of every kind. At home I use a "notch" filter for
440. The notch filer costs $66 and elimintate 98% of intermod. My hand
held Yeasu FT-50R was just about unuseable at home on a roof antenna
without that filter.
The V7A is slightly better than the 733. Its much better on the display
and programing.
When you go to add a channel to memory on the V7A it displays a triangle
that is empty if the memory is empty and solid if the memory already has
something in it. Helps prevent memory overwrite.
Also the characers are much larger on the V7 you can actually read them
while driving.
When I got the V7 I moved the 733 indoors on a power supply. That gave me
a chance to explore all the features on the 733. The 733 has loads of
great "stuff" you can do.
The 733 has all that wrapped into an easier to use better display.
Has anyone ever used the 733 with one channel for packet and one for
voice?
Thanks

I bought one of the new TM-V7As from HRO in Anaheim. I checked early on (I wa
s
sold by the ad on the back of QST) and was told that they did not have any in
stock and the ones they had on back-order were already "spoken for" with signe
d
checks.
I walked in the following Saturday and asked for one expecting to hear "Januar
y
some time...". My bluff was called when they said "SURE!" and produced one in
the box :-). I pulled out my checkbook and quickly purchased my new TM-V7A.
---
I know many of you will call me nuts but... I've mounted the unit on my PC800
motorcycle and I've got a small problem.
The remote display looks great (if you can steer clear of cars staring at my
dash!). I've re-wired the MC-53DM microphone to allow the PTT and the DTMF
keypad to be used while riding.
I have to reroute the microphone to my helmet. I've done this in the past
using some 49MHZ radios. In short, the microphone does not work!
I removed the microphone from the MC-53DM circuit board and wired my helmet
microphone directly to these two pins but no go. Is there something special
about this microphone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'll also answer any questions anyone
might have on the TM-V7A in terms of setup etc. I think I've used all the
features (I really like the visual scan!).

It is true the TM-V7A does not have the MUTE feature the 733 (and
virtually all dual band radios) have.
This is a shame. You can work almost all the features on the radio from
the mike. Unfortunatly you have to work the volume knobs on the face of
the display by reaching over.
I called Kenwood about this at 310-639-5300 They said its been raised with
Japan - Kenwood what ever that means.
You can express your joy to Kenwood via email at cuyeda@ix.netcom.com
Being a 733 owner it appeared they adressed all the improvements that the
733 needed (faster scan, alpha names, larger characters on the display,
better display, memory already uses indicator, built in ctss decoder,
easier to use menu system and much more). But they screwed up on the MUTE.
If they fix the mute this radio will be the best mobil rig I have used or
looked at (in my opinion and I have not seen them all).
Kenwood said if mute is added I could have it added to mine. So this is
some software control feature.
On the mike the letter C controls the mute feature on the 733. Letter C is
unassigned on the V7A

Would anyone know the specifics of the display bulbs used in the Kenwood TR-75
1A all-mode
2-meter transmitter? I recently purchased a used one, and one of the bulbs (t
he right one
in the numerical display) is burned out. I would appreciate knowing the name
of the bulb,
whether it can be purchased at a Radio Shack, if so a model # or voltage requi
rements....
anything to help replace it.
Thanks in advance, 73 and a Merry Christmas to all.

Hello!
I just picked up a couple of Kenwood 2m FM transcievers, TR-7730, and am
looking for an owner's manual and a service manual. One of the units
needs some work, as they say....!
If you have either of the above manuals, or know where they may be

Has anyone found an easy, non-instrument fix for PLL unlock on the TS
940? My rig gets "watery" sounding on receive when stone-cold and
sometimes loses PLL lock where the VFO goes to all decimal points and
receive goes dead.
The rig comes back to life when warmed-up and then behaves normally for
the rest of the day.
Kenwood service bulletin says to recalibrate three transformer slugs on
the PLL board for a fairly low (I believe 450 uV) at a TP9 on this
board, but the fix requires an RF millivoltmeter which I don't have.
I have had limited success with scrubbing the flux residue off the board
(I don't know why), cleaning the connectors, and retouching some
somewhat cold appeaing solder joints on the PLL board, but the rig still
sometimes gets that watery sound although far less frequently.
Any ideas for a non-instrument fix? What has worked for you?

That is truer than you think. The exam pool for a pilot's license is fully
available just as are the amateur radio questions. It is possible to
memorize every possible question and answer. Of course, the written exam
alone is but a small part of a pilot's training - it seemed to me to almost
be an after thought where it is the only exam given for a ham radio
license.

Dick, I have used DX4WIN for a year now and like it very much. It
is easy to use and will import other logging programs files if you
have your logbook antered into another program. It must be run under
windows.

I am looking for a very good PC Logging-program for the HF bands. At this
moment i just started with a unregistered version of Log-EQF. I consider to
register to this program, to use al the facillities of this program, such
as the WAS, Prefix and DXCC modules, but a friend-amateur attended me to
the
DXbase logprogram (Scientific Solutions) as a very good and comprhensive
logging and DX-logging program.
Before i start to enter the logs of the qso's i already made into a
logprogram in my PC, i want to make the right choice for a good program,
otherwise i have to re-enter my logs into another programs. So who can
give me some advise and tips about good and priceworthy loggingprograms and

The other problem: watchdog timeouts, and other processor problems
that require rebooting a system take a fraction of a second on an Scom
or Link Comm, or something with a dedicated processor with solid state
memory. On a PC- even if you go with costly solid state disk
technology (rather than a physical hard disk like most use with the
PCRC) reboots mean the repeater is QRT for at least 15 seconds.
I had one of these, and although reboots were only occasional (and
often times due to beta software)- I considered this less than
acceptable. Audio qual is excellent, software upgrading is easy like
the all-mighty wanted, but the programming is quirky in comparasion to
Link, Scom, ACC, CAT or whatever else.

I don't know if it's of any use to you but Waters and Stanton over
here in the UK sell a Mizuho pocket HF SSB and CW 2 Watt transceiver
for ú279.95 , although my catalogue is six months old, I don't think
the price will have changed much. They do sell by mail order, but if I
was you I would have a look round in the States as amateur equipment
generally tends to be a lot more expensive over here!
There are 3 models of radio
MX-3.5S (3.525-3.550 MHz)
MX-7S (7.075-7.100 MHz)
MX-14S (14.200-14.250MHz)
A range of accessories are also available, and frequency coverage is
determined by a variable crystal oscillator and the rig received a
favourable review in Practical Wireless a couple of years ago.
If you want to contact Waters and Stanton for more information, their
address is:-
Waters and Stanton electronics,
22,Main Road,
Hockley,
Essex.
SS5 4QS
England.
their phone number is
+ (44) for the UK
01702 206835
Their Fax number is
+(44) 01702 205843
I hope that is of some use to you Ira, best wishes for Christmas and
the new year.

I am hoping someone might have information I where i
could purchase a low noise amplifier.
I am looking for something with roughly these specs:
operating freq: 250 MHz
bandwidth: just about anything would work..it is for a
narrow band application
Gain: hoping for 15-20 dB
Noise Figure: hoping for around 1dB
package: Ideally chip or surface mount form
Low power application and supply voltage and current
are flexible.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Get a GSI drive controller; they have an on-board BIOS that will make
your drive work just fine. Try the big mail-order computer shops; shoud
cost about $45.00 for a GSI model 21. I've used several for upgrading
old computers, and they work great. Of course, a new motherboard works
well, too.....

Eric you have a single frequency, no PL, 45 watt Motorola micor
Here's how Motorola comes up with the model number:
T43RTN-1100B
4=45 watt transmitter .. 5= 60 watt .. 6= 90 watt 7= 110 watt
3=high band .. 1= low band .. 4= 450
R="R" receiver(Motorols model designator)
T="T" transmitter (Motorola model designator)
N= No power Supply or 12V radio
1=carrier squelch .. 3 would mean private line
1=do not know what this digit specifies
0=one frequency .. 9 would mean multiple frequency up to 4
0=do not know what this digit specifies
I hope that helps a little. Maybe some could add to my list of model
designator meanings from the BIG "M"

Sure...No problem...
Txy...the T means transistorized radio or power supply (first used on the
T Power T51 etc series radios....Transistor switching supplies with TUBES
in the rigs...G series strips)
X=9 is a 330 watt base station (also called quarter kilowatt)...
y=2 is 72-88 Mhz midband special
5 is 800-900 Mhz
I have a complete listing of Motorola and GE combo numbers and their
meanings...will try to post them soon

Help. Anyone out there have a D1010 amp ? I recently purchased one
over the 'net, but can't get it to work. It has two unidentified
connectors on the back. Also a couple of internal adjustment pots.
What do they do? A schematic or manual or any help would be
greatly appreciated. I'll pay copying and postage. Thanks.

Dave,
The IC-740 is Amateur band Only and will not extend beyond the Amateur bands.
The modification you see is the WARC modification that clears the transmit
muting on the 18 and 24 Mhz bands as they were not legal at the introduction o
f
the IC-740 transceiver for sale in the U.S.

Does anyone know if there are mods available for the HR2600 10M mobile
radio? I have an HTX-100 that I performed the mods published in the ham
mods files on the Net, and I am very pleased with the improvement in
modulation obtains, and the RIT-XIT mod works quite well also. The
simple instructions also permitted me to increase the RF output from 25W
to 40W without any difficulty. If there is a source for mods for the
2600, please let me know...

The computer system here shows that the old part number (NLN-5096D) now
points to a manual number. This is usually a page of explanation as to why
a part is no longer available. The price also went to zero on our computer
system for the NLN-5096D. This is another clue to me that the part is NLA
from Moto.

Well, Gosh John, I guess if you had taken just a moment to read the
manual that you were refered to, you would have seen that the NEW PART
NUMBER was REX1090A. NSO of $43.25, list of $60.25. NSO will be
$45.00 as of the first of the year.
And, if you took that a step further, and checked PARTSNET, you might
have even found that Motorola has SCADS of this part in stock!
But of course, you would rather take the oppurtunity to tell me all
about your clues!

Any wonder why so many Motorola Dealers have no faith in technical
support from Motorola any more? Standard Two way is fine, but
Hi-Tech, and trunking, federal systems, well, not worth the 800 call!

Our club has need for a schematic or manual for several repeaters we
recently acquired. These units are retired US Forest Service VHF Units
made by Motorola. They are reportedly 15 watts and are marked with model
number SP3149902. We would be very grateful for any help that you might
provide as our local radio techs are not familiar with these units. We
will gladly pay for the costs associated with obtaining these materials.
Thanks in advance for your help.

This is an early 80's vintage mobile

the tools (PROM burner) but lack the

Any help would be appreciated.

I mounted a TM-732 (same basic radio) in my '94 Grand Cherokee by taking
out the ashtray and making a flat plate the same size as the control
head, plus about 1/4" in height. Drilled two holes in the plate above
the control head and used small sheet metal screws to go into the
plastic lip above where the ashtray closed.
Put the radio and duplexer on a sheet of 1/4" plywood about 12" square
and put the whole thing under the drivers seat..The remote cable from
the head can be stuffed under the left side of the console, and the
power cable from the radio does the same. Mic connector got screwed to
the side of the console by the drivers seat.
Radio power was obtained from the fuse block (I know..I Know..you're
supposed to go to the battery directly, but it works fine and has for 2+
years). I went on the cig lighter fuse since its 15a and not used by
me. Grounded to the frame at the fuse block.
Antenna cable was run along the left side of the vehicle to the tail
gate and out it. I use a mag mount antenna at the left rear of the roof
and the cable runs thru the gasket on the tail gate. Hasn't leaked
yet!! Just don't run the cable at right angles to the gasket, kind of
run it parallel to the gasket and let it slowly transition from outside
to inside over about 12-18" while decending along the left side of the
tailgate.
I put a remote speaker up under the dash on the drivers side. I just
cable-tied it to the wire harness there and let it hang..I'ts out of
sight and you can hear it fine..I used a Motorola land mobile speaker
with the mounting bracket lashed to the wire harness.
Good luck...Doesn't take more than a couple of hours to do it this way
and it comes out with no evidence of every being there..

I'd do it with a PIC, but could you use a rotary switch, shorting type?
To get from position 0 to position 3, it goes through positions 1 and 2...
and to get back from 3 to 0, it goes through 2 and 1.

I am in need of a power supply that will work with a Ten Tec Triton IV.
Does anyone have one for sale? I believe it wants 18 amp. Would like a
Ten Tec brand if possible. Also need a Mic for the same.

I hope someone can answer this. I have an Eico 955, in circuit
capacitance tester. The unit is missing the test lead. I understand
the cable used for this lead is most important for an accurate
reading. Does anyone have a clue as to what the origional test cables
designation was?
Any help will be most appreciated.
Please reply via e-mail, since I don't frequent this group.

From your GIF image, I'd say it's a HyGain 18-AVT five-band vertical.
I can't help with a manual, but at least you know what it is now. :)

I concur...it looks like an 18 AVT/WB from the graphic, although your
description is a little confusing. I don't know about extra sections for
"phone" use.
Contact Telex/Hy-Gain. They are good about providing manuals free or for
just a few bucks.

It's a HUSTLER 4BTV (maybe a 5BTV). It might work fairly well on
10-40 meters, but it's worthless on 75-80. They're about $139 new
now.

Your antenna is a Hy-Gain 18AVT-WB. I had two of 'em. They're still be
sold by Hy-Gain.

I need the MARS/CAP mod for the Icom 765 transceiver. I understand that
it involves diode D54? This is missing from my unit, but still can not
transmit on 75m.

I posted a message yesterday but have not seen it appear yet. I just
received my new ICOM W32A
today and need any mods and hidden features lists. I know that there is a
800 MHz mod and I really want that one since I am in the 2-Way business and
have many 800 MHz customers.
I have looked at several WWW mod sites but find nothing on the W32A. I know
that it can be done since someone locally (at a ham shop) has one modified
but he wants $$$ to do the mod himself. Sorry but I rather "hack up" my own
HT myself!

It's easy. Turn the power off on the radio. Hold down BAND, SQUELCH, and
POWER for 5 seconds.
The receiver on the left side now has additional bands. It now covers 108 thr
u 999 MHz EXCEPT
for cellular and 200-300. The mod will not erase any memories that you've alr
eady programmed. Kudos
to ICOM for making it so easy!
If anybody has discovered how to enable the transmitter (only for use on t
he bench as a signal
generator!), I'd like to hear about it.

A new Icom radio control program designed specifically for the 706
has been posted to the ARRL section of oak.oakland in the
pub/hamradio/arrl/bbs/programs
subdirectory.
The following is from the readme file:
The Icom 706 is a revolutionary radio that provides HF through 2
meter coverage in an extremely compact package suitable for mobile
operation. However, I found that when I used the radio at home, it
lacked many of the features that I had come to expect from an HF or VHF
transceiver. IC-706 was written to restore most of these features and
add a number of others. It includes fully computerized radio control
with the following major features.
1. Direct frequency entry.
2. Ability to skip directly to any memory in the radio.
3. Addition of an unlimited number of other memories identified by
name.
4. Automatic repeater offset.
5. Ability to tune repeater output frequencies and have the input
frequency track.
6. Ability to easily listen on the input.
7. Ability to monitor the transmit frequency when operating split on HF
(the equivalent of a Kenwood TF-SET button).
8. A wide range of tuning steps (including those most appropriate for
repeater work).
9. Rudimentary frequency tracking functions for working mode A and
mode K satellites.
10. Extremely close tracking between the tuning knob on the radio and
the display on the computer screen.
11. Automatic selection of any serial port from Com1 through Com8.
Enjoy,
John WA0PTV

JUST saw in the Icom Japan Web Page that Icom is coming out with a new
MARINE/AMATUER HF RIG. It is called the IC-710.It supposedly costs 1/2
the price of similar radios of its class. It puts out 150 watts on HF
and is all mode. 350 hz CW RITTY filter included. There are two
versions. Version one is MARINE BAND transmit only. Version two is
BOTH MARINE/AMATUER transmit FCC OK. Both radios have general coverage
receive.NO Price yet.

I am looking to buy either one of these units, but would like some
feedback from some current users. My main use for the unit will be on
CW and there mainly for random noise reduction, I am not really too
concerned about the bandwidth filters. I want to "clean" up the
audio, and reduce the atmospheric and other random noise and be able
to copy weak signals. Also am concerned about the amount (if any) of
audio amp noise in the filter (HISS). Thanks! Please email info
directly. I will post the results.

I tried to buy the DSP599ZX in October at HRO in Sunnyvale, but Timewave
doesn┤t deliver! None of the HRO stores had it in stock and no
deliveries had been made for several weeks! The shop owner suspect some
problems with the equpiment. Performance is quite equal to the 599+,
only dispaly and braoder BW differs. Noise cancelling should be equal.

Tim:
I can give a vote of confidence to the NIR-12 unit. It will clean-up
just about any noise in the audio. I use mine with a Kenwood TS680
during contest time, and it's a godsend. Be careful with the controls
on CW; you could mask out the tones you're trying to hear along with
or even instead of the noise you want to get rid of. Read the
instructions carefully!
A word of warning: after a couple of hours, the box will get very
warm to the touch. Don't think it's a problem, just provide for some
air movement around the piece.
There doesn't appear to be any noise from the audio amp output from
the NIR-12. You'll probably have some noise left as artifacts of the
filtering process, but that's about it.
Oh yeah, almost forgot. Use shielded cable for all connections, even
the DC power. This will stave off rf feedback.

Well, the requirement for the highest level FAA license is still "only"
1500 hours and not all that has to be PIC (Pilot in Command) time, but that
can still take all the money you have and then some.

I don't disagree with you - you attributed someone else's quote to me,
though. Those words are not mine. My post followed that one.

I am trying to find blueprints for the construction of a 70cm duplexer.
The ARRL Antenna book has a great set of directions for a 2M duplexer,
but I have not been able to find the 70cm equivilant. A co-worker of
mine owns his own machine shop, so I can get one made fairly cheaply
(better than paying $500+ for a commercially made one, anyway). If
anyone can suggest (or even supply) construction directions for this I
would certainly appreciate it! Email replies would be preferred but I
will try and check back in the newsgroups in a couple of days.
Thanks!

You should be able to simply scale those plans, IE reducing every
dimension by 3 would yield a set of 432 MHz duplexers. To reach
440 MHz, you'd reduce everything by slightly more than 3.

I am looking for the power connectors for a couple of older rigs.
KLM Multi-2700. It takes a square-looking connector that Radio Shack
use to sell a few years ago. Must be some out there.
Kenwood TS-820S. Complex connector. Does anybody know a source?
I have the manuals for both radios, but the connectors got tossed in a
move some years back. Also looking for the connector for the External
VFO on the Kenwood TS-820S. (9 pin tube type style).
Any help, ideas, would greatly be appreciated. Trying to clean up these
new additions for a friend.

After you get the freq on the dial, press the memory button (1-0) you
wish to save it in and then push the M button to write to memory....then
press MR to recall the memories....
Hope that fixes you up

Pyramid for a replacement?

I've got a Tenma PS and the fan is AC, and it's not in a box (open
blades).
This fan is EXTREMELY quiet (never know it's on!).
You can get fans like the 3 inch square DC from:
Mouser at http://www.mouser.com
Digi-Key at http://www.digikey.com
or probably a couple other places, too, but these guys usually don't
have
minimum orders (always a bonus).
Enjoy,
Phil

Just for information...Mouser no longer requires minimum amount orders.

Sounds like an RF alignment problem. If that is the only problem band would
suggest finding a station near the dead spot and aligning that band only.

Don is exacly right and brings up another T/O point - similar happenings on
AM - have seen a number of T/Os that have had the WaveMagnet cord (one with
the red plastic diaper that plugs into the chassis) that apparently were
yanked out of the plug and soldered back reversed. This is a no-no. On a
-600 if you pop the WM out of the case and flip upside down and reception
improves dramatically on BC - this is the likely culprit - check for
melted plastic and solder blobs on the plug.

I use Microsoft Word 6.0, clipart, and standard 4x6 inch plain index
cards. Cheap & they actually look o.k. Had a few complaints due to the
oversize (compared to commercial qsl's) but many dx qsl's are differently
sized as well. E-mail me if you would like one of my Word templates.

Hello Jerry,
I don't know about the Ramsey Kits, but Ten-Tec sell a great 2 meter FM
transciever kit that already has the 5 PIN DIN connector on the PCB. The
kit is very easy to build with easy to follow directions. Support if you
should need it is great. I bought the kit for $195. The phone number for
info is 432 453-7172. the model of the 2 meter kit is 1220. They also
have a 220 Mhz and a 6 meter kit.
good luck

I have a Ramsey HR-40 all-mode receiver and a
Ramsey QRP-40 1-watt QRP transmitter with a
crystal for 7.035, which with the VXO gives
7.033 to 7.039 operation. XMTR works
fine. Rcvr is not so hot, but a good tweaker
would be able to make it work pretty well.
Could use an RF stage, I think.
The transmitter is in a nice little aluminum box,
the receiver is just the PCB.
Have both original manuals. Both kits are assembled
(not by me).
Trade for homebrew parts - tube sockets, variable caps,
AC power transformers for tube projects, coil stock,
vernier knobs, HV transmitter caps, etc. etc. Anything
you have considered. Or $35 (yuck - who wants money!
I want parts!!)
AC transformers especially welcome! (300 to 1000 vac CT)

Just wondering if anyone has a good idea on how to mod a Realistic WX
alert radio model 12-140. It seems to use one crystal as a reference for
the 3 WX service frequencies. I would like to know if I could drop a
crystal in there to reference something in the 147.00MHz range so I could
tune it to rx 147.060 and others in the area. I am also curious what the
tones are that actually set off the alarm. I would like to set it to go
off if someone does a long-tone zero on our repeater. If I knew what the
tones were that set it off, I could program our repeater controler to emit
those tones after a LTZ.
Anyone ever try this? Does this make sense. Please reply via email and
posting if at all possible.
Thanks,
JWP

I haven't opened up this version of the radio, but I converted several
of the weather cubes that RS used to sell. All that was required on
them was changing the resistance of the reostat on the tuning circuit,
I don't remember the exact values, but they used a variactor which had
enough range to get down to the 2 meter band.

Marty,
How did you address this message?
Use the same technique except put in the rec.radio.swap address.
I use Netscape, and would go to the Netscape News screen and select the
"To:News" Icon to send out an article to a newsgroup.

Question:
I've read the reports, got the specs and am going to buy in a 10 days
time. What would I be best off with ?
I'm looking for reports on everyday use since I will need this HH as
safety and as a "toy" for my newfound and growing hobby. I want it to
be my rig for the next couple of years until I get a higher license
and I want it to be the best choice !!! :-)
Please email me with your impressions and reports and please please do
it sometime before 24-12-96 as I will not be in touch with
civilisation the next 4 months or so.
Merry Christmas and Happy newyear to all

I need some advice . . .
I'm rebuilding a very old rotator and want to clean and
repack the bearings. Is white lithium grease the proper
one to use? Where does one find the proper grease?
I've read that axle grease should not be used.
The lowest temperature in the winter here is mid 20's.
Any other advice?
Thanks in advance for any advice and Seasons Greetings.

