To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I bought an Azden AZ-61 6m HT last year, and found it generally OK,
with a couple exceptions, such as...
No schematic included (got one from the NY office, tho)
Only 2m manual available (bad for a radio with relatively complicated
interface)
Occassional need for hard reset to clear CPU problems (goodbye memories)
Unit cannot receive while usinng up/down buttons (rx PLL not fast enough)
On the other hand, it is really great to have a 6m HT -- they're too
rare, arent;'t they?!

Steve, a review of the new Azden 6 meter HT claims it won't do
"odd" repeater splits. (In the current 73 magazine.) I was
thinking about buying one, but changed my mind, as many 6 meter
repeaters have odd splits.
Have you found a way with yours to enter an odd split? --Leigh/KM6JE.

STS-58 SAREX MISSION ENDS
HR AMSAT NEWS SERVICE BULLETIN 303.01 FROM AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD OCTOBER 30, 1993
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS BT
BID: $ANS-303.01
STS-58 Astronuats Breaks All SAREX Records
Now that the Space Shuttle Columbia Astronauts have packed away the Shuttle
Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) gear, it can be said that this SAREX
flight was one of the most successful performed to date. All facets of
this SAREX flight were performed superbly. This was a testament of the
outstanding support and preparation by the Astronauts on-orbit and the
SAREX team on the ground. For the DX chaser, this mission will probably be
remembered for the special effort that was made on the part of the
astronauts to make as many general voice QSO contacts as their busy
schedule would allow. The astronauts were available on voice for all the
"scheduled" general QSO opportunities and many additional passes.
Estimates of the number of voice contacts are difficult without hearing the
tape logs but are probably in the high hundreds. With respect to packet
QSOs, well over 800 at this time is a good estimate. Until the SAREX logs
have been completely examined, these are only preliminary estimates.
One important facet of SAREX is school group contacts. This mission shined
from a school group success standpoint. Of the 17 school groups and 8
personal contacts planned, only 2 school group and 1 personal contacts had
to be repeated. The probability of a successful school contact on the
first attempt was nearly 90% for this mission. During previous missions,
our success rate was between 66-75%. Also, the majority of the schools had
horizon to horizon contacts and many schools had 10 or more questions
answered. Hundreds of school children were thrilled by the experience of
talking directly with the STS-58 astronauts and asking questions about
various aspects of space flight. Many thousand more were also able to
listen into the conversation. On 21-OCT-93, the Lycee Gaston Febus school
in Pau, France had a telebridge contact with the astronauts. Jean-Marc
Dumont, the French school coordinator reports that over 10,000 students
throughout France listened to the contact through a national repeater link.
The SAREX Working Group wishes to thank the school group volunteers for
their outstanding efforts, the ARRL for their educational lesson plans and
education support, the AMSAT technical mentors who coached the schools
prior to the contact, and those who helped in the Mission Control Customer
Support room; particularly John Nickel (WD5EEV), and Karen Nickel (WD5EEU).
If you heard or worked the STS-58 station of KC5ACR or W5RRR-1 and you
would like to receive a QSL card, then please send your QSL card to the
following address: ARRL, STS-58 QSL, 225 Main Street, Newington, CT, 06111.
Please allow for up to 6-10 months for the STS-58 SAREX Mission QSL card to
be mailed. Please include with your QSL card all the specific QSO inform-
ation such as, date, time, mode, frequency, etc. Also, and most impor-
tantly, if you wish to receive a QSL card confirming a contact, YOU MUST
INCLUDE A SELF-ADDRESS-STAMPED-ENVELOPE (SASE) WITH PROPER POSTAGE! If you
do not include a SASE, you will not receive a QSL card.
A great deal of recognition should be given to the hard work done by the
SAREX Working Group which listened to the feedback from radio amateurs from
previous SAREX missions and worked very hard improve operations. Also, a
big "thanks" is due to the astronauts aboard STS-58; particularly Bill
McArthur (KC5ACR), Marty Fettman (KC5AXA), and Rick Searfoss, (KC5CKM).
In the upcoming weeks as the SAREX logs are analyzed by the SAREX Team, the
AMSAT News Service (ANS) bulletins will publish final STS-58 operational
statistics.

