   Yea I have one rascal just ordered another one for the TS-2000 this way I have 2 one for my Yaesu FT-757 and one for my TS-2000 I figured that it would be easier to buy the rascal then to try to figure out the internal TNC

UPDATE: I have downloaded a linux cdrom that boots to the cd it had 2 mp3's of morse code in rythem like music one with words and one with out(only has the a through z) but it seems to be working better then those boring arrl cd's I hope in a few weeks I can remember a-z and the rest will come naturally.I listen to them on a mp3 player through out the day and at nite when I go to bed I have picked up more letters other then what I already know such as z,b,d,c 4 letters in a week I dont think is bad ... is it?
   Anyone know of or have the musical morse code cd that can put it up for download? email me
THANKS ALL for the tips and advice hopefully will see and talk to ya on HF

  I have been trying to learn the code now for 2 years only to fail to comprehend dits/dahs to letters I know e,i,s,h,t,m,o,a,n and thats it if I couldpass the test knowing those I would be a morse code speed wiz.I tried to sleep listening to the code(mental learning while sleeping)only to wake in the am with a headache,morse code tutor,cdroms,pen paper,visual chart.......etc.........It seems like I ll be a tech forever.If I cannot learn the code I ll just hang up the ticket and not renew it 2m repeater work is no fun anymore and most repeater ops dislike new call signs on their repeater.
   What I am asking is there a way to break this learning disibility? learning by sound is not really my game I learn FASTER by reading and doing.

THANKS in ADVANCE

   WOW I didnt know it was a crime to ask...LOL some of us just cannot run to AES or another ham outlet and fork over 1 to 2500.00 USD just to get a rig that transmits on MARS freq's.I have been to that site and havent found anything that helps what they say to look for doesnt exist in my rig and if it did it would open up the power to 100 watts on all bands,freq's ssb,am,fm and that I DONT want 5 to 10 watts is fine by me.......I dont need 100 watts 5 watts is better anyway......

THANKS

THANKS

  Ok I have been a Tech no code since 1999 I have heard that the code requirement to upgrade to general is not needed BUT I have heard that the requirement is 5wpm to get the general ticket,PLEASE advise I am learning the code at 20wpm 5wpm(farnsworth method)but its not easy and I fear that I ll fail the code test.

PLEASE advise

   Hi all I have just sent a e-mail to join MARS Navy/marines all I have is a HTX-242 that can be set to transmit/recieve MARS/CAPS would that make for a good MARS/HAM rig? it will be just a TEMP thing until I can get enough money and reseearch the rigs I want/need for HAM/MARS use.

   Ok I have a tech license no code I just looked at the band plan SIMPLIX would be considered voice comms? and the 146.520 is the national SIMPLEX freq so what I am asking the other freq's can be used as voice simplex other then the CW only bands correct sorry but I am confused with simplex and band plans to much information aquired in to short of a time........LOL
 I dont think my HTX 242 is able to do simplex work though
Thanks
