- Subject: WEFAX 105 Program
- Message-ID: <1125@unsvax.NEVADA.EDU>
-
- Because I will be leaving home tomorrow and I am STILL getting requests for
- the WEFAX 105 program AND getting complaints that people can't access the
- LISTSERV@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU database, I am putting it up here in plain ascii
- code. Simply remove all information not part of the program and save it to
- your disk as an ASCII Basic Program. Yes, I KNOW you're not supposed to do
- this because it wastes net bandwidth, but I am compelled to due to the amount
- of requests for this. This program's length is about as long as some of the
- messages we've been seeing here lately.
- Now a few tips for using the program, but 1st a warning:
- BE SURE THAT YOU DO **NOT** TURN UP THE AUDIO TOO LOUD ON YOUR RADIO!!!!!!!
- The friend that gave this program to me knows someone whom he gave it to that
- burned out the cassette port on his computer due to too much radio audio. So,
- don't say I didn't warn you.
- As I have said, the program uses the CoCo's built-in cassette port to receive
- and demodulate weather faxes (and others). The pictures are of very high
- quality, but there is no grey scale. It runs on ANY Color Computer (but it was
- designed to run on the 1 and 2), and runs in Disk Extended Color Basic (DECB),
- which is what is built into the machine's roms when you buy it.
- Although a disk drive is not required, if you're thinking of saving pictures
- you will need one. Because the size of the pictures (they are a basic memory
- dump), the program does NOT use files, but the whole disk! Because of this,
- BE SURE to use a clean disk for saving pictures. 1 Single-side disk will
- store 2 pictures.
- As far as hardware between the computer and radio, you simply need a cable to
- connect between the audio input portion of the cassette port and the earphone
- plug of the radio. Since the cassette plug is a 5 pin DIN, this is easy. A
- pinout of the port is given in the CoCo's manual (one of them).
- So, remember the warning...get set up...and have fun!! 73's and see you in
- mid January (please don't send me mail until then, as it will probably bounce,
- and if it doesn't, I won't be receiving it), Mike, N7MSD

- Subject: Yaesu FT-470--how bad is the intermod, anyway?
- Message-ID: <6295@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu>
-
- I've heard discussion of the intermod problem on the Yaesu FT-470. Just how
- bad is it, anyway? I realize that it depends on geographic location, but what
- other factors affect the receiver?
-
- My Yaesu FT-209 has been in the shop for >2 months (!!!); when I return home
- (to Los Angeles) for winter break, I intend to buy myself a present :-)
- I want the 470, but if the intermod is a problem and the "fix" doesn't quite
- work, I'll consider the 411. What problems are there w/the 411's receiver?
-
- Thanks for all the help.........finals are over, and I can finally concentrate
- on my favorite pasttime :-) :-)
-
- 73 and happy holidays,
