look in the manual under memory masking page 31. You "mask" the memory
without removing it. The procedure is hold the function key for .5 sec
while on that memory, then press mr. The display should change to ch-1.
For all purposes, the memory is erased. It can be restored if needed.

Yeah, probably everyone who has tried to use one at higher
power with an on-radio whip better than the supplied rubber
dummy load has seen this. The solution is to not try to run
high power unless you use an external antenna. As you
guessed, the problem is RF getting back into the radio
and unlocking the PLL.

If you just *insist* on doing this, adding a counterpoise wire
(aka a Tiger Tail) may eliminate the problem. Just connect
a 19 inch wire to the BNC connector shell and let it dangle.
This will also often improve your range, so it is worth trying.

Transverters can be a good thing if you are interested in SSB/CW simplex
operation on VHF/UHF. But most HF rigs don't deal with repeaters well,
and the bulk of VHF/UHF operation is via FM repeaters. And there are
FM only radios which are almost as cheap as a good transverter (in some
cases cheaper), so that often makes more sense than struggling to use a
HF rig and transverter for operation for which they aren't suited.

However, let me encourage you to resist the temptation to buy a HT. They
are specialized tools for foot mobile operation. Most will overload badly if
connected to a good antenna, and most run too low power to be comfortable
copy for other stations. Buy a mobile/base radio instead. Used ones can
be had cheap.

April 30, 1997

Dear HAM,

In May we (FCB) will come with a new logbook programm for
IBM compatible computers. It's a programm with for example:

* Regio number for Dutch cities in it, together with QTH locator
(new) and distance/angle to your station. (Almost) all Dutch
towns in it.
* Complete QSL registration. It sends for every band a QSL till
the other radiostation confirmed the band.
* See (for every band) if you have worked the radiostation in the
past and if the QSO is already confirmed.
* Holds name, place, info about transceiver, antenna, distance,
angle, locator, etc. of the other radiostation
This info is available during your QSO
* Have a look. during the QSO, to other QSO's you've made
with this radiostation in the past
(You can scroll without leaving the present QSO)
* Have your logbook on the computer screen or print it.
* Many other things

For having satisfied customers, we'll only distribute a demo
version of the programm. You can use this for 100 (one
hundred) QSO's. (After registration - for a low fee you can
still use this first 100 QSO's)

The Dutch version will leave us in the beginning of May, the
English version in the end of May. (Please let us know if you
want to have other languages like French, German of Spanish)

You're also free to give a demo version to your (HAM)friends.
With your (demo) programm you can make a demo on diskette.

If you're interested, please do e-mail me at:

Yes, I bought a SW-77 that I hoped to use for recording programs with
its excellent timers, but quite often would have the same behaviour,
making it useless for unattended recording. I ended up returning the
radio, so I don't know if it is repairable at all. The shop I bought
it from tested it, and of course, it didn't do it for them, so they
didn't believe me, but I did return it within their time period. This
was a shop in Dallas, TX, so I bet it didn't end up in your hands!

Other than that, it was a great radio.

good luck,

Jeff, KC1MK

Hi Jeff,

Common problem, the Radio Shack does not like the hight voltage. There is a
regulation for the top 12 volt input but the bottom has little to nothing, you
can build a better regulation circut into the bottom. I did on one, but for
the gain of the larger battery it was not worth the effort. There was no real
output gain at all. Be carefull I have heard of three people having this
problem with the 202's when using the 12 volt cig. plug in Chrysler products,
the chrysler regulators are rather slow in the older models and peak has high
as 22 volts at times which will also trip the error 2.

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone.
With my recent retirement, getting back to
on the air more often now. I am in need of a
new HF base rig. Am looking at used Ten Tec
Omni V, Paragon and Icom IC-765. Just can't
make up my mind to pick one. Please help
me decide by responding privately. Or should
I plunge and buy a brand new radio such as
Yaesu FT-920 which is coming soon? My goal is
value for the money. Brand name or New don't
mean much to me. BTW, my main interest is CW DXing.

I saw pricing at several Dealer Web sites to be $1350
Assume the price will drop $100 within the next year plus Icom may give
the Separation kit etc. for free to keep the product moving. The first
Hams who "HAVE TO BE FIRST" usually pay thru the nose and are the ones
with the "bugs" in the radios.

Not ham radio, but the FCC.

I've got a Yaesu radio and it works good without mods. Do you have poor
audio? Are there spurious emissions? Maybe you want to disable the TTP
until you use the PTT switch. If I'm not careful when I grab the
microphone, it sends a tone or two. Best of luck improving your radio
with mods, Brian.

Bill, be *real* careful using ALC for power control. The power will spike up to
full output momentarily until the ALC can grab it. This will happen at the start
of every syllable in SSB. That could fry your transverter, or at least generate
some real nasty spurious products. The better course is to tap the radio at
an earlier stage to get the low drive power you need. You can disable drive
to the PA by either pulling drive or cutting B+ to the PA.

From: "Jim Gerke" <jge...@why.net>
Subject: Yaesu Ft-530 Mods.

BE CAREFUL with mods for the FT-530!

According to mod info I got from Yaesu last year, there are THREE DIFFERENT
mods for the 530. Each is applicable to a different group of serial
numbers.

Mod 1 is for S/N's xx14xxxx thru xx23xxxx
Expanded RX -- 110 - 180, 300 - 500
Expanded TX -- 130 - 180, 400 - 471

Consists of removing the solder from pad 13

Mod 2 is for S/N's xx24xxxx thru xx30xxxx
Expanded RX -- same as Mod 1
Expanded TX -- same as Mod 1

Consists of cutting the green wire which jumpers pad 13

Mod 3 is for S/N's xx33xxxx thru xx43xxxx
Expanded RX -- 110 - 177, 300 - 510
Expanded TX -- 130 - 177, 400 - 470

Consists of:
Removing solder from pads 1 & 3
Cutting green wire which jumpers pad 13
Jumper (add solder) to pads 4 & 5
(jumpers 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, & 15 are
now installed)

All three mods require you to press and hold both arrow keys while turning
on the radio.

