Hello. I am not sure if this is 100% relevant for this channel, but I figure
that the people that would know anything about the area of my question are
subscribed to this channel.
I am a student here at MIT that is implementing a project to "track" the MIT
shuttles, so that students logged into the network will be able to find out where
it is and when to wait. In order to do this, I was probably going to use a
numerical code, transmitted using touch-tone (DTMF) encoders and decoders,
In order to do this, however, I would have to use a frequency on which to
transmit. Thus, this project then finds itself at the hands of the FCC. I was
wondering if anyone out there knows about the regulations concerning broadcasting
"beeps" over the range of a few square miles in a major city. This will probably
be a signal in the range of 10^1 kW. Which regulations apply? How do I find
out about them? What radio bands would/could I use? Any
idea as to the efficiency of such transmission?
Anyway, thanks for listening, and I hope someone out there has both the
answers and the time to write back.

Does anyone have any opinions on the Icom IC-2SRA, and, in particular,
its general coverage VHF/UHF receiver? Is it better than the supposedly
bad Icom R-1?

CQ Netters,
While browsing through some modification files for the FT-470
I spotted a hardware modification that clames that the set is
able to be converted to cover 1.25 m and 23 cm bands in place
of the original 2 m and 70 cm bands !!!
Has anyone tried such a modification ? has it worked ? if yes
at what expence (receiver censitivity) ??
Please reply via e-mail to: demetre@intranet.gr

I just bought a new FT2400 for use in my truck. The microphone has four
buttons "A, B, C & D" next to the DTMF pad. The user's manual makes
no mention of them. Are they a vestigial organ from another model or
is Yaesu just trying to confuse its customers?
They look like they should be DTMF memories. Does anyone out there
know what is and is not supported?
