assistant: Howdy Brian,
    Your welcome! As you know your not going to get enough output gain
from the earphone speaker jack at all to be of any use unless you also
ran the signal to an amplifier. This would be a bit crazy I think! Its
probably much better to take the rig apart and tap in to either the
electronics on the circuit board or right at the speaker terminals!
heck if you take your rig apart you might as well get a 1/8 female
jack run the wires going to the speaker directly to the 1/8 female
jack so that when you plugged in a 1/8 inch male plug into the 1/8
female jack it would cut off the out put to the internal speaker and
when you unpluged it it would turn the speaker back on! This is a
pretty simple wiring project. If you need help with it let me know?

            Title       : DSP Code available
Ready-to-Run code packages for DSP boards are becoming more and more
common. TI's DSK deals make this easier and easier. The 320C26 DSK
has been available for more than 6 months @ $99.95 and has spawned many
nice projects including CW filters, Packet, Amtor, RTTY and Pactor
programs. Now, the C50 version is shipping at the same price. KC7WW
and HB9JNX appear to be the leaders in producing this code. It took me
receipt of a 26DSK, one stop at Radio Shack for a Wall Xformer, and 30
mins to be receiving Amtor etc with JNX's software. Unfortunately, unless
you're on Internet, this stuff has been a bit of a secret. Most of the
distribution of the software has been via FTP, some via Inet mail.

assistant: Thanks again, Reid.  I'll check into this.  I am wondering if anyone has
experimented with modiications for these Sangean/DX-XXX receivers.  It would
be nice to find out what others have done along those lines.  By the way, in
my original message, I mentioned 3.5 as the output from the mini-earphone
jack.  That should have been followed by a zero with a vertical line through
it.  I wasn't able to produce that symbol with the text here.  Happy

In the past Buenos Aires Meteo did send all the WX-maps with a greyscale

Buenos Aires Meteo sends now all the WX-maps in Black and White, and the
contrast is much better.
The best time for receiving Buenos Aires here in Europe is: 2000-2300 UTC, on
10720 KHz (120/576).
Give it a try, and save one of the charts from Argentina!

assistant: Hello everybody !
 During the past years Moscow's Ministry for Foreign Affairs was a daily
 guest on short wave. They transmitted coded messages (5 letter groups)
 in 75bd RTTY and used callsign RCF. This station suddenly disappeared
 a couple of months ago.
 Does one of you know what happened to RCF ???
 Amongst the other stations in this network are KUL and VKX. Possible
 frequencies:  13541, 23112, 4880, 7528, 14605 and 12178.4 kHz
 A friend of mine and I try to find out what schedules these stations
 maintain and where they are located.
 Therefore I'd like to ask everyone who monitors such a station to
 send me a message including the callsign, frequency, time and header
 (the first line of the message, just before the 5-letter-groups start)
 and your location.
 Thanks for the cooperation !!!!!

Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave
From: copeland@metronet.com (Charles Copeland)
Subject: new HAMCOM interface with optical isolation
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 1994 03:28:42 GMT
Organization: Texas Metronet, Internet for the Individual
214-705-2901 (info) Lines: 145
Here are two opto circuit I've been playing with for HAMCOM/JVFAX. They
virtually eliminate all computer induced rfi. I've been
using a five foot serial cable and twenty foot audio cable
with this circuit and the results are truly remarkable with
JVFAX.
I've used the first circuit successfully, but recommend
using the second. The first can be built with common Radio
Shack parts. The second requires a little more uncommon
LM358 and TIL181.  The Radio Shack opto RECEIVER is only
rated at 20v but used at 24v and could eventually burn out.
It also may introduced problems since the +9v is not
regulated and induces error into the reference op amp
output ... even though it seems to work well. Perhaps some
engineers out there may have some advice.

user: You are replying to All about "Inetrface RFI fix! 2/2".

Write your reply.

assistant: 2/2 - RFI fix continued
==================
The LM358 is a single supply opamp and can be substituted
with the LM2904, LM158, or LM258. (The dual supply 741 can
not be used as a substitute.) The opto isolator IC can be
substitued for many other types. The 4N35 has been tested
successfully. The discrete infared emitter/detector from
Radio Shack has been tested successfully.
I tried to use a darlington opto (TIL113), but couldn't get it to work. A
darlington opto circuit would only require 1.5ma average.
That would make battery life about 133 hours. Maybe I'll
try again later.
============================================================
==================
MORE NOTES:
The 9v battery could be substitued with a 9 or 12 vdc
adapter. However I've found the clearest pictures occur
when both the radio and HAMCOM are running off batteries
... at 6am 8).
A 9v battery should last about 50 hours while audio is
present (assuming 200ma hours for a battery). If no audio
is present the battery will last 400 hours. The battery
life could be a problem for people who leave HAMCOM running
all night using the timed FAX option. Battery would only
last a week. If you have any advice or knowledge that could
improve this, please let me know.

assistant: Howdy,
   Good news for those last minute procrastinators who are wondering
whether or not to attend the Radio Amateurs of Canada convention
this summer. The convention committee has released a pre-convention
program list which includes a look at the technical seminars, special
events, displays and of course the all important wind-up BBQ.
   If you need further information about the convention contact Don Birks
VE6NOD at (403) 243-4454 or by FAX at (403) 287-0290. You can also
email via internet to Howard Tanner VE6HMT at howard.tanner@logical.cuc.ab.ca
73, See you at the convention!
Howard.  VE6HMT

assistant: I recently got some software that'll decode AMTOR/SITOR signals using
the HamComm interface, and I'm looking for some good frequencies, for
trying it myself, and for my RTTY/FAX FAQ.  Does anyone have any SITOR
freqs.?  Yes, I know about NAVTEX at 518 Khz, but my QTH is too noisy
for much longwave. :(