These were taken from "The Yaesu Book", Number 4, (a booklet containing
nothing but mods for Yaesu radios) dated May, 1996, which I obtained from
Yaesu at a major hamfest in mid-1996.

Although these mods may also allow you to tune the 800 MHz range, later
versions of the 530 did not have the RF components necessary to receive 800
installed in them. Even though 800 might show up on your dial, these later
radios cannot actually receive up there. And besides, you're not supposed
to do that anyway.

Have fun.

73, Jim, KC5OA

Subject: BEWARE OF DEALINGS WITH Mark S. Conway

This is just a warning for anyone who might enter into a deal with
"Mark S. Conway" <mco...@Nantucket.Net>. I am only representing
myself as I have no other data points.

Last week, Mark posted a Kenwood TH-79AD(H) for sale which I responded
to and agreed to purchase. Yesterday, I sent Mark an email asking him
to let me know the UPS tracking number so that I could have the money
ready when the package arrived (see, the deal he posted included
shipping, but I asked if he would ship COD and he agreed.) Its a good
thing I didn't go out and get a money order or send him a check!!

So, he replied later last night with the following:

Depends on whether you are using it for VHF or HF. My experiences are
with an ASTRON 20 amp supply for all the 2M junk, Then I got an Alinco
DM-1350 for the HF stuff (35 AMP). Both are good supplies in my opinion,
the Alinco can have voltage jumps when adjusting the volts with no load
on it though. Just make sure you get one with enough amps for your
equipment, if just a vhf radio 10-15 amps is fine, for HF use 30 + amp
rated supply.

I totally disagree. although complaining to the FCC will not usually
generate an investigation, Ham radio operators are usually their own best
policeing.
This happened in our area, a couple went to radio shack and purchased 2
meter handhelds, and started using the repeaters. They were unable to come
up with callsigns, and an old fashioned 'foxhunt' found the culprits, who
were informed, by personal appearance at their door, that they would no
longer be allowed to use the system.

>>and nobody will do anything.

Partially true, the couple above moved to simplex frequency, where they
still operate today, but no interference on the repeaters, so no one
bothers. (Hey with the small wattage output, and on simplex, who would
they bother). BUT no one else communicates with them (licensed), so it
becomes a REAL expensive CB.

Subject: Mod for FT-1000MP power control with 3CX800 amps

Few days ago, I asked for modification of the Yaesu FT-1000MP
RF output control. As known, the first series don't have continous
power control output and this can be sometimes a problem when
driving modern 3CX800 amps ( like Alpha 87A, 89, Command
HF-2500, HF-1250, Ameritron AL-800H and so on ) at desired
specific output levels without overloading the small dissipation grid.

First of all, many thanks for the 40+ answers.

Second, for those who asked from me to send them too the answers:
the solution is to cut a PCB trace and add a jumper. All the details
can be found on files archive at http://www.contesting.com/_yaesu.
This mod come with a note that the change is made at tcvr owner
sole responsability. Anyway for those having rig still in warranty
period, is strongly recommended to send them to Yaesu.

Hello everybody,
is someone so kind to explain exactly the difference
between the first part of TR7 production and late units, and about the
starting
serial number of "late" ones ?
TR7 vs TR7A and R7 vs R7A : what real differences ?

Some colleague seems to prefer late TR7s (not "A") because "less noisy",
several other people tells that "TR7A is a remarkable improvement", but I
would like to know exactly about specs and mods.

Thank you very much in advance, and best wishes !

Physically in good shape, very little wear on the front panel.
Electrically, it's basically functional (I made a contact on it).

which I removed, leaving an empty hole, but that was all I found).

Original manual, power supply cable, and a non-matching mic included.

This rig WILL require some work, but it is basically functional.
Consider it to be a "project radio". It is NOT for the beginner!

Requires one of these Heathkit power supplies (NOT included!):
PS-10, PS-20, HP-13, HP-23, HP-23A, HP-23B

Or build your own, with these requirements:
+800 vdc @ 250 mA

Subject: Illeagal Transmission

Same type of thing happened to me a few years back. I was monitoring on
scan on my two meter base and it stopped on 52 simplex. I stopped the
scan and listened but no one ever gave their call sign. Now this has
happened before but this time I heard it so I got in to my car and
monitored from there,
I drove near the highway and as the sigs became louder I disconnected
the antenna and spotted them driving by. I followed them for a bit and
could see that they had dealed plates on the cars and it seems they were
transporting cars aross some distance. I still monitored them and not
once did they give their call signs and ignored my asking of them who
they were.
This does happen from time to time but what to do???

Subject: Old Hartman Transceiver info needed.

I would like to know about a Hartman Marine Model 3059 tube
Radio Telephone transceiver. It looks very old but don't have
any dates in mind. Looks old and I was told very rare.

The radio is very strange in that not only is it a 4 channel
marine transceiver but receives the AM broadcast band from
550 kHz to 1600 kHz. It also has two strange triangle marks
on the AM dial.

Can someone fill me in on this radio and or the Hartman Company.

Radio looks like a table top radio with four feet on the bottom,
this is not a rackmounted type radio.

That's different. That is DTMF signaling. CTCSS is use of a continous
subaudible tone to open the squelch of the intended receiver.

Since I had a hard time finding any substantiation of this from the FCC's
website I wrote to the folks at Premier and asked them to confirm this.
Here's their reply, which should quiet the rumors for a few minutes, I hope:

There is absolutely no truth to the claim that the FCC has taken any legal
action against either PREMIER Communications or ADI. The U.S. version of
the AT-600 is perfectly legal in this country. Neither the receiver type
acceptance nor the importing certificate for the radio have been pulled by
the FCC. The AT-600 continues to be imported.

This confusion began last month when we began to enounter some CPU trouble
with some of the AT-600s we had shipped (one of the batches of CPUs the
factory had bought was found to be defective). We asked our dealers to
perform a limited recall of the radio so we could check each for one of the
defective CPUs.

Our limited recall closely followed the removal of the HTX-204 by Radio
Shack, but the two events are, to my knowledge, completely unrelated. One
of the AES salesmen has been telling customers that the radios lost their
type acceptance, but this is untrue. I was at the AES SuperFest show over
the weekend, and I encountered that same salesman then. I spoke to the
management of AES (who never told their salespeople that the recall was
because of FCC legal problems) and the problem has been corrected. No one
there will be spreading that disinformation again.

