Date: 21 Dec 92 10:06:29 CST
Organization: Stephen F. Austin State University

Looking for a stand-alone CW (ONLY) transmitter, around 100 watts
input, with VFO control. Would like to cover CW portions of
40 and 20, at least. Needs to be in good working order, but
archaic boat anchors OK. Will pay reasonable price, plus shipping.
   Also looking for electronic keyer, including paddles,
to accompany above. 
   Will be grateful if you'd dust off that old Viking or Johnson
in the back of the shack and give me a shout. 
   Thanks! 73! Jim Speer, K5YUT.

Looking for a power supply for the National NCX-5 Transceiver,
Either the NCX-A 115/230 volt A.C. or the National 12 volt D.C.
power supply would do.  Preferably in working order, but will
take one in almost any condition.  I think the D.C. supply was

of these may be found please email me.
Thanx in advance.

Organization: Iowa State University, Ames, IA
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1992 10:58:05 GMT


As the subject states, I have a BC-72 charger for sale. This unit is in like
new condition and cost me $98 after quite a bit of haggeling with vendors at a
hamfest. Less than a few months old and hardly used, I have realised that I do
not use my radio enough portable to really justify this charger. If you are
intrested please reply, and we can work out a price.

For those who are not familar with this unit:

Icom BC-72 Drop in quick charger.

Charges all S-series batterys but the BP-90 AA battery case. S-series radios
include the SA/SAT/W2A/W4A/X2A/X4A/SRA/24AT. The SA/SAT radios need a charge
adaptor to charge the internal NiCad's. I have such a unit if you are
intrested. 

This is a quick charger. Will fully charge any battery with drop-in terminals
in about an hour. This includes most 3rd party 'super' packs as well. After
charging the BC-72 places itself in a trickle charge mode. While this works
well I advise removing the battery/radio from the charger after the charging
cycle is done. Also, the radio can not and should not be operated while in the
charger.

Summary: Need mods to extend coverage of Kenwood TH-55A

I own a Kenwood TH-55A handheld, which is a 1.2GHz radio.  It currently
covers down to 1258MHz; I need it to cover all the way down to 1250.
I need to learn which zero-ohm resistor changes will do this.  I have a
service manual and full schematics, plus someone who's a pro at handling
surface-mount stuff, so just a list of what needs to be done is all I
need to have.

The aggravating thing is that one thing we tried did indeed open up the
coverage, but it changed the repeater offset from 12MHz to 20MHz!  After
we changed it back, I learned that it is supposedly possible to reset the
repeater offset by means of some hidden sequence of button presses plus
cycling power.  This information, too, would be very useful!

Most radio mods are easy to find on the Internet, given the various ham-
related FTP archives plus "archie".  I've sure come up a blank on this one.

Admittedly 1.2GHz is rare stuff, but SOMEBODY out there must know! Please?

There have been repeaters in Southern California since before the ARRL
even heard of them, so there's some long history here.  Traditionally, the
440 band is where the private systems exist, with the 10m, 6m, 2m, 220, and
1296 MHz bands tending more towards open systems.  It's not a lot
different in other parts of the country.

The simple way to avoid being angered by this is to not buy a 440 radio
until you're invited on one of the private systems.

Think of it this way: if you were to buy a trout fishing outfit and
then found out that you weren't allowed to fish for trout in the local
lake, whose fault would it be?  And if you buy a radio without first
inquiring of your local operating situation, who do you have to blame
if you can't use it much?

The FCC recognizes the right of private and closed systems to exist,
and has so far resisted the occasional pressure to socialize all
repeaters.  Thus we have a mixture of open, closed (members only, but
you can join), and private (by invitation only) systems.  It's the
American way, and in general, it seems to work well.
