I wonder if anyone has noticed the absence of aerials on Hitlers bunker, even on quite early photographs there are none visible, and yet in documents there is frequent reference to radio comm from there, so its not just landlines that were used from there.....perhaps someone knows the answer to this puzzle.....

            jim g4rek....

Thanks, i will get a hub switch today

               best wishes Jim..........

Okay thanks
          I was hoping that i could split the ethernet cable at the top into two to feed the other p.c. without running another cable all the way downstairs... some sort of 1 into 2 like usb hubs..

                jim g4rek.......

Okay thanks a lot i will do the first option

           best wishes jim.............

 I share a connection to broadband with a ethernet cable plugged into the router and feeding the pc upstairs, can i use another pc sharing the same cable in another room, this would require some sort of ethernet one into two adapter i guess ?
  I cannot use wi fi so got to be a cable connection.

             Hopefully Jim Tylee.........

P.S. this would be three p.c. conected at the same time....

Thanks you guys,
           thats put my mind at rest on that one.

                  jim............  

Okay thanks Bill,
                 I'm probrably being too worried, but as just purchased a new p.c. wanted to be on the safe side....

              best jim..........

Hi,
  just run a 25 meter ethernet cable from ground floor to first floor, to get internet on both pc's, my ft897d in next to the pc on the first floor should i put ferrite rings on both ends of the cable or am i being too worried about rf damaging either p.c....
         
              thanks jim tylee      

No mate there was not the option to use the clock visible on the display...perhaps the display was also used on other radios..although never seen a display like it..

       thanks Jim............

Does anyone know the purpose of the small clock which is visible at a certain angle on the display screen...i had forgotten about this until a friend mentioned it the other day...noticed this when first bought many years ago..perhaps there is some way to energise this?

                      Jim...g4rek........

Has anyone who has done the ssb drive mod(cutting diode d99)experienced audio distortion on transmit if they are running more than 40 watts. it sounds to the receive station like rf getting into the mike ciorcuit.

            Jim..g4rek

  Okay thanks for the info, there isnt any relay contacts in modern radio's these days that i could use to ground the contacts on the 2100b amp, so i will put together something.
               
                       Jim  g4rek..........

Hi,
  does anyone have any info on using a solid state rig with a 2100b amp, even a proven circuit diagram would be most useful...

                   thanks jim g4rek........

 Thanks for the info Peter, i did not know that there was a mki and mk2 version, I swopped mine for a few power supplies a long time ago. Apart from getting it working on the correct sideband its been great on 80 meters. changed the inverter power transistors a year ago because one decided to go short circuit.

               Thanks again Jim.........

Hi Charles,

            Yes i thought i would try my luck again as i have just found my lucky rabbits foot
