What scares me even more is the fact that
they say I have THREE radios and I only have one!
It is hard to prove the absance of something.

My letter appeared Sat.
As I said in an earlier post, pretty scary.
I will not screw with Mother.
I will call them tomorrow.
My radio was to basicly be a scanner.
Never did the project.
I will return the radio.
J.B.

jbxx

My letter arrived today, VERY Scarey. I will send the radio back , under protest. I sure as hell don't want to screw with Mother. What's even scarier is that they say that I have three radios and I only have one. How the hell am I going to prove that I DON"T have something. Oh well, the best th...

My radio says "key fail" and I was told that this would fix it.

You might want to post it here http://www.genesisworld.com/StolenRadios/
its a pretty good database.

I may have lost the mail if it went to bulk file,
I had 1026 mails when I came back from Thanksgiving,

The "best " IMHO would be the Icom PCR1000. But cheap, it's not. It really isn't that hard to tap the dicriminator point in most radios. If you want , get a cheap scanner with good sensitivity and decent selectivity. Then either try it yourself or get help from a local Ham/ radioshop. J.B....

jbxx

I believe that it will be dependent on the selectivity,
sensitivity, and ability to reject (redundant) signals,
of the equipment in question. Often when a Motoraola
is compared to say, an Icom, for example, you are talking
about two extreme ends of the possibilities.

This question has to do with fusing the ground. Is this only neccessary when going directly to the battery negative? I am under the impression that this is to provide a safety factor in the event that the bond between the batt. negative and the chassis opens, thus using the radio neg. wire to conduc...

jbxx

When you read a codeplug from a radio is there a record
of the downloading that can be recoverd from the radio?
J.B. AD6WX

jbxx

Thank you for the good reply,
you brought forth a couple of important issues
that I had not considered.
This is a project in flux, so it will be going through
quite a few versions.

Also go to QRZ.com and click on practice tests.

Yeh, I don't want to be transmitting full time. We can be pulling up to a couple of hours. FRS/ GMRS sometimes will not even talk from end to end even though we're talking say 1500' . That 1500' can be in a tunnel. By the way, these 750 MCM with 35KV insulation are about 3" diam. each wire. I t...

jbxx

Safety officer??
Bwahhahahha.
Quite seriously though, all this will do at the worst
is shut the machine down. No possible harm done.
Quite frankly when you are dealing with somthing that has this much power. You don't rely on any safety devices.
Besides at this point there aren't any.
J.B. AD6WX

jbxx

I own a few pullers/ tuggers. A couple of Greenlees
an Einsley and a supertugger. I have destroyed all
sorts of equipment with the Greenlees but the
supertugger is about a Greenlee X 10.
The Greenlees could not pull 4-750 MCM over 1000'.
J.B. AD6WX

jbxx

I should clarify the application in mind. I want tobe able to kill a fully loaded 20A circuit. I was experimenting today by remotely faulting a GFI with an SCR, works well. I want to kill a wire pulling machine. The operator of the machine can not hear anything. Im talking about pulling say 4 -750 M...

jbxx

Hmmm, I had an idea last night after sombody nearly got injured at work yesterday. What I want to do is switch a 20 A. outlet remotely by radio ( no power available at the transmitting end). I was thinking along the lines of FRS radios. About no more than 1000' distance, but possibly between floors....

Oops, wrong forum.

Hmmmmm, found this while crawling. Ons step past facinator? INDICTOR is a half duplex embeddable COMSEC device used to secure digital voice or data traffic.

