Well...that depends on the user. Some would prefer a mod to eliminate
the possibility of extended ANYTHING! My preference is for a ham band
only rig that doesn't receive out of band signals. I prefer solid
radio performance, not a poor excuse for a scanner. Perhaps Radio
Shack will come out with a dual band transciever that will fill the
bill for those who want two bands. Their 202 is a nice rig.
In any case,I have an ICOM 32AT dual bander and rarely use it. I find
carrying around my 2AT a much better idea. Much more conservative on
batteries. When I need PL, out comes the Radio Shack HTX202.

A rumour has started around these parts that in about 6 weeks, Alinco

Mobile, portable, power, features, price?

Subject: Do you know what a Twinplex Combiner is?
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
In the hope that someone out there might know of someone who might be
interested in this equipment before it goes into the junkheap, I ask the
following question:
Anyone interested in a Twinplex Converter and Twinplex Combiner made by
Northern Radio Company in the 1950's? I believe this equipment was used
to multiplex/demultiplex 2 non-synchronous telegraph transmissions.
This stuff is in immaculate condition, there are manuals, and if there is
any chance that anyone out there collects this stuff, or has any other
use for it, I'd really like to find out.
Sorry for the interruption, and now back to our regularly scheduled
programming.

I've used mine in my extremely-noisy four-wheel-drive vehicle, and I've had
to treat it like a mobile phone if the spkr/mike is not plugged in! I've
seriously considered routing the audio through the car's sound system. Another
way would be to lash up a headset-mic and PTT box similar to that which was
available for the previous model of radio from Yaesu. I've never seen a set-up
like this produced by Yaesu for the '470, though.

Worn-out batteries are a problem here right now! :-)

To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Hello!
I wonder have anyone tried to modify a GMRS - handie talkie to 70cm?
Are the radios for GMRS crystal controlled or what?
The price rate, abt $100 seems to be a right rate for a 1ch 70cm radio,
to monitor and operate a local repeater.
Please e-mail if you know anything!

Hi Dick, well my S/N is 60300967 and mine as the PL Tone distortion
problem. When I talked to Kenwood they just found the way to fix the
problem this last week, or at least made it public. You can listen to your
own signal by listening to your own signal through a scanner or an HT.
Just listen to the difference in the signal with the PL tone on then Off.

That's right. I need the MMB-27 so I can stick it in my car. I also may
need a couple of mounting rings, because the thing was sold to me with two
of them missing also, but for now I'll just start with the braket.
I'm also quite daft with mounting antennas, and the like, so I
could also do with a few pointers on where and how to mount such a beast
and how to keep it secure. Thanks.

help with addresses of shops selling new and used equipment. Are there flea

6 of November? Iwould appreciate any assistance.

Hello!
Does someone can help with any information about programming of Motorola
MC COMPACT (looks like this is its name ;-) repeater? We need to reprogram
it for use in 2m amateur band. Looks like this unit can be hooked to PC
serial port via voltage levels converter, but there is nothing in the manual
about this, except few notes on circuit diagrams.
Looks like our local Motorola distributors doesn't like amateurs so much ;-),
so ANY help will be greatly apperciated...

Yes, the green was the right wire. The reason mine didn't work right
away is that I needed to power up the HT with no batteries. This did the
trick.
Too bad they don't give you a wire to cut for extended rx only (w/o
extended xmit).