You are quite correct, Tom. The Internet is a good tool for disseminating
information quickly, but is also a great way for rumors, misinformation, and
lies to spread rapidly. As always, the information is only as good as its
source.

By the way, below is some information on the AT-600 / HTX-204 straight from
the PREMIER Communications FAQ that is on our webpage. This is the
company's official stand on the situation.

* * *

Q: Didn't you make the HTX-204 for Radio Shack?
A: ADI Communications Corporation manufactured the HTX-204 handheld for
Radio Shack. However, PREMIER Communications has nothing to do with this
arrangement. Both PREMIER and Radio Shack bought their radios from the same
factory, nothing more. PREMIER does not offer any technical support for the
HTX-204.

Q: What's the difference between the AT-600 and the HTX-204?
A: The two radios are indeed very similar. However, the AT-600 has a number
of features that the Radio Shack does not, including wired cloning, PC
programmable, auto power on, programmable VFO range, battery voltage
indicator, DTMF decode, and 200 memories in non-alphanumeric mode (as
opposed to 120 for the Radio Shack version).

Q: Are accessories for the AT-600 compatible with the HTX-204?
A: Generally, yes. The radios both use the same batteries and chargers, and
the same microphone and speaker wiring schemes. Since both radios are
physically similar they also can use the same protective leather cases.

Q: Why did Radio Shack recall the HTX-204 and how does the recall affect the
availability of the AT-600?
A: PREMIER Communications has no knowledge of why Radio Shack recalled the
HTX-204. Officially, they claimed that they were "concerned that the radio
could be used for illegal purposes." What their exact concerns were is
anyone's guess.
Some of the initial AT-600s did have some minor CPU problems. It is
possible that Radio Shack recalled the HTX-204 because of some related
problems, but it seems unlikely. The recall does not affect future shipments
of the AT-600. There have been some minor delays on ADI's production line,
but production is proceeding at full speed.
It is not known whether Radio Shack will be reintroducing the HTX-204.

Please REMOVE nospam when replying!

I see that you can very easily adjust the output power on the TS-850s.
Judging by the transistor types used, it seems to me that it would be
safe to set it for 150 watts output (using a heftier power supply than
the standard one, of course).

The question is: is this likely to damage anything, shorten the life of
the final transistors, etc.? The 850 is used mostly for CW (and yes, I
know it's just 1.7db).

As I recall from talking to my Aviation Repairman about the radios in my
airplane, your statements are misleading. First, the regulation is from
the FAA, not the FCC. Secondly, the regulation specifies frequency
tolerance. While all of the radios with twice the number of channels
meet the regulation, many of the older radios do not. It happens that
the 300 series radios in my 1977 Cessna both meet the regulation; one is
a 720 channel and the other is a 360 channel. Whether a radio meets the
regulation depends on the particular model in a series and not how many
channels it receives.

Dave

Subject: IC-706 Mark II upgrade

It would seem that some sort of upgrade path would be logical for the
IC-706 and for many other HF transceivers on todays market. In the case
of the IC-706 however several boards would need changing. The PA, LPF,
RF BPF, Control and display units to name a few.

It is unfortunate that the dwindling HF market could only sustain the
original IC706 for a little over a year. A far cry from TS-520 and
FT-101 days which carried for almost a decade.

I've suggested for a long time that manufactures should try improving
upon good designs by releasing improved models with noticable changes
and enhancements rather than complete new designs. The catch-22 is that
with advancing technology it is more often cheaper to engineer a radio
with new devices than to re-engineer a radio with no longer available
components. Our equipment market is driven by consumer products which
are here today gone tomorrow.

Subject: Misc for sale

I have some radio gear that comes from a relative who was an Advanced and
is now an SK. Much of it is pretty old. I'm interested in getting rid of
it now, but have no idea how much it's worth. If anyone wants to buy any
(or all) of this stuff, I'd appreciate it if you could send me an e-mail
at vidg...@netcom.com (unless someone has a better idea), and I'll take
the best offer; e-mail for more information and I'll do what I can. I'm in
the San Francisco area, so please take into account that I'll add shipping
to your location to your bid. Oh, this gear is in very good shape
physically, though I don't know how well it works electronically. Judging
by the meticulous habits of the owner, I'm sure it's fine. Obviously, if
you're also in the SF area and can pick it up, shipping won't be a problem
*and* you can eyeball the units yourself--especially the unidentified
pieces (and there are some assorted pieces not on the list below).
Thanks...

As well, I've encountered this, too. I do a lot of driving between

mountains. And they are cluelessly chattering away on 146.52.

From: "Robert (Bob) Diaz" <cqb...@pacbell.net>
Subject: Alinco DJ-S41T, 70cm HT, my first reactions.

After reading all the past postings for the Alinco DJ-S41 HT, I saw that almost
everyone was happy with their unit. The small size, light weight, and low cost
were exactly what I was looking for. I hope that my sons will get their Ham
License soon. If so, this is the radio I'm going to purchase for them.

Well, 2 days ago I went to the local Ham Radio Outlet and purchased a unit for
me.
The current price on this unit from HRO is $120. I assume that other stores
will/are
offer the unit at around the same price.

While I've only had the unit for just 2 days, I though I'd share my first
thoughts
about starting to use the unit.

With the 3 AA batteries, the DJ-S41T puts out about 1/3 of a watt of power.
Before
I started uning the unit, I worried that this won't be enough power. I'm happy
to
say that for my needs, 1/3 of a watt IS enough. I can hit a repeater up on the
hill
that's over 5 miles away. According to the signal reports, my signal is coming
in
100% clean. I havn't had a chance to see how far I can go with it, but I'll try
it
out latter on. Today I did "hit" the same repeater from work. No one came
back,
so I can't say how good/bad my signal was; however the signal had to travel over

20 miles to trigger the repeater. Not bad for just 1/3 of a watt.

The audio output from the unit is VERY good. In general, small speakers don't
produce a good sound, but this unit seems to be the exception to the rule.

