I have had one for about 8 months now and it has worked flawlessly.  The
only problem (which has just surfaced) is that it appears to have some
dirt in a couple of the buttons and behaves somewhat erratically on two
functions.

But this doesnt explain why the repeater might sound _better_ when 
tuning the radio off frequency. It sounds like his radio might be 
off frequency. I suggest resetting the CPU before anything else.

Also, FM on VHF is narrow banded.

Subject: Hamradio with deer hunting!
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

Hello to all you hams!

I went deer hunting with my father (KA5ZEH) last weekend in Texas and decided
to take another hobby with me:  Hamradio!

We both had TH28's and decided to use them for two reasons: 1)emergencys
2) To call eachother when one of us was ready to go. 

It worked out really well.  There wasn't any interference with static (due to 
the dtmf squelch) and it didn't interrupt the hunt.  

I have posted this because I believe that there is someone out there that likes
to hunt too. I wish I could tell the story better but  . . . . you know how 
college students are.  Hi!

I also took my Ten-Tec Omin-D with me and erected a home-made dipole.  It worked well.  I had contacts with:  K3SFS, N7YGE, KA1NTA, & KM6YI  .
Each person was on a different band (ecpt. K3SFS & N7yge which were on 10 m)
The others ranged on 15m and 40m.  BTW, this was a 40m diploe that I erected, 
but of course, I used an ant. tuner.

Well 73 All and good luck with all. 
Merry Christmas and have a safe Happy New Year.

Mark

That's because there is no such IP address. Try this

nslookup

arrl.org

Goodness, you mean Jeff "CENSORSHIP WARNING" Herman actually supports

Subject: Reporting Constant QRM:  who?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu

For the past couple of years this one guy ( who everyone knows ) has 
been causing malicious QRM on 80 40 10 and 2 meters...using others
call signs, doing everything possible to irritate everyone and daring
everyone  to 'do somthoing about it' ... then proclaims we can not.

He now practically owns a local repeater, that a club has put a lot of\
time/effort/money into.. and we've run out of legal ideas to have him stop.

I don't wanna hear jazz about 'go pin his coax' ... go 'speak to him' ...
as he's been spoken to many many many times....  and when he was a CBer, the
CBers shot his antenna, roped his antenna, and someone cut out a 5 foot
section of his coiax, replaced it with black garden hose....  and he came back
for more, worse than before.


WHO do we send our logs of all his doings to?

Some of us have been logging all his qrming, and it's gotten to where it's time
to send this in to some one.

Do we send this to the ARRL...if so WHO?  Can it be done via Internet?
Or by US Mail?

I've been asked to ask here, and will forward USFUL replys back...

tnx

73 (I hope)

If you can find J mark (J word in triangle) side the serial number,
you can not transmit mods anyway.J mark rig is no way for transmit mods.
BUT one way for transmit mods.If your rig is first lot in J mark.
use some DTMF code , you can transmit mods.
First lot in J mark of C520,C620 cpu have bugs :-). I have it. 
This rig have trasmit mods in spite of J mark.

I am looking for any info on how to get a Standard C520 (Japanese

(the Japanese 70 cm band) I have the mods to extend the receive (same

I have a photocopy of a photocopy of a fax of a photocopy of a page out
of a japanese modification book that has the receive mods and what
appears to be the transmit mod, but the copy is so bad that I can't make
out the sequence (besides the fact that the instructions are in japenese
:-).

I have contacted Standard USA and they don't have any documentation on
the japanese version, and Standard in Japan will not support the radio
outside of japan. (I think the radio was bought in Hong Kong). 

Thanks for any help

I have the listing. You might have to neaten up the layout because of

If you are not willing to work within the system to come up with a
soultion, then stop complaining about it. If you took the time to do any
research on the subject, you would know the answer. Since your comments
show an ignorance of the situation, rules and the FOB of the FCC's
stated postion, I can only assume that you have no desire to improve the
situatuion. How could you bitch about it if you helped solve it.

If you took the time to find out you would know that LIC's, after
entering an agreement with the OOC and FOB can deal directly with the
FOB.

If the state of the Auxiliary in your area is as bad as you say, it is
the fault of the more experianced hams in the area that have failed in
their responsibilites. (And ALL of THEM have at least 5 WPM code by the
way).

As a ham, and particularly as a ham who occasionally has been known to
fire up the 4-1000A/833A rig and run 1000 watts of AM on the ham bands
(at least before the power law changed), I am appalled that another ham
would make this misinformed statement.

I used to be heard in things ranging from the telephone to the kitchen
oven, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with my transmitter or
the way I was operating it.

If a device that is not designed to pick up radio frequencies does in
fact pick them up, the fault is in that device... *not* the transmitting
device.  If the device being interfered with *is* designed to pick up
radio frequencies (i.e. a tv or radio), the fault is not so clear.

Keith (WA2Q)
