Subject: ADDS Terminal Info Wanted
Date: 29 Jul 92 13:06:45 GMT
Organization: UCSD Usenet Gateway
NNTP-Posting-Host: ucsd.edu


        I recently came into a dumb terminal made by Applied Digital Data 
        Systems, model VPT A1, T/A 518-001018 (whatever T/A is).  It also 
        says ViewPoint on the keyboard.  It appears to be a  simple  dumb 
        terminal,  has  a  printer  port and RS-232 port on the back, the 
        keyboard plugs in via a short cord that looks  like  a  telephone 
        handset  cord.   I  was  told  it  was operating at 300 baud, but 
        should be changeable.  There is an eight position   DIP switch on 
        the back.
 
        What  I  need  is what the DIP switch does, what the settings may 
        be, i.e.  baud,  number  of  pits,  parity,  etc.   Any  possible 
        terminal  commands,  such  as  clear  screen, program of function 
        keys, printer on/off, etc.  And what terminal  emulation  it  may 
        be, VT-100, H-19, VT-52, etc.
 
        Any  help  will  be greatly appreciated. I would like to get this 
        thing up on packet.  Please E-mail responses as  I  don't  always 
        get  this  newsgroup  or  have time to read all the messages that 
        come through.
 
        Thanks and 73,

INTERESTING question, one which I wonder about, too.  Since PRB-1 really
cannot affect AGREEMENTS (and deed restrictions are looked upon as if they
are agreements) as you mention, just how far can a deed restriction
affect your federal rights or privileges?  Theoretically, you and I can
agree to give up all sorts of federal rights or privileges by contract,
but how far will a Court go in enforcing such restrictions (especially
when you have very little real "choice" in "negotiating" such an
agreement....you have to take it or leave it.)

I frequently run into hams who have the restriction on all outside (visible)
antennas, and I advise them to negotiate...and if there is complete failure,
the alternative is to run an indoor antenna and to raise the power output
(increasing RFI and defeating the purpose of the restriction anyway....)
based upon their federal license to operate amateur equipment - which the
local government cannot restrict.  But, suppose that the deed restrictions
got so oppressive that they prohibited operating amateur equipment on the
premises, what would a Court say to that?

Does anyone have legal contact with the problem?  I am so darned busy trying
to get a Ph.D. here that I do not have the research time I used to devote
to such questions.  Anyone have clues to cases that deal with similar
questions?

If you are walking down the street yappin on your HT to your buddy AB4YZ and some kid 
runs by and screams at his amigo "F**k you !%&%^%$^" and your mike, being so sensitive,
picks this up and transmits this profanity to the world, including your friendly FCC
monitoring station down the street, are you telling me that, by your simplistic way of
reading the rule book, you'd pay the fine and go to jail since it was your call that
the friendly FCC monitor wrote down?????
Or lets say that the same kid does not yell out a profanity but walks by with his
boombox blasting and your conversation has "Santana" playing in the backround over the
airwaves, what then???

I don't see any room for interpretation on these, do you?

Maybe it is a ploy to bring in more revenue.  If they have too many
life members, they may not be getting in enough yearly income per
member.  I can see it now:  "I'm sorry, but you were a life member
of the ARRL which is now defunct. We are the AARL.  If you want to

Unforunately, my library doesn't think enough of amateur radio to have

If someone has the power mod for the 2510 transcribed, please mail me a

Most cell systems route you to a central dispatch center that will ask
what county you are calling from and transfer your call to the correct
agency. The few that don't should have the wrath of the Public Service
Commission brought down on them. On BellSouth systems 911 is always a
free call, even for units that are deliquent in their bills and have
had their regular service disconnected.

On the other hand, dialing 911 via an autopatch will often result in
emergency response units being sent to the *repeater* location. Even
if you explain to the dim bulb answering the phone that you are calling
from a mobile unit, they will still push the button that transfers the
location information to the police or fire department. That information
is the *repeater's* address. Then the repeater *trustee* starts getting
$100 fines for false emergency calls and discontinues autopatch service.

Hold it!  Put down the flame thrower!

Now, I read the FAQ, checked with ARCHIE and FTP'd every copy of *97* I could
find.  Some are .TXT, some .ARC, some .ZIP, some have DOS CR-LF combos, some
have UNIX style LF's.  But they all appear to be the same version.