The 1 page instruction manual is a bit thin <humor intended, but it's true>.
That would be my main gripe, but Bill Ricker, N1VUX has written a better manual
and posted it on the WEB. Here's the addres to this page:

http://world.std.com/~wdr/alinco.html

I live in the L.A. area where there's a lot of RF out there. My Radio Shack
HTX-202
(2 M HT) ignores all the intermod noise; the Alinco DJ-S41T does not. This
might have
been a problem, except that I discovered that when I fold down the antenna, the
sensitivity of the receiver is reduced. Thus, when the antenna is down, I don't
have
a problem with intermod noise. Yet the repeater's siganl is strong enough for
me to
pick it up.

I still have a lot of things to try with this unit, but so far, it's looking
very
good. Keep in mind that this is a unit that sells for $120, don't expect lots
of
features, like DTMF or PL for receive. If you're looking for a basic unit at a
very
low price, I give the Alinco DJ-S41T a thumbs up.

If you'd rather use 2M, ALinco has a unit, the DJ-S21T that sells for $120 at
HRO.
I saw the unit at the store. While I didn't try the 2M unit, it appears to be
about
the same as far as power, size and features as the DJ-S41T.

I have an Astron RS-20M power supply that is only 18 months old. I
noticed recently that the light inside the on/off switch is flickering and

sometimes has a hum to it. Is there anything I can do to "rectify" this

This thing is just too heavy to send back to get repaired, and I'd like to
do the repair myself if anyone else has any thoughts or suggestions.
Perhaps this problem has already occurred to someone else?

-The hum is a different matter. It may be real AC hum, or it may only
-*sound* like AC hum while really being RF getting back into the supply
-and upsetting the regulator. The latter is more likely the case.

Make sure your radio is not sitting on top of the supply (or directly to
the left). I've seen many cases of coupling between the power transformer
in the supply and something in the radio causing hum.

I have replaced the Lithium battery in a friend's HTX-202. You may be
able to find a similar battery with radial leads somewhere and just solder
it in. What I did was buy a lithium battery holder from RS and slip in an
ordinary CR2032 lithium cell (about $2 at Walmart). I stuck it on the PC
board with double-face foam tape, soldered the leads to the wires, and
applied some electrical tape to the top of the assembly should it ever
come loose.

(My first attempt was to solder >directly< to the lithuim cell, as I've
done with NiCads-- >>> DO NOT TRY THIS!!! <<<
The cell exploded, of course! Fourtunately I wear glasses.)

Subject: Lithium & NiCd battery replacement caution

Batteries, in general, DO NOT like being soldered to.

"So how do they get those little solder tabs on 'em?"

Any good battery pack fabrication shop will have an
arc welder. It runs a high current through a piece of
metal, such as the terminal of your battery.

If another piece of metal is placed on top before
current is applied, POOF, they melt together and
you get a solder tab.

Battery fabrication places will generally add solder
tabs for 25-50 cents apiece. And they sell Lithium
batteries for HALF what Radio Shack sells them for.

Subject: Motorola Saber Custom Case

I'm looking for a case for my Motorola Saber HT that covers the entire radio.
I'm thinking about a custom case constructed out of padded cordura or maybe
leather with a clear plastic window for the display, and a grill for the
speaker, and maybe some openings for the PTT, etc... The top can be open
for access to the controls.

I plan to use the radio with the speaker mic if I'm carrying it, so a basic
rectangular case is an acceptable, though less desirable option.

Does anyone know of a company that sells such a case or will custom make
something? I know Motorola has a case, but that only covers the bottom half
of the radio.

Subject: Yaesu FT-920 Info

Just got some more info on the Yaesu FT-920 HF-6 meter radio.
The radio is double conversion except FM which is triple.
The if stages are 70 MHZ and 8.8 MHZ.
You have to pay extra for FM I assume It costs the same as the FT-840
option $62.
You also have to pay extra for a AM filter $120. If it is the same as
the
one for the Yaesu Ft-840.
You can also ad a cw filter in addition the AM filter. There is no SSB
narrow filter available. I guess Yaesu feels you should use the DSP for
that.
The radio features "DUAL frequency watch". This feature is Not the same
as DUAL RECEIVE. Dual Watch means the radio will go check on a second
frequency every "so many seconds". You can't listen to two stations at
once.
The radio is more similar to the Kenwood TS-570S than the ICOM 756.
That is my two cents worth, Steven Hershman NS1R

Subject: Help! FT990 20mt transmission problem.

Help
I have a Yaesu FT990 that has a problem on only 20 mt.
It tunes and transmits perfect into a dummy load. But on two
different types of antena it gets very finicky as to how the
radio will operate. Somtimes the tunner tunes it fine ( 100w ),
Other times it cuts back to ( 50 - 60w ), And other time it shuts
the rig down. There have been no antenna changes, it just does not
like 20mt unless everything is perfect. All the other band tune & work
great. Has anyone else experienced this symptom on thier FT990
or know what this problem is and how to corect it?
I have checked the antenna & transmission lines and everything
is OK.

Subject: Adjusting Mic Gain for SSB on a Kenwood TS-430S

I am realatively new to working any HF (I just passed my 5 WPM 2 weeks
ago) and am trying to learn how to work 10 M SSB. I am pretty sure my SWR
is ok (don't have a meter or tuner yet. I am waiting until next week and
am going to pick one up at Dayton Hamvention). My question is that I need
to adjust my mic gain so that I can lower the power out to about 200 Watts
PEP. According to the rig's manual, you do this with the mic gain. I
know this is really hard to do with out a power meter, but even if I can
get it close (say 190 or heck even less), that would work for now. Also,
does the Carrier Knob do anything on SSB?

