Steve, Congratulations. Should have mentioned it this morning. I visited with Tushar Patel at ECPI this morning and mentioned that you have tower access to Killeen. He is interested in talking with you. So I'm going to forward your phone number. He would also like help setting up a

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] First IC92 trouble. Failed Speaker fyi

2008-12-23 Thread Brad Rehm
Steve, I hope Icom is cooperative and willing to replace the speaker. Wonder if the '92 speaker is different from the one in the '91. I suspect speaker failures are about as likely in one radio as in the other. Thanks for sending the ICF file. Last night, I began the process of understanding

Steve, Just remembered...when I had to replace the speaker in my IC-2AT, I ordered from Mouser. To get the right size, I bought several from their large selection, and together they cost less than one from ICOM. The one I chose also handled more power and sounded better. Just a thought. Brad

George, Thanks for your comments. I made a mistake when I sent the question I intended for Steve to the whole reflector. My apologies to all. It does seem that some of the newer, cost-reduced network gear is sub-standard. Too bad the US FCC doesn't require immunity as well as emissions

[dstar_digital] D-Star archive comments about DSL routers

Steve, I believe I remember someone posting comments about problems with DSL routers. One version was fairly immune to RF and the other, newer one was not. Can't find the discussion in the archive, though. Do you remember this exchange? (I may be remembering it from the topband reflector,

Ray, If your computer has a COM port (with a DB-9 connector on the rear cover), you can plug in the DB-9 connector on the cable and go to work. If yours is a relatively new computer, it may only have USB and Ethernet connectors. If this is the case, you'll need the Com-to-USB adaptor that Steve
