Hi All,
I'm just setting up my station ready for satellite operation - antenna
arrives next week, so I went out and bought a second hand FT736 today.
It looks to be in excellent condition, tx and rx on 2 and 70 seems to be
fine, but I'm getting errors whilst trying to use the SAT switch and use it
in duplex mode. I have read the manual thouroughly and still get the same
errors.
I set the SAT switch to Rx and try to enter a frequency / mode, but the
display says ERROR and I can' clear it. The manual says to press REV but
that doesnt work.
Have I got a faulty rig or I am doing somethiong wrong?
HELP.

A great crowd was on hand at the annual Desert RATS HamFest in Palm Springs.
It really makes me wonder, though, if this hobby can sustain the 2- and
3-day conventions that are held here. I mean, parking to this event was
free, and so was admission. Lunch was only five bucks. No, there were not
twenty break-out sessions ... but attendees were treated to several "bigger"
dealers' wares, some local concerns, a badge maker, and an outdoor swap meet.
Things might be changing out here in California after this year's PACIFICON
and ARRL SW Division Convention. We'll see ...
On a brighter note, THANK YOU to Patrick in Arizona, and the gentlemen in
Baton Rouge and Texas who we worked via AO-27 at a little after 1PM Pacific
Standard Time this afternoon. In response to a question of, "How far do you
usually reach?" from the group, I had just finished telling them that for
AO-51, SO-50, and AO-27, the software programs' footprints have always been
a little "conservative" - as we then contacted Louisiana and Texas.
And two hams purchased the two Arrow antennas that HRO-Anaheim brought out -
at the special price.

Russia has a whole lot of satellites that are no longer functioning. China,
too. The United States, of course, is responsible for the largest amount of
space trash.

John,
I just saw an advertisement in QST (page 6 February issue) for a Yaesu
FTM-350R dual band rig that may be interesting. It has 2m & 440, with
1200/9600 packet.
Other features are bluetooth capability as well as APRS/GPS, as well as
other features. It's not available yet in the U.S. It still has to get FCC
approval. Looks like we'll have an option to the Kenwood TM-710.
Has anyone outside the US had any experience with it yet?

It has been brought to my attention that several individuals have had
difficulties in accessing/obtaining this file from my FTP site due to
the TCP wrappers that I have installed. These wrappers were used to
reduced the number of intrusions that were occurring. However, they aslo
limit access based on specific criteria that not everyone is able to
accommodate. Hence I have put the file in another location for those of
you who may still want this file. Again as a reminder, the file is about
35mb in size and is a zip file.
Use the following pointer:

Hopefully this will make the access a bit easier.
Regards,
Reid, W4UPD

Hi All,
They had them on the table at the Jackson, MS hamfest yesterday. They
have a very big display that would be easy to read in a mobile install.
Price was $599 for this dealer. For those of us that use 220mhz,
we were disappointed that it only has 1 watt on that band.
73 to all,
Rick WA4NVM