From: "Matthew A. Erickson" <kk...@io.com>

Subject: ALPHA 76

The ETO ALPHA 76A(pa) is quite likely the best amatuer HF amplifier ever made.(In my oppinion)

Reasons why;

(1) Simple, yet very effective design.
(2)Easy to maintain. (clean once a year, lube fan bearing once a year)
(3)Very effiecent, 70% typical, which means more of the power goes out the antenna, than out in the shack, as heat.
(4)Quiet, cool opeartion, even at full power, for long periods.
(5)The best ALC feedback system on the market, (you set it for max power, and forget it), the amp will never exceed that level you set, no matter what the drive is set at. (You must actually connect the ALC to the exciter for this to work)
(6)Desk top convinience, no bulking outborad power supplies to take up space, yet the amp delivers full legal limit power out.
(7)Easy to tune, set it up by number, never need to tune on the air again, after making up a "cheat chart".
(8)Little to no "parasitic" trouble, NEVER USE THIS AMP ON 12 METERS, without first modifing the Plate choke, or you will burn it up, (unmodified plate choke is resonante on 25 mhz). My 76 has never "spit" or "sputtered", on any band.
(9)Inrush current protection is standard, (long before most other manufacturers every put it in their amp).
(10)Grid & plate over current protection standard, (nearly "foolproof").
(11)Warm-up lock-out, you can't hurt the tubes while they warm-up, because you can't key the amp, till the warm-up period is comlpete.
(12)Many of these amps that are "old"(15+yrs), are still on the air, & still putting out full power, with the original tubes in them. My 76 has the original tubes in it and has been putting out full legal limit ++, since 1982.

These amps, give the owner the most "bang" for his buck, even an older ALPHA, can out perform most "NEW" amps.
This is my opinion, you may or may not share it.
No, I am not connectted to ETO in anyway, I just really like the ALPHA.

From: Neil Heckt <ne...@aade.com>
Subject: earn FREE digital display

Many customers have requested a version of my Digital Frequency Display
(see May QST or web site below) for use to upgrade older equipment with
analog dials to digital dials.

The type of equipment which would use this consist of a crystal
controlled band switched converter (first LO) in front of a tunable IF.

Noteable examples (which I already know how to do) are the Collins
S line, the FT101 and TS-520.

I have developed a version that can measure up to three frequencies
and compute and display the RF frequency. The maximum limit on
any of the three frequencies is 50MHz.

The unit measures the crystal frequency, the tunable VFO frequency and,
optionally, the BFO frequency. IT then computes the RF frequency.
If the BFO frequency is available it will compute the actual carrier
frequency of SSB signals or the zero beat carrier frequency of CW
signals. As a function of the BFO frequency it will display the mode
USB/LSB/CW or AM.

What I need is people with older equipment that falls into the above
catagory who are willing to supply some initial information necessary
to design the electrical interface and then engineer the modifications
necessary to the unit to bring out the signals.

The initial information consists of:
1) the schematic and hopefully block diagram of their unit
2) the p-p voltage levels of the crystal, VFO and BFO signals
3) the main IF frequency
4) the frequencies of the crystals, VFO and BFO.

Togather we would plan and execute the modifications necessary to
bring out the signals to connectors. For example the FT101 signals
are tapped at PCB connectors and routed to spare pins on the auxillary
socket on the rear of the unit thru RG174 cable. The Collins S line
has these signals on the rear panel at RCA jacks.

If possible, power between 8 and 18volts at 20ma. or less should
also be brought out of the unit. In some cases it may be possible
to bring out a filament AC voltage which I can rectify.

You would then have to write the modification instructions and if
possible photograph them. I can use photographic prints or video
tape from your camcorder. (I have a flat bed scanner and a snappy
video capture unit).

In return for your effort you will receive one of the display modules
and credit for the modification instructions.

If your interested give me a call or e-mail me as shown below.

Thanks

I'm sure it happens all the time. And nobody will ever know, because most
of this
usage is UHF low power, on splinter freqs.

Nobody is interfered with, nobody hears it, nobody really cares.

Probably as it should be.

Subject: Is There Any 2 Meter AM Activity?

I recently purchased an Icom 706 and would like to dabble with 2 meter

AM or SSB. Do hams actually communicate in these modes anymore? I

never seem to hear anyone. Is this mode more affected by propogation

than others? The main reason I ask is that I have never heard anyone

on 2 meter AM or SSB. I never see this topic discussed so I suppose

the answer will help new hams other than myself. I live near Macon

GA and travel to Atlanta frequently with the rig installe in my truck.

Thanks for any replies. Tim

Subject: Midland LMR: Any Info?

I managed to get a couple of surplus Midland Land Mobile Radio HT's.
They
are marked as Model No. 70-254B. The case and general appearance looks
like
they came out of the same mold (exactly) as my Icom 02-AT. A look with
my
spectrum analyzer shows that they are UHF.

They have 16 channels, LP tone encoding, with a selectable priority
channel.
The 'beep' when you press keys sounds just like the Icom. The keypad has
different markings than the 02-AT, so it's not obvious how you would
program
them.

So, a few of questions:

Are these things actually made by Icom?

Does anyone know how to program these things?
Turning them on with the 'shift' key (func on 02-AT) and holding it
for
about 5 seconds generates a different beep, the display stays blank,
and
apparently nothing else works except the PTT, which gets the radio
back
into normal mode.

Are these things even usable (or modifiable) on 70cm?
If not, I guess I've got a few extra batteries for my Icom...

Sorry, don't know a thing about the radio, but the two triangle marks on the AM dial
indicate Civil Defense frequencies - I beleive that two AM freqs were designated for
use nationwide back in the 60's or earlier, in the (then likely and widely anticipated)
event that someone lobbed a nuke at us. I haven't seen those marks in a long time
but remember them on the first transistor radio I ever saw. Maybe someone else can
add more details.....

<G>!

Seriously, I've had the bolts that fasten the filter capacitor to the
circuit board get loose. In the short term this causes hum; in the
long term, it can actually damage the circuit board.

Luckily the fix is easy. Take the cover off the supply & make sure
all screws (except of course the one in the voltage adjust control!)
are tight.

I've got an odd problem with this radio. I can tune 80, 20 & 15 meters
up to an output of 175 watts (into a dummy load) USB/LSB. However, on
40 meters, I can only tune a maximum of 100 watts. The (built-in
current) meter will show the PA current as normal (350MA) except on
40 meters, which will have a max of 175MA. All tubes check out ok and
it operates normally otherwise. Any suggestions as to what the problem
might be?

