To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I am thinking of purchasing the subject HT and would like comments
form current W21AT owners. Specifically, if you're happy with the
transmit and receive audio, what the radio is like when you run it
mobile, it's performance on packet, etc.
Thanks for reading this.

I have an AR-3000 which gives a continuous s-meter indication [ about 15
levels]. Don't know about stability. But it goes from 100 khz - 2 ghz,
am, nfm, wfm, lsb, usb, cw, + attenuator, all under serial port control.
A little pricy at $1000, but it's only a hobby. E-mail if I can be more
help.

What you are looking for is a TNC, Terminal Node Controller. You
could build a unit for RTTY and another for WEFAX but you still
wouldn't have Morse. See if you can pick up a multi-mode TNC (like
the PK-232 I am willing to sell) and you will be in business.

This is not very helpful. 800 numbers don't work from outside
the United States. Last time I checked, Norway was still Europe. You
could have provided a regular number. Also note he asked for e-mail.
you posted.
Sheesh. Please read posts before responding.

To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
I am currently testing out the MFJ 20 meter SSB. Used it in the
CQ WPX contest this weekend with a lot of success. It is very impressive for
tthe type of rig it is.
I did put it in my car and test it.. it doesn't have a noise blanker
.. It may just be my car.. but didn't do too well.. I just hooked it
in the cigarette lighter.. need to try to go directly to the
battery and put a noise filter on it before I really would put it down.
It works great off a gel cell.. have had GREAT audio reports on the rig. Had
a DX station stop in the contest when I told him what I was using. he
started to laugh and told me I was the loudest signal coming into him with
a large pileup.. I was using a Quad .. which helped. but with all the high
powered stations on with good antennas.. was real impressed with the MFJ
I really like the receiver. .and the mike that you can get with it has a
good feel to it.

Anyone out there have an FT-11? If so, drop me a line and tell
me about it! I am considering purchasing one, but would like
to hear from someone who owns one first.
Thanks,
Fred

Ken,
I only repeated what the tech at Yaesu told me when I was there getting
service on my radio.

I read in this newsgroup about what other goodies Yaesu is keeping hidden?
With the mod, one can rx(tx) upto 180 MHzs then there is a gap
until you get to 300 MHz (rx) or 400 MHz (rx/tx). Would have be nice if
the 220 band was included. Then we all would have tri-band tranceivers.

Yes, I did, but it still didn't work. Mine may be a 'later generation'
model, and this may be a side-effect of that. My set of jumper pads is not
two parallel lines, if that means it is a later model.
