Force 12 C3

[HENRYPOL at aol.com]

It seems that Force 12 has some good antennas based on the comments noted on
this reflector.  So I am considering getting one of the C3s for CONTESTING.
Can anyone supply me with a copy of Force 12's C3 antenna assembly manual.  I
have their catalog and have seen all of the ads but want some more details
before I spend my family's entertainment budget (reference the thread on
Wifes, Kids, and Contests) on another "XXXX!" antenna.
I will be glad to send SASE and pay copying cost.

Good Luck to everyone in the CQWW SSB CONTEST this weekend.  I will be
operating single band, single op, low power on 10 only.  Hope there is some
decent propagation this time.

Dear contesters,

I've got an opportunity to use the new ICOM 775 DSP
for CW sweepstakes.

I have been using an IC 738, which has worked perfectly
with CT9.22, telling CT it was a 737, and changing the
address on the 738 to "3CH" which, I guess, is what CT
is looking for.  As I said, it works great.  This may be
of use to other contesters who have moved to a 738.

I tried the same scheme on the 775, setting the 775
address to 3CH, but still telling CT it was a 737.
No dice.  It tells me "ICOM radio timeout." Any hints?
Do I need to tell CT it's some other radio?  Do I need
to fix the adress? Help!

If anyone has solved this for the IC775DSP, I'd sure
like to know about it.  When I've got a solution, I'll
make it available to anyone else who asks.

For now, I'd sure love it to play correctly for the
SSCW contest next weekend!

Subject: SUBSTITUTE FOR NEC PS2501-1?
Message-ID: <9509278148.AA814852827 at espmail.email.com>


I am trying to help a friend build the Kenwood computer interface
described in the QST article but am having no luck in locating
the NEC PS2501-1 optoisolators that are shown in the schematic and
don't really want to pay a second source dealers price.  Does
anyone know of a suitable substitute part or have a data sheet
on the 2501 that I could use to find an alternate part?  Maybe
someone knows of a different circuit that uses different parts?
His rig is a TS450S/AT.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don't worry abt that, Wayne.  Use any opto, or even just a transistor. 
Isolation really is not necessary--unless u find noise or ground loops, etc,