I have another Tempo One and it functions normally on all bands. It
differs from the one in question in that it has a cooling fan for the
finals.

Does the rig have separate tuned circuits in the mixer and driver stages

Is it known that the carpenter is using it on the HAM Bands?
Could have he done the MARS/CAP (xtended TX) mod and be using
frs or one of those business freqs like 154.6? If he is not using
the ham bands he is out of the hams' jurisdiction. If he is on band
and using the local repeaters, then the repeater owners have issue.
And the club (if one exists ) should persue it.
Next time he's over, have your Optronics 3000A, Scout, Explorer
going when he TXs.

There's nothing you can do until the FCC is willing to assume their
responsibilities and enforce the law. They haven't done that in a good
while now and probably won't ever again.

----------------------------------------------------------------

bit bucket /n./

1. The universal data sink (originally, the mythical receptacle
used to catch bits when they fall off the end of a register
during a shift instruction). Discarded, lost, or destroyed data
is said to have `gone to the bit bucket'. On Unix, often used
for /dev/null. Sometimes amplified as `the Great Bit Bucket in
the Sky'.

2. The place where all lost mail and news messages eventually go.
The selection is performed according to Finagle's Law;
important mail is much more likely to end up in the bit bucket
than junk mail, which has an almost 100% probability of getting
delivered. Routing to the bit bucket is automatically performed
by mail-transfer agents, news systems, and the lower layers of
the network.

3. The ideal location for all unwanted mail responses: "Flames
about this article to the bit bucket." Such a request is
guaranteed to overflow one's mailbox with flames.

4. Excuse for all mail that has not been sent. "I mailed you those
figures last week; they must have landed in the bit bucket." Compare
black hole.

This term is used purely in jest. It is based on the fanciful
notion that bits are objects that are not destroyed but only
misplaced. This appears to have been a mutation of an earlier
term `bit box', about which the same legend was current; old-
time hackers also report that trainees used to be told that
when the CPU stored bits into memory it was actually pulling
them `out of the bit box'. See also chad box.

Another variant of this legend has it that, as a consequence of
the `parity preservation law', the number of 1 bits that go to
the bit bucket must equal the number of 0 bits. Any imbalance
results in bits filling up the bit bucket. A qualified computer
technician can empty a full bit bucket as part of scheduled
maintenance.

The CTCSS decoder acts as your receiver's squelch when engaged. It isn't
something which reads out a tone frequency (though there are units which
can do that too). You set the tone to be decoded to match the one the repeater
your are monitoring transmits.

Most tone accessed repeaters, and even some which don't require tone
access, also transmit tone. So if you have a CTCSS decoder in the radio,
your receiver's squelch will only open when the repeater is transmitting
and the selected tone is decoded by your receiver. It *won't* open for pager
crud and other IMD and overload on or near the channel frequency. This
makes monitoring the repeater much more pleasant in those "intermod alleys"
most of us have to drive through every day.

Note, most repeaters won't pass through tone from user radios. The tone that
they transmit is generated by an encoder installed at the repeater. This is
usually, but not always, set to the same frequency as the tone needed to
access the repeater.

Having tone on the repeater output is a very good idea, and is beneficial whether
the repeater requires tone access or not because it helps out those monitoring
the repeater in those intermod alleys. Locally, we encourage all repeater owners
to install a 100 Hz output tone on their machines for this purpose.

isn't it similar to FT-200 FT-250 etc ?
I had an early FT-250 in 69. The fault John mentions occurred on 80m -
believe a 330uuF capacitor changed value in 80m driver or pre-driver
circuit, it was also a crystal problem on ssb (80m cw), believe one
ceramic value capacitor changed value in the carrier oscillator. I
cannot remember particular problems for 40m, but it is 27 years since I
had this rig... The AGC circuit looks like a copy of the Drake TR4.
DF7JE modified it similar to this, but I felt that it was not much
success in changing time constants in this order...

I am in the midst of building a 1208 transverter, and have tested out
the receive portion recently -- it worked great with my Halli S-53!
(approx -127 dBm AM input at 50 MHz was easily audible).

After I finish building the transmit portion and checking it out, I'm
going to "move" the 1208 transciver IF from 20m to 10m, as I don't
have a 20m all mode rig.

If anyone else has done this with the 1208 kit, I'd LOVE to hear from
them. So far it looks to be pretty straightforward, but one never
knows...

Subject: BEWARE OF DEALINGS WITH Mark S. Conway

I had a simular experience.

A guy in New York, I won't mention his name because I don't mean to cause
him any harm, and I struck a deal for some equipment.. The last I heard
from him is that it was a done deal and he would ship by UPS blue label.
Well, I had a check ready but no UPS man/woman ever showed up. So I
emailed numerous times and now response from that individual who has an
address at ibm.com....

I mailed a final email that asked for a courtesy response stating if he
was going to send it or not. That way I could look elsewhere for the same
product. I got absolutely no response.

Perhaps he lost my address, email address, and the phone number that I
gave him. Hmmmm, sounds unlikely but I will give him the benefit of the
doubt. My guess is that he got a better offer, which is FINE, but he
could at least had the courtesy to let me know. There would have been no
hard feelings.

Oh well. I guess not everyone has the same ethic and respect for fellow
human beings that I do.

Just my 2 cents.

Brian,

I am sorry to hear your bad experience and deeply regret that
you feel left out by the "Extra Class" fists.

I guess you've missed my point here. I am not pushing people
to believe that CW and Extra Class are everything, rather, I am
merely trying to mention an option of getting the code tests
done. I made it in one way, but others might have made it in a
different way.

It's true that I love code; moreover, I also love that little extra
elbow-room that advanced tickets can enjoy. Maybe it is me
who like to go after a personal goal (Extra ticket in this case)
or finding something that I think has batter resale value. It
really doesn’t matter! All we (HAM) care is to make QSO’s
and enjoy our hobby!

I shall leave the discussion on the existence of code test for
other people to argue. I got my Extra ticket by passing the test
because it is TODAY’S requirement. TOMORROW’s
requirement has itself to worry about. But for now, I play it
by the rule. It’s something I’ve earned and been enjoyed
doing.

