assistant: Could be something drew him away after he posted the note. That
happens now and then. You post a FOR-SALE or something, then get called out
of town or family takes you to 13.3 school functions and two parent
conferences in the same week... :-)
        Packet is a great deal of fun. I'm using an MFJ-1274, whose ROM was
apparently upgraded somewhere along the way. I understand the original dind't
have a Personal Mail System (PMS) built into it, and mine does. Mine behaves
like the popular TAPR (Tuscon Area Packet Radio, a club and more that
basically defined packet as a hobby, at www.tapr.org) TNC-2.  In fact, a note
inside says "Portions of this board taken directly from TAPR artwork."
        HOWEVER, it wasn't until I found out that I SHOULD have a mailbox
built into it that I even cared about it. Popular packet programs such as
paKet 6.1 give you a mailbox feature anyway. The advantage of the built-in is
that it can take messages while the computer is busy or down; the PMS in the
program can't. A really nice FREE packet program is called TPK.
        If you'd like to discuss packet in more detail, join me in the PACKET
conference or AMATEUR_RADIO, both of which support its discussion. Or write!

Write your reply.

assistant: FOR SALE -- 2,066 sq. ft. log cabin business location in downtown historic
district of Granbury, Texas -- an area that attracts tens of thousands of
tourists weekly from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex 40 miles north seeking
antiques, boutiques, and recreation in this pre-Civil War town and adjacent
Lake Granbury resorts.
     Built with log and frame construction, the building boasts a large 25' X
25' showroom, a 15' X 25' foyer, plenty of office and storage space, and
three bathrooms including one for the handicapped.  Ideal for a boutique,
antique shop, gift shop, or even a day care center (near two schools), this
commercially-zoned building has a myriad of possibilities.  The building is
carpeted and has central heating and air conditioning.  The building lot
occupies l/4 of a city block and is 145' X 155' in size, with space for auto
parking and tour buses.
     Nostalgic Granbury and the surrounding countryside attract not only
affluent tourists but high-income new residents on Lake Granbury and nearby.
With several luxury home communities nearby with some 65,000 residents, the
entire Granbury area is growing and offers excellent growth potential for a
new business.
     Granbury boasts original historic hotels and inns, its original Hood
County courthouse with a town square, an original "opera house," many fine
restaurants, boutique shopping, an annual civil War enactment, and excellent
boating, fishing, and hunting.  Poor health forces immediate sale:  $139,000.
 For more information, call (817) 573-7973 or fax (817) 279-6487.

assistant: Greetings, All;
I am looking for a program that reads CW from a receiver/tranciever
and converts it to text on a computer screen.  The ability to save
to a file would be a plus, sending from the keyboard is not needed.
This can be either an IBM/compat pgm or a LISTING of one written in
Commodore BASIC, (for Vic/64/128), that I could port over to the IBM
compat.
Anyone have such a program that I could get?  I could FREQ it from
anywhere in Zone 1, or if it's a listing, you could send it either
here or in netmail to my BBS.
Many advTHANKSance

Sounds good.  About how much is the kit?
I would prefer something that runs in the computer which would be cheaper
to build and have the ability to save the text if you want, (for
capturing bulletins from W1AW, for instance), so an interface is all I
REALLY need, but a separate "box" might be ok for my purposes also.
Please send info here or netmail to 1:154/170

I need SOMETHING to get back on, but since I'm disabled and have to
depend on Social INSecurity for survival, I can't afford a lot.
Does someone have an extra 2M rig, either HT or mobile, they would be
willing to let go for $100 or so shipped to 53081?  (The utilities can
wait a month!)
I need a radio with PL encode, preferably PL decode, and it can't be

(runs all the Ham gear & charges HT batteries), so no power problems.