Any of several solutions come to mind. The folks that dig septic
tanks have equipment to dig holes like what you describe. They are
usually quite reasonable. Any good backhoe service would be able to
dig it for you. The folks who dig piers for house foundations also
are able to move dirt.

David,
Contact your local utilities company. They often have drilling rigs to
put down telephone/light poles. I use one from a private electrical
contractor. Please be careful on your "new to you" tower. Contact the
manufacturer for proper guying procedures/anchor specs. Please inspect
it very carefully for rust, corrosion, etc. Check inside tubes if not
solid rod. Update life insurance policy!

A bit of advice on using a backhoe to dig the hole for a tower. All tower
mfgs strongly suggest you NOT use any back hoe type digging. Reason is you
need to dig the hole straight down, pour concrete and let the concrete use
the sides of the ground as part of its support. If you backhoe a 45 cubic
foot hole you cannot "backfill the excess hole after the concrete form is
poured. The backfill cannot support the lateral tension of the concrete.
I just did a 4x4x6 hole two weeks ago. I used a post hole digger making a
6 hole grid and then cleared the rest with a shovel. Think of
gravedigging, I know I did.

David, This is a very uncommon size hole for a tower. Most guyed towers
are set in this size hole, but not this deep. Most self supporting towers
are set in much larger holes depending on the height. Most larger towers
use 4 holes about this size, one for each leg. It would help if you state
what type tower you are putting up and the antennas you plan to put on it.
I had to call a pier drilling truck (they also set poles for the utility
company). They charge anywhere from $60 to $100 per hour from the time
they leave their shop. They can dig a hole like this in 30 minutes in
normal soil or a couple of hours of so in rock. It cost me $480 for 8
hours to dig my antenna holes in rock. There were four 18 inch x 5 1/2 ft
and 1 30 inch x 4 1/2 foot plus a 9 inch x 9 foot trying to get through the
rock for a ground rod, but it never came out the other side. Good Luck.

Good day one and all.......
David as for the backhoe, forget it......I've spent a number of years
running one and unless you have one of the really small ones, you can't
dig a hole 2.5 ft. in diameter and 6.5 ft. deep. It just can't happen
and leave the surrounding ground undisturbed. Sorry.
Having spent some time in the world of construction, the way I see it
you have 2 choices. 1. Gat a shovel and someone with a small kester
that can dig and fit into a 2.5 ft. hole. Yes, I know it is not very
likely but, it is a way. 2. Talk with the local electric company. They
have a truck that is used to set electric poles which has an auger that
can dig a round hole. Most of these trucks will dig somewhere between
18 and 30 in.. Some have differant sized augers to dig the needed dia.
hole.
If you can talk them into digging the hole you may have to exchange
diameter for depth. I'm sure there are some eng. type folks out there
that can give you the numbers but, I would thing 18-20 in. dia. and 8-9
ft. deep would be a good exchange for the requested 2.5 ft. x 6.5 ft..
Remember, put some re-bar steel in the cement base to hold the thing
together.
Hope this helps......and please I'm not trying to put anyone down on the
backhoe deal.....It's just that the physics of the way they dig that
won't let them do this paticular job.
73's and good luck with your tower.......

You can rent a small (very small) backhoe or trencher and dig the
proper hole. Alternatively, see if you can catch someone in your area
that is having some septic, sewer, drive, or other excavation done and
offer the guy running the equipment some cash to dig your hole.

A good back hoe operator can dig a straight hole. I've got a 5 x 5 x 8
tower footing in my back yard and it was dug in about an hour by an
experienced operator using a two-foot bucket.

I second the motion. We have a backhoe man here (Ada, Oklahoma)

Hello David;
I know noone wants to hear the old macho story about how
an induvidual completes an unbeleivable feat , but it was worth
the exercise and $$$ saved when I dug the base of my tower...
My tower is 80 ft , guyed, and the base is a 3 ft base section of
Rohn 25 sitting on 24 " of gravel ( big chunks ). My tower has
taken 2 direct strikes ( I think that's all ) and I could not ask for
a better ground as the rest of the shack remains unharmed. I dug
the hole with a post hole digger . Created a hole about 36" in DIA
and about 5 feet deep - so the top of the 36" section is flush with
the surface of the ground . Sitting on the gravel and who knows
how many miles of GA clay , the base is plenty sturdy after backfill.
Speaking of which : after you backfill you need to let the ground set
backup with frequent wattering.
I also had a guywire break once and the tower still hardly budged
I Have a 4 element Quad on a 30 foot boom up there .
Consider what ur putting up there first . and always listen to all the
great advice from those " who have been there - done that "
Gud Luck es 73 de

When I was a kid the electric companies did not have truck-mounted augers and
dug all of
the holes for telephone and power poles by hand. I have watched them do many
and
remember well the tools they used. One long-handled spade was used (intermitt
antly with
a very long crow-bar) to loosen the dirt (usually hard clay with imbedded rock
s).
Another long handled shovel had much of the blade formed to a ninety-degree an
gle so as
to provide a means for lifting the loosened dirt out of the hole. As I recall
the holes
were at least six foot deep or considerably deeper. Two men would easily dig
two or
three holes per shift.
For a single hole I would expect you could make do with some jerry-rigged equi
valents of
the tools I described above. The technique is the thing. Loosen a few inches
of the
packed earth and then lift it out of the hole. And then just keep at it until
you have
reached your goal.

The size of the base needed depends very much on local soil mechanics.
The tower base serves two purposes. It bears the weight of the tower,
and any loading that guys may impose. And it serves to resist the
overturning moment of the tower. Different soils can support different
ground pressures, and different soils have different resistances to
shear. There is no "one size fits all" for this sort of thing, but
in general deeper is better than wider.
Now my tower has almost a full section buried. In other words the
hole is 10 feet deep and has 2 feet of aggregate in the bottom. I
dug it by hand with a posthole digger. Not with an auger, with a
real posthole digger. I started the hole with the regular handles,
and changed to longer handles as the hole got deeper. It took two
leisurely mornings to finish (too hot to dig in the afternoon).
For a 6.5 foot hole, the standard handles will suffice. You just
have to get down and reach into the hole a bit to work them when
you get down near the bottom, the standard handles are about 5.5
feet long. It will help if you replace one of the wooden handles
with 1 inch galvanized water pipe, however, because the extra weight
makes the posthole digger dig better. Even in the hardpan clay here,
I can just drop the digger in the hole to get a bite, close the blades
with the handles, and lift out the dirt. That's a lot easier than
having to muscle the blades into the ground.
If you've never seen a real posthole digger, it is like two tile
spades facing each other, joined with a pivot near the bottom.
You drop it in the hole, spread the handles, which brings the
spades together trapping dirt between them, and lift it out of
the hole. Repeat as necessary until you are done.

If the radio, has a marking that looks like a triangle with a letter "J" insi
de, you are in
for a lot of soldering. The recent Japanese domestic models, distinguished by
the "J" mark are non-modifiable. Well only for expanded RX. The TX range
can not be expanded without a CPU swap, perhaps that's why you got such a good
deal.
If you are lucky and the C-112 is a pre-"J" mark radio, a simple diode cut or
relocation is usually sufficient to expand both tx and rx.
Good luck.
PEter
PS the "J" mark is usually on the outside of the packing carton and
sometimes it is marked on the serial number plate, under the
belt clip.

Well, thanks, Peter. No, there's no "J" mark that I can see on the
unit or the carton; however the carton may have been swapped. Thanks
for mentioning that, tho, since I haven't bought a VHF radio in many
years I wasn't aware of the mark or its significance.

I have a Standard model C966L Transceiver thats been converted to 6m.
I've been told that the unit employs a diode matrix system to set in
frequencies. I'm looking for someone, either private party or commercial
outfit, to set in new frequencies. If you know who I might contact,
please leave me a note here or email me direct.
thanks in advance

I had one of those on uhf once and there was a formula to determine
which diodes in a string of 16 to make or break for each channel.
if nobody posts it call standard and request the programming manual.

I haven't built the 440 rig, but I did build the 2m rig. The modulation
is just summed into the PLL error loop, and if you've been following the
9600 baud threads, you know that's not going to work correctly.
The radio sweeps the VCO to the various receive and transmit offsets
by mixing offset reference crystal oscillators with a sample of the
VCO in the PLL mixer and feeding that to the PLL chip to generate the
loop error voltage to steer the VCO to the proper frequency. You can't
use it duplex or split it.
The 2m radio had a *number* of design flaws (I can't claim the inability
to do 9600 properly is a design flaw since most other synthesized radios
share it, and it doesn't affect ordinary voice use). But for example, it
will transmit with the PLL out of lock, a definite no-no. And receive
sensitivity was much worse than specified unless modified from the way
the instructions tell you to build it. And the PA would go spurious if
you tuned it according to the instructions in the manual (you can tune
it clean with the aid of a spectrum analyzer, though you might have to
settle for about 3 watts out). There were a number of fixes to its
various problems which were posted here when it first came out.
I understand that the design has been revised since the first release.
I can't say if any or all of the problems noted in the first units
have been resolved because I haven't seen one of the new units. But
unless they have been, you don't want this radio except as a learning
experience on how *not* to design a radio. There were also problems
with component quality. The first radios were sent out with reference
crystals which would not net onto frequency. You had to modify the
reference oscillators to get them on frequency. Now some of this
may be attributed to teething problems of a new product, but most
of it is just typical Ramsey.
If you want a transmitter and receiver you can build from kits
which will work for 9600 baud, buy the Hamtronics kits. Their
quality isn't wonderful either, but at least the design is sound,
and they will usually work as advertised after a bit of debugging.

You will really like building this kit. It should not be your first
kit, as the unit is fairly complex.
I love my TT 2 meter. I always get good reports on sound quality, and
the 15 memories are enough for me. I only talk on three anyway.
The major problem in my book is the lack of scanning capability. I
talked to Ten Tech, and asked them for the processor code, so I could
implement scanning. They refused, but promised that they are working
on an upgrade to allow scanning. I am impressed! This feature alone
will make their radios in the very nice catagory. I have other
Japanese radios with so many features that you can't use, unless you
have the manual in your lap. The Ten Tech units are nice, simple, and
well designed.
The audio of my TT 2m rig is equal to or better than any other radio
on the market.
The tuneup process is critical to the proper input sensitivity of the
unit. If you buy one, I would recommend borrowing, or renting a signal
generator, unless you have a very good busy repeater nearby. I got the
sensitivety down to .18uv by using a signal generator to tweak the
coils.
Have fun!

I have found that early models of the Paragron are prone to demonstrate a
high processors noise level when operating the tuning knob. The noise is
due to the amplification of processor pulses by U-10 and can easily be
eliminated by tacking a 1000mfd @ 25V electrolytic across pins 8 and 4 of
U-10. My fix has completely terminated the buzzing encountered while
tuning the rig. In my case the noise was so loud that it blocked out weak
signal cw stations. The serial number of the Paragon I repaired is 0200.
I cannot guarantee that the addition of the electrolytic will eliminate
all problems but sure worked on my rig. I accept no responsibility for
results of anyone attempting this mod.
Ten Tec has been informed of my findings.

Not the right newsgroup? Geez, I hope that's not true. I've seen plenty
of postings for buying/selling test equip here, and I appreciate having
them here.
Go ahead and post it.

I am in the market for a new 2m/440 radio. I am thinking about the
Kenwood TM-V7a and I would like to hear from anyone who owns one.
Please tell me what you like and don't like. I am interested in ease of
operation while driving. Ease of programing when your 50 miles from
home and the last time you added a new freq. to memory was 8 months ago
and you don't remember how you did it. I live 75 miles from the nearest
Ham store and I have not had the chance to go see one. Please E-mail
all comments to sjhawk2@pacbell.com and if I get enough I will summerize
and post them to the group. Thanks you very much. 73 49 0100 1001

Hi, I'm looking for a used HF transceiver with the following attributes:
1) 10-160 meters AM, CW, SSB
2) solid state
3) digital frequency display
4) 100 Watts or less
5) has to be able to run on 12 VDC, but I am *not* interested in anything
designed as a mobile unit
6) ~$400 (If this is unrealistic- and I have a hunch it might be- please let
me know)
I'm still in the information-gathering mode, so I'll appreciate any
recommendations. I intend this to be my first rig if I get my license.
Thanks in advance, Tim

I want to buy a small portable HF rig, so I'm considering the TS-50 ot the
IC-706. Other than the VHF feature of the IC-706 which of the 2 is better
(Rx sensitivity, selectivity, audio, Tx audio, Rx power consumption).

The answers given to the questions below refer to the newer BC760's (with
the BNC antenna connector). Older versions (with the "Motorola" style
antenna connector worked differently). The type currently sold are of the
newer/better version.

Yes you can either skip the PL entry and move on to the next channel, or
enter "0".

If the channel is active without the correct PL, the radio will resume
scanning. The delay is barely noticable.

5 watts adjustable to 10. High power is 25 watts. Frequency coverage
is 144.0 to 148.0, and 440.0 to 450.0. This unit is stock, no
conversions.

Possibly an XF-30B AM Filter CF 3180khz if so...$50
I know this fits the 101 but since I don't do Yaesu
don't know about the 101EE

I do believe I have one here! It came out of an Ft-101e I rescued from
ten and a half meters. Do you know the model/part number? I'll check
to see if it matches.

Hi..
A friend of mine (he isn't on the Internet) is
thinking abouting buying an 87A and is looking for
critical comments from owners, current or former.
He understands the unit did have some problems with
PIN diodes prior to 1991. If you would like to add your
two cents worth (make that a nickle with inflation) please
do so. I will forward your comments to him.
Tnx es Happy Holidays...

If you have bucks burning holes in your pockets, buy the overly
complex/automated 87A. You obviously can afford to throw money out. Oh
yes, you can probably also afford to send it back to ETO for repairs!
If you want value for your money and the 3CX800A7 (excellent) tubes, and
you must have the name, go for the 89.
If you want to be smart, find either a used TITAN (TenTec) amp or even a
Commander amp. They all use the EIMAC tubes and have excellent power
supplies.
Good luck!

Hi Jack:
Tell your friend that a former Alpha 87 owner would advise him to be
cautious. For an amp that cost that much, it does have some
characteristics that bothered me. Don't worry about the PIN diodes. I
haven't heard of one report of a failure in a 87. In an 86 yes but not
an 87. That is one of the things that I liked about the unit,
absolutely silent TR switching. My biggest concern is that Alpha is
playing the technology of the automatic tuning very close to the vest.
If it breaks you'd better be prepared to pay big bucks and send it to
Alpha for repair. The processor that drives the tuning mechanism has no
significant domumentation. An average ham or even most hams do not have
a way to repair it themselves. If you would like further information, I
can list all of the things that I didn't like about the unit. Just send
me an EMAIL if you would like anything further or have any specific
questions.
The recommendations I would make would be a Commander 2500, a QRO 2500,
an Ameritron AL-1500, a Titan. The Commander and the QRO are top notch!

I think a Motorola Spectra or Syntor just might do the trick. It has
three features: it receives, it transmits, and it scans, and it does
each of these very well, unlike most of the amateur stuff sold today.
What more do you need?

Allen,
do a search for "CB Radio". Look at Left Coast CB abd it's links.
You will find an abundance of info on PLL unlocks. If you know the PLL, I
may be able to provide some info for you. Getting the fo's is the easy
part....Broadbanding the receive and transmit capabilities requires some
time, effort and substitutions. There are "tricks" such as adding more
broad varactor diodes in the vco and ssb circuits, paralleling unused
sections of IF transformers, changing the value of the synth crystals, etc.
Some PLL's and circuit board combos are better than others, and the Cobra
usually uses a Uniden board with either a 8719 or 8734 PLL IC.
The best authority is Lou Franklin of CB Cint International. You can
contact him at info@cbcintl.com .
He has written variouis volumes of info covering whatever level of info you
care to get into. He is also a ham and has been hombrewing and studying
PLL circuits since their introduction to the retail market.
You will also have to consider adding FM (relatively easy) and
repeater offsets. It is a good project, and even if it doesn't perform as
well as a "store bought" rig, the experience that you will get has a value
that no price can be set on.
Good Luck

I am playing with IF DSP for SW and ham RX and am curious as to
what features and price range would make such a unit appealing
if I were to market it.

Which do you think is better, the Timewave 599 zx or the NIR-12?

Hi Terry,
I've used both and think both have advantages and disadvantages. The
NIR-12 has overall better noise reduction for SSB and can be set so
agressively so that it reduces intelligibility (you can back off to your
taste). The 599zx has much nicer controls and overall seems more flexible
(especially nice is the AGC circuit). But it doesn't seem to be able to
reduce static crashes as well.
Both do very well at reducing heterodynes, and seem to have comparable
performance on SSB voice filtering - CW selectivity might gain the nod to
the 599zx.
I think my casual opinion is that if one could combine the features
(controls and AGC) of the 599zx with the (I think) superior noise reduction
performance of the NIR-12 you would have a very good unit. To do this,
I've run them in series (!!!), but the processing begins to show if you do
much very aggressively in the units.
Bottom line is that I still use my 940 notch and internal filters and may
wait for the next NIR with an AGC before plunking my $$ down.
Best regards,
David (K5KH)

But then, he isn't flying a jet plane with four hundred passengers

They aren't "allowed" to post. Who is going to stop them? This is the
Internet, after all, which doesn't have any content restrictions. ( Yet! )
>SELECTED ENFORCEMENT?
As noted above, "enforcement" is a meaningless term in this medium.
Anarchy reigns here, generally to good effect.
If, however, you're complaining about the ever-present flames
surrounding your postings, it may surprise you to find that if you
learned to use your CAPS-LOCK key, stopped threatening to sue everyone
who disagrees with you ( Which, BTW, is illegal in many states in the US,
and opens *YOU* up to litigation ), and think about the reasoning
behind USENET conventions ( Like, for example, posting your
pager ads in appropriate groups ), you might find us a wee bit more
appreciative. Of course, that means that you'll have to forego
trying to change your ReplyTo address in your mail client when posting
"supporting" comments. That little trick took about a third of a second
to figure out.
On USENET, you generally reap what you sow.

I don't think you understand how a newsgroup works.
(1) This is an open forum. No one approves or checks the messages before
they get posted.
(2) This newsgroup is accessible from anywhere on the Internet. There is
no "headquarters" or central office where control could be imposed.

I recently bought an old Heathkit Cheyenne (model MT-1) 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 either a 6 pin Jones plug or be connectable
to a 6 pin Jones plug (I can get the plug locally if I have to) for
output, and probably should have pos/neg alligator clips (or be
connectable to them) so it can be hooked directly to a car battery. Mail

Have you tried Tektronix? I just bought the service/user manuals for the
Tek 491 SpecAn on fiche for $12. Manuals Plus in Utah wanted $125 for the
service manual alone (true, on paper - but it is still cheaper to print
out the pages I need at the local library...)

Hello all,
I'm looking for a Grid Dip Meter, preferably solid-state, but will consider
others. The last one that Heath made before they went away looked like a nice
unit.
Cash or trade is OK with me.
Also looking for a bargain on a wide range RF gen like an HP8640B, or Boonton
102, 103, etc..
Let me know what you have and what you want.
Will also trade CNC control software. Check out the web page.
Thanks!
Richard

If you want a serious grid dipper look for a Measurements Model 80. I
have seen them at fests for $75 or so. These are so sensitive that you
can hold the head at the current loop of a half wave and get a huge dip-
where others fail to show anything.

Gene, you might try Tucker Electronics in Dallas. They are out of the
ham business now, but previously they were an ICOM repair station and
had a pretty complete set of manuals. Also try AVVID in Oak Cliff. Cliff
Holland bought out Tucker's repair business and may also have manuals.

Hi! I just bought an old SB-102 chassis with all of the parts
removed for $15 to use as a homebrew project chassis. I plan
to repaint, and cover the faceplace with a new thin sheet of
aluminum for my new rig to live in. (2 stage, 30 watt all band
CW rig with built-in VFO)
Well, I need another and possibly 2 more - one for a matching
receiver I'm planning, and another for a small amplifier.
So I am looking for ANY SB-xxx chassis, completely stripped of parts
or not - don't care what the model was - even could maybe use smaller
boxes, like old SB-610 scopes or speaker boxes, or whatever. Again,
I am after the boxes and the innards are not important (although if
any parts still remain, they would be put away for future homebrew)
Cheap is kind of important, though. That's why I am specifying no parts
and looks are unimportant, as long as no dents or cutouts that would
be tough to paint over. $10 to $20 is the range I was thinking.

Hi! I just bought an old SB-102 chassis with all of the parts
removed for $15 to use as a homebrew project chassis. I plan
to repaint, and cover the faceplace with a new thin sheet of
aluminum for my new rig to live in. (2 stage, 30 watt all band
CW rig with built-in VFO)
Well, I need another and possibly 2 more - one for a matching
receiver I'm planning, and another for a small amplifier.
So I am looking for ANY SB-xxx chassis, completely stripped of parts
or not - don't care what the model was - even could maybe use smaller
boxes, like old SB-610 scopes or speaker boxes, or whatever. Again,
I am after the boxes and the innards are not important (although if
any parts still remain, they would be put away for future homebrew)
Cheap is kind of important, though. That's why I am specifying no parts
and looks are unimportant, as long as no dents or cutouts that would
be tough to paint over. $10 to $20 is the range I was thinking.

Lokking for FT301S or SD in good condition or would consider non-working

Could make very good deal on trade for Drake C Line equipment or

Hi Raymond,
Check out The Raymond Sarrio CO. at:
http://www.sarrio.com/sarrio/rsfinal1.html
I also acquired an NC183-D recently and ordered a manual from the
gentleman at this site. I received a good bound copy with large
fold-out schematic and am happy with it. If memory serves me, I
paid $19 including shipping.
Good Luck with the radio!

HR2600? I am not a packet operator any more ('used to run a BBS...), but
I can only find a mod for packet QSK improvement. Are there any RIT-XIT,

Hi:
Does anyone happen to have the schematic for this radio. All I
have is the manual and it only list the block diagrams. What I need is
the pinouts for the Accessory plug. I would like to use this radio for
packet and from the manual the mic plug alone will not work as it does
in more recent radio. Any help on the pinouts for this radio would be
gratly appreciated. Tnx

Also, I would like to know if anyone knows whether the FT-50R can be
modded to do full-duplex crossband. How's about 220 MHz tx?

The FT-50R can not do full duplex because there is only a single
transceiver circuit in the radio. For FD you need to have two transceiver
circuits. The best that the FT-50 can do is half-duplex cross band by
setting separate xmit and rcv frequencies.

