Hi all! I need recommendations! First, I am a good CW op, and I know how to use ARRL Field Day Contest Log on my computer. Last year in 12 hours I made 144 contacts which isn't real speedy, but I wish to (1) do better in 24 hours or so, or as long as my future club will be awake, and (2) take advantage of whatever the best of you blind ops can offer me for recommendations as to what I can do to do better. :) I use a keyer, MFJ 264 I believe is the model number
What is a correct log for the necessary information exchange on field day? I'll be writing my own as I operate that day for our club. and, what is the necessary exchange?
I've have always wanted to do it and now I shall. I wish to have my call at arrl . net. :) I did, on their web site, successfully submit the proof of blindness, and it was submitted, so now, how to pay the money? will I receive an email as to where to go to do that here on line? THANKS

Hi all! On my swap net I've a rig blaster plus for sale. Does that work for us blind-users in any way I could take advantage of? Is it a board which plugs into the computer . . . anyone know or have used one. It's not too expensive.
I have a question, I got a UV-5RX, that's the triband one. I know the 2 antennas, one is for 220 the other is dual band but which is which? Eventually I'll get a single antenna to do all 3 bands but I haven't even programmed this yet, tried it, nothing and there isn't a ton of 220 activity near me so it's not a priority now, it will be more when it's the season for hiking and what not when I carry it a bit.
Attached is my 220 MHZ frequencies that will get you started. I bet the 220 antenna is the skinny one and the 2 meter / 440 is the fatter one. Try the k9EL 220 repeater should work by you. Pierre Berube K9EYE Lifetime member of Handiham

So, at last, now here is another ts2000 owner. Got a used radio, with the vs3 installed. But, I have a few questions. First, is there a way to make a factory reset of the radio? There are memory channels and other settings that they have programmed it with. How do I get rid of those? Also, a friend seem to have automatic repeater offset, but maybe it’s because of a newer version of the radio? Many thanks for any help and 73! Christian SM0UWV

No new research was issued Thursday. Instead, the National Toxicology Program dialed up its concerns about a link to heart and brain cancer from a study of male rats that was made public last winter. The Food and Drug Administration, which oversees cellphone safety, disagreed with the upgraded warning. And "these findings should not be applied to

Joe my name is Fred and actually the list has moved to groups that I/O nonetheless, to answer your question I believe the THD 74A is the most accessible HT out there at the present time it is made by Kenwood and also I believe offers you the opportunity to use D*as a mode of transmission. You can find them somewhat less expensive at main trading company or MTC radio.com good luck Fred and nine BSO
At this time the king of accessible HTs is the Kenwood TH-D74A. It covers 144/222/440MHZ in FM and DStar. The radio in addition has a general coverage receiver which includes AM, FM narrow and wide, SSB and CW.
The rig is accessible as it comes with speech capability built in. The menus and settings are spoken and even the callsign readout using DStar is spoken.
Please do not laugh, but the Kenwood thf6 was very accessible for me with all the beeps and boops and the indents on the controls. But, Kenwood discontinued that rig it was a real nice tri bander with general coverage. Pierre K9EYE Lifetime Member of Handiham

That depends a lot on what you consider accessible. I consider the GD77S accessible because I can use its programming software and know what channel I'm using when actually using the radio.Now,yes,I do have to remember how each channel is programmed, so some of it does fall on my shoulders to do, but for me, that's still accessible. If by accessibility you mean the radio speaks everything it does, and programming is possible from the front panel, I don't think such a device exists yet. I can't remember whether it was Yaesu or Kenwood,but about a year and a half
Such an HT exists now. It's the Kenwood THD-74A. It has speech output. It covers 144, 222 and 440MHZ FM and DStar plus general coverage receiver with AM, FM, SSB, CW and broadcast FM.

Computer Mic's are a little different than your standard Microphone. They have 3 connections rather than just 2 but they are not a balanced line either. So, what are they?
They are actually an amplified condenser microphone. If you have ever accidentally plugged a headset in to the microphone jack, you will hear a click and nothing else and here is what is going on.
Nice description. I believe that voltage is 3 or 5 V on the computer mic jack. If you want to get even more crazy, the 3.5MM plugs for cell phones is a 4 conducter plug with 2 rings and a sleeve. These are for the phone headsets that carry mic audio and audio from the phone.
Thanks for the update on condenser mic technology. Also, thanks for your discription of the 3.5 MM cell phone connector. That, by the way, is what Raspberry Pi's use for their audio and analog video output jack. That jack will usually work fine if you plug in a stereo headphone pair but if there is the slightest bit of slop, you'll hear video buzzing away in one of the channels.

