The instructions say to bridge the dotted line with a jumper when
using balanced feeders. Leave it unbridged and hook the wire to 'wire'
when using just an, ahem, 'wire.'

TTARS, The Tennessee Technological Univeristy Amateur Radio
Society is proud to announce a Special Events station. The
station will be tested on Friday April 15 and be on the air
Saturday April 16 and Sunday April 17. The purpose of the
special events station is to demonstrate the effectiveness
of low power HF communications on both SSB and CW.
The event will take place in remote sections of Fall Creek
Falls state park in Tennessee. We will be testing out the
new MFJ 20 meters SSB travel radio, some new QRP CW
transceivers and hopefully some other new toys.
For a nice certificate send a 9X12 SASE with QSL card and
contact number to:
TTARS
Tennessee Tech. U.
Box 5262
Cookeville, TN 38505
*probably start afternoon of Friday April 15.
Sat. April 16 and Sunday April 17
----------------------------------
14:00-16:00Z (7.250-2.270)
(7.055-7.065)
16:00-17:00Z (14.250-14.265)
(14.055-14.065)* if enough ops
17:00-18:00Z (28.350-28.365)
18:00-20:00Z (21.250-21.265)
(21.050-21.065)*
20:00-22:00Z (14.250-14.265)
(10.110-10.115)*
22:00-24:00Z (7.250-7.270)
00:00-02:00Z (3.900-3.915) or
(7.250-7.270)
=======================================================
* we will operate on whichever band has best propogation. We
will attempt to stay with the above frequencies as much as
possible. The way conditions have been lately, 20 meters
will most likely be our main backup band.

To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Will it power the HTX-202? I'd get a DEFINITE answer first on the
voltage range the HTX-202 accepts; don't count on the HT surviving
excessive voltage.
If it's not too much, and it doesn't have too much ripple, then you
can probably use the adapter FOR RECEIVE ONLY. The 1A output can't
be enough for transmitting; I expect you will get a truly AWFUL HUM
when you try it. But as long as you don't exceed the current
capacity of the adapter (rated 1 A), it may well be nicely regulated
DC and hum-free for receiving.