Easy... linked repeaters don't hear each other's output. They only
hear each other's link channels. The ID appearing on the 2nd rptr's
ouput would never be seen by the first one.
Again... linked repeaters usually don't listen to each other. They are
linked on separate frequencies/bands.

Dominic:
Check suppliers for the same type of cells as in your pack (AA,N,1/2AA,
whatever) in the same AH (ampere-hour) capacity. Get the ones with
solder-tabs for ease of interconnection. Dont overlook Radio Shack for
possible replacement Nicds -- they carry cordles telephone packs that
can sometimes be added together for our purposes (example ICOM BP3
can be rebuilt using Radioo Shack 3 and 4-cell cordelss packs -- works
slick).

I think this was covered recently by other posts. I use CTCSS tone
constantly. In a metro area, it cuts off the intermod noise. Not
all repeaters transmit CTCSS tone, but I take advantage of it when
I can.

That's right.

The 78A can not do an in-band repeat. The FT530 "can" but it is deaf as a
post in that mode, so why bother. The same band operation has been very
useful to me. I often monitor public service frequencies in the 460 range
while on a net on 440. I also operate simplex on one side of the radio
and a repeater on the other side, on the same band. The redundancy of
same band operation on both sides is also handy, since I have lost
one side of the radio at times. (see below).
>In the VHF freqs. it lists the RX as 118 - 173.9995 Mhz, TX 144 - 147.9995
>Mhz. What can you hear in the 118 - 144 and 148 - 173 Mhz ranges?
Aircraft (AM operation) and public service.
>Memory Expansion? Worth it? (You go from 50 memories to 250. 5x increase.)
>Typically, how many memories do people use on their HTs?
YES! The memory expansion is relatively cheap, and if you use the alpha-
numeric display capability, the memory is re-mapped and you only get
half as many slots. I have repeater and public service frequencies
for the areas I routinely travel through loaded in memory. It is far
more convenient than plugging numbers into the VFO all the time. Also
I use an odd split on the public service frequencies so I do not
inadvertently transmit on those frequencies. That can not be done in VFO,
odd splits require use of a memory slot.
>Yes... more questions: When purchasing an HT, do you typically buy
>additional battery packs? (I'm assuming this would be a yes. :)
>If so, what types? High power, Long life? A mix? Why?
Yes, you should buy an additional battery pack. I bought a high power
pack and an alkaline pack (so in a pinch I can recharge at K-mart, 7-11
etc.) An additional low power pack fell into my lap since then. I use the
two low power packs most often, but I am also operating repeaters in a
metro area, or on external DC in the car most times.
>If I get a lighter cord, will the batteries recharge while the HT is
>plugged in? Or, do they charge only when in the recharger?
Same jack, the battery will charge on the DC cord (low power battery) the
high power battery has a separate jack in the back that works the same
way.
>How well do the HTs stand up to abuse? (e.g. being dropped, shaken,
>rattled, accidentally getting wet)
The 78A WILL lose C-17 on the control board if dropped, period. This
causes loss on receive audio on the left-hand side of the radio. The
solder pads for that cap are not big enough. If you find the need to
replace C-17, use a gap-fill cyanoacrylate glue like Zap-A-Gap (tm)
to increase the device footprint. I have learned the hard way.
Otherwise, I have found it to be a fine radio. My only problems have
been related to the C-17 issue and attempts to rectify it. Had I
been given the above advice, it would have been a one-time only
issue. As it is, I took out one of the microprocessors yesterday
looking for a bad solder joint that was induced by my attempt to
solve the C-17 problem (sigh). This radio gets a lot of use and
a lot of travel. C-17 is the only thing that I have broken with
the case closed. :-)
Note that I have found Kenwood service to be great, and I am very
happy with the radio. I just want to make the one weak spot, and
the fix, known.
