Article-I.D.: meishan.ignacij.714280935
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana

My IC-24AT, after wideband conversion has a holes in its coverage. 
It receives 360-410, 420-450,460-. There are gaps in 410-420 and 450-460,
when U is displayed instead of the memory number. It has also gaps in the
VHF range, altough I am not sure now where. 
The literature on the 24AT suggests that after the modifications
the HT is able to receive wideband, without
any gaps. The gap 450-460 lies in the police band, and certainly is
not due to the inablility of the radio to receive that band, since 
signals on 463M are received just fine. Is it possible that early 24ATs
had some subbands intentionally disabled? Is is possibly to reenable them?

On an unrelated topic, the antenna connector in the same HT is getting loose
from time to time, eventually resulting in broken antenna wire inside
the unit. Fixing the screw does not help much. I have heard that this is a 
standard problem in 24AT. Does anybody know any remedy?

       You might also try the Murata SFG series.  Penstock has those,
also.  Penstock is at 408-730-0300.  Ask for data sheets for the series
of components you want, and then order from those.  

       Toko has a nice catalog of RF components.  Penstock sends them
out if you ask.

       Although Penstock is oriented toward the industrial user, they've
been quite cooperative with me ordering small numbers of parts, although
there is a $25 minimum.

	That depends on what you mean by direct.  Putting a T connector
	at the transmitter and connecting a 10 meg probe to a 1/4 inch
	long wire stuck in the center hole isn't going to change your loading
	very much, particluarly if you can "tune" the transmitter.  It might

	mostly by the T and the probe capacitance.  I doubt that you would
	ever know it though.

	I use the indirect method.  Wind about 5 turns of wire around your
	largest finger to get a coil.  Stick one end of the wire in the 
	scope input.  Solder the other end to a resistor, 1K to 10K
	depending on the scopes input impedance and sensitivity as well
	as the amount of RF in your shack.  Connect the end of the
	resistor to the scope ground.  You get wildly varying amounts of
	signal on the different bands with this approach, but that's what

     San Mateo Electronics Supply (415-341-8731) has somehow become stuck
in a time warp.  They have TWO self-service tube testers.  They sell
tubes.  Boxes of tubes are racked behind the register.  A TV repairman bought
a tube while I was in there.  They even have tube testers for sale.  
There's also a wide selection of TV antennas, both indoor and outdoor, 
and antenna rotators with control boxes.  

     There must be some concentration of old people with tube-type TV sets
nearby, still calling a TV repairman when a tube goes out.

There are five enumerated. Three specifically require technical expertise,
one does so partially, and only "promote international good will" requires
none. And even that is aided by technical knowledge of such things as RF
propagation.

Well it's certainly true that a majority of hams view amateur radio as
a hobby rather than as a service. But it is inherently a *technical*
hobby and attempting to understand the technical basis for the service
enhances a person's effectiveness at pursuing the avocation. Being more
effective is generally more fun than being ineffective.

Our own US government, in the form of the Smithsonian Institution, insisted

45 years.

To this day, there's still a bit of resistance within the Smithsonian.

I cannot imagine how we could possibly arrive at a conclusion, concensus,
opinion or out-and-out dictate about what aspect of Amateur Radio would
make up a "core." Of course, everyone knows that the core of Amateur Radio
is just what I do (this week) -- narrow band 10-GHz contesting. :-).

No, I would keep the concept -- QST should include things of interest to
a broad spectrum of people into the many facets of Amateur Radio. Now, if
we want to discuss (argue?) about the implementation of that concept ...

Oops, folks.  The 0A4 isn't a shunt regulator.  It's a gas-filled triode
used as a relay-control tube.  The "4" in its name gives it away as
having too many elements for a shunt regulator.  Y'all are thinking

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I have an intimate knowledge of the cases
involved, but weren't the cases against the individuals based on federal
wire-tapping charges?  Rumor has it that the US Attorney General has
never prosecuted a case based on the ECPA, and is afraid to as they
think it's unenforceable.

The last time this discussion came up (in the case of tape-recordings of
Virginia Governor Douglas WIlder) it was pointed out that the culprit was
convicted under federal wire-tapping charges and not the ECPA.

And of course, in the blatant cases of tape-recording politicians, there
are a lot more concrete charges (conspiracy, extortion, otherwise using
intercepted communications for criminal use or personal gain, etc.) that
an ambitious US attorney would seek to bring against violators.

Alan's (K6XO) retort was great and to the point!  Yes, ARRL is
kind of a fuddy, duddy organization.  Yes, QST is not a journal
for technical weenies.  Yes, ham radio is made up of a bunch of
old men, and so on.

BUT, the ARRL is our organizational God until something else comes
along.  It's been fairly responsive to the changing needs of hams
e.g. litigation, lobbying, apartment dwellers, satellites,
digital, no-code licensees, etc.  The organization can't
specialize in everything, nor can QST.  Hence other specialized
organizations (e.g. AMSAT) and publications (e.g. NCJ).

Our biggest single problem as a hobby, IMNSHO, is the FCC--both
in enforcement (they don't do enough) and paying attention to ham
radio (they don't) when it comes to allocating frequencies and so
on.  The ARRL will have to become more and more a lobbying
organization which desires/defends a portion of the frequency
spectrum alongside some very high-powered commercial folks who are
doing the same.  The big difference is: the commercial folks
do/can make money with the frequency spectrum and hence have a
rather different set of priorities than we do.  And the ARRL is
what we have to depend on, like it or not.  So you might as well
support it!

Yes!  But only if you do it accidentally or because you believe it to
be the source of interference.  Otherwise the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act of 1986 specifically forbids listening to
cellular and many other services.  Cordless phones are still fair

I understand now that there is a legislation pending to ban scanners
and radios that recieve cellular.  Does anyone know more details?  My
information came from a recent Boston Glob article that was slanted to
favor this bill as protectiong people's privacy from some fringe
element.

Any law like this just goes further to mislead the public and promote
the myth of privacy.

   It won't matter about scanners once DIGITAL cellular gets implemented.
   GSM [europe] is already selling encrypted cellulars today!


And another company sells digital cordless phones.

The issue is not that a few scanner freaks lose the ability to listen
to the sordid lives of yuppies and drug dealers but the tendancy of
the government to pass repressive laws like that, unenforcible as they
may be.  Even the current legislation that will apparently require our
radio equipment to be crippled is only a nuisance.

That the government thinks it can control what you are allowed to
listen to is a dangerous precedent for a "free" society.