I have tried both the minature SMA antenna from Comet,

It appear the Comet performs very well for wide band listening
than the Diamod Bullet.

I saw the add for the commercial quality Yaesu FT-600. The price seems
right at about $820. The dealers say they have not sold many. Why. I
was thinking of installing it mobile and also using it base. Anyone know
the price of the "VERTEX" commercial version. Am I making a mistake?
The specs look like it is a Yaesu FT-840 In a rugged case. Is this TRUE.
All comments appreciated.

I recently purchased a used FT-726R all mode transceiver with 2 and 6 meter
modules, and an HF module.
What is the power output of this radio?
Where can I buy a manual?

Hello,
My 9 month old FT-8500 dual band mobile xcvr has worked well.
Lately, it seems to have some problem with its memory:
Wehn powered off for a few hours, it will come back in what appears to be
factory default mode. By pressing D/MR and going to the memory banks, the
programmed memories can be restored, but it is annoying that the volume
and squelch settings and the VFO must all be re-set. This is not the way
it used to work, it would power up in exactly the setup last being used,
with all displays and settings unchanged.
I called Yaesu and talked to a lady in customer service who listened, and
gave me the old "Twilight Zone" (you are the only person in the universe
with any such problem, and it cannot be explained by existing science) in
a more roundabout way. She wanted me to send it in a wait a few weeks -
it's under warranty.
She said it could not be a battery, since if the backup battery were out,
the stored memories would also be gone.
I can't see any battery in the schematic, anyhow; but it seems to me that
if the circuit is designed such that the programmed memories are stored
in a different type of digital memory than the VFO and op settings, it
could happen the way I see it. I'd rather spend an hour and a few bucks to
fix it here, unless it is risky or very difficult.
Anyone else seen this?
Is there a battery in there I can easily replace?
regards,
Jerry Cupples KC5SXA

Jerry,
I thought I was the only one in the world with this problem! I have a
FT-8500 and use it exclusively as a base unit with the Yaesu FP-800
power supply. I've had the unit about 1-1/2 years now. About three
months ago my unit started exibiting the identical peoblem. The reason
that the memory channels and other settings stay in memory is that they
are stored in an EPROM which requires no power of any type to maintain
settings. There MUST be another battery or something that provides a bit
of voltage to maintain current settings. I've studied the schematic
carefully and had the radio apart, and I'll be darned if I can find
ANYTHING at all resembling a battery also. Lately I've been thinking I
should send the unit in for repair. Someone out there must have hear of
a solution to this!

Does anyone with one of these dualband HT's know if (and how much) the power
drain is with the battery saver mode enabled and the radio physically switched
off?
My batteries just don't seem to hold their charge and I'm trying to track
down all the possibilities.

I recall messages a while back that owners of the FT50R could not get the
radio to receive a page and then record the incoming audio into the DVR. I
am having no problems doing just that with my new one (serial #6K111542) -
they are including an errata sheet on the VMPS (Voice Mail Paging System)
that updates the instructions that are on pg 47/48. Perhaps they have also
made a firmware change that addressed this as well.

There is a review of this rig in one of the QST books, that includes all the

Liked it very much, thought it better than the TS 430 I have now.
Used it mobile a lot.

I ran a 757GX with a G5RV for about a year. You WILL need a tuner with
that antenna, but it works fairly well. The 757 worked great - the
biggest complaints I have are having to switch modes manually when
switching bands, and there is no way to tune across a band quickly.
Other than that, it is a great radio.
I think the slim power supply is not a heavy duty unit, so will not do
well for 100% duty cycle modes (FM, AM, RTTY) but should work just fine
for SSB or CW and will do fine in the other modes with reduced power.
The computer interface makes life easier - I built one and wrote a
program for my PC to control the rig and it helped a lot.
Good luck and enjoy -
Ernie

Hello to the group. I have a Yaesu 757GX and the slimline power
supply, and find that both pieces of equipment work very well. The FT
757 has a good reciever and transmitter, but the CW selectivity is a
little wide. I use the power supply to power the 757, my PK232, a
TenTec 6m to 20m transverter, a HW-7, and for a while a TR7400A 2
meter transciever, and as long as I didn't transmit on the 757 and the
7400 at the same time, (I was on packet and 20 meters at the same
time) it holds up well. The manual cautions against extended use of
the switching supply, such as during RTTY and FM, but have had no
trouble with either mod even during long RTTY ragchews. If you try to
use the rear patch input for digital modes , you may run into RF
feedback into the tnc, but this may be strictly a problem with the
PK232. Overall, a heck of a good radio, and a very clean power supply.
Hope that you find this helpful. 73 de Chris WL7PV

I'm using one as a remote base. Works great. Only problem is the
manual-only sideband switching. I'd recommend the GX2 with programmable
sideband if you intend any computer controlled use.

Has anybody here installed a ham radio transmitter in a 1995 Oldsmobile
Ciera or Buick Century? Does anybody know if GM publishes any special
specifications on how to do so?
Ordinarily I'd power the radio directly from the battery, which seems
easy to do except for one thing -- there are no holes in the firewall
that I can see. Oldsmobile used connectors on the firewall rather
than running wires through holes with grommets.
Is there a hole I didn't see? Or do I need to make one? Or is it
acceptable to power the transmitter from a 12-volt line in the dash,
where the fuse panel is? (If so, which one?)
This would be for a 50-watt 2-meter (144-MHz) transceiver.

s
Christian,
I own two of the AEA DSP2232s, and have done some internal tinkering
with both, so I may be of assistance.
First, what were the circumstances of the failure, were you running
something, or did you just wake up and fine the 2232 "locked up"?
Second, I would assume that you have attempted a "hard" reset of the
units? This is done by holding in on the rear panel mounted reset switch
when powering up, continue to hold until the front display panel shows
Reset.
Third, what software are you using to communicate with the 2232? A
terminal program or AEA PKRATT. There have been several times that one
of my 2232s locked up and I could only get it going again after I
started the unit using a terminal program like Procom Plus, PKRATT just
did not work sometimes.
Also be certain to have all radio cables disconnected when doing the
reset. Be certain the unit is not getting any audio, this always works
for me.
I am not 100% certain that AEA is totally closed yet. Last time I
checked thier fax was still in operation. Perhaps a quick fax with a
note may bring some additional suggestions. If you need the fax number,
or don't have access to a fax let me know, I would be happy to glad AEA
on your behalf.
Hope these suggestions help, let me know how you make out.

Hi ...
I had the unique experience of having a friend who
owned both radios. While out camping one weekend, I was
able to set them side-by-side and compare them.
90% or more of my operation is on HF Pactor. We
motorhome camp ... we camp a lot. I use HF to get into the
home BBS and keep up with things.
There was no question that the Icom was the better
of the two radios. On top of that, with the 2 meters, there is
potential of all kinds of satellite fun. But, you pay a BIG buck
for the extra features. So much so that I'm not sure a DX70<>IC-706
comparison isn't an apple-orange comparison.
For messing around, the DX70 would be great. For
more serious applications, get the 706. I did.

Worthless?? I just bought the 10 meter version. It is sitting on my
desk right now doing nothing except receiving some people with
sporatic-E, but give it a few years. This worthless toy will be
working the world...even with 2 watts, which is more than enough.
Now would be the time to buy these kinds of toys, especially for 10
meters! The band is dead, so the equipment is cheap. Buy them now, or
else you will pay even more when 10 opens back up!
Merry Christmas, everybody!

Dear friends,
My AEA DSP 2232 doesn┤t work right.
I┤m getting on the little screen of the TNC the following,
Packet
Packet
and both lights DCD and CMD are on.
On the screen of the computer appears the following message when I
communicate with the TNC,
cmd: 3d: DSP software load failed and sometimes
cmd: 2e: DSP software load failed.
I dont know if the Microchip Motorola 56001zl20 is doing wrong or some
statics on it or other.
I can communicate and change modems, etc without any problem.
How can I solve this problem..
AEA they say is in process of closing, so they can not help me.
Please some one do it. If you have service maunal check the error
messages and answer me.
Awaiting your kind comments, have my best.

I would appreciate any comments - pro or con - on the 8000R. I am thinking
of this for FM chit-chat, packet, scanner, working MIR/satellites. I
intend to use it as a base station.

Hi all,
My nephew has been trying to learn enough electronics and code for over
a year to get his license - without any luck. Seems he's one of the few
people who has trouble with the theory, rather than the code. He just
can't seem to grasp it the principals of electronics...
Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the video training
courses for an amateur radio license offered by the ARRL?
I would like to purchase the courses from someone who has used them and
wants to re-coup some of their investment. I would like to get him
(both) the tech and general license courses - in good condition of
course.
Any help/information is appreciated. E-mail please.
John

I does, indeed. I believe the radio sold new for $700 over a decade ago,
so I am surprised it has held its value so well. Thanks very much for
everyone's help.

Gary,
Its about time you said something about the am mode. I guess today
the new hams don't read the manual or push the button to see if the
radio funtion's. Lots of AM activity out their the old timers use it to
get away from the shack on the belt people. Oh yes Gary you may want to
coment about this I was told that if you are in SSB mode go to menu Q4
and change carrier freq. up or down it will change your transmitt audio.
The best setting is -190, I check with another Ham about this and we
tested it and it worked. The setting would change with the persons
voice.

Dick:
It is getting to be an older rig but I think it should be worth about
$400. You should be able to add an additional $100 to $150 if it has the
internal AC power supply (PS-35 it think). Hope this helps.

Could I run two power supplies in parallel to get a higher current
capacity? I have an Astron RS-20M and I was wondering if I could run a
second Astron RS-20M in parallel to get a current capacity of more than
20 amps.

Thinking about purchasing a used TS-790 dualband allmode base.
Don't care about any of the additional band modules, like the dual

compare and "which one is better" ?

Do what everyone else who gets an amateur radio license today does:
Buy a Gorden West study guide and just memorize the questions and
answers.
Its quick. Its easy. And most of all, nobody knows the difference.
Why waste time and effort learning all that useless theory and
electronics when all you want to do is yack on the radio. Memorize
a question pool near you today.

I am looking for a couple lengths of B&W 3012 coil stock for
a receiver project. I know I could wind my own, but there are
4 interlinked coils in the project and I doubt I'd have a very
easy go of trying to get them all on the money.
It's 3/4" in diameter, 32 tpi. I know there must be some old stock
lying around out there somewhere.
If you have any you can part with for a price fair to all, email me
at:
Dave gekko95@ix.netcom.com
Many thanks in advance to any who reply.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good control program for ICOM
rigs (specifically the '706 and '736)? I'm mainly looking for a DOS
program, but Windows 3.1 or 95 would be OK too, in a pinch. Logging
capabilities are a plus, but not a requirement. Any suggestions?

I had to purchase a new ant out of neccessity. I came home and my dog
pulled the radio off of the windoe sill and ate it. He only damaged the
outside and the ant. The antenna seemed to be in good shape but it
looked pretty bad so I tried to find a good replacement. I tested the
Comet "shorty" (about 2") I think it was the SMA 503. It didn't access
my local repeater as well as the stock did so it went back to the
dealer. I found an antenna that affords the best of both worlds, it has
a short base (1 1/2") and a wire that extends about 6 inches further.
This wire is very flexible and it makes for a very good looking radio.
The model is the Diamond SRH519. I use a 1/8" piece of 5/16" rubber
tubing puschase fron the auto parts store as a spacer and to keep with
the MILSPEC rating of the radio. Good Luck!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I have posted
a number of articles recently looking for homebrew parts, and the
responses have been a downright pleasure to read. It's nice to know that
the spirit of Ham Radio, contrary to the opinions so often found
in some of these groups, is VERY much alive and well.
After 12 years out of the hobby, I am DELIGHTED to be back in, and I have
alot of you folks to thank.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
A VERY merry 73's

Very neat little radio John, BUT be aware that it only runs 1/4 watt.
I just recently sold one because of this problem. If you near
repeaters then it will work just fine. I live about 20 miles out of
the nearest large city. The 1/4 watt was very noisy into the local
machines. Also power drops to 100 miliwatts as the batteries get
weaker.
Also lack of DTMF dialing can be a real problem. If you access
autopatches, you will have to either get a DTMF tone generator or use a
different radio.
Audio is not very loud. About the same as using a speaker/mic.
The physical size is great! Decent display. Very sensitive on all
frequencies, including 800 Mhz. Easy to program. Uses an SMA
connector for the antenna, so an adapter is needed to hook up outside
antenna's.
If you can tolerate the low power and no dtmf dialing, its actually a
neat little radio.

I enjoy Gary's posts. He writes in an intelligent and courtious
manner. His explanations have helped me tremendously. You ought to
take this crap back to that other "newsgroup". You know the one where
the no-codes and the know-codes spend all their time sticking verbal

I am attempting to program a Motorola Spectra 450-480 model with Ham
frequencies. It will accept freqs down to 445MHz, but nothing lower. Is there
a way to "trick" the software into letting freqs down to 440MHz be
programmed. With My GE S-825 control head, all I do is press ctrl-e instead
of enter to program an invalid (Ham) freq. Will the spectra do something like
this, too? I am using RSS version R05.03.00 5-APR-92
Please e-mail response. 73 de KD6KML (Josh)

Les,
By now, you have received quite a few suggestions, and now for my 2
cents worth.....
First, what is connected to the serial port? If you create a situation
in which the cpu and monitor are connected to ac via one outlet pair, and
the cpu is interfaced to an electronic device that is connected to ac at
another place in the location, the the potential for "ground loop" noise to
occur. The easiest way to
lower the odds for this happening is to avoid using pin one (1) -frame
ground of the 25 pin serial
connector ; the nine pin has only the signal ground, which is sufficient.
What may be happening is a difference in ground potential (small resistance
change between the ground wire resistance of the two outlets) allows the
signal to lag in phase, collide, and generally have a ball in the
background. I am not sure if this is the exact reference point, but when I
was faced with this in a large UNIX network that I had to support PCs for I
was told a difference in ground potential of 1 ohm in the first fifteen
feet of the ground wire on it's way back to the service entrance could not
only wreck date, but could destroy equipment.
When I was running my Oscar setup, I made a ground bar out of 1/2" hard
copper pipe which I ran the full length of the wall behind the equipment.
Then I used good high-density coax braid cut to length (and then a bit)
which I folded over the ends, tinned and drilled a hole the size of the
self-tapping screws that I used to attach to the pipe on one end, and sized
to fit the appropriate case screw that it was attached to the equipment
with. At the time, my wiring grounding was questionable (older aluminum
wiring), so I ran a large single conductor copper wire to the same rod my
tower was grounded to outside. (which may have been more conveinent than it
seems, as my tower was right outside the operating area.) My Oscar setup
included a computer and monitor, with a tracker/tuner board that ran data
to both the transceiver and rotor controller, which met the outside world
via coax and control cable. (And you never thought a computer had an
antennna).....To make a long, rambling story short, until I got all of this
together, S-9 and below were
"weak signals". I also use the practice mentioned in one of the previous
replies of ferrites on both ennds of the monitor cables, and I went a
little further than that to include ferrites on both ends of each power
cord that was connected to anything going to the computer, circular
ferrites that each rs-232 cable passed through via a one-loop wrap, same
treatment to ribbon cables tying comm ports from the cup backplane or case
to the motherboard or serial card. Also, don't overlook the keyboard;
another candidate for ferrites. Radio shack carries a fair assortment of
these guys, and I know Tandy's stock gains surged the day that I went
shopping for mine....
I hope some of this will help to lessen your problem; keep us informed...
73,

Hi Les,
In article <59d1db$eab@news3.texas.net>, From Lester Earnshaw
<lester@sedona.net>, the following was written:

I hope someone answers, because I have similar problems.
My computer, with only the ac power line attached, generates more than
60 db of noise. I've made sure the case of the computer was fully
grounded and shielded (I even painted inside the plastic front cover
with conductive paint), I've pulled all the adapter boards while looking
for the noise.
I've tied the computer and ham equipment (and monitor, printer, etc) to
a common ground point, which, in turn, is connected to a set of 3, 8
foot ground rods.
All wires coming out of the computer box have ferrite suppressors on
them (even though disconnecting the wires at the box doesn't reduce the
interference).
I have the JPS ANC-4 noise reducer (which does a fantastic job -- just
not enough of a job for the level of noise I have).
I really must be missing something in the way of bypassing the computer
generated RF or shielding the RF -- but I sure can't figure out what.

I have a Santec LS-202A VHF SSB/FM HT that I am trying to find a schematic
for.
A service manual would be nice also, I would even settle for a owner's
manual.
The unit receives properly, transmits properly, tx audio is good, rx signal
is good,
rx audio is gone....... You can see the receive signal on the s-meter, and
if you listen
very closely you can hear clear audio from the speaker, only very faint. I
have bypassed
the speaker and replaced the audio IC, and now want to get some service
info to go
further.
Any help appreciated, A current address for Santec or it's remains would
also be a big
help. A copy of a manual and schematic would be a blessing.
Seasons greetings

I have a military HF receiver that covers 1.5 to 18.5 MC in 6 bands, with
an original
power input of 28.5 Volts DC. It was modified by adding a power
transformer, bridge
circuits and filters for AC operation, and the power transformer decided
give up. It
looked a bit small to do the job, and seems like it did a long, slow core
meltdown
before dying. I would like to get the proper voltage and current
requirements so I
can try this my way. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Look on the ARRL FTP site. There is a new control program for the 706.
Nothing too fancy but it works.

Hi Everyone,
A neighbor of mine has a ham or cb radio, and his transmissions come
out over my stereo, telephone, clock radio - anything with a speaker.
The FCC won't do anything about it.
I know there are filters you can put on your telephone to block some
of the interference. Is there anything like that for stereo
equipment?
Thanks,
JOn

If you can't find a "generic" substitute, you can call Pacific Coast

this is toll-free in Canada ... if not, e-mail me and I will get the

Another option would be the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (such as
the ones sold by Maha - their MH-FNB41 is the same exact size as the
Yaesu version, but is 900 mAh versus 600 mAh, lighter, and does not
develop a "memory" like NiCads do.

Try Log-Eqf.... Logging, DXCC etc...Forget if the rig stuff
is in the shareware, but <$40. Ads in QST (EQF Software). Fills freq and
mode into log from Icom. Folows Icom tunning Memory pages... Freq and
mode to radio from keyboard. Packet cluster window. contest mode...auto
time/date logging.
Try the shareware to see if you like the log screen. ARRL Web and
others.
..Current V 8.07 is DOS and I run it in Win 3.1 as a "pif" window on the
shack-486/33 with 8 megs...Can do other stuff in Windows while
Log is in background. The memory pages are nice as the '735 only has
12 memories. They have a full line for freq, mode and a line of info.
Like the info space for what's in the memory - BBC etc.
Arrow down to a memory line, hit enter and the radio takes off.
GL, Bob

Hello everyone,
My name is Vic and I am looking for some information. Being new to HF I
know very little ... about the whole scene. Looking at rigs however, I have
decided I'd like to buy either an Alinco DX-70T or an Icom IC-706.
Does anyone have an actual comparison of the two rigs side by side so as
to comment on performance? How about features on HF & 6M between the two? I
know the DX-70T comes with CW & SSB narrow filters built in and they are an
option on the Icom, but how about actual performance between the two?
I have seen MANY mods for the IC-706 but NONE for the DX-70T. Are there
mods available for the DX-70T?
I have heard the 706 sounds lousy on HF with a stock mic. A friend said
he talked with a DX-70 owner and it sounded like the "big rigs"! Is this
true?
How about this ... ya know the typical finger indent on the tuning knob?
Well, the 706 has it and I've tried it. Very comfortable, works well. The
DX-70 doesn't have it! How is it to tune??? I don't have anywhere to local
to try one. In fact in SE Florida here, don't know of a single person with
a DX-70. Don't see them for sale either!
Which is the better HF rig? Awaiting your comments (and tips to mods)!

I would seriously consider the ICOM IC-706. I don't care for the Alinco
products. A friend who repairs sand-state microprocessor-based radios for
a living won't touch Alinco radios.
Pay a bit more - but get what you pay for!

I have had a try at both, and I like the 706 better. It is more
expensive and harder to operate, but it does more, too. Although the
DX70 comes with a cw filter, it is not very effective. The optional
filters in the ICOM are pretty good (I have the 250 Hz in mine) although
the rig does suffer some from "blowby", that is, signals leaking around
the narrow filter. Neither rig has a very good noise blanker. The
Alinco, I think, has the edge in strong signal handling capability,
although I am judging this by ear as opposed to having the rigs on the
bench. Alinco's break-in is also better. I like the fact that the ICOM
has two meters, even if it is only ten watts. I already had a Mirage
B3016 in the car, so now can run about 100 watts output on 160 thru 2.
The mods were unimportant to me as I don't see much value in opening up
the transmitter for dc to light.

Why sell it? The 10M band is doing fine; it just takes a little
patience. If you are interested, I'll send you mod information to
improve your modulation, tie the XIT to your RIT control, and raise the
power output to 40W. I've got one, and it's a great little rig I've been
DXing on for a while.

I have one and I love it. As another ham said when I described it as
cute, " it's not cute,... it's precious "
It has a very sensitive receiver, and is a fine pocket scanner. I added
the Comet SMA501 mini dual band antenna, and use it with a dual band
mobile rig in the crossband repeat mode, and can get into any system I
need to.
It would be nice if it had a DTMF pad to control my IC-2410H remotely,
but then it wouldn't be so small and 'precious'.
I really like it!

Very nice radio and I am very satisfied with it for usability as far as chit
chat goes.
, packet,
I will let you know as Santa will be bringing a multi-mode TNC. It does do
9600 and it was rated hihgly in the QST dual band test and review article.
scanner,
As a scanner, it leaves alot to be desired. I have a 2006/456 with ScanStar so
I am a bit spoiled in that respect. Only 50 channels per band and no real way
to isolate one band from the other in order to sequencialy scan bands\freqs.
Imaging is very apparent throuhgout the VHF\UHF bands (except the HAM bands).
Cellular capability is not needed as calls are heard with ease in the 1100mhz
area due to imaging.
working MIR/satellites.
There too I will let you know as I get all of the needed equipment at hand.
>I intend to use it as a base station.
I use mine as a BASE station and a mobile rig. It is smaller than the pictures
lead you to expect. Nice radio and easy to operate. My second favorite HAM
purchase next to the Yaesu FT50R.
Happy Holidays and enjoy.

for John about ARRL videotapes: the arrl technician videotapes are
rapid-fire and leave a glazed look on the faces of the uninitiated.
Instead, get the question pool and go through and highlight the correct
answers ONLY (never even look at the wrong answers!!!). Then review the
questions and the RIGHT answers only. Remember - never look at a wrong
answer. Then during the "exam," the right answer will jump out at you.
Personal opinion: If the FCC and ARRL wanted you to learn theory, they
shouldn't have given in to the freedom of information requests. This
situation was created by cheaters to obtain info they shouldn't have
right to. Imagine state run universities having to publish question
pools of their exams? Maybe a med school?
for Robert Cone about black box for wefax: try the JBI Interface
featured in the Dec 73 mag. It doesn't cost $129 like most manufacturers
products, and is adaptable for many radios that are computer
controllable. Number is 1-800-524-8658.
for Bob about Icom control software: LOGEQF works well, is DOS based,
and a shareware copy is included with the JBI Interface above.

