I don't want to belabor this too much. I wrote a volume about it to my
Director - never heard a single word back from anyone.
Just let it be known that if an EMT ever said "I'm not going to treat anyone
if I can't treat everyone!" he would be fired on the spot.
The ARC didn't refuse to set up s
Tim,
While I agree with much of what you say, I did not get the same
impression from the QST comments about not providing H&W traffic.
My understanding was that this was a ARC decision so that it would be
more "fair" for everyone since not all shelters had equivalent radio
communications avail
Amateur Operators add no value to emergency communications,
unless we are able to provide a service where others cannot.
I see this as being the focus of any discussion concerning
"use radio" or "use Sprint".
Why in the world would any Incident Commander hand write
a NTS Radiogram for "one of thos
Danny,
You are correct on what you say. I would be willing
to bet right now that the local governments do not have any idea of what we can
do for them. I belong to a local ARES club here and I know for a fact that even
our EMA office does not know what we can provide for them locally. The
I really wonder if we are thinking in the same terms anymore. It seems to
me that hams need to fill in the space where there exists no other
communications, much as we have done in the past. Local emergencies such as
tornados, floods, landslides etc, knock out local communications from the
danger
The ARRL folks should not be shocked at what has happened. When they negotiate
agreements with other agencies (e.g. the American Red Cross) that prevent
amateurs from collecting outgoing message traffic at emergency shelters, what
do they expect?
The ARRL admitted in one of the latest QST's (N
It seems to me that if the E-mail system is involved at
all then Ham Radio is mostly irrelevant. Such messages
would likely to be rare except out of devastated areas
and even then folks are already deploying digital relay
stations to quick-up critical Internet access.
The need also presumes the a
Historically, most the NTS traffic was done via CW. It took more than a
generation to get acceptance of BPL (Brass Pounder's League) for non CW
voice modes. RTTY digital was used some, but I would have to say that it
was always a niche area.
For those of us who used to be NCS (Net Control Stati
Thank you very much, Patrick. This was the "problem." It is so simple

Hello Rick,
You must have selected the "Software mixer" option of the mixer menu on the
Configuration screen. In that case, the sound card mixer is managed directly
by the program, this to adjust the optimum level (Automatic Gain Control).
The problem is the diversity of sound card mixers which
