Im looking for a skull construction trancievers (the type that works 
completely through your ears both for hearing and speaking).  

I heard the one at Radio Shack really sucks.  I tried it, (just put the ear 
piece in my ear and it seemed really uncomfortable too).  Does anyone
know who else carries these types of tracievers.  Im specifically interested
in the type with the earpiece that fits inside the ear and the wire goes around
and above your earlobe and down...I don't think Im explaining this too well.
I mean I especially want the type with the earpieces that look like the
ones that look kind of like those used by the secret service and such.  The
reason being, I want to wear my motorcycle helmet over it, and if the earpiecve
sticks out like the readio shack one, I can't wear my helmet (for a motorcycle)
over my head without getting a real bad ear-ache after a while.  If those
with the earpiece that looks like the ones used by secret service is not
available or too expensive anything will do.  

if anyone knows, please email me at c60c-3gi@web.berkley.edu

all and any info greatly appreciated.  thanks in advance.  :)

$150 is pretty low.   That is at the very low end of SSB-capable radios
that are on sale.  I think Radio Shack was discontinuing a radio
and was selling it at about that price a few months ago.  All of the
SSB-capable radios have digital tuning.  There are a few AM-only
radios that have digital tuning too, so be careful ... look for the
"SSB" or "CW" swtich on the radio.

You may want to post your article on rec.radio.swap.  Maybe someone
is willing to sell you a used one.  The Radio Shack DX-302, DX-400, and DX-440
are good radios that you should be able to buy for under $100.   Avoid the
DX-300.  You definately want one that has digital tuning.

There aren't too many radios in your price range that cover SW
and VHF.  The ones that do are cheap general coverage radios that
don't have SSB.

You can always use an inexpensive SSB-capable receiver as a spare rig 
for ham use.   However, their sensitivity (ability to receive weak
signals)  is usually not that good.  The radio will be useful to help you
learn about ham radio while you study for your license.  A good
way to learn morse code is to copy actual on-the-air stations.

You may want to try your post on rec.radio.shortwave.

I currently have a copy of your HamCom terminal for the IBM. The CW mode works 
great, but I am having trouble with RTTY/Baudot. It seems that your interface 
wants clean (no noise) RTTY, this could only be accomplished by filtering out 
everything except the tone bursts. So, why don't you have the software make a 
digital filter, your interface allows you to that. This way, the user can
block certain frequencies and leave others open. I am using the interface
supplied with the HamCom online help and is directly out of the reciever. I am 
using HamCom v2.1. Is it the noise, or am I doing something incorrectly? Also, 
the scope feature works great!

Andy,
You forget to mention that the reason there haven't been any meetings recently
is that the meeting place used for years is no longer available to TSARC.
Why, I don't know, but don't be too quick to place blame on the new officers.

The last regime had it's problems too.  Look at the 440 MHz coordination mess
in which the coordinator very rarely ever took time to respond to people
asking for coordination.

Admittedly you are correct about needing the right people:  people who want
to do work, not those who like to have "power" as an officer of a coordinating
body.  Just don't brag that the old officers were any better than the current.
Remember, the old TSARC president also had a reputation of not responding
to correspondence and phone calls too.

I agree completely.  Not only does the 100 watt limit give you a fighting
chance, but I have found that there's always someone listening.  The band
can be free of noise and sound completely dead, but you call CQ and someone
is listening for you.

I'm truly confused, while I've been a ham for many years I only returned
to the hobby a couple of years ago, hence I missed the start-up and
growth of repeater activity (I do have a 2m HT that I use in a mobile
mode now.)  This discussion centers on closed repeaters, but what or how
is the closed nature of a particular repeater enforced?  If the poster above
was just talking with his friend on simplex (no PL or CTSCC) how would
his transmissions "get into the repeater"?  It seems to me that one
needs to have some type of coding (PL or CTSCC) to ensure some degree
"discrimination" to distinguis the "allowed users" of a closed system
from those that aren't allowed.  

So, how is the closed nature of a particular repeater enforced?

the best (with a lot of sunspots): 10m, when 40mW into a wet string

The WARC bands are a bit quieter than the "regular" bands and are a good bet.

Clever operating techniques work well to: get in before the band opens 
to the location you want then move on when everyone else notices its open.

Assuming that every new Toyota includes such a disclaimer statement.  
Wouldn't it be fun to go to a Toyota dealer, negotiate a price, and then
say..."Oh, is it true that I your winer's manuals all say.....require
permission from Toyota to ensure the warranty...before installing any
transmitter..."  Now the salesdroid would have to check it out,
but even if they said no, I'd ask to see a manual and then say, no
I can't risk buying a Toyota necause even if you approve the transmitter
I own now, I don't want to be forced to get your approval just to install
a different transmitter in 6 months from now.

If Toyota salesman hear some of that, the pressure can become pretty
intense on the factory.

Anyoine know if there are any other such manufacturer's stipulations
against transmitters in their vehicle product line.  This might be a
good "consumer report" item that ARRL should write-up for a future QST
issue.

>Listeners have no control of spectrum and can't use it up by listening.
>Only transmitters in active transmission use up spectrum.

I thought someone would bite on that point.

You see, if one person is listening to a frequency ("guarding the
channel" in officialspeak), it is in use.  Clearly not as much in use as
if someone is actively talking on it, but more so than if no one is
listening at all.  By way of example: If you were to pop up on
10 meters and ask 'is this channel in use' and someone replies 'yes',
you're going to regard that channel as occupied, even if no one is
actively in conversation.  He's listening for a scheduled call, perhaps.
Sure, you can go ahead and transmit there, but it's not polite to do so.

So it's a question of courtesy.  Sure, you could clank your box on the
same frequencies that my closed repeater (actually, a remote) shares
with its neighbors, and fire up your system.  It would be terribly
impolite to do so, and unless you had a really good reason for doing
so, you'd be heavily chastised by the ham community.

But there is no need for you to do so if you're just looking for a
place to chat on 440.  Fact is that even here in SoCal, where 440 is
pretty much exclusively private systems, there are several OPEN 440
repeaters, few of which receive even as much use a two or three
conversations a day.

There is no shortage of open repeater facilities available to the
ham who wants to talk on a 440 repeater.  What there is a shortage
of is channels to place NEW repeaters on.

So, would you have the frequency coordinator throw private systems off
the band when the public (open) machines aren't being used much?  I
don't think that's efficient use of spectrum either.

I don't believe there are many "paper repeaters" here in SoCal; it's
the policy of the coordinating committee that you have to have the
machine up and running before your coordination is finalized.  It mostly
seems to work that way.  (Yeah, there's probably a few exceptions. So?)

Remember, if you can't key up a system, that doesn't mean it's not
there.  It's almost certainly PL'd, it probably uses an uncommon tone,
and may even be using DPL.  A number of private systems here in SoCal
do use DPL precisely to cut down on the number of visitors.

Were you to show up on my system whilst visiting San Diego, probably
you'd be greeted, and after some brief conversation, I'd suggest we
switch over to one of the open systems to continue the conversation.
At least, that's what I've done in the past.

I do agree with this, but I also think that it's in poor taste to use a
repeater without offering something to the owner of the repeater.  Maybe not
anything big, but let him know that you are willing to help with the thing,
even if it's just to the point of climbing the tower to check connections 
now and then.  Help spread the load.

I disagree.  People have been using dipoles without baluns for years.
Occasionally you do run into a problem if you happen to end up with
