Subject: Help with CaCable ID
Organization: University of North Carolina Extended Bulletin Board Service
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1992 18:03:06 GMT

I picked up a few lengths of cable that I'm trying to figure out.  It
was on some kind of computer system (old mini, I assume), and doesn't
appear to have any standard RG type numbering.

It's a simaese pair of two seperate pieces of coax, one has BNC connectors
(female) on both ends, and the other piece has TNC connectors (female) on
each end.

The labeling is as follows:

Wang Labs Inc  420-0057  E-41663  UL  AWM  Style 20063  80^oC  300V

I'm trying to figure out the impeadence of the cable without using anything
exotic (like a TDR).  Any ideas?

============================================
: Ferrite Toroids and Baluns                     15 Dec 92 00:34
I'm posting these questions for a more technologically astute friend who
doesn't have Internet access.  I hope you can help him, because I don't even
understand the questions!

1) Could ferrite toroids by Amidon (FT-8275) with high permeability
(5000) be used to build a low pass audio filter with cut-off frequency of
3 kHz (-3dB)?  Specified resonant circut frequency is 1 kHz - 1 MHz for
this material.

2.) What kind of balun is used in professional dipole set-up, for
listening only?  Is it voltage or current 1:1 type?

                            Cheers, Rob

You will not believe this at first... I had the same thing happen when I
first put TM-2530's on packet... A nice ham on the net gave me the solution
so I am passing it along to you...

1. Hold down the PS button while switching the power on!

That will reset the microprocessor and all will function as it should.
The radio got confused with varying voltages from the P/S on got a nice
internal dose of RF...

Good luck - Mine (two of them) have been in operation as net-node units
for more than two years with little/no trouble.

I am looking into getting on 6 meters, but I want to accomplish 
this as inexpensively as possible. Our club sponsers two 6mtr 
repeaters and I would like to work one or both of them. I have 
heard that there are mods that can be done to a standard Radio 
Shack 49MHz "toy" that would convert it over to 6 meters. While 
I realize this would be a QRP rig, it has peaked my interest. 
Does anyone have these mods available, and if so could you please 
post them? I am sure this would be a contruction project that 
many Hams would find enjoyable now that winter is upon us.

In a recent posting, Will asked about the KR-10.

KR-10 is really the Kenpro KR-010.  It was a neat outboard
controller that talked to the Kenpro KR-series
az/el rotators.  Kenpro is now marked by Yaesu, but they
don't know anything about the KR-010 (I called 'em).

The KR-010 has 10-bit A/D input and talks RS-232 to the
computer.  They are quick, rugged, and easy to interface
with.  RealTrak, my satellite program, has a driver for the
KR-010 (among others).

The KR-010 is not available any more.  I've only seen one in
my life.  If you can find one at a flea market, grab it.

Yaesu has just introduced a successor to the KR-010, called the
GS-232.  It's also a standalone 10-bit box that talks RS-232.
Its commands are very similar, so it might work in place of the
KR-010.  The GS-232 also has a table-loading facility for off-
line tracking.  Call Mr. Yaesu and inquire.

Fine, try mail order.  Digikey is good.  Allied is no longer
owned by Tandy, but they can get some of the Radio Shaft stuff.

Or get out of your Metro area, and make your self known to a 
Radio Shack _Dealer_.  This is a franchise person, and  he/she takes 
there money out of the till, and so they need work for their money.
Tread carefully though, Radio Shaft is shafting its dealers too.

>Why don't you just shut up.  Let Radio Shack control you. Be passive
Stuff gone.         ^^^^^^^ that is not nice.

>what if they have human sales people that have bad days.  They bring
That is true.  I had one _very_ bad day when I worked in franchise, 
next day I quit.   I could not stand the average person who had
an electronics IQ of 2 walking in and expecting a $0.59 fix for a 
$1000.00 problem.  Not every one who walks in is a tech.   I have
also found, that techs are so cheap they will buy 10.00 worth of parts
just to save 2.00 on a built and tested device.

I guess this is where the FLAME ON: should go.
>some of the best Jap electronic gear to market.          
If the US would not produce crap, I would purchase more stuff that 
had "Made in USA" on the sticker.  In the USA, we have the highest
productivity, and the lowest quality.  We make crap fast and cheap, 
though not cheap enough to keep consumers.

>What are you a no-code tech?  Just shut up and learn the code and buy
I know two no-code techs who can blow the doors off of most EEs'.
One of them makes extra income by "consulting" with Korean OEMs. 
He usually has to redesign the stuff (ie from the ground up) though.

Get a job, or better yet, get an education.  To quote a president, 
"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"
  -- I forget who.   :-)

You want to see some good phonetics?  Donate the call to a field day... 
and wait for 3 AM when most of the beer is gone (and the ops are half 
asleep)...

Jui-

NASA Select is re-transmitted by Ham Radio operators in various cities, on
whatever frequency is common in that region.  For example, at Merritt
Island, Florida, near the Kennedy Space Center, it is rebroadcast on
146.940 MHz.

I'm not certain how the Hams get the audio feed for NASA Select, but it may
come from one of the synchronous satelites' transponders.  It may also be
available by phone line.

If you have your own satelite dish, you might get the information you need
by contacting your local Cable TV company, or a local Network TV station.
