I was pleased to see signs along the interstate through (I believe it was)
Massachussetts indicating that someone with some sort of emergency services
organization monitored 146.52 - it didn't say anything else (except I think
there may have been a call sign given as well), so I wonder what non-hams

The problem is not the specific word, Tom, but what it represents.
If someone regularly says "guys" when referring to a group of men and women,
I certainly have no problem with that. Apparently it is used that way in
some parts of the country, but not others.

It is too late now, but I really wish I could have found out what
people were visualizing when they saw the call: "C'mon, guys, organize
a fox hunt at your club and send in some photos." If you can honestly
tell me that, before the comments started appearing about "guys," you
would have visualized a group of hams that included women, I would really
be happy to hear that. But I'd wager otherwise.

What I would like is that when people think of ham-radio operators,
they don't only think of the OMs.  

You're tired of political correctness? Well, I got tired of people
assuming that I had a novice or technician license only, when both my
husband and I had novice calls and general licenses; few people made the
same assumption about my husband. And occasionally it gets on my nerves
when I'm asked how my husband got me interested in ham radio (he didn't;
we got our licenses together, at the same time). And I got extremely
ticked off recently when a ham at a tower-starting party suggested that
perhaps I'd like to do the cooking that afternoon instead of working on
the foundation.
 
And, no, I don't get offended if someone refers to me on the air
as either a "YL" or "XYL."

Yes.  Recall that UHF TV tuners are generally _continuously_ tunable (you
don't have to stick to the officially designated channels).
So you simply tune the TV until a cellular phone signal falls in the audio
portion of the channel that the TV is tuned to.  The screen shows random
flickering or snow.

Cellular phones use simple narrow-band FM, and that's precisely the problem
with them.  Narrow-band FM is used for TV sound, ham radio, public service
radio, and a _lot_ of other things.

The reason FM is preferred in 2-way radio communications (including cellular)
is that the strength of the signal doesn't affect the loudness or quality of
the sound.  If you're within range, you hear it clearly, and that's that.

After having worked for a Japanese company for four years, you learn some

	Also, most people in LA never talk to me on repeaters. I think
they didn't go to school with me, so can't talk to me or some other

talk to me, are happy to talk about me - the next best thing.

Lots of help already posted on finding analog filters of various sorts.  
I've also found surplus crystal filters from telemetry equipment in that
freq range.  I assume you don't have to have it _exactly_ 455 if you are
building your own.

Another thought:  How about running a nominally-455kHz IF, with a decent
LC filter about 25 or 50kHz wide?  Then digitize the output to 14 or
16 bits and use digital filtering on it.  That way, you can play with
all sorts of different filter shapes with "only" software changes. 
You could even play with neat things like digital automatic fine
tuning on SSB signals if you got adventurous!

I'll try to explain more clearly.  The tech tried to call Kenwood's line
for dedicated dealer support when HE had the radio (approx. 1 month).  This 
line is for dealers to get technical help when repairing Kenwood equipment.  
In other words, the dealer gets lousy service too!  The additional 1 1/2
months (for a total of 2 1/2) is how long Kenwood had it when the dealer
realized he wasn't getting anywhere trying to fix it with support from
Kenwood.

>I am not telling you to be happy or anything like that.  All I am saying is
>that Kenwood has always helped me on a timely basis whenever I have called.

That's not all you said.  You implied I was whining because Kenwood didn't
"drop everything their doing" and work on our radio.  I, and the rest of
the club, took the 2 1/2 month wait in stride, which is probably nicer than
we should be.  The attitude didn't develop until we got it back and it
still had the same problem IN ADDITION TO THE INTERNAL SPEAKER NO LONGER
WORKING!  Their paperwork said they aligned and tested it.  How good could
the test have been if the speaker doesn't even work?  Don't tell me they
probably use an external speaker at the bench because that doesn't work
either.  You can only get audio from the headphone jack.

>It sounds like the repair center you sent your radio to (the dealer) didn't
>have enough incentive to try to contact Kenwood.

Hellooooo.  McFly!!!!  Are you listening?  My original post said he left
3-4 voice mail messages at the support line and then found out the
supervisor of the person he was calling to escalate things.  What did he
get?  The supervisor's voice mail.  AND HE STILL DIDN'T GET CALLED BACK!
Let the ball drop?!?!?!  How hard should someone have to try to get
service?

I'm an understanding person who doesn't expect the company I buy something
from to kiss my ass.  I just expect to get decent service and not be taken
advantage of.  Is that too much to ask?  Of course, with enough sheep out
there to pluck, why should they bother with someone who expects their
money's worth?

One of the out of band mods for the kenwood 741 involves removing
R54 and 55 located on the display. These are actually 0 ohm
resistors that ground two of the processors IRQs.

Looking at the schematic there are two more resistors, R56
and R57 that ground the other two IRQs.

Has anyone tried removing the other two?

If so what does this do?

I have had a 767 since 1987.  Its strongpoints are that it provides coverage of
every ham band from 160 meters to 70 cm in all modes, it has most of the bells
and whistles available for both receive and transmit, and it makes an
outstanding
SWL receiver.  Its bad points are only ten memories, very slow response to
remote computer control, and inability to do cross-band scanning due to band-
switching time (mostly antenna retuning). 

If I had to select a new transceiver today I would probably still get a 767
because of the VHF and UHF features, altho for HF only some of the newer
radios provide better features.