I am looking for a couple lengths of B&W 3012 coil stock for
a receiver project. I know I could wind my own, but there are
4 interlinked coils in the project and I doubt I'd have a very
easy go of trying to get them all on the money.
It's 3/4" in diameter, 32 tpi. I know there must be some old stock
lying around out there somewhere.
If you have any you can part with for a price fair to all, email me

Does anyone have the web address for a location where I can put in my
lat/lon coordinates and obtain the 6 digit grid square for my location?
You can obtain your lat/lon from the QRZ database located at:

Ah, I get to disagree with you, here, Michael.
Can't speak to the HF rig, but I've had pretty good luck with the two VHF/UHF
Alinco rigs I've owned over the last 3-4 years. The DR-1200 I have has been i
n
continuous tcpip packet operation, 24-hours a day for almost 4 years, through
thunderstorms and such, with only dial backlight failure (a common problem wit
h
the 1200. I will admit), which I just fixed with $1.49 worth of bulbs (2) from
Radio Shack. And their DR-570T dual-bander has been in my 1988 Acura Integra
for almost as long, with nary a problem. I had to open both rigs to either
expand reception , or fix the dial backlights (or both), and they are neither
better nor worse than anything else I've seen. Their tech support seems
reponsive enough, and from what I've read up on the newsgroups, their HF mobil
e
has gotten rave reviews (except for its noise blanker--oh well). It is a LOT
less expensive than the ICOM, I might add, and there are deals out there on th
e
early version that are pretty tasty.
I'd like to hear specifics from your Alinco-unfriendly service buddy before I'
d
shun their equipment.
Do you ever get on 75 meters?
Happy Holidays.

Hi Bruce, I can't help you with who to contact but if you need schematics and
or part lists, I have them
for the PS-12 and PS-35. and there is very little difference between the PS-2
5 and PS-35.
If you are having the same problem with your PS-25 as I, RF getting back into
the supply and triggering the
over-voltage-proctection circut, Please keep me posted on any solutions.. I'l
l do the same.

I contracted with a "tree planter" (look in the Yellow Pages) who
advertised digging holes with a Bobcat. I asked the largest auger they
had, which was 36" !!!! $100 bucks later I had a perfect hole 36"
across and 6-1/2 feet deep. My tower is a TriEx crankup to 51', and has
been up 4 years now.
73, and good luck.

Help. The Kenwood repair center says that I need to buy a whole new
microphone because they do not sell the parts for it. As crazy as it
sounds, the stock mic is considered an accessory, for which are sold in
whole units only. I have an open wire in the 8-conductor mic cord.
My rig is the TM-241A 45 watt 2 meter mobile with the touch tone mic.
The total cost for a bad wire in this mic is $132.00 by the time I would
be finished going thru an authorized Kenwood repair center. There has
to be a better way. I would hate to see what the cost would be if
something really needed rapair...
What ever happened to the good Kenwood repair name and services? I was
unable to get a mic cord... Shame on them.
Any thoughts for a close replacement from the group here???
Thanks, and 73,
Al, NW2M

I might have still have that chip if it's the 40 pin one,I had one and

I've had a '706 since November 95, and I love it. Yes, the noise
blanker leaves a lot to be desired, but I've not seen any other
blankers in rigs this price range that were any better.. I run my
706 mobile in a Geo Metro, without a lot of room for anything bigger.
I am on all bands but 75 with a Comet CA-HV anteena.

There is 1 "mod"... Hold down the "F" button (above PTT) when depressing
the light switch... Light will stay on until the unit is powered off, or
the Light button is pressed again.

Check out the Diamond SRH519 and be pleasantly surprised. It's about he
same length as the stock antenna, but thin and flexible, like a cat's
whisker, so it doesn't stick you when you clip the radio to your belt.
I did not have the equip. to test it myself, but I am told by someone
who did that it works better than stock. Good Luck!

I've heard the 706 on the air with the stock mic.
It sounded OK to me.

someone at AEA, they said PakRatt does work in Windows 95. Offered no
ideas. Software company will not respond. Anyone else having
difficulties? Anyone really sharp on this stuff that can give me some
ideas before I throw the stuff out the window. :-)). Is there a digital
news group I may go too? Thanks, Dan

ATV is a lot of fun. I believe there is an ATV Repeater in Phil. PA. I
am now living in South Central NY. I moved from Baltimore MD three years
ago. I am working to get an ATV Repeater here in Elmira, NY.
The repeater in Baltimore is operated by the Baltimore Radio and
Television Socitity BRATS.
Every Thursday night they have a net. Voice is on a 2 meter repeater and
Video is on the ATV repeater. While I was living in Baltimore I enjoyed
these nets a great amount and I am looking forward to seeing something
simular here. The BRATS where working on a link with the group in
Philidelepha. I don't know weather it was ever set up or not.
When I started in Amateur Radio I was most interested in HF and DX. Now
although I enjoy those aspects of Ham Radio I look have to say one of my
main interests is ATV. I would encourage anyone who has never checked out
ATV to find someone in your area who is active. I would also encourage
anyone who is active in ATV to let those in your community know and share
the fun.

I noticed a company called Ranger Communications in the AES catalog making
10M allmode mobiles that seem reasonably priced. Has anyone had any
experience with these. How do they compare to the Uniden HR 2510 and 2600?
What is the difference between the 2510&2600. Does anyone in tthe
Philadelphia area have a 2510 or 2600 in good condition they would like to
sell?
Please respond to email

Hi, Tim N7XAU here, I have an Alinco DX70T, I bought it about 3 months
ago and have had great signal reports with it on 20 meters and 6 meters.
If your not interested in 2 mtr all mode then the Alinco is alot
cheaper. I havent had any problems with the radio, I have used it at
special event stations, mobile, and as a base. It doesnt have a built
in keyer, but its easy to use, its front end is hotter than the Icom,
and the recieve audio is better to. Thats my two cents worth.

Well if you have any small kids around you could take two tall garbage cans
with the bottoms cut out, tape them together bottom to bottom put in hole
to protect against side cave ins. At this point the cans should stick
above the ground about two and a half feet. Tell the kid you need the hole
deep enough so the cans are flush with ground level. Give the kid a garden
troll and bucket and I'll bet it takes the kid less time to dig those two
and a half feet than it took you to get the tower out of the ground. Just
one idea... Merry Xmas

I am looking for a circuit diagram of the digital display add-on for the

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need a copy of an article discussing modification of the Uniden HR2510
to increase RF output power from 25W to 100W. The article appears on
page 48 of the September, 1989 issue of 73 Ham Radio. If you have a copy
laying around, I would sure appreciate a photocopy.

I know the NEW Kenwood TM-V7A radio has just been released. However, I am
wondering if any other hams have tinkered with the software or hardware for
mods? Does anyone know of any modifications for this radio?

I have to agree with both of these fellows, I have owend one for about 2
months now & am very impressed.
Aside from the weak power output & no DTMF dialing it works great , and
the reciever blows my Kenwood TH-78a's out of the water! No intermod
problems with this puppy & I'm only using the stock rubber duckie.
Have not yet modified this unit & to be honest , I don't intend to- it
works fine out of the box , even on 800!
I use a Radio Shack Tone generator to access autopatch, but you have to
be getting in clean into the repeater for the tones to get across good.
I can access most of the major repeater systems in my area, use it on my
commute home just fine. Truly a marvel in "downsizing" of radios, I bet
in year or less Standard will have a model with DTMF functions, they had
the C108 (2meter), then they came out with the C508a.
I am curious on how some of the other antennas rate, they are very
expensive (but pretty), I tried a couple of them out at HRO & did a
quick mini-comparison to the stock Rubber duckie, didn't see much
difference off the bat, if anyone knows a specific antenna that works
much better than the stock model (besides external) that doesnt
compromise it's compactness & is worth the money, please advise.

Tim,
I couldnt agree more. I own both the 706 and the 70T. I've owned the
DX70T since mid 1995 and the Icom since late 95. After using both
extensively during the past year, I think the 70T is a lot more radio
as far as HF goes. I enjoy CW DXing and I've used both rigs side by
side on a 2 element quad in the midst of some nice pileups.
I've also used both rigs on vacations throughout Asia.
I must say that the Alinco is BETTER ON HF than the Icom...even when the
Icom is equipped with the 250 HZ FL101 narrow cw filter. The Alinco RX
is better...the TX on CW QSK is much better on the Alinco too. I also
find the user interface of the Alinco to be better than the Icom.
Finally, the Icom runs very HOT, especially in the hot/humid southeast
Asia climate. Alinco needs to add a cw keyer and VSWR meter. Otherwise
a winner.
I like the all-in-one feature of the IC-706, but to be honest I use it
more as a 2M/6M allmode rig than as an HF rig. The SSB audio is not
nearly as hot/clear as the Alinco.

Just got my FT50R a few weeks ago and noticed the reception with the
stock antenna isn't all that great.
So after reading the comments of other people here, I narrowed my choices
down to two: Diamond SRH519 and Comet SMA3.
I've read that the Diamond is very slim. Is there a danger of
accidentally bending it and making a permanent fold on it?
Which would you recommend?
I normally listen in the 144, 440, 506, 960 Mhz area.

Hi Nick,
RCI makes an OK 10M rig, as does Uniden but I have found that the Clear Channe
l Ranger AR-3500 to have
been a much better design internally. The RCI and Uniden radios although sold
as "10M" rigs, they are
aimed at the CB'er market and seem to lack in a few areas of quality.
Unfortunately, Clear Channel no longer produces the AR-3500 so finding one may
be difficult.
If I had to pick between the RCI and the Uniden, I'd be more likely to get the
Uniden.
Jim..

I had one for a few years (while I last had a house). Worked fine.
Broadbandedness seemed adequate. It's heavy, and best I remember it
has a split (halved) boom... meaning that the mast has to slip into
the mounting HOLE (in the boom/mast bracket) from top or bottom while
it's up on the tower. Else, the boom and mast have to be preassembled
on the ground. The latter is much easier, but unless you have a
tremendously-long ginpole, you'll not be able to put the antenna
on a tall mast and gain some height above the top of the tower.
In other words, one doesn't put the mast in the tower first, tie it
too the rotator, and then hoist the antenna next to the mast and bolt
it on right there. The good thing about this design is that there
is a bolt that must go thru the mast to hold the antenna to it... any
slipping due to crosswind happens in the rotator.
I am open to my recollection being corrected by someone that's put
one up since 1988.
That's maybe some help??? It is bandwidth-wise better than the TH6.

HRO in Denver has a whole bin full of brand new microphones for the TM-742
-style radios at $20
each. Sounds like a better price for a replace cord :-)

It actually starts on p.75, if I remember correctly.

WRT antennae for the 508, you can't beat the laws of physics,... bigger
is better! The standard duckie is OK on the ham bands for which it was
designed, but doesn't perform as well 'out of band' as an after market
antenna. I have what I believe is a Comet dual band duck that is 10"
long, that is an outsatanding performer both in and out of the ham
bands,but at 10", looks a little silly on the radio. It is however,
amazing what a decent antenna will do with as little as 250mw output. It
actually will match the performance of a 2.5W HT with a with a marginal
antenna.

Nick Feliccia asked about the Uniden 2600
I bought one when my big rig was in for service, and have owned it for
about 5 years. They are pretty nice and well built. Two things that I
don't like are: 1. power output is non adjustable, 25 watts out (wish it
was switchable to 1 or 2 watts). 2. the tx/rx switching is very slow -
during rapid-fire contest QSO's, the other party is half-way through
their info when the audio kicks in. Otherwise it is a very nice little
radio.
About the Ranger/RCI 2950. I bought one and used it for about ONE
afternoon before sending it packing. The heatsink is jagged and caught
on my finger - ouch! The "VFO" knob is about the size of a toothpaste
cap, and when you turn this little toothpaste cap knob, the audio blanks
out with each click. Not very useful for the amateur market (but it's
not really intended for the amateur market - the "mod" is supposed to be
Chimp Simple; a very fitting description).

I recently bought a Kenwood TS520S and while tuning it into a dummy load
blew the main fuse (I hadn't read the instructions closely enough). After
replacing the fuse, I can tune into a dummy load and the radio puts out
about 100W on most bands, but when I measure the plate current idling it's
at about 60mA like the manual says, but the meter twitches upward
occasionally, (I don't think it did this before). Is something else
wrong? Do I need to replace the driver or PA tubes? I can't try the
radio out on the air yet, as I'm waiting to get a building permit issued
for my antenna. Please reply here or to 150@westside.com
Thanks.

This is more a question for the computer column, but I'm sure my
fellow hams would be knowledgeable. I've heard pros/cons of leaving
a CPU of a home PC running ("on") vs. switching it off every night
and on the next day. Which is better for the system? I'm not talking
about the monitor, which has a separate shut-off switch.
Any ideas? I have an AST 166 MHz machine.
Thanks & Season's Greetings,

Does any one have the "Illustration Booklet" for this scope? The Vertical amp
board is dead and the trouble shooting chart refers to Test #2. The page befor
e
(130) says Test #1 is in the "Illustration Booklet."
Thanks.

I owned a DX-70 for about six months, earlier this year. I found it to
be very easy to use, but very susceptible to front-end damage from other
nearby transmitters. The Alinco people in Torrance were very helpful,
and repaired the transceiver twice at no charge. In both cases, the
VERY samll protective diodes in the front-end were shorted. The damage
was caused by overloading from a 500 watt SSB antenna located about
fifty feet from the DX-70 antenna; in both cases, the SSB RF was at a
frequency substantially different that the DX-70 (8mHz SSB vs l4 mHz
DX-70.) Obviously, a ham transceiver this "tender" would fare poorly in
a "Field Day" environment. After the second repair, I took the DX-70 to
Jun's Electronics, in Culver City, CA., and traded it in on a IC-706. I
suffered a net loss of about $475 on the deal.
I think the design deficiency in the DX-70 is a a reflection on Alinco's
lack of HF experience; the DX-70 was their first HF rig, all others
being VHF-UHF types. The Alinco people in California could not have
been more helpful or friendly. It's a shame that they go stuck with the
DX-70. I hope that subsequent Alinco HF radios will be more rugged.
I have used the IC-706 in the identical environment that killed the
DX-70, and have had no difficulty with it. It has some features that
are lacking in the DX-70, but one would expect that from a radio that
costs $300-400 more. I like the built-in keyer, and the SWR meter is
handy when I'm operating maritime mobile. I can use a simple antenna
tuner eithout a tuning meter in it.
I'm a Merchant Marine radio officer, and I use the small HF rig to keep
in touch with friends while I'm at sea.
Any questions, pls contact me at <w4pbc@digital.net>

The Kenwood TS-50 noise blanker works, and the Ten-Tec Scout blanker
is superb. The other blankers are ineffective, save the mediocre one
in the Icom 706, according to QST reviews.

Hi. I have mounted an Alinco 2 meter radio inside a Ford Aspire

1) Thru the glass.
2) One that attaches to the hatchback (if there is such an animal)

As long as the box is protected by surge suppression on the AC line
and landline/mmcp, there should be no problem. This assumes that the
processor is adequately cooled. A fan will do that whether mounted on
top of the processor or just drawing air out of the case but doing
both is best.
You should also consider the MTBF of the components and warranty
contract if any on the box. Sooner or later something is going to need
replacing either for repair or upgrade. I don't know what your plan is
for the box, but you'll probably upgrade before repair.

Diamond. To prove his point he pulled out his FT50 and he had a Diamond on
it. As far as breaking it, I doubt it, my 11 mo old son got ahold of it
and its still in one piece.I have bent it, dropped it etc. with no

Your drive will fial before the CPU, unless for some reason you are not
getting cooling. If I will use my PC gain within about 12-24 hours, I
just let it run.
Also, the thing doesn't heat up as much if there is almost no processing
going on, which is the case when the thing just sits there. The biggest
processing load is the screen saver.

Hi Abe,
If the chip is getting proper heat dissipation, there should be no
problem leaving it running. Although my PC is an older 486/33, I leave it
on 24 hrs a day for at least four days at a stretch due to its
application. Most of the chips made after mine include an integral fan,
so they get more cooling than mine does (they also dissipate more heat).

Most Motorola software of this generation will allow one to program out of
band freqs by holding the shift button down while typing the numbers (not
the decimnal though). The RSS will show the shift chacters ($$^.)))) for
446.0000 for example) while typing, then display the correct numbers when
accepted.

I agree with the previous postings. The 508A is hands down the best
HT for receiving I have ever owned. I carry mine around whenever I
travel, even overseas, with no hassle--after all, it is no bigger than a
pager with the antenna off.
Recently in Tokyo I bought the latest version of the radio -- the
Standard C701. It looks just like the 508A but has full coverage receiver
and transceive on the 1.2 GHZ band. The receiver is just as hot as the
508A and they have added more memories, 100 in all.
Standard makes great radios.

The NWS WX receiver uses a 1050 Hz tone to activate. S-Com repeater
controllers are easily set up to send this frequency tone. I have thought
about doing the same conversion here in Paoli, IN. But so far have not
had enough takers in the club.

hi... mitch here at vibroplex...
unfortunately, the prior owners of the vibroplex company did
not keep examples of bugs produced over the years for the
company collection... i am trying to remedy this situation
... so, if you have an old vibroplex bug (or know of one)
that you would like to see as part of the company's permanent
history, please email or call... i pretty much have good
examples of most post ww2 bugs (except those with tan bases)...
but i am very interested in knowing of any ww2 or prior bugs,
and especially bugs 'with a history'...
thanks for any help or leads...
mitch, w4oa

It shouldn't matter either way, especially if you use the monitor and
hard drive time out features available on most newer PC's. It's not a
bad idea to reboot periodically, however, because occasionally some
windows programs do not always terminate properly, leaving portions of
their programs (.DLL's) trapped in memory.

The AEA wefax product works well on laptop if you have good vga
type (compatible) display. 640X480 Active matrix works well.
Don't try to display on CGA type laptops. The interface can be built
instead of bought, but it would take me some time to post the schematic
Find the software from DL5YEC and build his interface. Also works
well 73 KD3SH

And don't forget to write your representatives in Washing, D.C. They are
the culprits who are responsible for your RFI/TVI woes.
Several years ago, the FCC proposed that all consumer electronic goods
be made RFI/TVI proof as a matter of law. Average cost to the consumer
at that time would have been $1.20 per unit. The lobbyists ganged up on
our representatives and persuaded them to refute the FCC's proposal. The
FCC lost against big money and now you and I are paying the price.
It is not the ham or cb operator's fault. It is the fault of our
representatives in our government.
Radio transmitters are designed to produce RF power at specific
frequencies. Receivers are designed to intercept and demodulate these
signals. Stereos, cordless phones, etcetera are not designed to
intercept RF transmissions. Call your representatives and tell them to
force the manufacturers to make consumer goods that perform as RF
receivers to get their act together. It is not the ham or cb operator's
fault (well, maybe the cb operator...)

Don, I am running PC-Pakratt 2.0 with no problems using WIN 95.
What problems are you having? I'll try to help, but don't know what
areas
are causing problems.
Does the program start up but not recognize the TNC? (error message)
Does it recognize the TNC but not initialize it? (just sits there)
???
Please advise.

-- Information requested from users of Yaesu's FT-990: I have read that
some owners have experienced high audio or IF noise from thier units.
Can anyone confirm that this is a problem. What has been your
experience?? Are you generally satisfied with this radio? How does it
compare with a TS-850SAT for example? Any recommendation for the dc vs.
ac powered unit.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

One never knows the intent of your posting. One never knows if you
are telling the truth or lying. I suspect you are bitter toward
Russel Stover's for something. Why didn't you go to the Health

There are few if any *good* CAT programs for the Icoms, except for
a very expensive commercial one available here in UK.
I wrote my own in Power Basic. It works. It has squelch detect
built in and can scan from an ASCII file, zero and load memories,
but apart from that only does what is already built into my IC736.
Trouble with many shareware/freeware programs is they assume that
every rig has the same rig software address as the writer's and there
is seldom any way of deducing what address the program is using
and/or no way of changing the address anyway. The IC736 can use
a wide range of addresses.
I also had to build my own interface. The CT17 interface only works
in the direction computer>rig and does not have squech detect. A home-
brew interface is very easy to build and cost next to nothing.
Try the ARRL program someone else mentioned, and let us know how you
get on with it.

The pinout is:

Bias: 1
Screen: 5 (also connects to ring around tube, below insulator
Plate: Top of tube
There is also a 4CX250R which also has a 6V heater but has some

since then have replaced several transistors but still have poor
sens. also have no manual or schematic to help on this. any help

Bob,
The thru-the-glass antennas I've tried have turned out to be very noisy
compared to just about any of the alternatives. It's a neat concept, but
in my experience, it doesn't seem to be well suited to "real-world"
mobile use.
I would opt for a good magnet-mount or hatchback mount 5/8-wavelength
antenna. As a lower-profile or easily-removeable alternative, you might
check out the little "candy-kiss" magnet-mount (a really tiny magnet that
looks like a Hershey chocolate kiss and just won't budge at highway
speeds) antennas that are widely available through the mail and at
hamfests. They won't match the 5/8 wave models, but I've tried a couple
of them, and had much better results than with my two (former) glass
mounts.
Good luck,
Bob Moroney

Does anyone know of any 6-meter, 2-meter and 70-cm SSB kits that would
be good to use for the Phase-3D sat when it gets in orbit. I'm a
college student with limited funds. I would like to work the sat when
it get up but can not buy the high price equipment that is needed but
would like to build a small sat station if possible.
Thanks

Hi folks,
A couple of questions for those who might know. .
The extended RX mod for the YAESU FT-5100 Only shows it recieving down
to 128 mhz. Is this as low as it will go? also how can you turn on/off
the AM mode RX?
Along with this, when you wide RX the radio can you adjust the lower
limits on the UHF side down to 410 or 400 mhz. without messing things
up?
Now for the FT-8000R question.
The manual is vague about the AM mode, it automatically goes to AM mode
when you tune down from 136mhz. I see no way to turn this mode on above
the VHF band at all, likewise the AM mode box is "greyed out" on the
software when I try to activate it on some of the milair freqs I like to
listen to.
Email me if you have any ideas.
73's

I have seen many fan failures and it is usually due to worn out bearings.
If a cooling fan should fail it is likely other stuff will fail as the
heat builds up in the computer's case.
Also a computer is more likely to fail if it is powered up during a
thunder storm. Often high voltage low energy spikes are induced on the
wiring connected
to the computer (power, serial, network, etc.). The spikes may not have enough
energy to damage the computer by them self. However, they can provide a path
for the high current available from the power supply to flow and damage the
solid state components.

