Hi all,
I also have leaned that the internet is terrific for finding a wealth of
info from just a simple word like arlb023, and when I used google, I
received pages of references, :-) Take your pick.... They almost all
ref'd arrl...

You're right.
But who posted that before this?
Are people expected to have to search web pages for matching text?
Actually, I did. But I searched for ARLB and the number and didn't find
it. I did the search on the www2 page first.
If someone was going to post a web page for it, why do the www2 thing?
Really, why not post
http://www2.arrl.org/news/stories/2003/03/06/3/?nc=1
Or even go right to the article with
http://www2.arrl.org/w1aw/2003-arlb023.html
Like I said, it's amazing that people here can't communicate sometimes.
Were these people all message handlers?
Mike

www2.arrl.org is the low graphics page for folks like me that use dial up.
www.arrl.org is for folks with the fast stuff, I think I've heard Rush
call'um T1, or somethin' like that.

While you are out doors this weekend and next playing radio, don't forget
that you can simply QSY your APRS mobile or handheld (or any packet
station) to 145.825 during midday and digipeat via PCSAT. You'll get
three passes daily between about 10 AM to about 2:30 PM local time
northern hemisphere. (See southern times below).
Since PCsat is still holding all its config and doing well, you can
digipeat through it using any of the normal PCSAT aliases:
RELAY
WIDE <== note the compatibiliity with terrestrial settings!
ARISS
W3ADO-1
And all packets should come back down with the PCSAT-1 callsign
substituted. If PCSAT does a reset, then the only digipeater callsign
that will work is W3ADO-1...
Remember, NO CONNECTS and NO BBS or you will kill it...

Ok, this isn't strictly on-topic, but it's for an APRS project, at least in
part. I'm looking for a chip or module that can generate text and simple
graphics in NTSC video. Right now, I'm using the Decade Engineering BOB-II
for a project that displays a text overlay for ATV (callsign, name, and
'Aliens'-style Mission Time counter for paintball games) and it works just
fine for text, but it can't do graphics. The OSD chips I've found have been
massive overkill - huge QFPs with ATSC decoding and all sorts of other TV
features. What I want is something more like a modern version of the old
Commodore VIC-II chip. Does anyone know if such a beast exists?
Thanks...
Scott, N1VG

I have some chips that do text overlay and simple graphics. SGS Thompson. I
don't have the PN right in front of me now, but they are easy to drive from
a micro, and handle all the messies. One bad thing, 28 pin SOIC. No other
package choices.

I can live with SOIC. Please let me know if you find the part number - I've
looked over ST's site and I can't find any OSD chips that do graphics. The
BOB-II I'm using is basically an Atmel MCU in front of an ST text-only OSD
chip and its associated hardware on a 30-pin SIMM. Works great, but the
character set is stored in ROM so you can't even get graphics out of it that
way.

Thought I would let you know what I did to make things work. My Garmin II+
apparently doesn't put out strong enough signals on the RS-232 line to be
recognized by the KPC 9612 TNC when the GPS is running on battery power (as
it was while I'm setting it up on the bench at home). As soon as I plugged
in an external power source (13V) to the Garmin, the TNC started sending out
data just fine.
Thanks to Ken at Kantronics for the help - he gave me the idea to start
checking in there some...
73 - Matt
