We are VERY fortunate to have a 800- discount ham dealer locally, Austin
Amateur Radio Supply.

The good things are that they have gotten good reviews on price and
friendliness from several folks on the Internet in the past, and they are
also friendly and helpful in person :-)

The bad thing is that the locals have to pay sales tax :-(

|> > one of those wacko's fires up his footwarmer to talk further.

When I worked for the Shack, we got a copy of a letter that a CB'er
sent a district manager, complaining about the 10 meter rig he had bought.

He started off by saying that he had bought the 10m rig because he
could throw 25 watts with it.  Well, he plugged it in, screwed a CB
car antenna to it, and started talking.  The local amateur community
immediately told him that he had to have a license to talk, and he
should get off.

Well, he was quite upset with Radio Shack because they didn't tell him
he had to have a license.

Then he got the bright idea to jack the 10m rig into his cable,
figuring that he could broadcast without interference.  So he bought
the appropriate connectors, tied it into the cable, and cranked it up.

Well, the cable company got hold of him (actually, he called in a
complaint when his cable stopped working), and they told him that
he had burned up some important piece of equipment.

He wanted the DM to send him a check to pay for the cable equipment
(in excess of $50,000.00), to take back his 10m rig, and refund his
money.

The DM told him where he could shove the 10m rig.  I don't blame him.

I would check the bandswitch.  Put the switch in the 10 meter position
and check each of the contacts (10 m position) with an ohm meter.

If that's the problem, try spraying a little TV tuner cleaner on the
bad contact while you rotate the bandswitch.  If that doesn't work,
try CAREFULLY bending the contact spring slightly to make it press
down a little harder on the wiper.

From: LAIRDPG@lub001.lamar.edu
Subject: Re: TH28A mods? Anyone?

Date: Sun, 16 Aug 92 19:59:26 PDT

TH28A Mods:

1) Remove the 4 screws holding the radio together.
2) With your finger in the battery bay, separate the two parts.
3) The inside of the keypad case has a copper RF shield.  Move this shield
    out of the way by removing the 2 screws and bending it up and away from
    the PC board.  (There may be double sticky tape holding the shield to
    the IC.)  Under the shield you will find a large IC surrounded by
    an array of diodes, as follows:

                    +-------+
                    |       |
                    |   IC  |
                    |       |
           D D D D  +-------+
           1 1 1 1
           5 4 3 2

                   D D D D
                   1 1 9 8
                   1 0

    (The diode numbers are read vertically.)

    NOTE: Diodes D15 & D14 are NOT present in the American version.

4) Remove diodes D8 and D10.
5) Install one of these diodes in D14.

This enables the following three extended modes:

    1) Extended receive from 360 Mhz to 400 Mhz.
    2) Extended receive from 400 Mhz to 520 Mhz.
    3) Extended transmit/receive from 136 Mhz to 174 Mhz.

in addition to the existing aircraft frequencies of:

    4) Receive from 118 Mhz to 136 Mhz. (AM)

(AM and FM are switched automatically according to the frequency range.)

To switch between the modes, press the [F] key for one second, then
press the [LOW] key.  This will switch between:
        a) Amateur VHF band (136 Mhz to 174 Mhz).
        b) 340 Mhz band (340 Mhz to 400 Mhz).
        c) Aircraft band (118 Mhz to 136 Mhz).

To get the extended amateur UHF receive, press the [BAND] key while in the
136 Mhz to 174 Mhz mode.

A photocopy is legal for mobile/portable operation.  The only time you need
the original is when you upgrade.  Since photocopies are so cheap and easy,
I recommend you keep the original at home and carry a photocopy.  After all,
that original has to last for 10 years.

You can purchase them directly from the ARRL.  Look in the
latest QST for ordering information.

I prefer the non-RS books because they have useful ads in them.

Also, there's Ed Hajny (pronounced HANEY), W6ACW, who runs Books Etc.,
and can supply your needs.  He's in Sunnyvale, ph. 408-739-6105.
He was able to supply books for a class I taught.  Tell him
Aaron at Sun sent you.  (No, I don't get a kickback!  :-) )

Hope this helps!

The following observation comes from a regular listener of the
southern California "war zone" (7240-7260 KHz) on the 40 meter band.

On any given day one may witness any number number of rude, obnoxious
and/or illegal transmissions on this portion of the 40M band.  The guys
which hang out there seem to do nothing but argue and throw insults
back and forth at each other all day long.  There is a tremendous
amount of bickering and the air even turns vengeful from time to time.

The procedure is the same whether you are a US citizen or a foreign
national.  The exams are the same also.
However, there are two things which must be considered:

1. A foreign national must not be an agent of a foreign government.
Basically this means that you must not have diplomatic immunity
to prosecution if you break the law.

2. You must have a mailing address within the US or Territories.
(presumably anywhere there is a US Zipcode), and similarly
a station address within the US (these might be the same address
if you don't use a Post Office Box or Rural Route).

If you are a student this shouldn't be much of a problem since
you should be able to receive mail from the school while you are
attending.

"It's hard to believe that something which is neither seen nor
felt can do so much harm."
"That's true.  But an idea can't be seen or felt.  And that's
what kept the Troglytes in the mines all these centuries.  A
mistaken idea."

Let's say that some guy, Joe Ham, W6xx, who's been around for years and
years ticks a bunch of guys off.  Some day, weeks in the future, Joe gets
a letter from the FCC.  Guess, what Joe?  Your new call sign is KC7xxx!!!!

Yes, it seems that the tricksters filled out a 610 form in Joe's name,
explained that no copy of the license was available, and sent it in with
with the "New Callsign" box check YES.....

Well, that's the end of the story.  I only heard it this weekend and
had to tell it here first......