With proper cooling, you shouldn't have any trouble leaving yer computer
on 24-7. And, if you run A Real OS(TM) like linux, you shouldn't have any
trouble on the software side, either:
macross:~$ uptime
2:00pm up 23 days, 8:31, 3 users, load average: 0.12, 0.03, 0.01
macross:~$
WHich sorta brings us to my question. I'm not a ham (yet!), but I am
interested in tcp over packet networks. Specifically, I'd like to network
a notebook in my car to my linux box at home. Now, I know this is gonna
involve mote that just getting a radio & plugging it into my computer, but
what _does_ it involve? Can anyone point me at an URL or something?
Thanx for any help!

I have an IPlantronics headset model # MS5O/T55-2. The headset has an
amplifier
circuit that need to be powered. I would like to adapt this for use in
amateur radio.
If you have any wiring diagrams or schematics on how to wire this unit
please let
me know. This is similar to the headsets that air traffic controllers use.

I have operated a TS-690SAT for about 3 years since purchasing it. I never
used it on 6m until recently and my buddy, VE4APG, reports that the audio
is distorted and my signal appears to be generating intermod above and
below the carrier.
However, when I move up the band to 52.525, where my antenna has a very
poor VSWR and where foldback to about 20 Watts output takes place, my
signal is clean and undistorted.
All efforts to generate a clean, clear signal at 50.120 are fruitless. I
have tried less mike gain, less carrier and less power output - all with no
avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If there's anybody who has done some research or experemental stuff,
I'am very intrested.

Cellular Group advertises that they can modify the Pro 26 along with
many others to receive cell freq. I don't happen to have their address
handy at the moment. They advertise in Monitoring Times all the time.
Maybe someone else has their address or it is on the Monitoring Times
web page.

That sounds pretty scientific, Roger. Reminds me of the 10 meter after dinner
ragchews we use to have:
Station A: I have a new microphone, how does it sound ?
Station B: Awful. Too many lows, no highs, and constricted.
Station C: Sounds OK to me....
Station D: I don't think it sounds as good as your other mic.
Station E: Sounds Great to me.
Personally, I have never heard any Icom HF radio that sounded 'OK' with
an Icom stock mic, so I guess either opinons still differ or Icom finally
figured out how to make a radio with decent transmit audio. Not that I don't
like Icom HF radios, I have four of them, but never could make the audio
sound good on any of them without some outboard equalization and a
little help from Mr. Heil.

Leave it on, I do it all the time and I could not begin to guess how many
thousands of hours on these units. ( and they do not even have automatic
powering down BIOS ) Hardrives can easily handle the constant running. I
have a old 286-12 that runs pack and has not been shut off for several
months and it still has the ol RLL hard drive. You system will be outdated
or upgraded before you wear it out

I have a Yaesu FT-840 for sale. I've had it about eighteen months. I
would like to get $600 for it. It doesn't have any filters installed.
I would throw in a Heil Pro Headset with the rig for the first $600!

I set up a web site listing data on various "sub-Mini" "pencil" vacuum
tubes. Mostly found in military surplus stuff, like boatanchor radios.
List includes voltage and current ratings on the heater/filament, screen
grids, plates, cathode or grid 1 biasing, Gm, mu and plate resistance.
and power outpot rating for audio output submini's.

Timo, I have a couple of the Motorola pagers (wrist watch). If you
could make an offer for the watches or trade something for one or both
of them. I think the ant. is in the strap.

I agree with most of the responses saying it is OK if sufficiently cooled.
On
Novell networks the server is really just a PC and runs constantly. Power
is
protected with a UPS.
Note that some high performance disk drives specify a minimum airflow. To
be safe, run your PC for several hours then quickly open the case and feel
the
drives. If they are hot rather than warm consider mounting a small (3" -
4")
DC fan near the drives. Remember that heat is the biggest enemy of silicon
chips. Also open up the machine periodically and remove dust as it will
accumulate much faster with the fans running all the time.
I always turn off the monitor when not in use to save power and to greatly
reduce fire hazard. Monitors more than any other computer component
cause fires.

Hi Dan,
Don't know how you installed the program, but....
I did the normal install of PakRatt from a DOS window. Went back to Win95,
created a shortcut icon, and it works fine.

I am looking to buy an HF rig. Recently, having posted a request for info
on Alinco DX-70T vs Icom IC-706, MANY responded and I concluded the DX-70T
while it has fewer bells and whistles, HF performance is better. NOW, the
FT-840 price is in the same range as the Alinco.Which one to buy?
Please send me your input on the FT-840 and any comparison to the DX-70T
if any. Also, I am wondering if there are mods for the FT-840. Thanks for
responding. I appreciate the input.

All you need now is the $35 service manual to identify the diodes!:>
Actually this mod is almost word for word from the "Radio/Tech
Modifications".
There are 8 diodes located just below the speaker and microphone
connector's. If the radio is rotated upside down (with the speaker
jack to the left) the diode to be removed is the 3rd one down on the
left row. This needs to be moved to the 3rd one down position on the
row on the left. (NOTE: make sure the polarity is the same as the
others in the new row). Also you may or may not have all positons
filled with diodes, it all depends on what model you have. But you
will see two rows of positions in that area.
I know kinda hard to follow, but after you open the radio, it will make
sense.

I have CI-V Interfaces for sale. The cable can be split, and up to 20
radios can be controlled on the same bus line! They will work on any ICOM
radio that has computer interface compatibility (most HF rigs, and newer
handhelds). Come with software for DOS. Just $10 ea with software!

I purchased a TS-570D about a month ago. Its a great rig for the money
but its not a contest radio. I don't know why QST choose to use the CW filter
over the SSB one. The CW filter is NOT needed and it's a waste of money.
The narrow band SSB filter on the other hand does help out in a pile-up.
QST made mention of the Multi-channel knob being tide to to many features.
I do agree with them on that, but in a short time I got used to using it.
The TS-570D is a great buy for the money. I payed about $400 less then the
list price that was posted in QST. (Mail order from Texas Towers)
If your in the market for a low to mid priced radio, the 570D is a good way t
o go.

I recently heard of a cable that attaches from you Reciever to
the serial port of a computer which allows CW to be translated
by your Computer for display on your monitor. Is this true?
I thought that a TNC was needed. If it is true does anyone
have the pin outs to build such a cable or maybe a source that
I could contact to obtain one.
Thanks and Merry Christmas

I was thinking about buying this rig because I do mostly cw work, love
to chase dx (when it's there :), and enjoy contesting...
Your comment concerns me somewhat...could you expound on it? I don't
have money to waste on any rig that can't live up to my expectations.
I only have the money for one rig, and one rig only. It's gotta a good
dx, contesting radio...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Have a great holiday season.

This is an interesting comment. I've owned an Icom 740 since it was
new, and am very happy with it. But I hardly ever see commnets about
it. Is there some defect that caused them to be melted down? Do happy
owners keep them a secret?
Seems they'd be a great used rig for newcomers, if you could find one.

Check out the Yaseu FT-50R....
Change the antenna to a Comet SMA-3 - add the commercial battery clip
Change the Batt to Metal Hydride - Do the freeband mod
Then you have the best there is - Preferred by DMAT's and ARES/RACES
groups all over. No, I'm not affliated with Yaseu - Yes, I'm a happy

I can't compare the FT-840 to the other rigs your refering to but I
can tell you that I am very satisfied with the performance I get from
mine and the price was definately right. If you plan on doing CW, I
would advise adding a 500Hz filter to the Yaesu. The 2.8kHz filter it
comes with is way too wide.
There is a general coverage tx mod for it too. It can be found at

Brian; You can program the VHF lower limit down to the point until
the synth. looses lock. The display will then flash. This happens
around 130Mhz. There is no AM mode available. Good luck

I have the above 2 meter mobile radio that I purchased used but the
battery id dead or missing! I took the top cover off and the bottom as
well and I couldn't find the battery anywhere. I spent an hour looking
everywhere. The only thing is that I couldn't get the front panel off
because the king-kong'ish bozo at the factory decided it would be
funny to both glue the screws in and tighten them so tight that they
could not be removed and I had to drill out two screws after they
stripped despite screaming from straining to remove them without
stripping em.
Can anyone tell me if the battery is even behind the front panel and
the trick to getting the front cover off without having to use a
chainsaw or hydraulic woodsplitter so I can replace the battery
without having to send my new-to-me radio to the factory for a near
eternity? If the battery is not behind the front panel where does it
plug into because it is missing!!!
Thanks for the help!

Yes it's true. The cable has a small pcb enclosed in the 25pin D
connector, mounting a simple limiter amp. e.g. 741. This is powered from
spare lines on the COM port.
The software - HamCom - drives the lines high + and low - for the rail
supplies and it polls a line from the amp. output at high speed. It senses
data present and calculates validity and data value from the results. This
can be code, rtty, hffax, etc.

Hello all, Tnx for reading.
Looking to buy a good used triplexer for 144/220/440 mhz... between
100-250 W max power would be more than enough as right now I'm at 6W on
2m, my 440 rig is 70, the 220 rig will be 100 and I'll be getting a 2m
Mocom at 35W in the next couple of days.
Thanks,
DAve

Al,
I don't know who you talked to at Kenwood
but the cords are available. They come with the 8 pin connector.
I don't have the part number at the house with me but I can look
it up at the shop tomorrow.

Hello,
I recently purchased the new Yaesu FT8000r, and performed the basic
CAP mods, and was wondering if anyone has done any more with this
unit. It comes from the factory with 110-550mhz, 730-1,300mhz receive
capabilities. If it is like the FT50r ht, it should tx into the 220
band. Any help would be appreciated.
tnx es 73,

Richard,
Check this page:
http://www.concentric.net/~n9zle/hc.html
Bruce, N9ZLE sells the hardware interface you need, and will give you the
HamComm/JVFax shareware you need to make it work. It plugs into a
serial port on your computer, copies CW, RTTY, PACKET (crude form), SSTV,
and WEFAX pictures. It costs a whopping $20 usually, but they are on sale
for $15 for Christmas. Once you get the software, there are schematics in
the DOC files to show you how to build other interfaces if you are interested.
I bought one a few months ago, and use if for HF WEFAX pictures, and it
works great. Be aware that there isn't any hardware that copies 'perfect'
CW. How well any of the hardware devises copy is very dependent on the
strength of the received signal and the way the CW is being sent.

Hi, I am looking at purchasing a small HF amplifier. I saw the Ameritron
811A and H models. Also is the new TEN TEC Centuar. Any comments about
these amps would be appreciated.

FOR SALE:
Double-Pole - Double-Throw Knife Switches
these are great for use in 450 or 300 ohm
ladder line antenna systems, to switch
between two antennas or from one antenna to
two different tuners, etc... they are made
in USA by Leviton, plastic base, all brass
metal parts, 1.25" x 2.25" in size, 6/32 brass
screws for connections. I have seen similar
ones at radio shack (for switching tv lead-in),
but these Levitons are a LOT more heavy duty.
I have used them at KW levels with no problems.
I have about 50 of them left...
I'll mail you 3 switchs for $10. postpaid (USA).

Save your money. For around $500 you can get a Collins 30L1 which runs
four 811A's same as these amps and at the same time get a much better
piece of equipment. Avoid Ameritron - now owned by MFJ. If you must
buy new, go with the Ten-Tec. Good quality, good engineering, but still
second fiddle to Collins.

Yaesu FT-10 Extended Transmit Mod for 140-174MHz use.
1. Remove antenna and battery.
2. Locate the Ni-Cd battery sticker on the back of the radio chassis.
Pry up the corner of the sticker and peel it off carefully.
3. Remove the two screws located under the sticker. These retain the
keypad.
4. Slowly lift off the keypad. Use care not to dislodge the gasket.
5. Locate and unsolder the 0 ohm chip resistor at location "M" (see
diagram below).
6. Re-install keypad with two screws. Be sure gasket is properly seated.
7. Replace the Ni-Cd sticker if desired. Reattach battery and antenna.
8. Press down and hold the Top-Notch and Lamp button while turning the
radio on.

I leave all of mine on constantly for one very important reason. It is best
to reduce the thermal shock of startup on CPU's and memory chips. Consider
that the average 486 CPU goes from room temprature of about 68-74 degrees F
to well over 140 degrees in a relatively short time. This can and does
cause tiny stress fractures that may contribute to component failure.
Repeated startup and cooldown may also cause a component to eventually
"walk" out of it's socket, although this is more prevalant in older
machines. My opinion is to make sure it is adequately protected from
electrical transients, and leave it on! Replacing a fan that wears out is a
lot cheaper than a CPU!

The specs says it receives 110-550 but says nothing about am for
aircraft
recieve. Like the ft-8500 does. Any comments on either one of these
radios will be gratefully appreicated. Or which duel band has the most

Can someone really tell me whaT mil-spec
810 is?
If I drop my HT into the ocean, will it
work we I retrive it. I see a lot of
hopla on this Mil -Spec., So the case is
less likely to break if it drops on the
ground.
I would bet my Bendix King or Motorola
saber is more rugged than these Mil spec
HT's.

Mike,
I do not have the actual text of Mil-Spec 810 at hand, but it is quite
extensive. Conforming to Mil-Spec 810 can be anything from the color of the
paint to some real breakproof stuff. What one needs to ask is what part or /s
of Mil-Spec 810 has the unit been tested for. I know some of ICOMs land mobil
e
units meet parts C,D, and E. ICOMs land mobile radios are not waterproof
although they are factory mutual intrensically <sp> safe for several classes
and groups.
Bottom line is a Mil-Spec radio is not necessarily any better that one that
does not meet Mil-Specs. It is doubtful any are using Mil-Spec componets in
them. Remember ask for what specific part of Mil-Spec 810 the radio meets.

Also if you or a friend are a member of CompuServe you can look in library 14
of the HamNet forum and you will find a small QBasic program titled CI-V.ZIP o
r
CIV.ZIP. It is a IC-737 control program written in QBasic. It will work with
the 706 and give you a good base to add features to.

Today I was given 2 Mac Plus and 3 Mac SE machines and not a lot else.
Two of the Pluses and one SE seem to work when I power them up.
However, I do not have the operating system for them. Can anyone out
there tell me which version of the Mac OS is appropriate (or will run
on) for these machines and where I can get a copy of it? Your help is
greatly appreciated. Reply by e-mail to k0jv@juno.com or via this

There is a mod for the Pro-26, but you will have to order some parts
for it. You can either order just the UK CPU which takes a
considerable amount of skill, or you can get the logic board with the
CPU already attached. The latter doesnt even require soldering skills,
mainly screwdriver skills. Look at http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/
for more information under the the Pro-26 subpage. This mod would make
the Pro-26 an awesome handheld. I wish that I had a few extra $$ to
spend.

I recently purchased a Yaesu FT-50R and am very pleased with it.
However, I have encountered two bugs that I have not seen posted before.
The first is a rather nasty birdy at 146.75, and the second is that the
small speaker symbol in the lower right-hand corner of the display does
not display when a signal is being received (as stated in pg. 50 of the
manual).
Has anyone else encountered these? Does anyone know of any fixes
(especially for the birdy)? The serial # on my rig is of the format
6K111xxx.
Also, is there any way to perform the extended rx/tx mod on radios with
the newer firmware?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I noticed in QST a company called Patcomm selling a transceiver that
uses Collins mechanical filters. Since Collins filters seem sort of
hard to come by, does anyone know anything about the ones used here?

By the way I have a Motorola Visar that dropped once. It is dead. My Yaesu
FT-10R
went down the Subway stairs (2) twice and across the room and hit the wall
once.
It still works great and you can't even see the scratch. Both are Mil-Spec
810 rated and you are talking to someone who praises Motorola stuff.

Mike,
I do not have the actual text of Mil-Spec 810 at hand, but it is quite
extensive. Conforming to Mil-Spec 810 can be anything from the color of
the
paint to some real breakproof stuff. What one needs to ask is what part or

of Mil-Spec 810 has the unit been tested for. I know some of ICOMs land
mobile
units meet parts C,D, and E. ICOMs land mobile radios are not waterproof

I have recently purchased a standard D-104 microphone with the TUG9 stand. Th
e
base of the stand is a grey color and it has many surface scratches in it. I'
m
interested in re-surfacing and painting it.
Does anyone have recommendations for cleaner, re-surfacing equipment (i.e. wil
l
fine sandpaper work?), and brand/type of paint?
I'm also interested in a good cleaner/polisher for the silver sections of both
the stand and the "lolly-pop" mic head.
Thank you very much for your help and happy holidays/new year to all.

None of the Spectra software I've had access to allows this - including the
latest version - I've had to patch it to allow ham-band frequencies. Also,
I've found that the VCO will not lock up on some radios on out of band
frequencies and must be modified.

Greetings to all!
I am extremely confused by the advertisements about IF-DSP from Yeasu,
ICOM, and Kenwood, while I am trying to pick my next HF rig.
Yeasu's FT-1000MP features Enhanced Digital Signal Processing (DESP) for
"noise reduction", "contour selection", and "audio equalization". It
also says, "... EDSP provides SSB digital modulation, band width filter
selection, mike response, and voice pass band tailoring....." But the
underlined statement says that "COLLINS" 455 KHz/2.75 KHz SSB mechanical
Filter Built in. That's not all, Collins 455KHz/500Hz CW "Mechanical
Filter" is an option.
ICOM's IC-775(DSP) says the similar things...."Fully Adjustable DSP
Noise
Reduction"... and "Pull Out Those Weak Signals that you've never heard
before". Now, optional filters available.....
Newer the better? IC-756 has "Fully tunable IF-DSP" on transmit and
receive. CW narrow filters are options.
The most impressive IF-DSP ad comes from Kenwood's TS-870 claiming the
crystal filtering is inferior and absolutly no optional metal cubes are
needed.
The TS-570D uses AF-DSP. Optional CW or SSB filters can be purchased
but
only either one can be installed at any given time. That's not apple to
apple so I'll disregard it for the sake of my topic.
Really! Can someone please explain why IF DSP will still need the
crystal
filters installed? I thought the idea of having IF DSP is to do away
the
need of the good old metal cubes; in addition to the "Pass Band Tuning"
(or Slope tunning in Kenwood's term), and noise killing "Signal
Processing".
Is the TS-870D on the right track? Or the competitors' implementations
make up the lack of what Kenwood is missing when doing it 100%
digitally?
Which implementation can really "Pick Up" signals by filtering out QRM
and QRN? Which implementations have their short fall? I've heard
about the Kenwood's front end overload problem, but is it just a myth?
Thanks for your time.
73!

Ok It is Thursday and I am at work... The part number for the cord is
listed in the TM241A Service Manual as E30-2149-08 and shows to be a
current number in the parts list...
The mikes the others are talking about have the RJ-45 connector on them
and will not be a direct replacement for your mike ( you need an 8 pin
mike plug)

The battery is behind the front panel. Besides the four screws you have
already removed the nut on the mike connector and the encoder have to be
removed also. BTW we charge $25 plus the battery to replace it and
turnaround is less than a week...

I would definitely recommend it. Keep in mind that it does not have a DTMF
pad for those who want autopatch or repeater control, but if you don't need
DTMF I say get it. The price, size and weight are great. It is perfect
for carrying in pocket, purse briefcase etc. Get one.

I have a 20 amp Astron supply I'm trying to fix for a retired friend. When
ever any load is placed on it drops from 13.8 volts down to 8.5 volts. I have
tried calling Astron and asking for help, they don't want to help. This supply
was sent back for the same problem under warranty when new. So far I have
installed a new bridge, two 2n3771?,the voltage regulator and the 2n3905 and a
new triac with no luck. Had any experience with a similar problem? Sure would
like to hear from you.

Hi everybody,
I have a TS-450SAT which developed a problem (I think). 2 years ago I
installed a Mosley TA-53M antenna (4 el 5 band) and this seemed to work
perfect for the limited space I have here. Then after a while I noticed that
SWR went up on 20 and 17 meter. On 15-12 and 10 everything was still ok (1:1
SWR) The strange thing was that even while I used the build in antennatuner
and while tuning with 10W SWR went 1:1 it started to jump up and down again
when in SSB on full power (100W). The same happened on 17 m.
Even after changing the coaxcable this problem remained the same. Then while
away from home and using an FD-4 I once again noticed that SWR was jumping up
and down on 20meter.
Now I used a TS-50S on the same antennasystem and everything is OK (1.7:1 SWR
max on 20 meter that can be tuned with MFJ 941E to 1:1) With this tranceiver
SWR is constant so the only thing at fault is the TS450.
Anybody has any idea what the problem might be?
Moving the TRX has no effect (I thought about RFI to the TRX....) The TS-50
was placed on exactly the same spot as the 450...
Please reply via e-mail since we tend to miss a lot of messages from the
newsgroups.
Thanks, 73

Over in the comp.sys.ibm-pc.hardware groups, the concensus seems to
be: if you only need it for a few hours contigious each day, boot
up, use, and shut down. If you come back to the computer every few
hours throught the day, you'd be better off leaving it on, untill
an expected long period of non-use (like while you're sleeping at
night).
Odds are that you'll upgrade to a 80786 (whenever that comes out)
in a few years anyway. And we wil be laughing at Pentiums, like
the way we laugh at XT's and 286's today.

Sure--but first let's look at this another way:
You buy a 30L1, and you get an amp that's no longer made, that doesn't cover
160 meters or any of the WARC bands, that for which any parts will be a real
procurement challenge, that may be some predator reseller's military surplus
issuance "wiped clean", that may need to be re-tubed (not a lot, but a bit),
and whose sale will further erode the amateur radio industry as we know it in
America.
That's it--support dead companies!. Let the live ones die, THEN buy their
equipment. I get it.
Of course, if you love and run old gear a lot, as I do, these issues are not
insurmountable problems (except the last one). But if you're a relatively new
operator, or can't see the rig up front (ESPECIALLY in the case of gear that
was once procured by the military), or if you hate to see American industry di
e
a slow death, then think again.
Not that there's anything WRONG with Collins (love my 75A3). Actually, I wish
I could AFFORD some new equipment.
Happy New Year.

Now I'll show my ignorance. Will DSP work on the FM mode for
QRN/general high noise level? Have a 6 meter repeater and the noise is
quite bad at times. It's not related to any local equipment because
it's all by itself, no other RF generator's for miles. Will DSP work on
just plain QRN--FM??
Thanks, Rick, W7AV

Thanks for your response, but I beg to differ on the function of the
speaker indicator. Pg 50 of my manual clearly states "...the BUSY
function of the LED is duplicated by the <speaker> icon at the right side
of the display when the squelch is open..."
On the subject of the birdy, what is the format of your serial #, and are
you using the FTT-12 keypad option?
Thanks again!