John has been my Elmer from the beginning. I have been licensed since 2002, and an extra class since 2006. John is sighted and helps me on various items. What is your direct email address? Just in case that your qrz page did not have it correct. Pierre K9EYE Lifetime Member of Handiham

Greetings, what are the common cat settings for digital operation with the ts2000? should the baud rate be slower or faster between the computer and radio? Can someone also point me in the right direction for the scripts being tested for ft8? thanks, dan kb6unc
You might want to unsubscribe from this list, or get it out of your address book, so you only post to the "new" list.
This post is to the old list that has almost zero traffic.
To answer your Question:
I've never done FT8, but have done RTTY on a TS-2000 and TS-480, and RTTY and PSK on a TS590.  Baud rate isn't an issue, as long as Baud rate is the same for both radio and pc.

You can't configure the list that intelligently. People could learn how to find the sender's address, but that's likely too much to ask or expect on any mailing list.
Of course, the list could be configured where replies are sent to the sender, but then everybody would miss out on a lot of useful info.
Lol, Steve, I did not notice that he had sent it to the old list, but I still monitor that one too.

To get the personal e-mail address in Outlook Express, do the following:
1. Open the message they sent 2. Go to the tools menu 3. Arrow to Add to address book submenu 4. Select sender 5. A dialogue box will come up with their name and e-mail information in it. 6. This box is a summary of information about the person. You can copy their address from this page or you can press control-tab and answer the questions to create an entry for that person in your address book for future use.
There might be, I'll take a lok some time this weekend.
In the meantime, if you have an open message and you want to find the sender's address, just do a control-f3 command in Outlook Express to bring up the header info (alternatively, with the message highlighted but not opened, hit alt-enter for properties, and tab from the General to the Details tab. You'll see the same info.
I think your first message is moderated, so you might want to send a intro message to get that behind you.

Dan, I can not read your email as it is a jumbled up mess of numbers etc. I can read the subject line though and it seems that you are looking for info on the Gap Eagle antenna. I have used a couple of the gap eagle antennas and they work fairly well on some bands and they do not require radials. The gap eagle uses three counter poise rods pretty much like the old cushcraft R5 and R7 antennas.. I have one now but it is down and in my storage building. Maybe this will help you a little.

You won't see that when 75% of the dmr radios on the ham bands are gd77, md380, and other under $200 radios if not more. Kenwood won't make something that can compete price wise so won't be doing that. I don't understand why people pay what they do for dstar as it is.
Kenwood produce an extremely accessible HT for a mode which they have never previously been involved with. Ever since then, there seems to be this expectation that they should add DMR. Surely that extra functionality would make the radio significantly more expensive and difficult to program. And, as has been said already, cheap DMR radios are widely available.

BlankI haven't been able to find much in the way of specs except that it has several roofing filters in it. It has a 7-inch color TFT display. No idea of accessibility, or pricing yet, but I'd expect that it would be decent, except for the band-scope functions.
It isn't part 15 accepted so it could be awhile before it becomes available.

I don't have to go into a menu to change microphone gain, carrier, transmit monitor and so forth. I also like having two receivers.

But, what I don't like to see is non-descript subje ct lines. I've recently seen several messages with a subject line of "off-topic" —— so please, be more descriptive.

Welcome back! I have heard you working some cW from time to time, but glad you feel like participating again. Most of the activity has moved to a different listserv, [log in to unmask] This was caused by the inability to solve problems created by some e-mail programs and their "smart" punctuations being converted from 8-bit to 7-bit. The list moderator is KB5ELV, Buddy Brannon. One way to get onto the Porkcast list is to point your web browser to http://lists.porkcast.net/listinfo.cgi/blind-hams-porkcast.net . Sometimes the traffic on the new list gets out of hand, but mostly it is manageable. 73,
Although this listserv is still running on autopilot, most of the members went to one listserv, then to a second one when the first didn't do well with messages bounced by certain service providers. The current blind-hams activity is at [log in to unmask] . To subscribe, you can send a message to [log in to unmask] . I think that the moderator, K8SP, has to see the first message you send and approve it before your traffic starts appearing on the list. Then the floodgates will open. 73,

