UI-View is an APRS client that runs on Windows. This application differs from most APRS software in that it isn't designed just to be used with TNCs in terminal mode. UI-View also supports TNCs in KISS mode, AGWPE host mode and BPQ host mode. The 32 bit version of UI-View also supports WA8DED/TF host mode, and the variant of it used in the SCS PTC-II and PTC-IIe.

A group of ham operators in Orange County, California that has supported over 30 hospitals since 1980. Includes information on how hams can provide hospital support in their own areas.

For low voltage applications, like cathode bypass capacitors, most vintage types have an axial configuration, which is less common today but still available. Electrolytic power supply caps likely constitute the single worst liability in old audio, radio and test equipment.

Robust PACKET, developed by Spezielle Communications Systeme GmbH & Co. KG (SCS), is an OFDM variant of the amateur PACKET mode specifically engineered for HF operation. This mode utilizes a 500 Hz bandwidth with 60 Hz carrier spacing, employing OFDM with 8 DBPSK or DQPSK carriers. It supports 200 bps using BPSK and 600 bps with DQPSK, with each subcarrier operating at a constant rate of 50 Bd. Robust PACKET leverages the AX-25 frame protocol for data transmission, similar to standard PACKET. Compared to traditional PACKET, Robust PACKET demonstrates enhanced resilience against multipath propagation and fading effects, critical for reliable HF communications. It also exhibits a more efficient spectral footprint, with sidebands extending only to 500 Hz, whereas 300 Bd FSK PACKET can produce sidebands up to 730 Hz. Operational frequencies for Robust PACKET include 3.61 MHz, 7.0473 MHz, 10.1473 MHz, and 14.1033 MHz, with specific regional frequencies also documented. Decoding software options for Robust PACKET include Wavecom W-Code and Wavecom W-Spectra. The mode is primarily supported by SCS's 'Tracker / DSP TNC' hardware.

his historical account traces the development of car radios from Marconi's mobile wireless telegraph station on a steam engine vehicle in 1901 to Motorola's iconic car radio models in the 1930s. It highlights key milestones such as Alfred Grebe's radio-telephone experiments on Long Island and the introduction of Marconi-Phone 8 radios by the Daimler Company in England. The narrative explores technological advancements, including the transition from TRF to Super-Heterodyne circuitry and the integration of push-button controls. The evolution from vacuum tubes to transistors and compact discs is also documented, showcasing the continuous innovation in automotive entertainment systems.