Hi, I heard several guys talking on the local repeater about a new rig
that ICOM is coming out with to compete with the KENWOOD TS-570D.
It is called the ICOM 746 and is very similar to the Kenwood selling
for about $1500 US. Anyone out there ever heard of this. These guys
sounded pretty sincere.

Extra nice Heath SB200 amp, 10-80, no mods, as close to mint as you
will find, tubes excellent, only selling because he wants 160M amp.
$300 plus shipping, or will meet within 100 miles or so of Buffalo NY
(Randy sometimes will horsetrade equipment, but would probably prefer
to sell outright-you can dicker with him. Once again, reply directly

Alex, I had a problem similar to yours involving the Astron power supply.
First check to see if the input voltage to the regulator is sagging. I'll
bet you it is! I looked all over the place for the cause and finally
found a VERY corroded connection between the PC board the negative
terminal of the filter capacitor! Astron suspended the PC board on the
firmly mounted capacitor with a large screw. Under the board was a star
lockwasher. Dumb construction to be sure! Cliff Buttschardt K7RR

Collins does still manufacture and sell filters to users who purchase

Hi,
I'm looking for a good used HF rig. What do you have? I don't want
to spend an arm and a leg but I don't want a piece of junk either. It
must be electronically and cosmetically in good shape. If your rig is
DC only I'd like a power supply to go with it. Let me know what you
have. You can reach me at 515-255-7726 or email is OK. Thanks and
73, Alan KE3OK@netins.net

I'm looking for a digital clock for my shack that:
* has digits at least 1" tall
* displays in 24-hour format
* reasonably accurate
* not too much hassle to set
* LED display preferred over LCD
The only one I can find in my catalogs that fits the bill is the
MFJ-114, and it's not only out of stock everywhere I checked but
one dealer has discontinued it due to reputed poor quality. Don't
know where to look next...
Any pointers to URLs or company names would be appreciated. Tnx es 73,

Does anyone have any designs for controllers that will work with
programs that support the KCT and SAS1(I think....)controllers?
Even the handshaking that goes on would be a place to start.

Only if you could do it at the IF/RF level...doing it at the audio level
will not help....natural static peaks about 45-60 Mhz....so lowband
radio, cordless phones and 6mtrs (not to mention TV 2 and 3) all suffer!
What equipment are you running? GE or Motorola...if so, you need to
enable the Noise Blanker in the rcvr if you can (this is only true if the
duplexer is notch only or the rptr is split antennas or split site!)
That WILL make a difference (though in Micors, the NB in those rcvrs
suck!....I prefer GE myself on lowband.....and highband, 220 and UHF!

I would like to hear any opinions regarding the Icom IC-W32A or the
Yaesu FT-51 dual band hand helds...
I've looked through Deja News and it looks like the Yaesu gets
mentioned more often. It also looks like the Yaesu has a bit better
software support.
I'm leaning towards the Yaesu for the following reasons:
Modifications:
Appears to allow wider band receive _and_ transmit. Would
allow transmission on Fire/Police VHF. Also allows
transmission on GMRS bands. (I know that transmitting on PS
frequencies is illegal and intend to do so only as an emergency
measure.)
Only found two Icom modifications, one for enhanced rx range
(big deal, already own a scanner ;). The other allows use as
cross band repeater, which I believe is standard on Yaesu.
Flexibility:
Yaesu has multi-function speaker/mic with LCD display.
My local salesman at HRO leans towards the Icom because it's cheaper
and it will Tx @ 5W with built in battery pack.
Any comments or references greatly appreciated.
Would also like to hear recommendations for other high-end dual band
HT's...

I posted a few days ago saying I could get hold of a RS PRO-26 for $200
from a PAWN shop. It sells for around $450 from RS. I believe this is
a good price even though I would only get a 30 day warrenty. No one

I purchased mine new for about $350 so I would say $200 is a fair deal.

Do they make, or can one make, a directional
antennae for the Bearcat 200 scanner that
would fit on the scanner itself ?
I live near an area where they have collared
bobcats with little radio transmitters and
would like to find out where they go (at a
distance).
Thanks - Vince

I have two Tektronix Oscilloscopes that need a new home. Both look ok
but are missing tubes. I have no idea if they would work if the tubes
were installed or not. One is type 516 the other is type 561A. If you
can use one or both, you pay the shipping & handling from NY and there
yours.

I've been looking at the Motorola VHF/UHF General Services radios (462
MHz). Has anyone had experience with any of the Sport series radios?
There are several models that are 2 watts output and now the new ones
which don't require licensing but are only 0.5 watt.
The higher power ones advertise a 2 to 5 mile (line of sight) range while
the lower power ones are about 1/2 a mile to 2 (line of sight).
Any actual user comments would be appreciated in terms of performance and
application.
Thanks,
Jim

The FT-8000R can certainly receive AM on the VHF Aircraft band, and the
receive quality is quite good as well.

Mike,
Not sure about transmit operation on 220MHz (as it's not a Ham band in
this part of the world), but you can use the Yaesu ADMS-2C version
interface/software that was released recently.

I got the following modification from AA5NU:
" To enable AM aircraft receive:
Hold down # key, Mr/B key, and function key at the same time and turn
power on. Wait about two seconds and you are good to go. You can
also now go into the set mode and change the PL setting to 100 which
will give you full frequency input (i.e. all digits must be input). I
find the latter feature very helpful in flipping between the ham bands
and the aircraft band."
This opens up the receive frequencies enabling aircraft band receive.
You'll also be able to enter frequencies that are not receivable, for
instance, 25Mhz or 900Mhz. 175.00 can be entered and I suspect the
receiver is still sensitive at this frequency; however, this does NOT
open the transmit any more than before. I personally would not want
the transmitter to operate outside of amateur frequencies because it
would be too easy to cause inadvertant interference.

Bottom line on dsp hype is. Use your old rig such as the Omni-5, TS-940,
TS440, FT-990, IC-765 etc etc etc. with one of the outboard dsp units such
as the MFJ, NIR or Timewave. Perfomance will be just as good and often
better.
I've used the TS-570. The dsp in it is strictly in the audio section.
DSP used in this manner does not prevent strong signals from desensing
your RF stages due to agc pumping. Thus, a TS-450 fully loaded with real
filters should outperform it at least in the selectivity arena. The 570
does have more "convience features" so consider all factors before
purchasing.

Likely you'll be the one posting the MOD, as your one of the few who have
one! <grin>
Why don't you post a reveiw of your new rig, I know everyone is interested!
Good luck with the new iron.

I have a problem with my VFO 230 (goes with TS830).
When initially turned on it works OK, i.e., changes frequency by rotating
the dial.....
.....after a few minutes of warm up, the change in frequency does not
track in proportion to dial rotation, and after 15-30 minutes turning the
dial has no effect on frequency....the display remains the same.
I can use the VFO, however, my using the"memory" feature to "import" a
frequency into the VFO.
Has anyone had a similar experience, and found a solution? Maybe I can
repair it myself. Noted on Contest Reflector that Kenwood has parts
distribution points on the West and East Coasts, so should be able to get
parts.
Not to clutter up the newsgroup......pse respond to my e-mail

I stupidly waited too long to get the 9600 baud upgrade kit
for my PK-900, and now AEA has closed its doors. I've called
around, but all the dealers seem to be out of stock on the
upgrade kit (presumably because other owners were more savvy
than I was). Anybody have any suggestions as to what I
should do to upgrade the PK-900?

I have found that you can purchase the radio for about $15.00 less by
ordering mail order. Some places ask that you pay shipping. It may even
out. Store bought equals taxes but you get the face to face sale, you
get to see what you bought BEFORE you buy it and you have a service
point that doesn't require to wait a couple of days and risk your radio
to the U.S.Post Office. My savings would have been $27 but I felt more
comfortable dealing with a local company. Always pay with a credit card
for your protection.

If you find the mod that allows full xmit/rcv capabilities let me know.
I only know of the MARS mod (simple removing of a diode/bridge) Nice

Kenwood does not include the instructions in there manual because

Have to disagree, Andy. The new Ten Tec Cenataur is a fantastic
amplifier.
While good, the Collins 30L1 does not offer qsk out-of-box. I would
personally pick a new TenTec amp over a 30 yr old Collins amp. Also,
the
30-L-1 does not do very well on the warc bands...and I recall it wont do
top band w/o some mods.
regards,
Joe BV/N0IAT

Does anyone have pin-outs or additional detailed information on the
ICOM SC-1046 transmitting power module? It's included inside a commercial
VHF hand-held and I'd like to salvage the power module (I'm salvaging other
parts of the HT for other purposes...)

David, I covered this in the .swap group re why DSP at the very low IF
freqs is not enough. Many believe this to be a significant design flaw
of the TS-870 by Kenwood. The TS-570D (which I have, now) does allow a
CW 500 Hz xtal filter to be added. It comes with an SSB xtal filter
built in .. so you would only add a narrower SSB filter if you NEVER do
any serious CW work. The standard SSB xtal filter, plus the DSP, do a
wonderful job on SSB, much better than my TS-440S with narrow SSB
filter.
Until they get the IF for DSP up out of the audio freq range, a
mechanical (or xtal) filter to avoid upstream blocking is a must. It
will happen, but no radio I know of has the A/D technology do operate at
455KHz or higher in DSP today.

Steve, the DSP in the TS-570D is at least as good on CW as using the JPS
NIR-12 on the same radio. Overall, having it all integrated into one
box is a real plus.
But the 500 Hz xtal filter add in is a must (rig already has an xtal
filter for SSB).

I was just thinking about the 1000MP minus one of the receivers. They
could call it the FT 990-A. Including the proven performance of the
990 with the new digital advances of the 1000MP. I bet this radio
would sell like hotcakes. I have worked a ton of guys who said they
didn't give two hoots about dual receive.

I have the older manual which dont seem to apply.
I cant find an email address on Yaesu home page to request the

I have recently posted an ad for a fellow ham w/o Net access. In the
Ad I plainly stated twice that all dealing would have to be made
through the seller, and posted his phone number. I received two
messages from rather prominent names on the ham groups who are, or
give the impression of being, dealers of a sort. Both made offers
substantially lower than the asking price, and both stated that they
wanted me to present these offers, one said that he couldn't waste
money on long distance calls. If you cannot justify the dollar or two
it would cost to make a serious offer as overhead, or at the very
least as the common courtesy of following the request of the posting,
you probably shouldn't be making the offer in the first place. If the
price is too high, and you want to make a legitimate offer to the
seller, at least make the offer to him as requested. a $5.00 phone
call on a 2-300 dollar item isn't that big a bite out of the profit

My IC-2700H, when turning the main frequency knob tunes very slowly. It
appears the optical encoder is not responding to anything faster then a
slow turning rate. I understand there is an easy fix for this problem.
Any insight and help would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody has helped you with this yet?
I would post this in the rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors newsgroup to get the
finer details, but there is one major point I can help you with--the E.F.
Johnson Courier is a linear amplifier that has TWO (count 'em--2) 811A's in it
.
Not four. I think it has a wacky roller inductor-based final tuning circuit,
a la the Thunderbolt and the Desk Kilowatt, perhaps--it's visually similar
from a front-panel appearance standpoint--so it may offer continuous coverage
from at least 3-30 MHz. If it covers 160 meters, I can't tell you. Tim,
WA1HLR runs a Ranger with the accessory plug rewired to put LV B+ on the final
,
and then drives his Courier that way in AM linear mode, but as a linear, you
can use it for CW or SSB, if you're concerned about that. It's a cute little
amp, but isn't that easy to beef up, or so I've heard (like with 572B's,
etc.)--power supply limitations and such. I think if you had a SSB rig that
ran 25 watts on AM and wanted a better AM signal, it would be OK, but there ar
e
better ways to go, I would say. Unless it's free, that is. There aren't many
of them around.
Happy New Year.

Is it a proprietary interface, or does it have a header that you can graft a
TAPR G3RUH modem onto? I would check out the TAPR homepage (sorry, don't have
the URL handy). I know there's a 9600 bps solution they have for my PK-232,
but I've never pursued it.
Good luck--I snagged the Pactor/Gateway firmware upgrade and the DOS-to-Window
s
software upgrade to Pakratt for Windows v.2.00 a week or so ago, which I
probably would have never missed except I assumed that they were going away
forever, and didn't want a dead dog on my hands. Somebody will address the
PK-900 if there's any decent installed base, and TAPR's where I'd look
first--then PACCOM (sp?).
Happy New Year.

Talked to Yaesu tech support, and they confirmed that some FT-50R's have
birdy's anywhere from 146.73 - 146.76. They told me if I ship them the
unit (it's still under warranty), they will put a new board in it that's
hot off of the presses in Japan. This is suppose to fix the problem.
Unfortunately, they would not ship me the board so I could do the repair
myself (and save a few weeks of waiting). Hope this helps out any others
who have encountered this problem.
Thanks to all who responded!
P.S. Does anyone know what the CPU Clock shift function does????

Hello,
I have a htx 100 myself... It looks like it has been through hell, but
works great. I picked it up originally for a very low price because of
its cosmetic condition and the fact that it had minor problems which i
fixed. It is a fabulous little radio when ten meters is open. I have
pages and pages of contacts in the log book that I made with that rig
and a little ten meter homemade dipole hanging off of a tv antenna. I
made the antenna with insulated electrical wire that was destined for the
trash can... and it served me very well.
I would be interested in knowing how to make the little radio produce
40W. That would make a great radio for mobiling around and doing DX.
Could you mail me (or post for all) the information on doing the
conversion or mod.
Thanks and 73
Dan
Happy 97 all

for both transmit and receive for the repeater? Anything else I should
know?
Please e-mail me at: n5zgt@swcp.com
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a Yeasu FT-530 that I use as a "mobile rig", with the display mic
and a speaker from a cellphone handsfree kit, attached through the jack
on the display mic. I am searching for a way to eliminate the audio
"howl" when the volume is set at anything greater than halfway. Using
the internal/external options (FM -> 0 -> VFO) dosen't solve it.
The oddest thing with this is that sometimes it insists on howling like
a wolf at the full moon, and other days, it behaves very nicely without
making a stray noise at all. I can't figure out what causes that!

You can easily modify them to 2 meters. However, the receiver and
exciter are on the same board. No isolation. If you use one sealed
mocom70 as the transmitter and one as the receiver, you'll have a
winner! BTW, they make an excellent packet radio. I have three at a
nodestack running flawlessly for 5 years.
Will email u details abt mods for 2 meters.

I have a station based around a HW-101 and SB200, but one can never
have enough toys.....
so I'm looking for one each
SB-650 Freq Counter (Possibly 2 but I doubt it)
SB-620 Scanalyser
SB-610 Monitor Scope
SB-640 Remote VFO
Bits should be in good working condition, not real ugly, and
having supporting doc is a major plus.

Yes it can be done with just one op-amp and a PCB
the size of the RS232 connector. Get Hamcomm (see below)
there is a schematics inside for simple and more complex
interfaces.
http://oak.oakland.edu:8080/pub/hamradio/arrl/bbs/programs/hamcom31.exe
There is also on the Web someone selling some cheap interfaces for
Hamcomm (never tested one but must be a one op-amp solution too)

I am going to put my FT757 in the mobil (91 Chevy full size pickup) and
would like options on the best type of antenna to use. What kind of
experence does any one have with the SGC smart tuner or any of the look
alikes?
How about the ProAm 5 bander?
I am sure that the old standby Hustler will work just fine but I don't
care for the profile with 3 resonators.
Thank you for your responce.

Yep, I had quite a few in the fleets that I serviced. It was and still
is a good radio. Should give you many more years of service.

I've bought 3 scanners from Pawnshops and have always gotten good prices
and good products. They take them only if they work properly, because they
don't want to lose their collateral if the units don't work. Also, most
people that pawn their equipment don't intend to lose their items, but just
don't have the money to get it back. I'm on very friendly terms with three
pawnshops in my area, and they will let me know if they have something I
might be interested in. One even has ham gear once in a while. If it were
me, I would grab that scanner before someone else does!

Hi Phil, Interesting comments on the IF versus AF DSP scheme. I'm
curious how the 570 is on cw. One guy commented that it is hardly a
contest rig. It was also interesting to note your comparison to a
TS440S. Not to be critical to your post, but I think the TS440S was
one of the worst receivers ever manufactured (especially on CW).
Curious how much better the 570 really is.
Thanks,
Joe

The FCC, on August 5, !996 adopted a rule which partially pre-emts the
enforcement of community association restrictions with respect to satellite
dish antennas, broadcast television antennas, and other communication
reception devices.
The above statement is the leading sentence of a memo sent to the Board of
Directors of my community's Home Owners Association.
I will try to convey the main points.
"Under the new rule, any association Covenant, rule, or similar restriction
which "impairs" the installation, maitenence or use of certain antenas is
UNENFORCEABLE."
Antennas protected include dishes up to one meter and any size antenna
designed to recieve television broadcast services.
The FCC rule allows communities to regulate antennas so long as the
restriction does not "impair" the installation, maitenence or use of the
antenna.
HOA's can regulate the placement of antennas so long as the reception would
not be compromised

Does anyone have, or know where I can get the CW Filter for the Kenwood TS
140 S. Does the YK-88-C that they are selling for the 450 et al still work
with the 140. At $159 MRSP does it pay to buy an external DSP box which
will give me notch filter etc?
Please reply to email.
Nick.

I am looking for a fairly heavy stainless steel spring to mount by
mobile antenna on. I used to have a military version for years but it
finally gave up the gost. Then I purchased one from Hustler "the
heavy duty type" I was told. The thing is puny to say the least.
When I have my 20 meter resonator on the mast it flops around like a
cows tail. If anyone has such for sale or knows where i can find such,
would you please drop me a line at garyh@ezonline.com
Thanks

I am looking for information on a memory upgrade or replacement that was
specifically designed for the ICOM IC-751 HF transceiver. I believe that
some small shop in the midwest (Chicago area?) had one for sale a few
years back. Are the units still made or otherwise available? Please
e-mail if you can help. Thanks.

I'm appealing to anyone out there who might have had the same, or
a similar problem. I have an ICOM IC-1271A 1.2GHz All-mode
transceiver (similar to the 271 and 471 series from the
mid-80's). It's been a good performer and I use it regularly on
1296 EME. But, it's developed a problem with its synthesizer.
It "wobbles" slightly, causing SSB/CW signals to sound real
watery. FM sounds ok. You can imagine what EME echoes sound
like- really bad! Anyway, I've looked at the reference
oscillator for the PLL and it's fine. They multiply the output
of the synth up to get to the LO frequency and it's here where
the wobble can be heard. I was told by a friend to replace the
caps in the VCO and reference oscillator, which I did, to no
avail. What's more interesting, the VCO is actually TWO VCO's,
split up to give full band coverage, and the lower freq VCO works
fine. The upper (from 1270-1300 MHz) is th bum one, but I don't
see any differences between them. Any ideas? Sending it back to
ICOM is the last resort, so please don't suggest that, yet.
Thanks in advance.

I have an Icom IC2ia HT that I would like to find out if
anyone knows how to activate MARS/CAP Xmit
operation. I know that the unit tunes these frequencies,
and also that if I hold the function button while pressing
the PTT, the unit transmits; somewhere. The only problem
is that sequence is also used to vary the output power,
so each transmission is at a different power out; if it is
actually transmitting......Clear as Mud, huh....Does
anyone know if this actually works or a more
"sanitary" way of doing so??

I suggest you look at the Yaesu FT-50R. I think it's a better rig than
either the W32A or the FT-51.

Just heard from Yaesu that the Yaesu FT-990 will be closed out soon.
It will be replaced with a new rig in the spring. If you check out the
Yaesu JAPAN WEB site you will see it missing.Also I saw that the FT-840
is not there either, but the FT-600 is replacing it as the low cost hf
no frills rig.

If you check out the ICOM JAPAN site you will see a couple of new rigs.
The ICOM 775 DX MARK II is advertised there. It is hard to make out all
the features since it is in JAPANESE. However it must be an improved
version of the ICOM 775! I heard that ICOM was considering coming out
with a ICOM 706 MARK II from an ICOM rep. I have no idea what
improvements it would have.

Heard from a source directly from ICOM that thyey are considering coming
out with an improved version of the Icom 706 called the ICOM 706 MARK II
I have no idea what the improvements will be.A guess would be 440 mhz
at 35 watts and 2 mtrs at 45 watts. That is what a Yaesu Rep told me
Yaesu is coming out with this JUNE 1997!

I saw on the web that Alinco has a rig similar to the DX-70 except it
has a few less knobs on the front panel. Since the site was in Japanese
I had trouble figuring out the features. It appears to be aimed more at
the commercial market and covers 1.8 thru 32 mhz. If anyone has any
additional info please post for all to see.

WAS considering getting a TENTEC AMP with the 811A in it called the
CENTAUR. I went to the TENTEC REFLECTOR site and saw lots of complants
about constant "ARCING" during tune up. Also gettin aloud thud during
"TURN ON". If this is happaning please get back to me so I also don't
make a mistake. I guess the alternative is to get either the AMERITRON
811A or 811B. My only concern is that Ameritron is ouned by "MFJ".
In the past I have had a lot of trouble with the poor quality-cheap
products of MFJ.I don't want a collins amp since I want 160 meters plus
the WARC bands.

Ray,
Check out your local friendly Radio Shack. I recently saw a couple
clocks in local stores that meet your general requirements, and the
prices didn't seem out of line. I have the MFJ clock you've been looking
for, and can verify that the quality is marginal. It looks neat,
but is a bear to set, and doesn't keep great time. Based on other RS
stuff I've owned, the RS clocks have *got* to be better than the MFJ.
Cheers,
Bob K9CMR

Well here is the list. Most of this equipment was hardly ever used. I am
getting out of many parts of ham radio concentrating on my UHF repeater and
links to it. I will pay for shipping. Can do COD or check in advice.
Please pass on this message to others that may be interested. If you are
on packet please post it on the local BBS. Trying to generate revenue.
Thank you for your time. People have asked if I was a smoker. No I nor
anybody
in my home smokes. The TS-690SAT is stock out of the factory with no extra
filters. If interested will discuss other offers. Need cash. I have
references to others
that I have sold via e-mail/UPS and they were very happy.

Joe,
The 570D is MUCH better than the 440 .. and, I'm told by a former owner,
much better than the 450 as well.
With DSP NR-2 switched in, the CW signals jump out at you, with no
noise. The bandwidth can be set down to 50 Hz; usually I tune at
400-600 Hz and reduce if needed.
Now I must add the caveat that I do a lot of CW operating with QRP kits
that I've built, with an outboard SCAF filter. So it may be argued that
I'm not the best judge of a good "contesting" radio.
Still, the 570D is the nicest radio I've laid my hands on.
There was a very extensive (and favorable) review of it posted in one of
the newgroups about two weeks ago. Alas, I think I saved in another
computer, or I would attach it now.

