Yes, I included 2000 and got a "no route" prompt. With 3000 I got a
"connect refused" prompt. I tried to send /PORT=2000 and 3000, and every way
I could think of. My system operators can't explain the refuse to me. Do you
think it locks out connects from outside North America? Or maybe it just
does not like me.

Does anyone know if there is a listserv mailing list one can subscribe

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Jack, for the tip on the Icom dial. Hope this gets into the "mods"
archives in the future.
Just curious if this applies to the Icom 735 - will look at it tonight.
I hope you didn't wear out that tuning dial in two weeks!

There are a couple of types of amateur radios you might consider,
with the appropriate licenses of course. The first type is a VHF,
or UHF, or VHF/UHF handheld FM voice radio commonly called a HT by
amateurs. *If* there is a mountaintop repeater within your line of
sight, and there are many in California, you should be able to have
communications in the back country. Without a repeater, your signals
will normally be of limited range, basically no more than 3-5 miles
unless you are in a particularly favorable location. If you're on
a mountaintop, your range may extend out more than 100 miles. That's
why repeater stations are placed there. Usually you'll find someone
monitoring the repeater frequency around the clock. Power demands
for these handheld radios are modest, they're tiny, and antennas are
small. Name brands are Radio Shack (surprisingly good), Icom, Yaesu,
Kenwood, Alinco, and Standard. Prices run from $300 to $600 for new
radios, batteries, and other accessories. A Technician or higher class
amateur license is required.
The other type of radio that you might consider is a small SSB/CW
radio operating on the HF (High Frequency) spectrum. With the proper
choice of time of day, frequency, and condition of the Sun, the
ionosphere can act as a sort of repeater, refracting your signals
back to Earth at distant points. This can lead to worldwide
communications, though not to all points at once. Using the Earth's
natural repeater frees you from the restriction of being within line
of sight of an actual repeater, but it brings along a host of problems,
or challenges depending on how you look at it, of it's own. You must
develop an understanding of the factors influencing propagation. You
must become aware of different propagation modes, and you must keep
informed about the state of the Sun. There are few commercial radios
suitable for backpacking, antennas are large, and prices run from
$500-$5000 depending on how elaborate a radio you want. Some amateurs
use small home built CW radios. Others use so called QRP radios from
Ten-Tec, Yaesu, and (with modifications) from Icom. Radios are generally
bigger than the HTs, typically like a fat shoebox. Antennas, while
large, can be made of wire and thrown over convienent supports on
site. These aren't radios that you would normally be able to use while
on the move on foot. There are a couple of limited availability choices
for on the move HF. A company makes a handheld SSB radio for single
band use. It's imported in limited numbers under different names.
While fun to use, it probably shouldn't be counted on for reliable
communications. The second choice is one of the various military
manpack radios. These sometimes show up on the surplus market.
They're bigger and tougher than the other choices, but make quite
a load for a backpacker by themselves. To use any of these radios
on any band aside from 10 meters, a General Class license or higher
is required. Limited 10 meter voice operation and small CW segments
are available with just a Technician plus Morse Code or Novice license.
10 meters generally isn't suitable for the medium range type of
communications you're likely to want, it has wide "skip zones", but
it does ocasionally offer long range contact possibilities with low
power. HF is not channelized operation, and it's often difficult to
reach someone at a specific location unless prearrangements are made.
So your amateur choices are VHF/UHF or HF. The former is better for
reliable emergency communications provided you'll be in range of a
repeater. The latter is the only thing if no repeater is available,
but is erratic at best due to changing propagation, lack of standard
channels being monitored, bulk of equipment, and the extra operator
knowledge and skills (on both ends) required to use it effectively.
There is a third way that I haven't mentioned, amateur satellite
operation. VITA demonstrated that a briefcase sized station can
reliably send Email via Microsat from locations far in the bush.
While I haven't heard of backpackers doing this routinely, there's
no reason you couldn't use this method to keep in touch. Communications
windows are fairly short, about 10 minutes each, and only when a
Microsat is above your local horizon, about twice a day for a given
satellite, but the method should be very reliable and predictable.
You need small VHF/UHF radios, a TNC, and some sort of display and
keyboard device, an HP95LX will work. Antennas are modest. A Technician
or higher license is required.
Whatever radio system you choose, carry a solar panel to recharge
the batteries if you're going to be out for more than a day.

Yes! The message I am trying to convey is that if a new or VHF-poor ham
wants a USEFUL and INEXPENSIVE radio that works and provides the best
dollar value, buy a used HT or mobile radio. If you want a second radio
just for fun and have $150-200 burning a hole in your pocket, get the
Ramsay FX kit.
Converting used commercial gear is another option that is vastly better
than the Ramsay kit.

You are a prince among hams! This would be a great service for all such
capable amateurs and local clubs to offer. It's a great way to ensure
that all those FM transmitters are operating properly. Again, I commend
you.

NOTES:
These VHF DX prediction charts are defined for the 30 MHz to 220 MHz
bands. They are based primarily on phenomena which can affect VHF DX
propagation globally. They should be used only as a guide to potential
DX conditions on VHF bands. Latitudinal boundaries are the same as those for
the HF predictions charts.
