The grounding is for lightning protection.  I would run the ground
wire AND THE COAX from the J-pole to the base of the discone.
Ground the coax shield to the ground wire at that point.
(Cut the coax, and terminate each end with a PL-259 connector.
Connect them back up with a double-female barrel connector connected
to the ground wire with heavy wire or strap.)

Ideally, both coaxes should be run in parallel with the ground wire
to the ground rod.  Ground the coax shields directly to the rod
before routing the coaxes into the house.  For best protection of
the radios, a coaxial lightning arrestor should be included 
somewhere in each coax.

Free space path loss L dB = 20 Log F + 20 Log D + 36 (approximately)
where F = frequency in MHz and D = distance in miles.  Received
signal strength S = Pt + Gt + Gr - L, where Pt is transmitted
power in dBm, Gt is transmitter antenna gain in dBi, Gr is receiver antenna
gain in dBi, and L is path loss as computed above in dB.  Substituting and 
solving
for D with S set equal to a minimum usable signal of, say, -110 dBm,
gives a best case range of 3,548 miles.  This is the range you could get
in free space.  Use of a gain antenna would vastly increase this range. 
Using
just 10 dB of antenna gain at each end would increase the max range
to a whopping 35,000 miles.  So, if you're shooting for outer space,
you've got it made.  On the earth's surface, you're limited by the 
terrain, and the curve of the earth.  For flat earth, not accounting for
hills and things, a handy formula is R = SQRT(2*H), where R is the
range of in miles, and H is the combined heights of the transmitting
and receiving antennas in feet.  This formula takes into account atmospheric
refraction.

After all that, there's a short answer: line of sight.  At those power
levels, you should be able to talk about as far as you can see from the
tops of the two antennas.  There will be some knife-edge propagation
over the tops of hills and things, but it will get pretty spotty.  Out 
there
in the flatlands of KS, you might get 50 miles using ordinary sorts of
antennas mounted on masts.  From mobile to mobile, more like 10 - 20
miles at best.  Here in Northern Virginia, where the ground is pretty
hilly, we're doing well to work direct from car to car over distances
of 5 miles at power levels around 30 watts.  From repeater stations
with antennas up 50 -100 feet, we get 30 - 50 miles all the
time.  Good luck.

Mike, N4PDY.

I have done the mod, and it really helps on SSB. You should know, however,
that this is not a simple "diode cut" mod. You have to do some minor rewiring
(very minor) and you have to add an RF choke. It's no big deal, but I didn't do

Organization: MPR Teltech Ltd., Burnaby, BC, Canada.


Sorry if these are the wrong newsgroups for this topic, but none of
the other newsgroups seemed appropriate either. As the subject
suggests, I'm looking for information on the frequency of the
transmitter of a Fisher-Price Nursery Monitor. For those without kids,
nursery monitors are a nifty invention for eaves-dropping on young
children. (Please forward comments on the ethics of this practice to
/dev/null. 8-) The transmitter sits in the room where the kid is and
you can carry the receiver around. (Like walkie-talkies.) It has a
range of up to around 40 yards, depending on interference. This brand
in particular has two channels, so if one is noisey, you can switch
both units to the other channel.

A place that we frequent for summer vacation tends to have lots of
other parents with kids. This summer there were several with nursery
monitors, all of the same brand with the same two channels. Needless
to say, it doesn't help much to hear someone else's kid screaming. To
avoid this problem, I'd like to change the frequency of the channels
so it doesn't clash with other units. Anyone out there know how to do
that?  Also, if anyone knows how to increase the power of the
transmitter a bit, that would be of interest.

Please reply by email, as I don't follow these newsgroups.

Thanks.

Hurricane Andrew (25.4 N, 77.3 W at 0000Z, August 24, Winds to 145
mph) is expected to hit the southeastern Florida coast near dawn
monday.  Amateurs are advised to monitor the Hurricane Watch Net frequency
14.325 MHz, International Assistance and Traffic Net on 14.303 MHz,
and Florida emergency nets on 3940, 3950 and 7247 khz, but to not
transmit on these frequencies except in response to instructions net
control stations.  An additional net is convened on 14.268 mhz by
United Nations HQ station 4U1UN, and is receiving reports from
affected areas.
 
Welfare inquiry traffic should not be accepted from the public until
authorities in the affected areas indicate they are able to process
inquiries.  Priority must be given to immediate disaster relief
communications.  Control of the communication situation lies with
the amateurs and authorities in the affected areas.

Your radio is broken? Yes that's it, your radio is broken. :-)

This isn't normal operation for the 470. It sounds like an internal
oscillation. The radio actually powers down the band that is turned
off. So if you can listen to either band without the problem, but
the problem shows up with both radio sections powered, this may be
a clue. What happens when you transmit? Does that even work anymore?
And if it does, do you get reports of lousy audio? You may have a
problem with the power regulation circuit.

fastest solution is to get your technician ham license.  drop your US mail 
address to lhurder@arrl.org and ask for the ARRL's Prospective Ham Package.
the run down to radio shack and pick up a copy of "Now You're Talking" - 
that's the study guide for the Technician amateur radio license.

There's no Morse Code skill requirement for this license.  You will need to 
pass the Novice and Technician class written examinations at an exam.  Later 
you can come back and upgrade to the General, Advanced or Amateur Extra class 
licenses when you want to use the shortwave amateur bands.

getting your ham license bypasses all the legal questions about non-ham to 
ham messages sent by other hams (3rd party traffic) that some countries get 
all tied up in knots worrying about, too.

   In my local area are:
	   Channel 56 (Independent, Boston)
	   Channel 60 (Independent, Merrimack, NH)
	   Channel 66 (Independent (home shopping), Lawrence*, MA)
	   Channel 68 (Monitor channel [for now], Boston)

   *Or Framingham, I forget

The transmitter for 66 is in Hudson/Marlboro towards Sudbury.  It's a
*big* tower.  The studio for V66 was in the ugly pink art-deco
building near Speen street and the Mass pike in Natick.  I don't know
where the local HSC "studio" but I have seen some Marlboro "community"
programming on it so thats a good guess.