Granted when two sites had files with the same name, date and file size, I
didn't bother to get them both, but, all of the ones I did find a) matched,
b) date back to about 1988, c) had:

        SUBPART E       Prohibited Practices  [[goes here]]

where 97.108 - 97.160 would be, d) had no mention of the Tech without HF, and
e) still list the old 220 Band.

Hence, the question: Is there a recent and complete Part 97 text online?

OK, if I missed something or did something stupid, NOW you can flame me.
But do it via email, please.  I get more that way and it saves bandwidth. ;-)

SB QST ARL ARLB069
ARLB069 NOVICE CHANGES PROPOSED

THE FCC HAS ISSUED A NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE MAKING IN PR DOCKET
92-154 THAT WOULD REQUIRE NOVICE CLASS LICENSE EXAMINATIONS TO BE
ADMINISTERED BY THE VOLUNTEER EXAMINER PROGRAM, WHICH NOW
ADMINISTERS ALL OTHER LICENSE CLASS EXAMINATIONS.  THE PLAN IS
ESSENTIALLY AS PROPOSED BY THE ARRL AND W5YI VOLUNTEER EXAMINER
COORDINATORS AND DESCRIBED IN APRIL 1992 QST, PAGE 63.

THE FCC'S NPRM NOTES THAT THE CODELESS TECHNICIAN CLASS IS NOW THE
ENTRY-LEVEL LICENSE OF CHOICE OVER THE NOVICE CLASS, THAT THE FCC IS
BURDENED BY AN APPLICATION ERROR RATE OF 9.4 PERCENT FOR NOVICES AS
COMPARED TO ONLY 0.8 PERCENT FOR VE-ADMINISTERED EXAMINATIONS, AND
THAT NO PASS-VERSUS-FAIL RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE FROM NOVICE
EXAMINATIONS, AS THEY ARE FOR VE-ADMINISTERED EXAMS.

THE FCC BELIEVES BRINGING NOVICE EXAMS UNDER THE VEC SYSTEM WOULD BE
IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, SAYING THE VEC SYSTEM ''HAS DEMONSTRATED
BOTH ITS EFFICIENCY AND ITS INTEGRITY. WE CONCLUDE THAT NOVICE CLASS
AMATEUR OPERATOR EXAMINATIONS WOULD BENEFIT FROM THOSE SAME TWO
VIRTUES.''

OPPOSITION TO THIS PLAN HAS BEEN PRIMARILY A CONCERN THAT NOVICE
EXAMS WOULD NOT BE AS READILY AVAILABLE, ESPECIALLY IN SPARSELY
POPULATED AREAS OF THE COUNTRY.  THE LEAGUE'S RESPONSE WAS THAT THE
EXPLOSION IN NEW TECHNICIAN CLASS LICENSEES SINCE THE ADVENT OF THE
CODELESS TECHNICIAN CLASS IN APRIL 1991 WOULD INDICATE THAT VE
EXAMINATIONS ARE READILY AVAILABLE IN MOST AREAS.  THE FCC NPRM DID
NOT DIRECTLY ADDRESS THIS QUESTION, ALTHOUGH ALLUDED TO IT IN NOTING
THAT THE NOVICE IS NO LONGER THE PREPONDERANT FIRST LICENSE.

THE COMMENT DEADLINE IS OCTOBER 9, 1992.  REPLY COMMENT DEADLINE IS
NOVEMBER 9, 1992.

uh-oh, here we go again.....

I'll limit my response to this to one short bit:  the people who say that
are the same people who say that if someone is bleeding to death on the
side of the road that you can't call an ambulance or the police, since it
supports their business....keep that in mind.  I'd go with the ARRL pub,
myself, considering that being stranded on the highway *IS* potentially
dangerous (possibly very much so, depending on the road).

A third alternative is to use the car radio antenna.  I built a
relay box with a matching network built in for each of 3 ham bands
(144/220/440 MHz).  The relays switch in the proper network automatically
when you change bands on the radio.  (TTL outputs available on the
rig, a Drake UV-3).  When you turn the ham rig off, the antenna
switches back to AM/FM broadcast.

The radio is mounted in the trunk next to the antenna, and the control
head is in the glove box.  With the glove box door closed, there is
no visible evidence of a 2-way radio in the car.

An intersting point.  The new edition of the Callsign Database,
which was apparently last updated on July 10, 1992, has nearly
30,000 more calls than the previous edition of November 25, 1991.
