Motorola had a demo set up at the RF Expo in San Diego where they were
transmitting video in the 902 Mhz range.  I managed to get a couple of 
samples of each and I'm looking forward to playing around with them.  It's
pretty cool because the samples came with a PC board etched for there 
evaluation circuit with lots of extra room to add your own modifications.

Something else in addition to try: Get another radio (of a different brand, 
ideally of a different receiver design) and try to tune in the same freq
birdie.  If you find it, it is surely a real signal.  Also, turn the
RS handie off, and if it's still there on the other radio, it's real.

I have 2 (two) Icom HT's and a mobile rig. The IC-2AT has been suffering from

That sounds nice, but it's not clear it would help.  Consider the TS440: it
has an NEC 7800 processor in it.  Having the source code for that is very
unlikely to do you much good once the processor becomes unavailable.
(And at least in that one, the EPROM is external...)  The problem is that
it's spaghetti code, lots of it, written for a machine that bears no
resemblance to any other machine you've ever seen.  Furthermore, it's
hard to get manuals for them to tell you what the instructions mean, even
though that processor family is still around.

If I gave you a 50 page source code file for the Lockheed SUE, and told you
you're free to port it to whatever you like, how far would you get?

JT1JA is currently giving a QSL route of "via W6REC".  I sent my
card to W6REC.  I got a nice letter back from Duane, which I've
excerpted below:

"In July, 1991, Bill (N6TIB) and myself were the first Americans
to operate amateur radio from Mongolia. ... We saw only one modern
transceiver, 10 watts, and no really "capable" stations.  Working
JT is a feat.

"For years, the JT QSL situation has been miserable.  We send $ or
IRCs and get nothing.  ON the Mongolian side, the cost for printing
and postage for one single card will buy lunch, so we must bear the
burdon of QSLing.  When I told them that 90% or more of all QSLs
include a $ or 3 IRC, they didn't believe me.  Mail to Mongolia
must travel thru Russia or China.  Now we understand the extent
of looting within the mail system."

"Working with Chadra, JT1CO, we have a plan of expiditing QSL cards
by using 2 or 3 managers in countries with corruption-free mail
systems."

"JT1JA is prematurely giving my call as QSL manager.  This error
is the result of a language difficulty.  We hope to have the
QSL program in place in 1992 late."

"I have returned your card with this explanation and hope you will
forgive this confusion and accept my appology.  If you choose not
to wait for this program, then send your QSL direct with one green
stamp and via registered mail, return receipt requested. The cost,
about $6.  Take your chances as most but not all this (registered)
mail gets through.

"I invite your suggestions or comments."

Here it is.  (This applies, with very minor changes, to all the Kenwood
rigs that support a computer interface -- or more precisely, I know that
it applies to all that are of the 440 vintage, I haven't seen more recent
information about the 850/950 etc.)

If you want to have some serious fun, use the DM command and disassemble
what you find.  (Of course that requires a NEC 7800 instruction set manual.
NEC doesn't seem to have those, at least not in the USA.  If you find one,
I'd like a copy!)

By the way, there's an error in the stuff below: the "general coverage"
mod does NOT require an MPU reset, it only requires that you cycle the
power.  (The MPU samples that diode, as well as all the others, every
powerup.)

In a recent article, information was posted about the TS400 interface...
->
->   The IF-232 Interface from Kenwood is a 1488 and a 1489 chip in a box. 
-> These are an RS-232 Quad Line Driver and Receiver and are available at

-> 100 ma. is about the max you'll draw, so the smallest transformer you
-> can find will still be plenty large.  Don't forget to series up two of
-> each gate to cancel the inversion that the 1480's produce.
 
Hmmm...   I don't know if there are any inverters in line with the
output of the SIO chip on the board, but if there aren't, you *don't* want to
"series up two of each gate to cancel the inversion."  The SIO chip idles
high (+5V) in async mode, while under RS-232 the data lines idle low (negative
voltage).  If you put two gates in series and the output from the SIO chip
is *not* inverted, you'll surely confuse your computer as well as the TS440
when they are connected together.  If it is inverted (look for inverters on
RXD, TXD, and the control lines), then you might want to bypass or remove
the inverters and be done with it...
 
If you REALLY want to make is simple, forget the 1488/89 pair.  Use one
of the Maxim parts, either the MAX232 or the MAX235.  Both run off of a
single +5 supply and are pretty much goof proof.  The MAX232 requires a couple
of external caps and resistors, but I prefer the MAX235 because it requires
no external parts (just wire it up to +5 and GND and away you go).  Both
should be available from most mail order houses and local real (read: not
Radio Shaft) distributors.  I know that at least the MAX232 is available
from Jameco, but they may have the 235 as well.  These parts are worth their
weight in sanity...
 
Good luck!

By the responses, it appears that there are some who aren't aware that
there's some LORAN equipment available that you can run in an automobile.
There's some aviation stuff that's small, light, and runs on 12 volts.  It
could easily be used in an automobile.  Problem is, roads rarely run 
straight to Dayton.  The LORAN distance readout wouldn't be accurate 
except as an "as the crow flies" distance.  I don't think I'd plan my
gasoline consumption with it's readings if I were using it in an automobile.

I believe that there's a technical reference manual for the PK232 available

Come on guys, be realistic. I think it's real nice if a company supplies 
parts for a radio made ten years ago, but dumping all your ICOM gear 
because they don't still have parts for one is silly. Try going down to 
the Chevy dealer and ask for a spare part for your Corvair. On the other 
hand, if enough dummies read his post and want to sell their perfectly 
good radios, we all oughta be able to buy 'em real cheap.....

But when it WAS in effect, its results were devastating.  KOOL-TV in

Dan -

I am continuing to investigate this. If the signal goes
away when you disconnect (or attenuate) the antenna,
the problem is most likely not the HT, but is environmental.
To double-check, try the following:

1) Confirm signal w/rubber duck.

2) Remove the duck. If the signal is still there, almost
   definitely a birdie (unless the signal source is very
   close and/or very strong.

3) If signal not there, put a remote antenna on the HT
   (at least 10 feet away). If the signal comes back, it
   is almost definitely NOT a birdie. Birdies don't have
   much power behind them...

One other thing to consider, Cable TV also uses the 2-meter
band. If they have 'leaks' they can interfere. 146.76 is
at or near one of the allocated cable channels.

Regarding the units that had 'birdies' in some parts of town
but not others...these aren't birdies. Again, if the birdie is
there it will not change with changes in location.

Definition for reference: Birdie--internally generated signals
that make it difficult or impossible to receive.

My impression while watching the show was that his gift of the equipment
was another of his weird attempts at humor.  I could be wrong, but the
way it was said reminds me of other sarcastic-generous statements he
has made.  Most of my friends though think I am wrong...that he wouldn't
do this to a six year old.

Anybody know where the gear came from?  Was it borrowed from Barry

Anyone talk to Jeanie and find out if this was a setup?  Or did she

Errm...  The address is repeaters@wattres.sj.ca.us.
I knew I shouldn't have been typing with only half my brain engaged.  I have
a good excuse, though.  The other half was listening to the radio. ;)
Besides, I assumed you all had read the first article in the thread.  That'll
teach me.  I know better than to assume all USENET articles get through...

Once again the address is "repeaters@wattres.sj.ca.us".

Thanks.

I recall KHQ in Spokane Washington (there was another 3 letter station there
too).
