  I'm new to this field so If anyone could ditto that to the Buffalo area,
I would appreciate it. Also, I am getting into electronics via a friend,
EE student, and I would like to know if it's worth the time to find the
specs to a BASIC radio reciever/transmitter so that I can kill two birds
with one stone. One birdy being my involvement in radio and the other in
learning electronics.
Thanks

I sure this has been hacked out on the net before, but this is a new
interest area for me.

The time has finally come for me to buy an HT.  Afterall I do need something
to get talked-in to the swapmeets where I can buy parts for my HF boat anchors,
right? :-)

After doing some thinking and reading recent reviews in the magazines, I came up
with a set of requirments and nice-to-haves.

  1.  Requirement : Rx and Tx coverage of all of 2m (I think they all do that, right?)

  2.  Requirement : Rx capability in the aviation bands.  (I about broke my neck
      at the Reno Airshow trying to listen to the cockpit converations on the
      aviation ht owned by the guy behind me)

  3.  Requirement : Scanning.  Funny story:  I was playing with a friends two
      meter HT with scan and I found a college football coaches frequency.
      Interesting (profane) stuff.  Came home and bought a scanner.  It was
      also a lot of fun listening to the Amtrak crew on my recent train trip.

  4.  Nice-to-have:  Tx and Rx in marine bands.   No flames please.  I sail. Its not 
      illegal if I don't emit and if I do have to emit, I'll be more than happy 
      to tell it to the judge afterwards.  (I do have a marine vhf)

  5.  Nice-to-have: DTMF, CTCSS and all the other initials.  Might be fun, but
      this is not my primary operating mode, its not all the important to me.

Any comments (not flames) on the requirements?

Any make and model suggestions?  I've seen and old kenwood I like but....

New and used suggestions (I prefer used, I don't want to tie a whole lot money 
up in a secondary operating mode) are both welcome.  I also wouldn't mind 
street pricing information.

Many thanks for your time and patience.

Has anyone ever connected a SWAN 508 External VFO to a SWAN 500?  
Apparently the SWAN 508 may be directly connected to a SWAN 500C.
The 500C is a later version of the 500.  The VFO section of the two
transceivers is different.  My experimenting shows that the two are vary 
simular but I am not able to tune the Ext. VFO to exactly match the internal
VFO of the SWAN 500.  If some one has gone through this before and can give
me some help I would be vary greatful.

Thanks in advance.

A question:

When you read the specification of a valve amplifier, ratings are given for CW and
PEP. CW is lower than PEP because of tube dissipation etc etc. What I want to do is
make a CW measurement of maximum output on a single 4CX250B amplifier I have built,
and relate that to the PEP output. Tube dissipation is not the limit here, as the
CW measurement only lasts a few seconds, it is more to do with PSU EHT drop and
screen current. I estimate an EHT regulation of 10% (or better), and wish to avoid
frying the screen grid.

The only reference to an amateur radio telescope that I have ever seen
was in "Sky and Telescope" many years ago.  As I recall, it was a 40m
dipole mounted close to the ground (what hams call a skywarmer
configuration -- it receives and transmits mostly up) and it was
capable of detecting the radiation from Jupiter.

The main difficulty with amateur attempts to "tune in the Universe" is
beamwidth.  A 10 foot (3 meter) dish is about all the average amateur
can manage.  At 23 cm, this is still only a few wavelengths in
diameter so the resolution is poor (due to large beamwidth).

There are a few amateur installations capable of doing better than
this, but I've never heard of one being used as a radio telescope.

There has been some friendly debate around here concerning whether
a well grounded metal tower makes it more or less likely to
suffer lightning strikes.  There is no argument that a well
grounded tower would reduce the damage once lightning did strike.
The prevailing opinion of some of the experienced oldtimers is that
a well grounded tower "makes the tower invisible to lightning".  I,
myself think that a well grounded tower would be a much shorter path
to ground, and thus much more likely to attract lightening.
I'm not sure how this relates to a fiberglass tower, since you will
surely want to ground the hardware at the top, and while grounding
will be a simpler proposition, it intuitively seems that it wouldn't
be as effective since even though the main path is supposed to be
through the grounding cable, I have to think that the metal structure
contributes to the overall conductivity in a major way.
   So I have no answers, I just wanted to make sure that the theoretical
types who answer this address the question of liklihood of lightening
strikes.  This will probably also bring back the debate of a few
years ago regarding whether a true ground was requirred at the
coax, or whether a relative ground was satisfactory.  I never did pick
up the final concensus of that discussion.

There is no restriction on a foriegn amateur obtaining a US license.  If
there is no reciprical agreement, then you can apply for and obtain a
US license.  Again, ARRL at 225 N. Main St., Newington, CT 06111 would
be able to assist you in contacting the volunteer examiner organization.
