I am considering putting my Ts-430s on sale at the end of this year
and upgrading. I was wondering what a fair market price was these days
for the rig. It has an FM board and a cw filter. It is in excellent 
condition with original packaging material and documentation.

Any suggestions for a fair market price

Hello all,

I would like to buy a decent all mode 432Mhz radio.

I am mainly looking for a mobile style radio, though
base stations will be considered if in my price range.
(I cannot afford most 736R's I have seen)

I am trying to crank up OSCAR mode B, so a radio suitable
for that mode is preferred.

Also any preamps, and PA's would be considered.

Some likely suspects:

   Kenwood TR-851
   Yaesu   FT-790 MkII
   Yaesu   FT-726 (with modules)
   Icom    475H?? (any of that family)
   Tentec  transverter

Give me a yell!

As for the value of the Heath HW101:  I bought one at a hamfest in not good
looking but GREAT working condition for $75.  Took it home to a ham friend's
place, hooked it up to a dipole made of some scrap phone wire (just for 
testing...), checked for something approximating decent SWR and immediately
had a chat with a guy from New Jersey or Pennsylvania (I live in Iowa).

Anyway, I thought the $250 on the radio advertised here was WAY WAY too high
unless the thing is like the kit that was never even assembled, with all
the parts in the original box.  =-)

I talked to Hugh Turnbull, W3ABC, at the Frederick/Walkersville Hamfest
about a month ago. He brought up the subject of changing to AARL and asked
whether I thought it made sense. He mentioned that it seemed to be an
especially poor choice (re: AARP), but that some hams elsewhere in his
Division were lobbying for the change (Hugh is ARRL Atlantic Div Director).
I agreed that the change is inapproriate, and really out of date, since the
advent of Packet Radio has brought ham radio full circle back to the message-
relaying business again.

ps. Hugh is in his 70s, but really tries to keep up to date, has a packet
mailbox, logs into the DX Cluster, etc. He is not a DX man.

Jim,
  I understand what you are saying and am quite clear on what is business
and what isn't.  Or at least I WAS until the other day when I received
a booklet from the ARRL "Welcome to Amateur Radio - All About FM Repeater
Operation" by Brian Battles, WS1O.  Clearly, it was intended to arrive BEFORE
I got my ticket and keyed up for the first time.  (So it was 1.5 months late.)
 
There are a few seeming contradictions in that booklet which I would be glad
to comment on to the appropriate person (WS1O isn't in the usenet list).
 
One issue covered in that booklet confused me: The age old issue of calling
for help from the Highway.  I understood that I cannot call AAA or a tow
truck via the autopatch because it is CLEARLY business for the other party
even though it is rescue traffic to me.  This booklet suggests that this is OK
since it has to do with potential loss of human life or property.
(I would quote chapter and verse, but, I left it on the table at home.)
 
The brochure is sent out when we get the latest printout of new
hams from FCC. That's why it came after you got your license.

Emergency communications supersede all others, and are the only
time you can 'violate' FCC regulations and be in the clear. It's
okay to call for help, even if someone gets paid for helping you.

Likewise, it would be legal for a Tech-class licensee whose boat
is sinking to call for help on the 20-meter band. (Puleeze don't
flame me; it's assumed that's the most-efficient way to call for
help in this case, or the person wouldn't risk his neck doing it.)

There is a clause in the FCC Part 97 rules pertaining to communi-
cations when life or property are threatened.

If you think about it, calling the police is okay, even though
police officers are paid.

73, Jim

While clocks and other digital hash are a problem with computers, the
primary culprits are usually the very strong VLF deflection *pulses* that
the monitor uses to scan the screen. These several *watt* pulses radiate
harmonics across a broad spectrum. Thus the new low field monitors *do*
make a marked difference in interference levels since the way they reduce
the fields is to increase the overall effectiveness of the shielding.

>Fortunately, Macs are best-sheilded and filtered computers available. Perfect
>for the ham radio user. 

The etch-a-sketch, er Mac, is fairly well shielded, but is not anywhere as
effectively shielded as a Sun or AT&T 386WGS. The latter has a double metal
case and finger stock at all the joins. The Sun 386i is also double shielded.
I keep my scanner sitting on the Sun with no hint of interference. The Mac
depends on coated plastic and a couple of flimsy shield plates. It *is* a
tight box though, as many people who have had them overheat will attest.
The aftermarket in add on fans is doing well. Mac IIs are better in this
respect, but their separate monitors do tend to radiate a lot of hash. It's
also harder to turn them over to smooth the sand back out when you tire
of your "artistic" efforts.

Hi!  Just as the smmary says:  Is regular PVC pipe good enough to use
for an antenna mast?  The antenna will be a small 2m ant.  Probably 
a Lazy-J or a 5/8 whip with radials.

a)  Is PVC durable?  Will it live thru a few seasons?
b)  How long a length of PVC pipe will stand straight by itself?  What about
    wind?  (This will be mounted off my roof, somehow).
c)  If PVC cannot take the "elements", will painting or protecting it help?
d)  Will it affect antenna performance?  I don't think so, but.......
 
What about PVC for Quads?

I would appreciate any help.

Followup-To: rec.radio.amateur.policy

There has been discussion on this topic regarding whether a disabled auto
constitutes and emergency.  If I remember Part 97, the rulse defines an
emergency as any threat to life or property.  I once used the autopatch
to try to contact an Amoco station for a lady whose car was disabled on
the shoulder of an interstate at rush hour.  Seeing the idiots that drive
on the shoulder, etc. at rush hour, I know she was in danger.  I was unable,
for reaons I forget, to get help directly from a local Amoco station and
ended up calling the Illinois State Police and asking them to get her an
Amoco tow truck.  One guy did then tell me I had made an illegal autopatch
to a service station, luckily he did not kill the patch.  I told him I
considered it legal and I still do.

As to the danger part.  Yesterday a GM van stalled on the Eisenhower
expressway in Chicago and was on the shoulder of the inside lane.  A car
rear-ended the van.  Having just driven this expressway out of Chicago
Sunday night, I can understand why the car was driving on the shoulder; there
are real idiots out there that pass regardless of the fact that only the
shoulders have no traffic.  The driver of the van was thrown out the back of
the van and ended up pinned between the car and the van.  The driver's seat
of the van ended up on top of the hood of the car.  The driver lived, but was
in critical conditon.  It is NEVER safe to be on the shoulder of a busy road,
especially an expressway.  It is definitely an immediate threat to life
or property.