I know there are no-code fans out there, don’t bother to flame
me.

Best 73!

Subject: FT-51 cross band repeat?

Chuck,

The manual neglects to tell you to put the '51R in the "DUP" (duplex) mode
first! Try this (<FM><9>) and crossband-repeat will work.

There are >several< things that are not mentioned in the manual. If
you're scanning and come across an interesting frequency, how do you hang
onto it, short of writing it down? Press <FM> and <VFO>, this will
transfer the frequency to the last VFO used. This also works if you're
using a memory channel as a "VFO" (MT).

Feel free to ask me if you have any other questions--I may have stumbled
across an answer!

Subject: HF Equipment comments wanted please

Hello everyone,

Being active on the 2 meter band for some years now, I've now decided to get an
HF rig (read: I've finally saved some money for it :)).

I've been browsing through sites, catalogs, stores, and I've come up with the
following list :

Maker Model Aprox price in USD

Alinco DX-70TH 969.95
Icom IC-707 759.95
Kenwood TS-50S 849.95
Yaesu FT-840 899.95

Now, all the manufacturer specs aside, I'd like hear from people that have
actually used these radios - good/bad experiences, receiver performance as in
sensivity and selectivity, stability of operation (has the pll lock ever failed
on you while you used any of these models ?).

Receiver performance is very important to me...with all the signals you can get
in the HF bands, and interference from strong adjacent stations, its no good to
pay top $$$ for a radio if it can't receive well - of these models, which one do
you consider to have the best receiver circuitry ?

The Alinco seems to be a very good buy...has FM and 6 meter band already
included in the price - for the price, it looks too good to be true when
compared with other rigs of the same price range.

The Icom seems to have a more sensitive and selective receiver.

The fact is, I know I can't get a Rhode & Schwartz receiver, or a Japan Radio
Company quality equipment for these prices, but I'd like to employ my money in a
decent rig that would last me several years, with a good quality service.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this msg, and please reply by
email as well as posting your replies.

Best regards,

Pedro Delgado /

I don't know the details of the Gonset, but you might post the basic
frequency of the crystals (8 mhz, 6 mhz, whatever) so we can peruse our
junkboxes for you.
6 Meter AM activity was abysmally low back in the mid to late 1970's
when I became a 6 meter enthusiast, and 6 was the lowest DX frequency
for Technician licensees back then, and they constituted the majority of
the contacts I conversed with. 10 Meter SSB is now the DX band of
choice for many if not most Techs and I think this has impacted 6 meter
activity.
SSB had become the dominant mode by the mid- 70's and I eventually
succumbed to 6 Meter SSB by building a transverter for my HF rig and
eventually converted an old SSB CB rig directly to 6 meters.
There are probably a few 6M AM nets still in existence, especially in
the Midwest, and when the band gets really hot there are occasionally
some AM'ers that come out of the woodwork. But I think you'll find they
are quite few and far between.

I happen to own a VHF/One Plus and have a schematic. All I need is an
address to send a copy to. I don't like to charge somebody for the cost
of copying it's not worth it. Besides you make friends quicker and
better if you do nice things.
Here's the pinout of ACC: 1 ground
2 Mic
3 PTT
4 Comes from relay contact K2(energized by SSB)
5 N/C
6 DISCR1
7 Speaker
8 V+(12 v)
9 Comes from power booster (Q1) and tied to pin 4 through
R4 68 ohm.
This might help until I get your address.

Watch the fans though. All three of my computers run 100% of the time.
But, I have to replace fans now and then. When the fan dies, it gets a
little quieter, and the temp goes up in the box, lowering the life of the
components inside. If you aren't around and don't catch it, things can get
a little warm. Just "keep an ear peeled" for the fans.

You will also need to blow the dirt out more often unless you're in a
conditioned environment. The fans in question suck household dust through
every opening, including floppy slots, jacks (cdrom/modem), etc.

On the other hand, if you only use your computer once a week, shut it off.

If you attempt to do the cap/mars modification on the Ft-50 using a
soldering iron. Will it damage the radio at all. For example put small

If so how would do it without messing up the radio.

The two triangles represent 640khz and 1240khz respectively and were, as
previously stated, for Civil Defense announcements. All other radio
operation would be ceased in the event of a nuclear emergency. The
markings began in 1954 and lasted through 1963 radios, although some
imported units lasted a little longer.

Icom IC-W32A Mini-Review

The never-ending search for the perfect (Icom) handheld has led me to the
Icom IC-W32A, a tiny dual-bander. It's getting close. (You
Kenwood/Yaesu/Alinco/Standard guys - write your own review.)

As dual-band HTs got smaller, the shrinking real-estate on top of the radio
created a problem. It takes three knobs to control the usual
volume/squelch combo for VHF, volume/squelch for UHF, and channel/tuning.
Add jacks for antenna, power and a speaker/mic, and things get tight on the
top of smaller rigs.

Icom's first dualbander-on-a-diet was the W2A back in 1991 (the 24AT
doesn't count - it can't tune both bands at once, so it doesn't need dual
controls). They jammed all the controls on top of the radio, but they put
the VHF volume/squelch shaft so close to the antenna connector that it was
hard to turn. The next generation W21A still had three knobs, but somewhat
better ergonomics. But the competition was getting smaller still. There
just wouldn't be room.

So Icom and the other manufacturers pulled one of the three knobs off the
top of the radio, and everybody went off in different directions as they
tried to figure out how to double up on the functions of the remaining two
knobs. The result is that you probably can't just pick up a friend's HT
and use it anymore, unless it happens to be on the right channel and have
the right volume setting already.

Icom went through some particularly tortured control combinations in the
short-lived Z1A and W31A before arriving at a workable combination in the
W32A. Those older radios put the squelch controls for each band on the
outside rings of each shaft, and divide the inside ring between volume duty
and channel duty. The Z1 forces you to find and push a "function" key
before you can adjust the volume (a real stupid idea). The W31 lets you
program those shafts to be either volume or channel, and then you have to
hold the function button use the opposite function (not as stupid, but
inconvient).

I have a Z1, and kept wishing that they hadn't wasted that outside ring on
the squelch control. Sure, squelch is a diddler's delight as a control,
but you really don't have to adjust it much. Volume control is much more
important.