Looks like the VCO is FMing on you. Generally the trimmer caps must be
replaced. This 1271 is a finicky radio usually better to ship to ICOM or
Malcom Technical Support at 509-732-8883.

No key strokes, but diode removal. I do not remember which one needs to be
removed on the USA version. Also do be aware the CPU may not allow for a wide
r
receive than you already have. Several years ago ICOM started installing CPUs
in some versions that had the frequency range locked in the program code. The
european versions are that way. Can not say if the 32E is though. I do know
W2E needs to have both CPU s replaced for North American frequency coverage.

Ray,
Check out your local friendly Radio Shack. I recently saw a couple
clocks in local RS stores that meet your general requirements, and the
prices didn't seem out of line. I have the MFJ clock you've been looking
for, and can verify that the quality is marginal. It looks neat,
but is a bear to set, and doesn't keep great time. Based on other RS
stuff I've owned, the RS clocks have *got* to be better than the MFJ.
Cheers,
Bob K9CMR

Brian,
Use a MSTR EXEC II instead unless you plan to run LOW power on the MVP
(say 15 watts or less)....the MVP is not meant for high power 100% duty
on VHF...the UHF models are ok....but I would not subject a VHF model to
that...get a 40watt or 65 watt EXEC II or 100watt and set it to 40watts
max....(the others can also run at 40 because they have enough
heatsinking....the 100watt cannot run at 100 for long...at 40, they
last!)
You can find EXEC IIs in a lot of commercial trade mags for about 70-100
bucks....
I may have one I might be willing to part with....(I'll look and see; I
think its a mobile phone...RCC style....type EXEC II....already does full
duplex but needs a squelch circuit...which the MICOR chip does really
well!)

Try Kenwood.....they are not that expensive. By the time you talk some

Anyone have any plans to build a PA amp for a car to re-transmit audio
form a radio. I have an ICOM IC 901 and I'm in the process of putting
the main body in the trunk and the Control head, speaker and mic in
the front (without the fiber optic unit) and would like the option of
using an amp to power a speaker in the grill of the car so I can here
the audio outside the car during public service events.

I want to know if you can control input into the subband with CTCSS or
touch tones. Also, has anybody gotten rid of that anoyingly large
squelch tail? Bugs the heck out of repeater operators when I can't hit

The following is worth what you paid for it. I'm sure there are others who
can do a better job than I. Nevertheless, I can't resist, so here goes...
As I understand it, for a variety of reasons, the earlier a filter is in
the signal chain, the better. This is the basic argument for IF DSP over
AF DSP (and other signal processing, AGC, and so on). However, the current
state of the art in digital signal processing requires that it be done at
a relatively low frequency (below 100 kHz or so?). Image rejection
requirements mean that the first IF in an HF rig is at a much higher
frequency. Whether DSP is IF or AF, today it's still fairly late in the
signal chain. If you want immunity to strong nearby signals, you need to
filter them out as early as possible to get them out of the passband of
overloadable mixers and amplifiers. This calls for as narrow a filter as
possible as early as possible.
An AF DSP unit can indeed knock out interference from the signal in your
headphones, but it can't stop the receiver desensing, AGC pumping or
spurious signals that result when nearby strong signals are within the
passband. An IF DSP may help on AGC performance, and it may be great as
a replacement for passband or slope tuning, noise balnking and other
signal processing, but without a narrow filter in the first IF, good
dynamic range performance would seem to be hard to achieve. Never having
seen any of these new rigs, I can't say whether front end overload is a
problem in the TS-870D, but it sounds plausible.
By the way, many hams seem to concentrate on receiver sensitivity as the
measure of excellence, but it ain't necessarily so. Perhaps if you are
using a linear and a gain antenna in a quiet location, sensitivity is the
most important thing to look for -- I wouldn't know. With my compromise
antennas, I can copy lots of stations who appear to be unable to hear me
even in the absence of QRM, so I guess I've got all the sensitivity I can
handle. My main problem is other hams in the neighbourhood with similar
operating interests, so freedom from strong signal overload is far more
important to me, and DSP, IF or AF, is not that high on my priority list.
Your situation may be different.

Hello,
I'm using the TM741E for a couple of years now, and I still find it
a nice piece of equipment.
However, some weeks ago the display backlight began to react
quite funny: when I turn the power on, the display backlight
lighted up for a couple of minutes, and then ... gone, no
backlight anymore... The same phenomenon happened
always when bringing up power.
A week or so later: no backlight at all! It refused to light up, no
matter what I tried...
So, are there other guys out there who witnessed the same
thing? And (even more important), what did you do to repair
it?
Thanks in advance!

I'm going to put a VHF/UHF tranceiver in my Explorer. I like the
FT-8000R because it has such a wide receive. I also have a Yeasu
FT-2400H in my '87 Dodge D-50 and have been very happy with both the
radio and the truck. 8-) Another argument for the FT-8000R.
The C5900DA has a greater (wider) receive along with a greater (higher)
price. It's a triple bander with two frequency displays. This radio has
more features than the Yeasu but I don't have any experience with Standard.
Any one have opinions on either of these radios?

Help! I just received a 220MHz KDK4033 as a gift in need of repair, and
I need the manual and schematic (or perhaps some direction) to get it on
the air. The receiver is fine. The problem is the transmitter - the
frequency drifts a few seconds after you key it up, throwing it off
enough to make it worthless for simplex or repeater use (I may as well
use it for spread-spectrum - hi-hi). Could I just shotgun it replacing
the PLL crystal(s)? Any help here is appreciated. I'm trying to get the
radio up for use on the Condor net here in California.

I wonder if they figured out that a fixed PL that cannot be changed
might be a flaw?
Nice rig other wise.. A friend of mine has one but was stymied to find
that there was no way to change the PL without clipping out the 88.5
input at the PL dev pot and installing an after market board.
Sorry but for the price of the 990, THIS WOULD SUCK!

Mine works great. I use it at home (2 story house) and our 60 acre
property with base radios in dual band repeat mode. Eliminates running

Having recently discovered FM activity through sattelites, I'd like to try
my hand at getting through the FM repeater on the Mir space station.
Unfortunately, my UHF rig (a Kenwood TM-401B) only covers 440-450 MHz. Is
there a mod available to allow this rig to operate below 440 MHz?
BTW -- the Japanese TM-401 apparently oerated from 430-450 MHz, judging by
some of the Japanese WWW pages.
Thanks for any help

Try pressing the 3, B an # keys while turning on the radio. I can tell from
experience the W2E does not have the same CPUs as the W2A. This is done to
limit possiable frequency expansion as required by many european countries. S
o
the above may not work until you change out the CPus with the North American
CPUs.

Jerry,
Thanks for confirming my suspicion... I am looking at the extra smt
diode that I got from Icom when I did the mod to my IC2SAT back around '93
I believe. Well, got the parts, got the gear, just gotta get the location.
Thanks

Buy it! You might even try to talk them down a few bucks. Believe it
or not, I was able to find the same scanner for $100 also at a pawn
shop. I think they must have mistaken it for an older model since it
was a lower number than they were used to seeing. They don't make this
type of mistake often so if you're lucky enough to catch one, grab it!

This may sound silly, but I would just get a cheap CB rig (one of the
real small ones) and use that. You can pick these things up for $5-$10
at a lot of flea markets. Probably cheaper than buying the parts. And
you certainly don't have to ever turn on the 11-meter part.

I'll be darned, you're right. Mine doesn't either (serial 61090641). I
wonder if any of the freeband mods or battery savers affect this? Not a
really big problem though. Anyone else have eyes as sharp as Jerry?

Claude, I think Mike quite eloquently praises the things I like about
the FT-50R. It appears he intended to post these on the newsgroup too
so I'll forward them along.

I just sold my W32A to a friend for $200
and replaced it with the Yaesu FT50R.
The FT50R has a wideband rcvr 76Mhz - 999Mhz
It has a 45Mhz IF with fewer Images than the FT51R
or W32A..
If your into out of band tx capabilitiy , the
FT50R beats both, and the better sensitivity than
the FT51R or W32A for both VHF/UHF.
I like it so much that I have two FT-50R's,
also have a Kenwood TH79AD, but don't recommend
it if you into wide band listening(only 120-173MHZ
and (410-470MHz)
Hope you get the FT-50R!!
73
Mike

Hi John:
I have a Kenwood TS-870 and I like it. I have owned several
transceivers including a Kenwood TS-950 and my pick over all of them is
the 870. It is not a simple radio however. There is a menu system that
sets the radio up for use and that menu system has 68 items on it. It is
important that you clearly understand the meaning of each of the items
to make the radio behave as you want it to. It has one of the finest
receivers I have ever used and it has all of the DSP features built in.
There have been a number of posts in the swap group offering the 870 for
sale at what I believe to be very low prices. That might indicate some
unhappiness with the radio. I believe that is due to the complicated
set up that is required and the frustration with the radio over it.
Again, my opinion, I like mine and think it's a very nice radio.
Larry W9MDX

I tend to agree with Steve, N4LQ. I prefer a rig with crystal
filters and outboard DSP. I have owned a Kenwood TS870 and I am now
using a JST-245 with the NIR-12 audio DSP. Although, the ability to
vary the bandwidth digitally with the 870 was nice and really functioned
well, the noise reduction mode, auto notch and beat cancel didn't
perform as well as I thought they should, based on Kenwood ads.
Good luck!

My FT-8000R works perfectly at 9600 Bps with a Kantronics KPC-9612
without even touching the 9600Bps drive level in the KPC-9612.

I'll be darned, you're right. Mine doesn't either (serial 61090641). I
wonder if any of the freeband mods or battery savers affect this? Not a
really big problem though. Anyone else have eyes as sharp as Jerry?

KB0KUQ, Frank, of Morning Sun, Iowa would like to know if others are having
problems with the ICOM 2000 burning up L8 and D7, sometimes burning a hole
in the board.
I am not sure what the appropiate news group to post this to, but am
trying this one for now. He has two rigs with the problem and knows of
several others. Most are out of warranty and repairs are expensive. Anyone
else having a problem with this rig?
I am not familiar with the rig, just doing a fellow area ham a favor in
posting this.

The following procedure involves removing the
lithium battery which saves your memory channels.
Note any memory channels you wish to save -- you
will have to re-enter them. Also note the placement
of the battery before you remove it, since you don't
want to put it back in the wrong way.
Remove the 4 screws from the back of the radio and
separate the front and back pieces. Be careful not
to damage the flexible cable connecting the two.
Unsolder and remove the lithium battery, being careful
not to short-circuit it. Remove the surface mount
chip resistor RD77, at the fifth pin of the CPU chip,
counting up from the bottom. Two component pads
above it are already empty. To permit RX of cellular,
also remove the surface mount component depicted in
the diagram above, way in the upper right-hand corner.
Resolder the lithium battery back into place, noting
that the polarity is correct. Press the reset switch,
and reattach the two halves of the radio. Place the
batteries back in and power on.

Seperate radio halves, DO NOT desolder lithium battery, use wood carving

you can get up under the SM and pop off. Remove SM's and press reset
button, reattach two halves. Place batteries back in and power on.

I don't know if this will work on the IC-W32E, but on the US version turn
the power off, then press and hold the Squelch, Band, and Power buttons for
five seconds. The left receiver will have more bands providing coverage from
108 thru 999 MHz except for 200-300 and cellular.

HI MOREL
I HAVE TWO OF THE MFJ 989 C.
MY OTHER EQUIP INCLUDES A FULL POWER AMP.
WITH MY FIRST MFJ 989, I TOOK TOO LONG TUNING UP THE ANTENNA AND THE
AMP (400 WATT RANGE) ; THE COIL FORM OF THE MFJ 989C INSIDE THE INDUCTOR
MELTED DOWN. I'V NOTICED SINCE THAT MY OTHER MFJ 989C HAS EXCESSIVE HEAT
TO THE INDUCTOR FORM IF I TAKE TOO LONG TUNING UP. I SEE FROM THE LATEST
MFJ CATALOG THEY HAVE MFJ 989C WITH "AIR CORE INDUCTOR". THIS MAY HELP
FIX THE PROBLEM. ( I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY THEY DONT CALL IT A MFJ 989 "D".
GOOD LUCK TO YOU; BY THE WAY, CLEARLY THE NYE ANTENNA TUNER IS A MUCH
BETTER UNIT, BUT COSTS ABOUT ABOUT THREE TIMES AS MUCH.
I BELIEVE THE MFJ CONSTRUCTION ON THE MFJ 989 C IS OK, AND BETTER THAN
MOST OF THEIR STUFF; EVEN SO, I SEE SOME SHARP EDGES ON THE SHEET METAL
COVERS, ETC.
LET ME KNOW IF OTHER QUESTIONS, OR WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE BECOMES!

I bought the IC-W32A and two days later spent the extra $30 for the 51R.
I didn't like or feel that I needed two control knobs on the top of the
HT, and also felt that the software support for the 51R was better. I
haven't regretted my purchase and think that it is a fantiastic little
rig, I think that the audio is great and can't think of any features that
it is missing. My brother just bought a FT-50 and thinks that it is a
great little radio, but was disappointed when he found out that CTCSS
decode was an option.
I have only been a Ham for 1 year so I don't have any experience with the
older HTs and the frustrations associated with owning an older rig and
seeing all of the cool features come out on the new rigs along with the
high price tags. I bought my 51R-HP with the display mike, a Diamond mag
mount for the car, the car charger and a low power battery and paid about
$700. I just ordered a Kantronics TNC to try some packet, I just hope I
get the time to use it when it comes.
Good Luck with your decision.

Not too sure about the C but my 949B is a piece of junk.

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 !
Happy New Year 1997
All the best from Brian, 9H1JS, on the Island of Malta.

I have a Yaesu FT-530 which is having some problems with the tone
squelch. When I enable tone squelch on some freqs like 146.73 I get
either no opening although the tone is present or I get attenuated
audio. I'm told that someone has a web page dedicated to the FT-530 and
they have listed some adjustments that can be made to the tone squelch.
I haven't been able to located the web page and any hints would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How are you scanning 112 memories? Unless I'm just tired here, I remember
that my FT-50R only scans 100 memories.

Noted, I took your advice and went to my local pawn shop but the guy did
not have any scanners there. He said that the might have some next
week. I wonder how he knows that? If people come off the street, how
would he know if he's getting something in a week's time?

Can anyone give me any advice or direction on what to check in the
circuitry of my Uniden HR-2510 that would cause it to have "weak receive?"
I have the service manual and some ideas of what may be the problem, but I
do not have any test equipment to check it out. If there are any experts
out there on this problem please email me any advice or comments at
gstark@interserv.com. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Does anybody know if they are still making the files Newmods23.zip?? I
have 22 and I'm looking for a newer versian.
Also does anybody have any mods for the TH79-A specifically a wide band
receive? I hear a rumor of a keypad only mod for that, but haven't
found anything substantial.

Greetings all...
I need a couple large knobs, anywhere between 2 and 2.5 in. diameter. Must be
for 1/4" shaft and have a setscrew. Not picky about style. Would like two
matching knobs, tho. If anyone has a couple laying around they'd be willing to
part with, pls let me know. Or if anyone has a source for them, pls pass it
along. I've looked in all my catalogs and other on-line sources without any
luck. Lots of little ones but no big ones.
Actually, I'm trying to find the large knobs for a Johnson Matchbox tuner. I'd
REALLY like to find a couple for it but will settle for a pair of large
generic knobs.
Thanks, 73, & HNY... Mark AA7TA

I use the High Sierra. I have had great reports with it and would
recommend it to anyone. Although, if you want the ultimate mobile
antenna and don't mind getting out of the vehicle to change bands, then
go for the BugCatcher.
BTW, Check out my webpage, "N5RV's Mobile HF Home Page"

The biggest pro is you don't have to learn the code to operate it. The
cons is it range is very limited, seem to run FM only

I have a Yaesu FT-747GX, and sometimes in TX it will stop putting out

Other Yaesu owners have reported the same problem. Any suggestions?

Good grief, my terrier just did the same thing! I have only had the
radio for two weeks, and I absolutely love it.
I guess the FT50R gets high marks from dogs as well as people :)

Hi Jim,
The PK-900 does have a TAPR Modem Disconnect Header on the main board.
Look for it about a third of the way across from the left side and
near the middle of the PC board. That would be one way to add a 9600
bps modem. The 9600 board that AEA offered for the PK-900 is not too
complicated, but I can't remember if the manual included a schematic -
probably not. So - either wait to see who surfaces to continue
handling AEA's data products line, or add one of the several 9600 bps
modem kits that are available using the modem disconnect header.
As a 'supporting' note, when I was with AEA, I looked over the modem
disconnect header circuitry as closely as I could, and it seemed to
conform to the TAPR implementation. But that was done on a 'time
available' basis, between customer service phone calls, etc. I did
not have an opportunity to connect any of the common modems to the
connector to verify function.
Good luck in your quest, and 73
Bob, KD7NM

Hello, I am looking for a Collins 75A-4 receiver and a KWS-1 for my

Hi all,
I'm trying to hook a Yaesu FL2000B amplifier to my Knewood Ts
130. Unfortunately I have manuals for neither. Any help would be
appreciated. The amp has a 4 screw terminal strip in back (remember
those). 2 screws are gounds, one is ALC, and the last is Relay. I have
no idea of the pinouts of the TS 130.
Thanks

I have the Tucker T-3000 roller inductor high pwr hf tuner. I can't
complain works just fine. Construction is a nice piece of engineering.
I think it sells for a little bit more than the MFJ. I have run full

I have had a 706 for over a year and use it mobile and base on HF and
VHF. I have recieved many unsolicited favorable audio reports. The rig
does need the optioinal filters and I have found the NB more effective
when not using the rcv preamp.

I have the same birdie on my FT-50. Also, my manual reads as yours on
page 50, and the speaker icon only appears when the squelch overide is
pressed.
Serial no. is 6K112381 and I'm not using FTT-12 pad.

I have available four GE JAN-211 tubes in their original U.S. Army/Navy
cartons. I believe these tubes were used in WWII era transmitters. They
are about 7.5" long by 1.75" diameter with four pins set in a metal base.
If interested please send email to mszabo@cybergate.net. Thanks.

I just got two FT50R hand helds.
I noticed something unique in the
performance of the FT50R.
I use to have an Icom W32A and a
Kenwood TH79AD, when I put both the
W32A and TH79AD, on 2 meters, both
go crazy with noise generated from
the computer.
Now I have the FT5OR, I have no
computer interference in to the radio,
while it sits on top of the computer.
Anyone else notice this. I believe ,
since the FT50R has a 45Mhz IF that the
images are 90Mhz away.
Also, I noticed less frequency mixes
into the receiver which may explain why
its better.
I am not saying its intermod proof, a
highly radiated multi-repeater site
can drive most radio's crazy.
I am amazed that possibly that someone
did their homework on the spur analysis.
I heard one guy who had an FT50R with a
birdie spur at 146.75, I scanned both of
mine in that area, mine are SN# 6J series,
these was a post Yaesu had a fix, anyway,
it seems the the New FT50R's really perform
well.

I really like the Hyper scan rate
of the FT50, can scan all 112 memories
in less than a few seconds, even with
CTCSS, try that on a W32A or TH79AD,
its slow there.

A promising idea...but a visit to my local Radio Shack turned up
nothing that does 24-hour format. Ah well.

Anyone have any experience with either of these radios? I am
considering buying the C-228A (2M/1.25M). I have been told they are
excellent quality from retailers, but I would like some feedback from
actual users. They seem to be a bit pricey compared to ICOM/Yaesu, but
if they are durable/reliable, I am willing to spend the extra cash.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Bob,
I guess we both stand to be corrected, it is 110 memories,
not 112 which I claimed or 100 uou claimed. I use the AMDS1c
software and memories 1 to 100 plus Ux, Lx, (5 channels) for
a total of 110 can se t set for scanning. In the lower right
menu under each freq, use can assing it for scanning, or to
not to scan.
Now the Box says 112channels, but I can only scan 110channels,
I think that enough channels.
I bought two FT50R' so I guess I have 220 channels, as long
as I hold one in my right hand and the other the left hand.
Hum!! may have a difficult time to remember all those channels!!

I received the ADMS-1c software version 1.05 for christmas, and while
messing with it, I seemed to have gotton myself into EURO mode.
I have limited TX range (2M 144-146 mhz).
ADMS won't take my original template (does it think it's for a
different radio, say one sold in Europe?), but does take templates
saved AFTER my mishap.
Is there a way to get full TX capabilities (ala stock USA) back?
My radio has NOT had hardware mods and I do not wish to do them.
Thanks in advance.......

Make VERY sure that you have a good rf ground. I oned one of those and had the
very
same problems. This "feedbacl" is cased by poor microphone shielding and an nu
mber of
other facors including inadequate power line shielding. You can make a "quiet
ground" for
this unit by taking any length of rg-8/u cable (long enough to reach the groun
d stake from
your station) and solder a pair of .01 microfarad 1000vdc caps across it (one
at each
end). connect one end to the radio's ground lug, and the other to the ground s
take.
this should help. Also, make sure that your coax line (to the antenna) is prop
erly set up
(good connections on both ends, etc).

The dealer who says 'I might have some next week', is really saying 'I
don't have any scanners and I need to get some.' Pawn dealers often
buy/sell/trade among themselves to balance their inventories.

The way the Pawn business works is items are held as loan collateral for
a minimun of 3 months and if the loan is not repayed the collateral
becomes the property of the pawn shop to sell. So the pawn owner would
most likely know what is coming out of pawn each week..... Just FYI

Hi,
Recently bought a Argosy(non-digital) and it does not have QSK. It came
loaded with all the accessories and mods. At first I thought the 'relay'
accessory for using a linear was the culprit..so disconnected it. Nope.
Now I'm thinking its the mods that were done. Has anyone found that
doing the AGC mod disables QSK?? The reason I buy Tec-Tec is for QSK.
No-one comes close. Before I ship it to TT..maybe someone has the
answer?
Thanks for reading..
73 & Happy New Year!

I used my PK900 with the TAPR DSP93 for 1 year with no problems at all.
The header seems to confirm nicely.
I did toy with hooking up a MFJ 9600 bd modem (really nice, actually made
by PACCOMM to the G3RUH standard and licensed - the AEA is not I think-
about the best you can buy).
The problem is that the header is oriented opposite of the board so you
will need to make a ribbon connector to reverse it.
This combination would make a super setup - switchless between 9600 and
1200 - something others can't claim.
Another idea would be to call AEA or HRO - they may have it in stock at any
of their locations.
The AEA is cheaper abt $75 I think vs. $109 for the MFJ but the MFJ or
PACCOMM would give the best performance for sure.

