1  eHam Forums / Elmers / Help With PR95 Scanner and Dual Tracking on: January 27, 2004, 08:52:05 PM
  Hi there; there are numerous resources for help on the PRO95.  You didn't mention where you are (city/state will do), so we'll just wing it with PRO95 specific info;
  Check out and/or join the following URLs:

http://www.pro-95.info/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PRO95/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PRO-93_95/

http://www.starrsoft.com/freeware/Win95/default.asp

  The Yahoo groups will no doubt have files that can be used by the Win95 program. Programming the scanner in this way will be a big help as I understand it's much simpler to do with Win95 then it is by hand.
  Now if you would say where you are, I might be able to find a Yahoo group for a scanning-related mailing list for your area.  They too might have Win95 data files you could use.
  The PRO95 Yahoo groups can also tell you about which antenna(s) they found that worked well.  User groups such as these are an invaluable source of information.
  Don't be discouraged if someone says they have a file for a PRO92 or 93.  Don Starr (the author of Win95) has a nifty file converter that will migrate most of the data from the 92 or 93 to a 95.  It's called WinXX Data Converter. Here's the URL (and I hope this doesn't wrap)...

2  eHam Forums / Elmers / What is the best base scanner antenna on: October 17, 2003, 11:52:26 PM
  A lot of people have been impressed by the NilJon antennas, both mobile and base.  But don't take my word for it; check the antennas page on Rich Wells' excellant site, http://www.strongsignals.net

  The antenna and coax page will be must reads (and not just because I rewrote the antenna page, either).  Standard disclaimer - I do write for Strong Signals, so my opinion is slanted  :.))

3  eHam Forums / Emergency Communications / Hand held scanner on: December 02, 2002, 12:42:06 PM
  Having done some public service work using HTs and handheld scanners, one of the biggest headaches is hearing the radio in the first place.  When you are in the middle of a noisy situation, the audio from a handheld scanner is likely to be drowned out- headphones or a good quality earpiece is a definite must.  
  Of course, there are many other considerations- batteries, antennas (who wants to be stuck in the back with a duckie that eventually breaks?), programming and so forth.

  To that end, to help you do some research on what's available out there now, check out:

  http://henney.com/chm/links/scanners.htm#REVIEWS

  Here you can see (and in some cases, order reprints) various reviews of handheld scanners- heck, some of them are right here on Eham.  
  If you go below this section, you will find mailing lists devoted to various radios, along with a link for software that can program those that are PC addressible.  Mailing lists like these are invaluable for finding information on a radio- who better to tell you about a radio than one who owns one?

  Finally, here's a very good site for Mass. freqs and news items...

  http://www.scanmassachusetts.net/

  You might find out more about Mass's plans for digital here.  

  73s and good luck with your research...Mike

4  eHam Forums / Computers And Software / WinRadio Digital Suite on: January 29, 2002, 02:55:13 PM
  There's a fairly active Winradio group on
http://www.qth.net, and a much smaller one on
http://groups.yahoo.com.  You might find some more
specific answers there.

  As to ACARS, I'm not sure how the Digital Suite
is set up, but unlike most digital modes, you *must*
have the squelch open at all times.  The reason is
that there is brief sync tone before each transmission-
if that tone isn't heard, the software won't sync
up.

  Good Luck and 73s  Mike  ka3jjz@erols.com
5  eHam Forums / Computers And Software / Icom R-75 Control on: January 15, 2002, 11:59:49 AM
  Hi; I'm not sure for what kind of apps you would want to program the R75, but there are several packages that support it.  Included in this would
be Scancat (by Jim Springer) and Smart R75 Control
(by an old friend to the hobby, Mark Fine).

  Check out my software page at Strongsignals, and
start checking out the various packages listed there.
the URL is:

6  eHam Forums / Mobile Ham / going mobile in a Toyota 2001 Camry on: June 17, 2001, 08:56:48 PM
  Hmm,. I've been doing some reading, and found that Toyotas in general
sometimes have problems in the fuel pump with them radiating noise
(no, I'm not sure how!).  Also have you bonded the car doors- your message
didn't say.  And it also might be time for an alternator noise filter; the
message didn't say what kind of noise you were experiencing...

 73s and thanx  Mike
7  eHam Forums / Mobile Ham / going mobile in a Toyota 2001 Camry on: May 28, 2001, 03:32:28 PM
  Well I guess the topic says it all.  I want to get my FT8100 into the Camry-
I do have the remote mounting kit, but I'm not sure where to put it.  There
are speakers in the back at the top near the trunk, so I can't put the radio
there (too much chance of inadvertant RF pickup), and I'm having a heckuva
time with finding spots for the speakers.  Anyone?

  I am also interested in anyone doing HF mobile from the Camry.  I'm
thinking of putting a FT817 QRP rig in there, and of course, I'm looking for
any hints for *real* grounds (as in where to find them!) and antennas and
such.  Any hints would be appreciated.

 I'm not sure what a mode AMSAT is- typo, no doubt-
but the following link has several examples you
can listen to....except PSK31.  Just tune to
14070.15 anytime the band is open, you'll hear that
without a doubt.

  Charles, I am going to be traveling to Vancouver on
vacation this summer.  I read your note on eham about
the Internet Linking project some of their repeaters
evidently use.  Do you have a URL to look at?

  Thanx es 73s  Mike ka3jjz@erols.com
10  eHam Forums / Company Reviews / AEA on: December 18, 2000, 03:25:11 PM
  Gene, this was a package that enabled the user to copy FAX and I believe it had some basic RTTY receive
functions as well.  However, Timewave bought out
AEA about 4 years ago, and it is still listed on the
Timewave website (under Amateur Radio/discontinued
products- scroll about 1/2 way down).  They are
evidently still servicing this software.

  If you are looking for FAX software, there's no
better site than the one Marius Rensen of Germany
runs, I believe the URL is:
  http://www.hffax.de

  One possibility for you is using the Tigertronics
BP2M modem with some software.  This little level
converter (which is really what this little gem
is) supports LOTS of different software, tho most of
them is DOS, I think one or two might run under 3.1.
Check http://www.tigertronics.com for information.

  Absolutly, but they are usually found in the 29 mhz
range- usually above 29.5.  Simplex/calling is
29.6, and most pairs are above this- for example,
29.66 out 29.56 in (100 khz seperation).  Note, too,
that they are FM mode.
