Nevertheless, as it appears that it's probably a homebrew unit, I recommend you open the cover and see what chip(s) it uses, then do some research to reverse-engineer it. I have several pieces of homebrew equipment that you'd swear were factory made - but in the case of a synthesized VFO, the fact that it was the subject of a QST article back in the 1960s was the only thing that gave it away as a homebrew unit of extraordinary quality. Signetics made some compressor/compandor chips back in the 1970s and 1980s - IIRC the NE571 is one such IC. Good luck and 73, John W3JN |

My problem with the whole mess was this: I had no idea this was an all text,
no binary format news group. No where was this written or explained. Another fact is: there are other pics listed in this group, but no nasty messages posted to them. As it appeared to me at the time, I had invaded a good old boys plot of turf and was being told I was not welcome. I have been a user of the Usenet system for years and have never been treated as I have been on this net. Does not say much for the users of this group. I left chicken band in the early 90's to escape the rude ill mannered people that were there and became a ham due to what I heard on the bands. People talked with each other and did not use foul language and call names and were polite. That is why I came to the group to try and get some information on a piece of equipment. The first response was a "YOU DID A NO-NO". What was written you may call polite, but I beg to differ. The Usenet is just that, a Usenet. It is for all of us to use and not for a select few to control. On another note, I did open it up and it uses Motorola chips which I can not cross. The dates on the chips are 1970 and it appears to operate off 15 volts using two 7 1/2 volt batteries. I did get it to operating and it seems to work well on my Drake TR-4 and my SB-401. Got good reports and much better PEP with little clipping. Thanks for the help and I am sorry for blowing off some steam, but I am the type of person, that when jumped at with no explanation, will jump back. If I do something wrong, tell me what I did wrong and ask me not to do it again. Go the other way and I can get very hard headed. I don't take kindly to being TOLD what I will do.

Doug
It looks as if you have a ham call but I assume it is a fake email address as I don't expect this sort of language from a licenced ham - at least in VK, where this sort of language is confined to CB, but maybe the US is different.

Another fact is: there are other pics listed in this group, but no nasty messages posted to them. It's explained in news.announce.newusers. NONE of the big eight groups allow any binaries. This is just so fundamental that anyone who has been through the introductory material in news.announce.newusers has been told a dozen times about this. Posting binaries to discussion groups is about the most rude possible thing you can do on Usenet. As it appeared to me at the time, I had invaded a good old boys plot of turf and was being told I was not welcome. I have been a user of the Usenet system for years and have never been treated as I have been on this net. This "net" is just part of the big eight. If you did something equivalently boneheaded to any of the other big eight groups you would have got a similar response. I'd mail this to you, but you seem to have some sort of goofy challenge/response mail system. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
