I'd love to see it as well.
That's what bluetooth was for.
<$5 per end cable replacement.
However, the best I've seen is $250 per end.
Design by committee strikes again.

Unfortunately, the most common one was the now discontinued Rand McNally
GPS, but Pharos and Holux both offer models that fall in that price range
on special... Which is no different for waiting for someone like Radio
Shack to close out the Digitraveler. Same for OEM engines.

Don't know if anyone here is responsible for the thread (timing seems kind
of odd given our recent thread) but there's a thread on eham discussing
some of the very problems we've discussed regarding WIDE7-7, posit rates,
and other problems (some would call it stupidity) we've been seeing.
http://www.eham.net/articles/5877
One person pointed out Stan's book, Stan maybe you can clarify the status
of the book? I picked it up a year or so ago at Dayton and have seen it
for sale as part of other ARRL lit. Is it still in print? Are there any
plans for an updated or revised edition?
Of course, I'm not sure what to make of the digipeaters installed on the
tall towers comment. I thought that's where you want your digi's! :)

Yes, and I have one of those in the truck. I just needed a more flexible
head for the cluster so I just have 4 pairs of #12 bundled together that is
about 3 foot long with a block of 4 pairs ganged together. Works great,
lays on the bench where I can easily grab it, and have shorter wires on the
devices where I have them installed and still have them close by when I
have them on the bench.

Those E-clips are very handy for this kind of thing. It will be nice to
have the PCB mount connectors too. Any pointers to pictures or details Wes?

Actually, doing the math, you have a 300 km radius defined from N42 and
W97. Des Moines is just within that range. Trim it down to 250 or even
275 km should help. Unfortunately, Dave has closed his status page so
we can't help you by looking at exactly what filter is being set so we
might emulate it. You might try connecting to one of the Tier 2 server
port 14580 so we can look at what javARPSSrvr thinks is being set for a
filter.

emergency station off a pink barbie jeep! :)

The REAL kicker will be when he convinces his daughter she has to
pedal her bike to make power for the emergency station. Barbie's
workout bike?

200 land miles or nautical miles? APRS data is often mixed and it's too
seldom labeled.

Someone refresh my memory... Is there an APRS frequency on 10 meters
and if so is there any infrastructure there?
Thanks,

Has anyone seen the latest offering from Kantronics? Looks interesting...
Obviously, they're marketing this for commercial users but...the internal
VHF radio will cover the HAM 2m band.
