its not free any more!  :-)

Ya It was kind of tongue in cheek, but I did sound kind of mean.
don't wish him ill will.
I use his site as well.
bummer to be him during the black out.

well, I think you absolutely no leg to stand on, with the price for shipping, you saw it, you wanted it, you saw the shipping price, and you bought it.
It's called being responsible for your own actions.
If you thought the shipping was excessive you should have contacted eBay and filed a complaint.
And not rewarded his shipping price, by buying it.
It sounds as if you got a pretty good deal.
You said better then half price.
so that, is that.
On the other hand, you need to send his email about adding you to a national black list, to eBay customer service, that is a blatant violation of eBay policy.
and it's probably bull pucky  anyway.

 

 
nice one

well, qrz is down again.
It went away during the NA QSO party contest, blocking contest participants from accessing their logs, AND CALL SIGN LOOK UP.
the web site is still down a day later.
It's a bad weekend for that web site administrator.

Hard to believe that the site couldn't be brought up with in a day.

Note to site owner,  leave someone  in charge of your company  when you go on vacation.
DUH.....................................

Well,  if he sent you the envelope in the mail, he has committed federal mail fraud, contact the postmaster at your [post office and press charges, through the postal police. And I am sure the secret service would like to have a LOOK AT THE CHECK.( INTERSTATE BANKING FRAUD)
TAKE THE CHECK TO YOUR LOCAL AND STATE POLICE AND PRESS CHARGES.
Do not let this go unchallenged.

your friend who is three miles away should have no problem hitting you with an average wifi set up and a yagi.
here in the Mojave desert I get my wifi on 2.4 ghz at 500 mw over 22 miles away, no problem, with a lawn chair type grill dish.
Look for a small pc card wifi set up like a orinoco gold card with an external antenna connection, or a high power 300 mw buffalo card, with an external antenna connection and a pig tail and a  yagi.( a cheapy tv rotor is even better.
3 miles is nothing to worry about.
The cards and antennas are for sale on ebay as a kit every day. good line of site is better.
good luck

After ignoring the HAM  COP WEENIES, like flies buzzing around, I use a  high power buffalo pc card or an orinoco gold card  with an external connector on the card, with a pig tail and either a small yagi or a small hersheys kiss type  vertical mag mount. both available on ebay all the time as a package. they work great
the hammy cops types, usually live in back waters
 that are behind the times and don't offer free wireless internet  that is usually available in cosomopolitan settings.
so ignore them.
buy the kit, then you know you have the right connector for your pigtail.
I even had a set up once with a small tv rotor, and a 2.4 yagi, it worked fantastic.
Just look for free internet connections offered by smart retail outlets, that want your business.
I use net stumbler, available on the internet as a free down load, it finds, and with a gps conected to the pc, logs and maps free access points as you drive around.
have fun, you will love war driving.
ignore the hammy cops wanna be guys...........bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

splat!
 

use this chart to designate your tnc in the unproto Tocall command parameter. this tells the aprs network what tnc firmware you have

APRS TO-CALL VERSION NUMBERS                            9 May 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             WB4APR
Added APDPRS   for D-Star originated packets
Added APnnnU/D for uSmart devices
Added APDFxx   for automated DF units
Added AP1WWX   for TAPR T-238+ WX station
Added APCLxx   for celllular applications
Added APFGxx   for Flood Gages

In APRS, the TOCALL is not used for packet routing as is normally
done in AX.25.  So we use it for two things.  The initial APxxxx is
used as a group identifier to make APRS packets instanantly
recognizable on shared channels.  Most applicaitons filter out all
non APRS packets.  The remaining 4 bytes of the field are available
to indicate the software version number or application.  The
following applications have requested a TOCALL number series:

REGISTERED ALTNETS:
-------------------

ALTNETS are uses of the AX-25 tocall to distinguish specialized traffic
that may be flowing on the APRS-IS, but that are not intended to be
part of normal APRS distribution to all normal APRS software operating
in normal (default) modes.  An example is when testing; an author
may want to transmit objects all over his map for on-air testing, but
does not want these to clutter everyone's maps.  He could use the
ALTNET of "TEST" and client APRS software that respects the ALTNET
concept should ignore this packet.

An ALTNET is defined to be ANY AX.25 TOCALL that is NOT one of the
normal APRS TOCALL's.  THe normal TOCALL's that APRS is supposed to
process are:  ALL, BEACON, CQ, QST, GPSxxx and of course APxxxx.

The following is a list of ALTNETS that may be of interest to other
users.  This list is by no means complete, since ANY combination of
characters other than APxxxx are considered an ALTNET.  But this list
can give consisntecy to ALTNETS that may be using the global APRS-IS
and need some special recognition:

   none at this time

de WB4APR, Bob

check out byonics microtrak 4.its a full tnc and 2 meter transceiver all in one.
he also makes a 8 watt amp for i.
very compact.
check out byonics.com

I am installing a vhf uhf radio tmd 700a  in my Honda ridgeline, and a aprs microtraker tnc as well.
the RV is a tent trailer, with a solid roof.
it is a  Fleetwood evolution 3

I am installing new antennas on my truck and RV.
What kind of antennas cant be mounted on fiberglass and adhesive mounted on glass( not through glass) do I need to run a ground wire to the antenna mount.
I am mounting some diamond mobile dual band fold over antennas. am I ok, or do I need to run a ground.

I'm looking for the best mobile speaker for my tm-d700 and my yaesu 5100
