As best I can tell, this boils down to "We WISP, WiFi, and Municipal operators would like to eliminate amateur radio's primacy on the 2.4 GHz band". Have you considered mesh topologies, which reduce
To make things even more confusing, Earthlink is having email problems too. I also use Comcast as a pipe, but my web site and email accounts are hosted by Earthlink. Starting mid-August, a small frac
DXView will control your Alfa Spid, can be configured to use standard baud rates between 300 and 19200, and is free; its available via www.dxlabsuite.com . Its not clear to me when the undocumented c
On the topic of chewing critters, I just had to replace my 250' rotator motor cable again. I started out with using multiconductor cable for the motor and position sense signals (for an M2 rotator).
DXView computes beam headings from your QTH to a specified callsign, and displays them both numerically and on a world map that also displays the solar terminator. Its free software that you download
1 foot of 450 ohm ladder line weighs .4 oz, so 500 feet would be ~12.5 lbs, which seems feasible. 73, Dave, AA6YQ I don't think there is a balloon out there that will hold up 460 feet of RG213... Eve
I've been looking at that logo all day today. Can't figure out what that fan thing is supposed to be. What is it? <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Operating_tesla_coil.jpg> 73, Dave, AA6YQ _______

If your M2 rotator controller is connected to your PC, DXView will give you "point and shoot" capability; it's free, and available via www.dxabsuite.com 73, Dave, AA6YQ --Original Message-- From: tow
Maybe no need to reinvent the wheel, *if* the 2800 can be equipped with an RS-232 port, and if it emulates one of the well-known rotator protocols protocol, but not one used by any other rotator con
But why roll your own? N1MM Logger, for one, controls the Orion. All you need is to add the RS-232 port. provides the required functionality, including the ability to select the right heading by cli
DXView, a component of the free-ware DXLab Suite, can directly control AlfaSpid, ARSWIN, Green Heron, Heath, Hygain, Idiom Press, LP-Rotor, M2 (RC28000P-A and RC2800PX), Prosistel, SARtex, TIC, Track
My sincere apologies to AA6YQ and the list. My post was a copy/paste intended as a private response for a different message entirely. I screwed up ... sorry. 73, Dave, AA6YQ Dave AB7E On 3/18/2011 1
More OT & re at least a related technology: Long ago, I was involved with the DEC core memory design and core making. Core making was an "interesting" operation since the only the "bakers" knew the