Well, someone at Icom must have been listening inside my brain, because
that's just what they did. The ring on each outer shaft of the W32
controls volume - easy to reach and adjust. The center knob controls
frequency (and other functions through the SET menu).

To change the squelch level, you have to hold a function key and rotate the
center knob. But, among the 8 levels of squelch settings, there's
something called "AT," or as the manual describes it, an "automatic level
adjustment with a noise pulse count system." I don't know what that is,
but it seems to work pretty well. I'm now happy with the compromise on
limited real-estate.

Something else I'm happy about is memories - 100 per band. 100 memories on
2 meters is just barely enough for what I want to do, which is program
every 2 meter repeater and simplex channel into a memory (there are 100 of
the beasts).

Why do that? Because it's the only way to easily scan all the 2 meter FM
channels. The band plan is too convoluted for easy scanning using "band
limits." Repeaters down by 145.11 - 145.49 are in 20 kHz steps. Then
there's a big gap in the band, until you reach the repeaters and simplex
from 146.4 to 147.6, and those are on 15 kHz channels. So you're choices
are to scan just one part of the band efficiently, or scan too much of it
at 5 kHz steps, very inefficiently. Unless you can program every channel
into memory.

There's just one thing I'd like to see in addition that the W32 doesn't do
- "bank" the memories, or group them and let me turn banks on and off. The
local repeaters would be in one bank, and the rest of them would be in
another. I could then choose to scan just the local machines, or all of
them. You might have your own favorite plan for banked memories.

(Why do I want to do all that scanning anyway? How do you think I got the
reputation for being everywhere at once?)

And now, some of the other interesting touches in this radio:

Alpha names - you can program the display to read an 8-character text name
for memory channels. Great for those lesser-used memory channels when you
can't remember why you programmed it. But I dread the day when we stop
calling it "six-four" and start calling it "channel nine."

Weather Channels - there's a separate "band" for tuning the NOAA weather
channels from 162.40 - 162.55. They read out only in channel numbers from
1 thru 10, not in frequencies. And the order is strange: Ch. 1 is 162.55,
Ch. 2 is 162.40, Ch. 3 is 162.475, Ch. 4 is 162.425, and it goes up from
there. That follows the order of "popularity" of the NOAA channels, but
will seem odd to hams used to dealing with real frequencies.

Frequency coverage is wide, but not quite as wide as earlier models (you'll
need to "keyboard mod" the radio for 800 MHz receive - turn off, and hold
down the SQUELCH and BAND buttons while turning on):

108-136, with a real AM detector.

136-200 (I haven't tested the sensitivity in the upper reaches of that
band,, but it doesn't hear the potent ch. 11 video carrier on 199.25, so I
suspect it's kind of deaf up there).

300-400 (again, no sensitivity measurements, and there's an FM detector,
although much of the military aviation activity in this band is AM).

400-600. Here, the TV carrier test shows sensitivity up to the low 500's,
but it can't hear channel 30 (in Middelsex) at 567.24 - that carrier bangs
into my AOR 3000A scanner.

600 - 1000. No hint of the channel 40 carrier at 627.26, but it hears the
800 MHz public service stuff well. The cellular band is blocked (big deal,
it's all going digital anyway). It hears a 940 MHz system well.

It's a small radio, but has big buttons. The speaker is on the small side,
with only fair fidelity and volume. Transmit audio is kind of bassy and a
little muddy.

Transmitting on VHF will finally mute the UHF receiver, and vice versa. It
took Icom forever to figure this out. With the W2A and W21A, if you were
transmitting on VHF and somebody came up on UHF, you blasted that sound out
your transmitter.

You can set different CTCSS tones for transmit and receive. The only radio
I've encounterd before that did this was the Radio Shack HTX-202. I don't
think I've ever really wished I could do that, but now I can.

Automatic Repeater Offsets - Kenwood has done this for years. Icom just
learned how to track the radio with the band plan, and shift the
transmitter offset up or down depending on what part of the band you're in.
But the band plan they used must have been the ARRL's, which still calls
for "linear translators" between 145.11 and 145.19. So the W32A won't set
an automatic offset there. Icom, get a clue. There are no linear
translators except on the OSCARS, so this part of the band is full of
repeaters.

But they make up for that faux pas with this feature - when it's time to
program a memory, you dial it into the VFO, then push some buttons to start
putting it into memory. But part way into that process, as you are
selecting which memory channel you want to use by dialing across the
existing memory channels, the display SHOWS YOU WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN
PROGRAMMED in each channel. Now that is extra useful.

There's a direct readout of battery voltage - at least I thought there was.
Turns out it only reads in .5 volt increments, and not when the radio is
transmitting. So it's utility is limited. The manual says it was designed
to keep tabs on the voltage of an alkaline pack, not the nicads.

Cloning and PC programming - you can. I haven't tried it yet. You need an
optional cable.

There is no adapter to charge the battery with the little wall cube charger
when the battery is off the radio. Your option is to charge it while on
the radio, or get a rapid-charger. The rapid charger is nice, and it runs
on 12 volts, so you can use it in your car. Beware, there's a little,
loose plastic insert required to hold in different size batteries. It
falls out easily. I know. I lost mine. The replacement is $15.

DTMF "Paging" functions are GONE. Nobody except N1GMV every used them, but
they were a great idea. Your radio could be programmed with a bunch of
touch-tone codes, and would sit silently monitoring a busy channel until
someone send one of your codes. I couldn't believe this radio didn't have
the feature, but it's not on the buttons, and not in the manual. It does
have CTCSS encode and decode, with 50 tone channels instead of the usual
38.

Also missing is the ability to keep the internal speaker going when you
plug in a speaker-mic.

And finally, Icom stole Kenwood's "guide." It's a little scroll of text
across the screen that tells you what the function of a button or "set"
function is. I felt like a dork using it, but it worked.

There's more, of course, but most of the other functions are the ones we've
been using for several years.

So yes, I like the W32. It solved some vexing operational problems, and
only added a few small new ones. My W2A cost over $600 in 1991. The W32
street price is about $400.
