This thread makes me sad.

Most of the flaming seems to be directed at the legalities of 
transmitting on repeater outputs, and that this was all started by a 
European amateur who was pleading for assistance with a government 
take-over of some 430Mhz space. Rather than address the real issue, and 
try to arrive at some workable solution, in the US or elsewhere, what I 
would have hoped to be reasonable people with an eye to the future (of 
the hobby) have flamed incessantly aboput lawsuits, legailities, and 
court expenses.
In rec.radio.amateur.misc:
        42 messages mention "sue" 56 times
        11 messages mention "court" 15 times
        5 messages mention "lawsuit" 8 times...

Children, if you can't play together and get along, Uncle Sammy will 
take away *ALL* the fun toys and give them to someone who is willing to 
PAY to use them...

Negotiate, gentlepeople. There are solutions that require some give, and 
some take. Our Constitution protects our basic rights, but assumes 
reasonability -- perhaps the main "flaw"? I think not. But, when one is
attempting to make a situation work for many users, i.e., the amateur 
frequency allocations and band plans, everyone must not view the 
struggle as WIN-LOSE, but as WIN-WIN in the long run...or you must 
recognize the consequences to all of us.

It's probably worth more than that, even. Here, in Canada, we pay $26 per

Too bad, Peter, that you don't know the facts.  The fee collected is a *TEST
FEE*, not a license fee.  The full amount, less necessary and prudent expenses,
is forwarded by the VEs to the VEC.  THE TESTING VEs ARE PAID NOTHING and to
imply otherwise alleges violation of the FCC's rules.

As for the FCC not being paid .... hard to believe they aren't mentioned in the
Federal Budget.

Crossband repeat:  hold the RPT button down with the transciever
off; keep holding while truning on the power.  This toggles the
crossband function every time you do this step.

Display dimmer:  Automatic: yuck.  Hold the MHz while powering up.
Press the function button once.  The freq knob now adjusts the
brightness.  Press the function button again to lock in the
setting.  Pressing the function button once again any time later,
then twisting the freq know allows adjustment as above.  Repeat
power up sequence to toggle back to auto.  It's in the manual, but
the explanation is murky.

I bought one these very things at Radio Hack.  And I think it was

At the local "real" electronics store they had a thing that looked 
like a gooseneck lamp with a BMF spring clip where the light fixture
would be.  It looked real useful but they wanted some outrageous
price (like $29.95) for it.

Magnetrons are seriously noisy in both frequency and in amplitude.  The power
supplies in the ovens are typically 1/2 wave rectified and unfiltered.
About all that magnetrons are good for is heating and high power pulse
emissions such as radar.

I've run counties a few times on the MARAC net on 14.336.  The conventions
they use are kind of silly, but it's an enjoyable way to pass interstate
driving hours, so I'm not complaining.

Here's what I've heard used there:

59 -- Maximum   (shouldn't have to use that)
57
55 -- Nickels or speed limit
33 -- Triplets
22 -- Minimum

I think that 90% or reports are just these five RST's with an occasional
56 or 58 thrown in.

Just for completeness sake, I'll throw in some more information about
the 14336 net.  All contacts on that net are monitored by a net control.
Each station must acknowledge and repeat the report given to it.  So,
an exchange might go like:

Mobile: QRZ
County Hunter: W4DOC 
Mobile: W4DOC you're 55
County Hunter: Thanks for the 55, you're 33 33 triplets
Mobile: Got the triplets, QRZ?

Most people who run mobile on this net register with the Mobile QSL 
Bureau.  This is a QSL bureau run by the county hunters to hold down
costs and make things easy for the mobiles.  If you're good in the
Callbook, just tell net control.  Otherwise, give NCS your mailing
address.  After running mobile, you can expect a mailing from the 
QSL bureau.  They will send you several ham's MRC's or Mobile reply
cards.  These are essentially pre-made QSL's from you to them.  You
just sign and send back.  You will also get QSL's from the stations
and they appreciate your pretty QSL's too if you want.

Running counties is a fun way to pass the time on the road.  Note
that on this net, anyway, only mobile stations are allowed to put
out a county.  Fixed stations can only call other counties.  If you're
mobile and you answer another station putting out a county, you typically
give your county with the report, in case the other guy is a county
hunter.

The folks you're now complaining about were told the exact same thing about 2
meters then: There isn't room for you on here. Go to 440 if you want to do
that.
Now that dual-band rigs are getting popular, you want to change the rules on
them. Is that fair?

Use two lookup tables for the conversion with a table switch on detecting
the shift character. It's only 128 bytes and a state variable, a fairly
trivial program for a single chip micro.

Personally, I prefer crystal filters over mechanical filters.  There's

Suggestions on old vacuum tube receivers?  OK. :)  I find I really like
my Hammarlund SP-600 and RCA AR-88.  (Although I admit that my particular
AR-88 is unusual, in that it has product detector and "hang" AGC mods that
actually work.)  The Hallicrafters SX-28A is another fine old heavy beast.
And you can't get much further away from a digital display then a
National HRO. :)  (The HRO is still a darn good receiver, too.)

The Summer 1990 issue of Applied Microwave Magazine has a nice article on
how to turn a microwave oven into a 500 watt injection locked amplifier.
The system is not a linear amplifier, but will work with FM and other non-
amplitude modulated signals.  The frequency is usually 2450 MHz.  BTW,
the microwave oven magnetrons are designed for CW operation.  I'm not sure
how well they will do with some of the pulsed modes.

Does anyone out there remember Saturday Night at the 94?  Things have
sure gotten boring since the repeater wars are now history.  Bring back
the 70's!!
