Write your reply.

assistant: What is the Russian Merchant Ship Database (RMSD)?  For those of you who
follow HF shipping communications, the RMSD is a database of ships (over 8000
of them!) in the Russian (or former Soviet Union) merchant shipping fleet.
For those of you who don't know, I have been following Russian shipping coms
for years and have for some time maintained a database of those ships.  The
database used to be called the USSR Merchant Ship List (UMSL).  I wrote a
book published by Universal Radio Research in 1991 by the same name, which
some of you may have.  Anyway, the RMSD is a follow-on to that book and I am
now making that database available to those who are interested.  What kind of
information is in the new RMSD?  Some of the fields include: Call Sign, Ship
Type, Year Built, Home Port, Name, Gross Weight, and Log Date.  If you would
like more information on how to obtain a copy of the database, take a look at
the RMSD Press Release on the web at:
http://www.leonardo.net/berri/wun/files/rmsd/rmsd2pr.html
or send me email at:
Jason Berri (Fido) or berri@aero.org (Internet)
and I will email you a copy.  If you have access to neither of those, you can
send me snail-mail at:

assistant: Hi Mike
All I ask is ACARS!  :-))))  What are you hoping they add?
Did you buy yours after the 1 ROM update they did?  If so you
might be a wee bit shy about a new upgrade.  After I put the new ROM
into my M7000, I found it took a stronger signal to get a lock on
the ARQ modes.  ARQE3 would catch quite quickly with the original
ROM but it took a signal 30-40% stronger to lock on after the
upgrade.
