The 100th member joined the NTMS-HSMM Yahoo Group. W6QWH Charles Seevers has the honor of being #100 Sorry, Charles. We don't have any free groceries or...
This month's meeting will be at the Lockheed-Martin Recreation Center in Ft.Worth Texas. We will be guests of the Lockheed-Martin Radio Association. The...
I have added serial port support to javAPRSSrvr so the IGate and digipeater functions can communicate directly with a KISS mode TNC (no ax.25 kernel support...
The NT5NT access point is off the air for replacement. The old WAP11 based AP will be replaced with a WRT54G based AP and the DC power lines up to the roof...
A dinner meeting for HSMM has been planned for Thursday, Mar 17 at Chuck's Hamburger, 502 Spanish Village Shopping Center, NW Corner Coit and Arapaho in North...
A small and cheap 2m to 2.4GHz transverter. It occurs to me, now that the Wild Ride is coming up to us, that when you are hanging 100ft on a tower, that...
Netstumbler has builtin signal strength indicator as well as a realtime graph. Just put a laptop at the base of the tower and use a HT to tell the guy on the...
I use a Pocket PC and Netstumbler to align antennas on long links. Hook it directly to the antenna with a pigtail. Works great. 73! A.J. Farmer, AJ3U ...
Yeah, a simple (at least on paper) upconverter on one end & a downconverter on the other might be the trick. It "should" be very easy to get at least 200mW of...
I take it you were using a pccard sleeve? I haven't seen a compact flash card with an external antenna port. Hmmm, I wonder what those sleeves go for these...
Yeah, but I was trying to avoid that. I was thinking in general terms, for all events where it may not be feasible to haul up a long, lossy tx cable....
Y'know, strobes isn't that much of an issue. We had visual on the end point the last time, and it didn't help pointing one of the 24db grids. Greg couldn't...
Your right and it works very good for this purpose. I have 9 mile point to point internet connection in Kansas that I tuned using this method on my tower...
John, I don't think a truly cheap 2m to 2.4GHz transverter is possible, unless you can find something on the surplus market that is easy to convert. However, a...
Bob, Actually, I was hoping to drag Joe into this. He and I were talking about this some weeks ago, and he is thinking that it might be possible if a really...
... I've found the same problem and solved it by using at least a 45 deg panel array and BDA rather then a higher gain and sharper lobe antenna. ... There's...
... is ... deg panel ... Yeah. Boy, I just hate to do that here, though. The amount of 802.11n activity is quite impressive, and we're pointing out into an ...
Got my $45 TNC-X kit from John Hansen, got it built up last night. It's a Terminator 3 duration kit - which means that I watched all of Terminator 3 while...
I have an Amigo PD-600C which has a built in PC Card slot (no sleeve needed). They don't make them any more though - the company went belly-up. I have also...
Ok. A quick eBay search for iPaq sleeves puts them in the $39 range, which isn't TOO bad. Or, at least, a lot better than they were the last time I looked,...

... I have a metric boat load of 2.4ghz TV down converters that we retrieved from heartland when they closed shop here in Tulsa. I'm planning on taking them...
I have a SSB 2.4GHz to 2M down converter (UBK-2000) that would probably work for receive. (Transmit into the thing and very bad things happen!) I also have a...
Guys, I've been able to build the Sveasoft Alchemy 6.0 load and flash it onto my v2.2 WRT54G. It seems to work and after putzing around with scp (secure copy ...
Hi I've got a couple of things I'm pondering. 1. Is learning how to design matching networks for power amplifiers (e.g. 802.11) (cheap 2. Is putting the theory...
