DAREN of WV News November 2, 2008 (.851)

DAREN News, are articles and information about the Digital Amateur Radio
"Emergency" Network of WV, which operates on 145.69 MHz. Anyone having any
information about DAREN, or Amateur Radio in general, and would like to share
it with others, may send it to WA8LLM @ PKBGWV on 145.69 MHz, or to my E-Mail:
wa8llm@yahoo.com. A State Wide DAREN NET is operated every Saturday from 7:00
pm to 10:00 pm, and lately, before and after those hours. The DAREN Net
Announcement, showing the MAIN NCS, ALTERNATE NCS, NODEs accessible to both,
and the previous week's check-ins, are posted by Thursday on most of the Main
county DAREN PBBS'. The DAREN News can also be found on the wc8ec.com website.
It's hard to believe that it's that time of the year again, when we have to
set our clocks back an hour. It just seems like we set them forward an hour a
few days ago. After you've set your clocks in the house, it's time to set the
clo in your Packet Radio Terminal NODE Controllers (TNC), both your home
station and any remote, hilltop or mountaintop stations, both DAREN, and all
other regular Packet stations. When changing the time in the Packet stations,
it's a good time to give them a "RESET", which may help them operate better.
The information given here is for most of the Kantronics TNCs, KPC-2, KPC-3,
KPC-4, KPC-9612, KAM, KAM Plus, KAM-XL, KAM-98, etc. Not only is it a good
time to reset the TNC, it's also a good time to do othr things. For one
thing, it's a good reminder to change the battery in your Smoke and CO
Detectors. With Winter coming, and the house sealed up with the doors and
windows closed, CO can build up from furnaces and stoves, so you want to make
sure the detectors work properly. Here's how to change the time in your TNCs.
If you're at the TNC just type the command "DA", <space>, followed by the two
number year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. Example: the command for
the date of November 2, 2008, at 2:00 am would be; DA 081102020000, and then
press <enter>. If you're connecting to a remote station over the air, you must
give your passcode. After you get the (prompt:) command, then do the "DA"
command. After you finish setting the time, and get the (prompt:) command
back, do a "RESET" command. Doing the "RESET" command may clear out some minor
problems that have been building up for the last few months, or the last time
you did it. While you're into you remote station, and if you haven't done so
already, now would be a good time to change the "MYA" to "DAREN". I know there
are still several remote stations that are using the same "MYA" ALIAS as their
"MYN" I found that's it's not necessary to make the "MYA" and the "MYN" the
same. By changing the "MYA" to "DAREN" will allow any necessary, or EMERGENCY
BEACONs cover the DAREN system a lot better.
Be sure to get out and vote this Tuesday, if you haven't done so already. It
our right to do so and it may keep our country free.
There were 56 check-ins to this week's State Wide DAREN Net. My wife Dot,
KC8HAI, needs only one more check-in to make 600. Steven O'Dell, N8SNR, needs
only one more check-in to make 400.
