=======================================================================
 Radio and (mostly) TV tubes.

 Approximately 43,000 (forty-three thousand).

 These are New, unused, in their original cartons.

 The part-number/quantities list is 18 pages long ...

 - If you're local to Toronto, I will FAX the list to you. BBS/Email
   your fax number to me, or call (416) 531-3344 and leave a message
   (please wait a few seconds after the beep, then speak slowly!)

   or...

 - Send me a BBS/Email message, asking me about specific part numbers
   that you're interested in.  I'll check the list and let you know by
   return message.  (I am _not_ familiar with tube technology.)

   or...

 - By mail: It could cost me as much as 25-cents per page to copy
   the list, so if you want the entire list mailed, you must send $5
   (cheque,cash,or stamps) to cover my photocopy and mailing costs.


 Once you've studied the list, you'll know if they are what you need,
 and will be able to make an appropriate offer.

 What's the "fine print?" ...

 - I will *not* sell off bits and pieces.  The buyer must take all
   43000 of them - lock, stock, and barrel.

 - They must be picked up: You'll need a van, or make multiple trips
   in roomy car.  I *might* be willing to pack them up and send them
   collect C.O.D, F.O.B Toronto.  Talk to me.

 - These *are* new, but are offered "as is," without warranty (I'm
   not in the tube/radio/tv/repair business).

 * most of these are old TV tubes, so I don't expect much.

 I inherited these via a death in the family, from a relative who was
 in the TV/Radio repair business for many years (Century TV).  These
 tubes are of no use to me, so I wish to liquidate them ASAP, without
 incurring any expense in doing so.

 Some of these may be rare or hard-to-find items.  If you know anyone
 in the Radio/TV repair business, please pass this note along to them.

I have had my DJ-580T for about a month now.  At the hamfest in Austin, 
a friend and I used a simplex channel with PL tones.  It worked fine there.
The local repeater I use here in DFW also uses PL for access.  It also 
works fine there.  

It seems to me that you might have a broken unit.  Is it possible you can
still return it for a new one?

I have a PacComm TNC-220 TNC for sale for $85 plus shipping.  It

The TNC-220 has two radio ports, software selectable (but not
simultaneously).  The modem supports both HF and VHF tones.  It is <not>
a TNC2 clone, and the standard NetRom/TheNet etc. firmware will <not>
work in it.

From the user's perspective, though, the command set is almost identical
to the TNC2.  It includes KISS mode and a personal mailbox system.


This TNC is cosmetically good and works fine.  Reason for sale: it's
redundant in my shack, and I'm trying to fund some more high-speed

We *routinely* handle megabyte sized files in our 56 kb MAN. For national
and international traffic, I agree that the phone network is best. And 
even for MAN sized networks, if you have a large free calling area, 
like Atlanta does, the largest in the world, the phone is still better.

This is basically true, alas, the ham network has nothing equivalent
to a Trailblazer Plus off the shelf. And the ham network can't approach
the phone network in connectivity. Content restrictions are also a
major impediment as are third party rules on international circuits.

The ham network is more than a toy, compared to other messaging
networks in amateur radio, but it is still a toy compared to the
commercial systems. Still, the Apple II was just a toy compared
to a Cray, yet useful things were done with them.

  It does (efficiency and all that), but it's a small price to pay for the

I have a friend who makes frequent trips to the UK.  While there, he needs to be
 able to run a 12v TV and Camcorder in the house, not just in the car.  He needs
 something that will supply at least 3.5 amps.  I think 5 amps would be a
 comfortable margin.  He is not really technical enough to build one, especially
 to withstand the rigours of travel.
Looking round the Ham stores here, I've seen various switching supplies, by
 Astron and others, that will do the job for about $40-50 - from 110v ac.  The
 cheapest for a 240v model is $90, and is beefier than he needs - 12amps.
What do hams in the UK do for medium-duty power supplies?
If anyone can give me pointers to stores and/or prices in the UK for this stuff,
 I would be very grateful.

One of the major advantages of the R7 is supposed to be that
it doesn't require an antenna tuner.  However, looking at these
SWR numbers, I would say that it certainly does require one.  The
bandwidth on 30m and 40m is particularly bad. (as expected)  I would
not operate on the CW portion of 40m with that high an SWR.

Before I shell out $400 for one of these things, I would really
like to see someone post a comparison of the R7 against:

1) A simple vertical 22-foot piece of aluminum tubing with an
antenna tuner and several short radial wires.  (This would
not require much room)

2) A dipole mounted in an inverted-V.  (which would not
take up much room)

A fair test would be on 40m, 20m, and 15m, NOT 10m.  I hear a 
lot of people say great things about the R7 on 10m, but
when 10m is open, any antenna works great.

If you read between the lines of this month's QST article, 
you will see that a dipole actually works better, especially
on 40m.

I'll spend my $400 on something else.

I have a Ten-Tec 3100 - 75 mobile antenna for 75 meters.  It has not been
used recently and I seem to have lost the instructions since the last time
it was in service.  There is a capacitor that is put in line between the
antenna and the coax.  I am looking for someone that can tell me what size?

Tnx for any assistance.
