Re: [AMRadio] FS: High Voltage Caps $2 and up
Brian, would you happen to have a feedthrough capacitor rated at .02 or so mfd at 5,000 volts. These were made by Sprague and had radial leads in a metal jacket. I believe that they were about 1 inch or so in diameter. I used them on an 813 amplifier to bring high voltage to the tank circuit. One of them shorted to the case. Thank you.

Better yet, set a 2 meter hand held to low power and feed receiver audio into the mike jack and use another hand held to listen.

[AMRadio] wireless cross-technology
In the discussion about systems letting us go portable around the yard and keep up with an AM QSO, does anyone have experience with the wi-fi systems as to whether they can be adapted? Apparently there is an older 802 type of system being superceded, and the older ones are really cheap. They provide RF coverage, but I'm not sure what would be needed at the other end to obtain the basic receive audio. Same with these "whole house" TV remote control units. They are marketed to people with only one LNB for the rooftop dish, who wish to control the dedicated box's output split across televisions in several locations in the house. Seems that stream, too, could be adapted to carry a basic audio channel. I'm using an old set of infrared headphones that the earpieces wore out on. Took the receiver guts out of the thing, put it all in a pager-sized plastic box that holds a 9V battery and has a headphone jack on it. The transmit end, normally driven by the television's audio output, now is driven by a tap from the mixing console (which, in turn, has receive audio on it). Range is pretty good. I've put the transmitter in a window so it can "see" most of the yard, and it's maybe 100 feet around, more at night. Paul/VJB __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [AMRadio] wireless cross-technology
Yes, you can buy this appliance that looks somewhat like a stereo receiver. It works with your wireless network to receive digital RF signals, and you send stereo sound over to the thing. Set it up anywhere in or near your house and stream your MP3 audio etc. or any other audio source that goes through the sound card on the computer. You can buy them at most larger electronics retailers nowadays. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GETTING ANYTHING FROM 'BEST BUY' (also known as worst buy) BECAUSE THEIR PREDATORY STORE POLICIES ALLOW THEIR EMPLOYEES TO LIE ABOUT HTE PRODUCTS AND THEN IF YOU LOSE THE RECEIPT LIKE I DID, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO KEEP THE GARBAGE PRODUCT Your mileage may vary of course, but a few of these stores like Target, Best Buy and a couple of others are getting REALLY tight with their return policies. This case was different - the guy actually lied to me, and because I lost the receipt the bastards refuse to take it back EVEN toward an exchange on a product that WILL meet my needs. FYI - This customer, who has spent thousands of dollars at Best Buy will, ON PRINCIPLE, never buy ANYTHING from those stupid, greedy S.O.B.s again.

IF one rebroadcasts amateur reception, via a VHF/UHF frequency, are they required to ID regularly, for that transmission as an AUX tranmitter? John
[AMRadio] 811A settings for TV-2C
Well - was ready to test all my spare 811A's this evening but when I dug out the TV-2C tube tester the roll chart does NOT have an entry for 811...sigh.. Anyone out there have the correct settings for the 811 on the TV-2C ??? And if I am begging maybe the settings for 812 as well - (one can hope !!!) The chart has setting for 805, 829, 832 et al...but no 811..812.. tnx for the help...oz Dan L Osborne WB5AFY [EMAIL PROTECTED] 972-465-4221 (Work) EM04id
[AMRadio] Another FM Stereo XMTR
Check out www.veronica.co.ukk. This company sells several kits and assembled units. I have one, and know where another may be available if anyone is interested. They are fully tuneable, but not synthesized. Thus, they do drift somewhat initially. They even sell a little power supply to go with the transmitter, but you don't really need that if you already have a 12 volt dc supply available. Mine will cover my entire house and city lot yard with only one or two noisy spots. Mike Duke, K5XU American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs

A LONG time ago, back in the early 80's, my dad bought a simple phono-oscillator, that was built up on a PL-55 plug. Whoever was making 'em, requested that you specify the Ham VHF frequency you wanted to use, they put the right xtal in it, and then you could plug this device into the headphone jack of your transciever, and take your handy-talkie in the back yard, or wherever, and listen to your HF radio, through your HT, while you were doing something else. This was in the early 80's, and it was nothing more than a modern design of a circuit that came out in the early days of amplified music (credit to Les Paul) Surely, someone can *build* something similar with todays goodies? We are still hams and experimenters, are we not? -- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR

Actually, you could get away with using higher power on that band, since it is the 902-928 MHz ham band! You would have to identify your transmissions if you did that, possibly with a callsign such as YOURCALL/AUX or YOURCALL/A. But it is a ham band and you are licensed to run up to 1500 W PEP on it.

Re: [AMRadio] FM transmitter
From: "Brian Carling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (This actually refers to the British licensing of radio and TV receivers. Both require a license and they actually go around in vans to "ctach" and punish persons listening without a license!) I have been told that those vans were purely "psychological warfare" and had no real means to detect receiving equipment. It was a scare tactic to frighten the public into thinking they had better purchase a licence. I suppose they could monitor TV sweep oscillator or local oscillators in superhets, but with hundreds of sets operating in a city environment it would have been difficult to pinpoint an "unlicensed" one. When I lived in France they had a similar law. But I went to a fleamarket and picked up an old 1930's vintage "tombstone" longwave/MW/SW broadcast receiver and used it, and nobody ever said anything. I remember it was quite a novelty amongst tenants in the apartment building, because most of them had never before seen one of those old radios actually work (this was in the early 70's).

They did monitor for the local oscillators. I saw them on more than one occasion patrolling with their highly directional antenna. It was a rotatable dipole with lots of loading inductance along the element. It was conical shaped tapering to a narrow outer end, and was about 4-6 feet in length. It looked quite impressinve painted in G.P.O. green livery the same color as the vehicle - a Morris MInor 1000 van! Same kind of vehicle as a VW bug only British - smaller and lower to the ground. > When I lived in France they had a similar law.

Re: [AMRadio] FM transmitter
Be very careful - keep your FM transmitters under the Part 15 limits or you might get busted! Putting a big antenna on even a low power unit will exceed the allowed limits I won't worry about it as long as the signal is not audible beyond the boundaries of my property. I live on 100 acres, and it's not anyone's damn business what rf environment I generate within the confines. In order to get coverage from the house to the ham shack, I need about 100 feet of solid range. The nearest house nextdoor to me is about 1000 ft. away. Even here, a relatively rural part of the country, the FM band is pretty well loaded. There are only a handful of open channels in the entire band. I suspect if a weak signal did leak across my property line, it would be totally swamped out because of the capture effect of FM. I'm not interested in transmitting on cell phone frequencies or SHF ham bands. I just want to extend the range of streaming audio to all the existing FM radios in my house and hamshack. This is not an amateur radio type of project. I'd rather concentrate my experimenting and building to my actual ham station. I am just looking for a high quality, low power transmitter than can be made to work with a minimum of effort and hassle. Don k4kyv ___ This message was typed using the DVORAK keyboard layout.

RE: [AMRadio] FM transmitter
Don, The transmitter I pointed out, or a lower power version, will do very nicely, its got very good fidelity. To reduce the range, you can just use one of those rubber ducky antenna's. They used to sell .4 watt, 1 watt, and 4 watts. Mine has been working great for years, although I should check the range.
