Ok, here is the ad straight from QST magazine, provided for the
numerous people that sent me email asking about it....

AMATEUR X-BAND TRANSMITTER
Miniature (2 1/4 x 3 3/4 x 1")

GaAs microstrip transmitter provides 10mW on 10 GHz.  Great for
long-range testing of x-band receivers--up to one mile.  [and, I
imagine, trolling for taillights]  FM and pulse modulation note
available ($2.00).

Assembled...$39.00  Kit...$29.00  S&H...$2.00

Innotek, Inc.
605 Landsford
Ft. Wayne, IN  46825
(219) 489-1711


I saw one of these at the Minneapolis Hamfest this past weekend, but
got distracted by something else and neglected to pick one up.
The guy was demonstrating with a radar detector how well it works!
Might make the drive home from school more interesting! :-)
(ooooooooooh nooooooooo Mr. Wizard, that might be illeeeeeeeeeegal)

Anyway, you can find this ad on page 120 of the March '92 of QST.

Maybe the "TK" stands for Trio-Kenwood?  If that's the case, it's a

King Hussain is about the most famous I can think of, followed by Rajiv Ghandi
(deceased). There must be others, there is a British Peer no-one seems to have

Subject: thru the glass 2m antennas
Organization: Hewlett-Packard, Fort Collins, CO, USA
Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.misc

I am trying to get a 2m antenna for my car (so I can run my HT from inside
the car).  I do not want to drill any holes in the car nor do I want to 
use a mag mount.  Therefore, a "thru the glass" antenna seems like an ideal
solution.

Does anybody in net-land have any experience with "thru the glass" antennas.
I have asked a few people about them and most have opinions but these seem
to be based on "gut feel" rather than first hand experience.  If you have 
used one of these antennas or know of someone who has, could you please 
comment on their usefulness/capabilities.

More specifically, does anyone has experience with the Antenna Specialists 
APR-151.3G?  How much attenuation does the "thru the glass" coupling 
add?  Any experience with VSWR problems or the lack there of?

Thanks for the input,

So I guess you're not ever expecting any of your non-ham relatives to
buy you a surprise holiday gift, eh?  I guess good ol' Uncle Joey, with
all those bucks, isn't going to be able to buy his favorite nephew a
gift that he'll really appreciate, like a new HT.  Mom & Dad will never
be able to surprise their teenage ham-child with an HF rig for Christmas.

How sad... a small handful of jammers spoil it for everybody...

I would turn the list around:

Code test requirements for:

Technician		0 words per minute - VHF+ only/5 wpm VHF + Novice HF.
Novice			5 words per minute
General, Advanced	13 words per minute
Amateur Extra		20 words per minute

You pass the test by getting 1 minute of perfect copy (numbers, punctuation, 
and prosigns count as 2 letters, a "word" is 5 letters), or 7 out of 10 
answers correct on a comprehension test (sometimes fill in the blank, 
other times multiple choice - depends on what the exam team is using).

>Written test 3A required:  T, G, A, E
>Written test 3B required:  G, A, E
>Written test 4A required:  A, E
>Written test 4B required:  E

Written test requirements for:

Novice		Element 2 only.
Technician	Elements 2 and 3A (or Novice plus 3A)
General		Elements 2, 3A, and 3B (or Technician plus 3B)
Advanced	Elements 2, 3A, 3B, and 4A (or General plus 4A)
Extra		Elements 2, 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B (or Advanced plus 4B)

Missing from the list are that the code tests are test elements 1A, 1B, and 1C

Date: 10 Nov 92 17:10:42 GMT
Article-I.D.: nntp.1992Nov10.171042.7706
Organization: University of Oregon

I just purchased an SB200 amp to use with my Yaesu FT101B transceiver.

The only manual I have is for the transceiver itself. The wiring diagram
in this manual shows a hookup to the companion Yaesu amplifier. In this
diagram, the companion amp has an "E" terminal, an "ALC" terminal and an
"Ant Relay" terminal.

The SB 200 has only an RCA input for "ALC" and "ANT RELAY".

My problem is that when I turn on the amplifier, my receiver gain drops
tremendously. A signal which reads S9 on the meter will drop to S1 or so
when the amp is turned on.

In trying to troubleshoot this problem, when I pull the ANT RELAY connection
out of the amplifier, I have normal receiver gain. You can hear a relay
clicking in the amplifier when you put the RCA plug in and then take it
out again.

This leads me to believe that the problem is in the wiring from the ACC
accessory socket to the ANT RELAY jack on the SB200.

Is anyone familiar with this situation or have any idea as to what is going
on? Or is this something which might be internal to the amp?

Thanks for any help,
Steve

Couple of corrections and updates:
A22MN is via WA8JOC I believe.  I'll verify and post.
PJ9P is via OH6MW per Ari OH6MW.

Not only that, but at 5 WPM it is practically NO CODE anyway!

It just amazes me....on here a few years ago there were lively discussions
about the possibility of a no code license....the proponents SWORE that
all they wanted was some entry level VHF/UHF only license that their
brilliant PhD friends could get so that they could perfect high speed
digital modes.  So now we HAVE a no code license.  And guess what?
The complaining goes on....declaring the code requirement for some
license classes as "hazing" or "arbitrary."  Incredible.