I seem to remember that I could do this once upon a time, but I'll be dammed if I can remember how. Here's the problem. I get on Batlabs, it says that there are 200 new posts. I start slogging through them, then my internet connection drops me . When I get back on there are no new posts. How can I u...

jbxx

Tried changing covers, nada. Any other ideas? Probably isnt worth depoting. Is it even worth looking for a controller? Maybe I can find a parts radio somewhere. I was able to get the codeplug out one time. I have not been able to repeat this though. Tried different RIBs, different computers, removin...

jbxx

More info: Message I'm getting is the :
RIB PORT COMMUNICATION UNNSUCCESSFUL:

here's the rub, I can program a similar HT1000
with all the same equipment.
Bad controller maybe?
I've cleaned the mic connector.
Good battery radio/ RIB (+power cube + UPS)

RIB is on

Same question as Station House but for the ht 1000. What kind of message do you get when you use an older version of RSS than the radio is currently programmed with? AND is there a workaround? Can the radio be de programmed ( if there is such a word). Then reprogrammed with the older version? TNX. i...

It will also do Mil air if you use the correct software.

I bought the Weller WPA-2 today.
Looks like it will do the trick.
Almost 150 bucks though.
Nice regulation, hot air for the SM and
lots of BTU's for up a tower in the wind.
J.B. AD6WX

jbxx

I was wondering what models you guys like
for portable butane soldering irons.
I would like somthing delicate enogh to
work on SM components but gnarley enough
to solder a PL259 in the wind.
Does such a beast exist?

I've got to clean the drool off my computer
now, WOW!

On the mic. topic , but sort of off.
Is there a supplier that carries old Amp
mic connectors? I have been looking for a while
for a connector for a 664 Electrovoice/ Shure mic.
I really like how these things sound. Was state of the
art PA mic in the 60's.
J.B. AD6WX

Yeah, I was sold on XTREE and XTREE GOLD,
pretty much like Windows explorer.

jbxx

Already own one, and a BC 250.

Ha, I just checked the failure message.
It said that I had connected but was
rejected because I was SPAM.
Egad, I've been called many things before,
but I think thats a new low.

Hi Shaun,
sorry it's taken me so long to get back.
I just had an e-mail delivery failure to you,
is this correct:

Tnx. J.B. AD6WX

I remember one time I had a whole telco CO
go down because a cockroach got in between
a contact on a very large three phase motor
contactor for an exhaust fan. It dropped a phase
and burned the motor up. Had a hard time writing
that one up when ROTFLMAO&PM.
J.B. AD6WX

jbxx

Thanks, that got it decoding.
One more dumb question, if I may.
When I turn it to scan. The radio
scans (I think) then gives me the
goof beep after about 14 sec. continuously
until I turn scan off.
Any ideas?
J.B. AD6WX

I know that this has been addressed before, but if I may, I would like to take it a level simpler. I would like to monitor a type II UHF with an XTS3k. Can I program the freqs into a conventional personality, then either disable transmit or put the Xmit freqs on some nonused ham freq. Then just put ...

jbxx

The two programs that I use for the 96 are: Win96 and Trunkstar. They are both very similar. You need something that will program multiple base freqs because you can only program simple setups from the keypad. I understand that this is not exactly what you were asking, but just kinda/ sorta on topic...

I use an argon arc device called a transi-tap.
Never had one hit yet, so I can't really speak

Try Graingers
Cooper Bussman pt # 2A590
#14-#2 60A max.
They are wholesale only, but if you can't get them
to sell to you , I would be happy to help.

In reference to the last post, got me thinking.
Would there be any problem using an aluminum
cab as a ground plane? Seems like it would be OK
to me. May even work better.

My 2 c. I applaud your respect to your father and to not breaking the law. There has been some good advice here. 1.) Not illeagal to have a recieve only if not used for evil.

I'm in the process of makeing an RS232 to TTL converter to program my Bendix armada, using a MAX 232 chip (similar to one of the converters posted on this board) . Has anyone used a Moto RIB to program BK's ? If so, any details would be very much appreciated. J.B. AD6WX Post hoc ergo procter hoc.

Yikes, that last table says I can run 12AWG for
three feet @ 100A. Makes my butt pucker just
thinking about it.
BTW, I understand that the NEC is for buildings,
just thought that it was a good source to compare,
my bad.