Hi Jim,
The PK-900 does have a TAPR Modem Disconnect Header on the main board.
Look for it about a third of the way across from the left side and
near the middle of the PC board. That would be one way to add a 9600
bps modem. The 9600 board that AEA offered for the PK-900 is not too
complicated, but I can't remember if the manual included a schematic -
probably not. So - either wait to see who surfaces to continue
handling AEA's data products line, or add one of the several 9600 bps
modem kits that are available using the modem disconnect header.
As a 'supporting' note, when I was with AEA, I looked over the modem
disconnect header circuitry as closely as I could, and it seemed to
conform to the TAPR implementation. But that was done on a 'time
available' basis, between customer service phone calls, etc. I did
not have an opportunity to connect any of the common modems to the
connector to verify function.
Good luck in your quest, and 73

While perusing some "common failure" fixes suggested by the manufacturere for
a particular HF rig, I came across this paragraph, which was just too funny
for words. I hope you get a laugh out of it! It isn't a joke (it was in with a
bunch of other fixes...)
I guess it's a self-fixing problem!

I would like to hear from others that have the FT1000/FT1000D radios about
the sluggishness of the s-meter.
If possible, pls email data gathered from ur radio by use of the MARK
generator at a 10kHz increment; for example, what does the s-meter show
when tuned to 7100kHz with FRONT END at NOR and selected CW mode with 2.4K
BANDWIDTH for the main receiver. This data is for my comparison with
what I am getting here.
Is it normal to get an s5 reading from MARK gen signal at 7100kHz with NOR
es CW and 2.4K BANDWIDTH ???
Thanks and a Happy 1997 New Year to all.

Ray, look for one of the old Heathkit digital alarms with the 1" gas-discharge
tubes. They do 12/24 hours with a jumper setting. Mine's still ok after 20 yea
rs
or so. No you can't have it :) but they do show up at hamfests. It's got a
smoked plexi face and genuine simulated walnut (tm) trim.

Hi,
I've been using a PK-232 for a while now and I would like to upgrade to a
newer DSP based TNC. I'm mostly interested in HF weak signal work. I good
CW recovery is important. I was wondering what people here would
recommend. I like the spec of the SCS PT-II, but it is very expensive.
Too bad AEA is screwed up because the DSP-232 looks good.
Thanks,
Kory

I am cleaning out all my Yaesu operating and service manuals and may
have what you need. I have most of them from the FT101 to current
models. For the FT101 I also have a set of extender cards. Email me for
your needs and pricing as the list is long.

When you compare the SCS PTC-II to less expensive units, take a close
look at the hardware you are getting (processor and DSP chip
power/speed). I don't believe the DSP-232 has near the capability of the
PTC-II (even if AEA was still in business).

I had the MFJ -989C with the regular roller inductor. The unit is a
piece of "CRAP" . The roller inductor fell apart while tuning it. Also
the metering was way off "out of the box". The digital counter was
"junk"! I had a MFJ 949E 300 watt tuner that seemed Ok. DEFINETELY
GET THE TUCKER OR VECTRONICS TUNER!!! Also, the Roller inductor caught
on fire while running 1300 watts into a center fed zep on 80 meters.
Luckily I had a fire extinguisher handy!

Ray, I see that MFJ is advertising a new 12/24 hr digital clock, model
116. Unfortunately, it has a 5/8 inch LED display which may be too
small for you.

first of all check to make sure rf isnt getting the unit and locking

I was always told that radios ran on smoke, and that once you let the

How about the TAPR/AMSAT DSP93 kit? Looks like it's a neat system.

I have an IC-781 and Alpha-78 (with 10 meters, of course) that I will
probably be selling in Dayton this May. Both items are in excellent
condition, but I have no idea what they're worth - can anyone help?
Any responses should be sent to me via private mail as I live way out
in the country and am still on a 4-family party line, so it's not

Thanks in advance!

I am sorry I don't know what a 545B is, but I have repaired type D83 in
the past.
I advise the first thing you do is verify that all the power supply
voltages are correct, but take care as there will be some dangerously
high supply rails.
If all is well then you may proceed to diagnose the time base unit (I
assume that it will be a removable module). The time base unit may
have an indicator lamp (Neon) that will flash with each sweep, reduce
time base to a slow sweep and see if there is any indication.
To diagnose what is going on you could do with another scope, or may be
your scope has more than one time base unit and means another channel
could be used for that purpose.
If the time base is not running then check any additional supply
regulation that may exist with the time base unit. If you have the
service manual it will have many test points with voltages that should
be checked and may even have a diagnotic flow chart.
If the time base is running then you could assume a problem with the
drive to the X plates on the tube. Your scope may have an external Z
socket, intended to drive the X axes without the use of the time base
(You may need to select it). You could try feeding a suitable voltage
to it, to see if you get any deflection.
Have a general look around for any components that have got/damaged
broken/burnt out wires or PCB tracks, it is worth a try.
Difficult to comment any further without reference to service manual or
circuit diagrams.
I don't know if this was any use, but I tried.
If you need more help you could Email me.
Best of luck.

The freq is 443.850 which is my own repeater. Very Annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rigs for the JA market are often labeled with different nomenclature
from the non-JA (export) market. Icom is about the only one who uses a
different numbering scheme. Most others use a suffix to the model
number i.e. Sort of like Kenwood adding an A for America, E for Europe
etc. No difference usually, except the final PA in some cases due to
the licensing structure of JA ham tickets. I think I recall sending you
a note about that about a month or two ago.
For example, JA now has a 20watt, 50watt, 100watt, and 500watt station
license. Generally, the rigs are available either in the 20 watt, 50
watt, or 100watt variety.....the PA's are "modular" and can be upgraded
as the beginner upgrades his/her station license.
In the past (before last year) the licensing was 10 watt, 25watt 50watt,
100watt and 500watt. Most HF rigs came in 3 "JA MODELS", either a 10
watt, a 25 watt, or a 100 watt model. This is why there were several
supposedly "QRP Rigs" available with same features as full power rigs.
Kenwood was well know for doing this (TS-130S and TS-130V among others).
By the way....
For the real "scoop" on new products, you should consider
subscribing to several JA ham magazines. (CQ Ham Radio is one of the
best). I did when I was working/living in Japan and have continued to
receive the magazines for the past 5 years. I enjoy it immensely.
Usually, ads for the new rigs appear in the local magazines 2 to 3
months before hitting the pages of QST or the Web or the other
US/European ham magazines. Reading japanese helps, but, you can look at
the pictures
and specs and still get lots of information.
Have fun,
Joe

No...it is not an improved ICOM 775DSP. It is the same...just a
nomenclature change for the JA market. This rig is and has been
available in Japan since early 1995; I saw them in Akihabara all
the time.

Hello,
I recently purchased the ft8000r, performed the mars mod, and I am
wondering if anyone has been able to do a "FREEBAND" type of mod on this
unit. Wonder
what would happen if the software cable was pulled out during an
upload? A
scrambled microprocessor, or a european mod?
Anyone played yet???

Beware of the MFJ-114. I am about to return my 4th unit to MFJ. The
first two lost more than a minute a week. The third blew two LEDs and
the 4th just lost a LED. This is beginning to cost money in terms of
shipping the bad units back to MFJ. I will say this about MFJ, they
don't question me and the turnaround is QUICK. Once it was less than a
week.

The following procedure involves removing the
lithium battery which saves your memory channels.
Note any memory channels you wish to save -- you
will have to re-enter them. Also note the placement
of the battery before you remove it, since you don't
want to put it back in the wrong way.
Remove the 4 screws from the back of the radio and
separate the front and back pieces. Be careful not
to damage the flexible cable connecting the two.
Unsolder and remove the lithium battery, being careful
not to short-circuit it. Remove the surface mount
chip resistor RD77, at the fifth pin of the CPU chip,
counting up from the bottom. Two component pads
above it are already empty. To permit RX of cellular,
also remove the surface mount component depicted in
the diagram above, way in the upper right-hand corner.
Resolder the lithium battery back into place, noting
that the polarity is correct. Press the reset switch,
and reattach the two halves of the radio. Place the
batteries back in and power on.

Subject: Revision of modification to model C-508A
Seperate radio halves, DO NOT desolder lithium battery, use wood carving
razor to remove SM. Razor must be long, sharp and thin at which point
you can get up under the SM and pop off. Remove SM's and press reset
button, reattach two halves. Place batteries back in and power on.
Did this mod on my 508 and it worked fine. BE CAREFUL!!! Its smaaaaall in
there!

Check Radio Shack. They have a few clocks that will display 24hr format

Your collective wisdom please...I'm an avid dxer, especially in the jungle
which is 20 mtrs (yes believe it or not I actually enjoy working the
pileups on the rare ones), and have been running 500 watts output from a
great old amplifier (an Eldico 1000F). I've been debating over whether to
upgrade to an amp capable of 1.5 kw and I'm wondering if the 5 db gain I'd
get from tripling my power output would really justify the expense and the
potential havoc it might wreak in the neighborhood. The figures indicate
only 5 db gain (less than an S unit) but what is the real "operating"
effect from such a power increase?? I suspect that the real benefit will
be more than the figures might indicate. Any thoughts on this??
Please...only diehard HF dxers need respond...nobody else would
probably understand trying to squeeze blood from a stone! Thanks. de John,
K7JY, Seattle.

Hi All, ALWAYS, ALWAYS get a receipt with name of pawn shop, signature
of seller, model, serial number, and amount paid.
The pawn shop may have "loaned" on stolen items. If you are in
possession of stolen items the law is not never nice. I have purchased
items from pawn shops and have been offered low, low prices but no
paperwork. I always get the paperwork.
Happy Holidays, Lawrence

Hi all,
Is it possible to modify the Kenwood 850 so that the internal tuner
is also active on receive? I note that the 870 allows this but I've
never seen a mod to allow it on the 850.
Thanks & Happy New Year.

I just bought an Icom 706. I have seen the "yellow-wire" mod,
and I have also seen the removal of capacitors in the VHF high-band
filter to improve the receiver sensitivity in the VHF high-band,
outside of the 2 meter filter. Which mod works better to improve the
coverage between 148 and 170 mHz? I am not interested in transmit
capability in this range, but I would like to use the 706's
capabilities to receive some of the local government in my area.
Any information and experiences regarding modifications to the
706 that you can share will be greatly appreciated.
Please respond via e-mail (TVSJR@SPRYNET.COM), due to an increasing
load on the news server on my ISP.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello,
One week ago I posted a request asking for opinions on MFJ-989
antenna tuner. Until now I received 116 answers as follows:
* 92 of the answers were totally unfavorable
* 11 of the answers were quite neutral
* 9 answers compared the MFJ-989 with other similar tuners ,
8 of them clearly preffering the others brands.
* 4 answers were positive with no specific reasons.
The most frequent reasons for lack of satisfaction were:
* roller inductor quality ( 49 reporting melted elements )
* roller inductors turning mechanism failures ( 18 reports )
* roller inductor tuning bad feeling ( 15 reports )
* poor roller turns counter ( 21 reports )
* poor cabinet mechanics, assembly, finish and paint
( 21 reports )
* lack of enough coax positions on antenna switch
( 12 reports )
* bad performance on certain types of antennas ( whips, long
wires and zeppelins ) - 19 reports ; in 12 cases the tuner was
set-up on fire.
* poor operation manual ( 9 reports )
* poor design ( small cabinet size affecting the inductor Q ) -
3 reports
* poor performance on 160m short antennas ( !! ) - 4 reports
The most frequent reported reasons for buying the MFJ-989
were:
* low price ( 7 reports )
* high number of features vs. low price( 7 reports )
* relatively small size ( 5 reports )
* built-in dummy load ( 4 reports )
The other reports reffered to: Vectronics 1500, Nye Viking,
Ameritron 1500, Heathkit SA-2500, B&W, J.W.Millen and
Nevada. The most favorable opinions were on NYE-Viking
( 10 reports ).
I would like to thank to all who find time to answer .
Happy New Year,
Morel, 4X1AD

Ian,
You can do it one of two ways, buy a CHIPSWITCH replacement cpu or, replace th
e crystal in the radio...
I highly recommend the CHIPSWITCH cpu. It adds alot of capability to that lit
tle radio. the crystal swap works... but
the freq readout does not follow the actual freq and you'll lose some of the f
reqs you had to begin with.

A birdy is a thing that flies thru the air and makes a mess on your
patio.
A birdie is a signal generated by your radio that shows up as a
signal somewhere in the valid tuning range. A birdie makes a mess on
weak signals
on the same frequency.

Ron,
The 6293 is essentially a 6146 intended for "pulse-modulator" (i.e.
radar) service.
As per RCA in 4-63, Typical operation is:
DC Plate Supply Voltage 3000 Volts (!)
DC Grid-No.2 Supply Voltage 300 Volts
DC Grid-No.1 Supply Voltage -175 Volts
Peak Positive Grid-No.1 Voltage 65 Volts
Plate Current:
Peak 1.5 Amp (!)
Average 0.015 Amp
DC Grid-No.2 Current 0.004 Amp
DC Grid-No.1 Current 0.0025 Amp
Load Resistance, 100 watts 1500 Ohms
Naturally, these ratings apply to a very short duty cycle. Pin
connections, and filament voltage appear to be identical to a 6146.

Hi
Is it possible to use the IC-706 as a second receiver on another ICOM radio ?
In
other words to mimic the dual receiver function of the IC-781 :-)
If the '706 has a mute input it should be possible. I don't own one but is loo
king
at the possibilities to upgrade to IC-781 status :-)

Hi
I have been wondering what the principle is behind the circuit used in the Col
lins
30L-1 linear amp for the 'tune' position on the multimeter. It would seem that
it is
somekind of a bridge configuration measuring the voltage on the grid and catho
de ?
Could some Collins enthusiasts provide some insight please ? I would love to d
iscuss
mods/operation tips with other 30L-1 owners.

Usually, an item which has been abandoned will be "pulled" and offerred
for sale. The shop owner may "buy" an item from a customer and immediately
put it out for sale, but when it is pawned, it has to either be picked up
by
paying the amount back plus interest, or extending for another month by
just
paying the interest. Most shops will hold an item for 60 to 90 days after
the
last customer activity before "pulling" it and offering it for sale. Next
week
happens to be (a) the beginning of the month and (b) the beginning of a new
year. It will be a good time to see new inventory on the shelves. Keep in
mind, seldom does it all come out at once. Usually the past due pawn
tickets will be reviewd in order, and merchandise may trickle out over a
period
of time from the review. For this reason, a few trips may be in order to
view the
anticipated wares. Hope this sheds some light.

A birdy is belong in the order of strigiformes, which
evolved thru DNA hybridization back to the Cretaceous
Period, eighty million years ago. Some birdies were first
observed in the Quaternay Period along with the presence
of man.
As time progressed thru Tertiary Period, these birdies
were tytonids and strigids which expanded into Bubo, Otus,
Strix forms of this creature.
As man entered into the new age, late 19th century, past the Eocene
Epoch period, he noticed that evolution of these species took on a new
look. Instead of feathers, These creatures were were form thru
DNA chains into polycarbonate creatures with tails know as
ducks. We had these creatures with Big Ducks, little ducks,
etc. Funny how evolution did not give them feathers. But alas,
these wisdom creators had the MIL-SPEC-APPROVED to be as robust as the
fine feathered friends.
Man, in is infinite wisdom, was not perfect, and thru mutation
of this tribe of Ogygoptynx , found that the Local Oscillator
would harmonics or offset mixes would beat with other incoming signals
and provide a beat note, and products to fall within the desired
passband of this polycarbonate duck and become a birdie.
I hope this explains it all to you.

Yeah, I have the same problem with my IC-T7a. I can receive below 440, but
there's no way to transmit below 440Mhz. Arrgh.

Without getting too wordy, I have owned all three of these radio's
including a KW-870 and perfer the receiver on the 775 for pulling out weak
SSB signals during heavy
qrm but for beautiful pleasant sounding receive audio I would have to
choose
the JST-245. My radio of choice is the 775.

Yeah, AEA has closed their doors. The new MFJ-1278B w/DSP looks good.

A 'birdy' is a signal generated inside the rig. It can interfere with
the reception of actual transmissions on the same frequency. It will
make a rig stop scanning at that frequency.
Most radio equipment generates some birdies. You can find them by
radio-isolating the equipment (remove the antenna and put it in a
shielded room) then starting scanning.

If the antenna is removed the birdy is no longer there. Must be some
part of the digital electronics that is not shielded well.

I have a Yaesu FT-11R which has suddenly developed a DC power problem.
The E-DC-12 power adapter has stopped powering the radio. The battery
works and charges fine. The power adapter's fuse is okay and it has DC
at the terminals. I'm not sure what the voltage is supposed to be across
which terminals. Is there a power reset in the radio or does this seem
to be a malfunctioning adapter? I have previously had a problem after
removing a 9.6V battery while the radio was on and attached a 6V
battery. The radio would not power-up until the 9.6V battery was
re-attached. The radio then had to be turned off before removing the
9.6V battery. Then the 6V battery would power it up. Could this be a
related incident?
BTW, we had a flood in our house and the manual is buried in boxes
somewhere in storage, so I cannot refer to the documentation.
Thanks,
Todd

Happy Holidays,
I have a Kam Plus with G-tor in like new condition with very little
usage. I never used it to keep a packet station on line. Included are
the cables to hook up a Yaesu FT-530 and Yaesu FT890 and all manuals.
New at HRO=$299. I really need to get $200 plus $4 or $5 dollars for
U.P.S. ground.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Simple typo! Try:

If you still have trouble, I have the mod files I can attach and send
direct. The mods work great, allowing me, among other things,
communications with my local fire department (I'm a 23 yr veteran) and
expands the receive coverage through some of the "good" frequencies.

I have an FNB-42 battery and it is just like the FNB-41,
except it is about twice as thick as the FNB-41, no belt
clip, and if you get one, there is no case Yaesu has out
for it that has an external clip.
I will say, that it does last a long time, before
discharging, but I think having two FNB-41's and being
able to have a beltclip, and a protective case
warrants two of the 600mA batteries, as opposed to
the 1100mA battery.
I guess if you do a lot of transmittting , the
FNB-42 is ok. I found a leather case that holds
the FT50 with FNB-42(like the pouch product) in
a camera store, but I can not see the keyboard.
Usually I perfer having a fresh battery, along
one on the radio, and cycle between the two.
With an FNB42 and FNB41, you have to leave the
FNB-42 on a long time before it goes down.
You have to fully discharge these Ni-CADS so
you get a memory effect.
One Plus of the FNB-42, if you going out for
few days, use radio alot, the FNB-42 has less
trips to the battery charger.
If you get the FNB-42, be sure to get the quick
charger, it takes something like 24-28 hours to
rechage that big battery, were as it 12-15 with the
600mA battery.
I wish Yaesu came ou with a case with a belt clip
for the FNB42 to fit the FT50R.
Anyway, the FNB-42 does work for me, but I have to
put it in a pouch.

I am looking for bare bones, or better, shareware programs used by us to
tie our rigs to the PC. My shack will be automating an IC-R7000, IC-735,
IC-275H, and a IC-475H. If you have a program (BOTH binary and source
code) I would love to download it. Just let me know where to get it.
Anybody really close by, I'll buy lunch for the first few! I work near

I agree that Icom generally has the best receiver, and has for the last
ten years or so. The only thing that drove me nuts and eventually back
to Kenwood was the need for a preamplied mike in the Icom. It is really
difficult to get sufficient drive with a Heil mike, and I've had to
modify the Icoms, with varying degrees of success. If you are into
contesting or DXing and you really need to be LOUD, this is a factor.
I wonder if the IC-756 will have this same setup.

This is a repost, I hope it helps you out:
Talked to Yaesu tech support, and they confirmed that some FT-50R's have
birdy's anywhere from 146.73 - 146.76. They told me if I ship them the
unit (it's still under warranty), they will put a new board in it that's
hot off of the presses in Japan. This is suppose to fix the problem.
Unfortunately, they would not ship me the board so I could do the repair
myself (and save a few weeks of waiting). Hope this helps out any others
who have encountered this problem.
Thanks to all who responded!
P.S. Does anyone know what the CPU Clock shift function does????

Has anybody figured out a way to clear a single memory location in the
Yaesu FT-51R? You can make a location non-addressible, but how about
clearing it completely?
The ADMS software can do it by reloading the whole radio but this seems
a little heavyweight.
Yes, making the memory non-addressible has the same basic effect, but
this can be reversed. I'm looking for an outright zap.

Ben,
If you're in the market for a mil-spec radio, you can't go wrong with
Motorola. These are generally much more rugged than any ham HT.
There are many models to choose from. Most require programming at a
Motorola dealer, but the JT-1000 can be programmed in the field.

Hello group,
I would like to find a fairly heavy duty spring mobile mount to
replace the military unit that I had. I called hustler and asked for
their HD unit, but it is too weak to handle their own mast with a
heavy duty resonator on it, without having to guy the mast.
Someone had suggested to call Fair radio, which i did, but they had no
such thing. Someone lese suggested outbacker, but i could not find
their tlelphone number.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, 73 and happy new year to all

I had one. It has some nice features. Personally I believe that having
everything on one big board is a poor design for a receiver. Mine
had intermod/overload problems that one would not see, say, in the
older TS830, which has multiple boards (for different functions).

Long Delayed Echo mysteries...
Hi,
I'm doing some research for a documentary about anomalies. One of the
subjects I'm interested in is that of LDE's. I have done some reading on
the subject and noted a few experiments - however, I'm looking for new
information & experiences which may help to throw more light on the matter.
Of especial interest is the geographic "preferences" of LDEs. I noted for
example that some evidence pointed to LDEs being more prevalent in
the Polar regions. Do LDE's have any other preferences? Also, I'm
interested in the various characteristics of the LDEs. I noted some
saying that it tends to occur when "opening up" a frequency.
If you have had any experiences, or know of further literature or people
I can consult - I would very much appreciate it.
I have posted this in several newsgroups since I wasn't quite sure
which is the best place to go, so if this is out of place - I apologise.
If you can help in any way, kindly reply by e-mail. Thanks.
Cheers, Jan...

Hi Mike,
The TS-930 is a very fine rig considering its age. Most problems
associated with the TS-930 are related to soldering and corroded
connectors. The soldering tends to become dry and quite brittle under
the influence of age and heat leading to cracks. If these problems can
be located (not too difficult) and corrected, you'll probably have a
very fine and economical transceiver considering the present prices.
Regards,
Keith

Later 740 did not restrict 18 and 24 MHz transmit.
Has anyone identified a need to modify the rigs??

The MFJ 1278 w/DSP only has a DSP front end filter. All the decoding is
done the normal analog way. The MFJ may be a perfectly good unit for the
money - it's not, however, in the same class as the SCS or HAL units
that do the decoding with DSP.

Anyone know how to adjust the power on the 570. I would like to set
it to 5 watts for the 5 watt position instead of the 3 watts it is
now. Also, did I miss something, did Kenwood eliminate the ability
to set the dial revolution to 10/5 khz per revolution? I know there
is a "FINE" position, but I would like something in between the 10 khz
or 1 khz. I think the 850/450 radios would allow this. Thanks
