Subject: DSP Audio Filters
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Well,I have a DSP-9 built from a kit...A good inexpensive unit but
required patience getting the "bugs" out.
Clean power supply, shielded cables inside, minor circuit mods, AGC curcuit
added, (note that cw sidetone usually disappears as the narrow filters are
turned on) adding a sidetone to the rig indepentent of the audio being
filtered on receive. And the kit DSP-9 doesnt allow instant selection
of the given filters. One must "step" through each and stopping on the desired
filter...a real pain when you're in a hurry to go from "QRN reduction" to
narrow cw filter.....but for $125 you cant beat it....73 steve

The radio is also free of intermod. I hear a lot of complaints on the
air about intermod, but I never hear these from HTX202 owners.
On the other hand you hear complaints here about the inability to
expand the receive capabilities of the HTX-202 so one can monitor the
NOAA weather or public service agencies. It is because you can't that

Subject: Is a Kenwood TR-9000 any good?
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Hello,
I was looking out for a 2M all-mode rig for possible satellite work,
and someone had a Kenwood (actually "Trio") TR-9000 rig for sale.
I know it's an older one, but is this one of the better rigs, or
is it a dog? What do you think they are worth now?
Thanks,

Subject: Macintosh CW sender/cable
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I seem to remember a while back a cable that would connect a
Macintosh to the code key jack of a radio and the Mac would then
send the code. It wasn't expensive and seemed very simple.
Does anybody know what it is (or an equivalent) and where I can
buy it?
Thanks!

I talked to MFJ recently .. the rig is suppose to be off the production
line about this week.. or maybe next.. this is from one of the VPs and
he has been very honest with me in the past. I am anxious to test this
one out.. make a great portable/mobile rig, especially with CW module.
It wasn't clear from the add whether you can leave the CW module in and
switch back and forth or have to have the module out for SSB and in for
CW.

Subject: RF quiet computer monitors?
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
My computer monitor puts out an annoying amount of horizontal-sweep RFI; for
other reasons I need to replace it soon, and I'd like to get one that's
quieter. I'd like to tap the net's experience with this: what kind of
monitor do you have, and have you had RFI trouble with it? So that I can
filter dups, please email me (rfm@eng.sun.com), don't follow up to the net.
Please mention the manufacturer, model, a short description (e.g. "15 inch
1024x768 NI SVGA"), the approximate date of new purchase (equipment often
changes during production runs) and your experience with it. I'll collect
the responses and summarize back to rec.radio.amateur.equipment.
[I've directed followups to rec.radio.amateur.equipment, though I'd
prefer responses by mail.]

To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Hi,
I am looking for a Tekk data radio (2W output, one channel, crystal controlled
430-450 Mhz).
Does anyone know the phone/fax number and address of the manufacturer
(or distributor).
Note that I'm not interested in the packages sold by Gracilis or PacComm
but only by the radio.
