I have 3 battery packs with mine, if they are the same and you can operate your RACAL portable in your country, I can send you one, for free, you will have to get 10 new size D nicad cells of course. >I have been also the AMPRNET Coordinator for Cuba since 1992, but there is >little TCPIP activity and we have no links, either RF or wired to the >rest of the >44.network.

I will never give up though, I have 2 X 9k6 UHF ports and 2 X 1k2 ports here in Athens, an APRS IGATE and a TELPAC NODE in LINUX in 4 frequencies. >OK.

Hmm, well I have a VERTICAL DELTA LOOP for 40 - 10 meters on my roof (15 meters above ground) but my FT-1000MP only outputs 100 watts, and on DIGITAL modes I use 50 W but it is worth a try. >It makes a lot of difference.

I prefer like you to spend money on a PTC controller (money well spent IMO) and use low power and a cheaper laptop. More ecological I think. hi hi hi!!! No linears or huge aerials here. Also I prefer to be able to operate DIGITAL (error free digital that is) with a QRP Rig while walking on the mountains, or sitting at a picnic table hence the need for a robust digital mode and of course a robust digital modem. >73, > >Jose, CO2JA --- 73 de Demetre Valaris - SV1UY e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AX25 PBBS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sv1uy.ampr.org/~sv1uy http://www.athnet.ampr.org/~sv1uy Announce your digital presence via our Interactive Sked Page at http://www.obriensweb.com/drsked/drsked.php Yahoo!