Remember the big deal people were talking about putting up huge solar pannels in space, converting the electricity to microwaves, beaming it down to collector antennas on the ground and putting the power in to the grid? Probably impractical now with the price of solar pannels having dropped a lot. I haven't heard talk of that for a long time. Jim WA6EKS

Kenwood TH-D74E. Left side, bottom to top. Power on/off, hold for a few seconds to turn on. Whilst on, a quick press of the power button will read band, mode, frequency and power, and activate the backlight. Middle button, moni. Top button, ptt. 2 dials on top right, inner and outer. Inside one is ENC control, changes channels, frequencies and menues. Outer is volume. Below the screen. Top left, mode. Directly below is menu. Centre, arrow keys plus enter. Right top is A/B. Directly below is F, or function button.
BTW, when I get my radio, I intend to update the accessible guide as I believe there are some key points missing from the accessible guides available, the least of which is that apparently, once you hit the menu key, you should be able to type the direct menu number to go straight to a menu option from the keypad, rather than having to use the arrows and enter.

Hi all, that demo is an excellent resource and I also used it to get familiar with the radio. Do you know if he ever did a second demo about the D-Star capabilities? One thing I have discovered is that most people I know of, got a micro SD card in there radio, preprogrammed with many D-Star repeaters, but I did not seem to get one in mine. I still need to hunt down the box, and see if it is hiding in there, as it doesn't seem to be in the radio.

Here is from buddy's file. You can program memories either with a standard split or with odd splits. Remember that once a memory is programmed, it cannot be changed, short of deleting it and starting over. Memories store receive and transmit frequencies, along with receive and transmit CTCSS or DCS codes, power level, and channel width (wide or narrow). Power level can be temporarily set to its other value, i.e. the one not stored in memory, by pressing the "Lock" key (the # key on the keypad) while in memory mode. The power level will revert to its stored value
Hi Bob, press menu, followed by 2, and menu again. The radio will say Power, press 0 for high power, and 1 for Low. In channel mode, simply use the number key, to toggal between high and low. HTH, and 73: John

Doing laundry might be dead simple for most people, but the visually impaired don't have it so easy. To make that easier, GE Appliance's skunkworks division FirstBuild -- along with the help of a 14 year-old -- has designed a system called Talking Laundry. With a name like that, the invention is pretty self-explanatory: it's a metal box (below) that audibly tells you how much time is left in a given wash cycle, and simplifies controls
BlankOk, got a chance to play around with this amazing FREE app from Microsoft. To say I'm "blown away," would be an understatement.
The app has five "channels": Short Text, Document recognition, Product Recognition, Picture, and Scene Recognition.
The short text is useful. You can aim it at an envelope that came in the mail, say, and it will tell you what it recognizes immediately. Same with currency. It is almost instantaneous.

Hello,
Is this rig still accessible like the older versions?
I found an eyes-free guide for a much older iteration of this radio. Does it still mostly apply to this newer model?
Hey buddy how's it going? I was wondering if you could tell me step-by-step how to program the PF function keys on the Kenworth THD748? I want to set one to tell me the battery level and the other one to switch from single to dual band? Or possibly even set one of them for narrowband on or off.
I have o look it up, because you have to find the PF key menu entry, then arrow to the correct menu entry option, which are only announced numerically.
Yes, the Wouxun radios are still accessible to blind users.
The software from the manufacturer isn't accessible with JFW or NVDA. The good news is the RT Systems software is 100% accessible using the NVDA screenreader. It is not usable with JFW at all.
You can find the RT Systems stuff at the following link.
I'm sorry, I know the RT system software is been mentioned a lot on this list, but I don't remember. What radios is it used for and is it strictly a programming software or just do you other things as well?

Check it all out at http://biddingforgood.com/seeingeye before 10:00 <http://biddingforgood.com/seeingeye%20before%2010:00> tonight.
Greetings, I am inquiring how well Jaws maneuvers website windows within windows in addition to popups and Is there a way to change how Jaws tracks? For example, when there are columns or split screens, ,Jaws seems to track The left column from top to bottom and then jump to the top on the right side And track from top to bottom. Is there a Jaws user group?

Is there a forum for Jaws or a group similar to this one for questions as well?

I am using version 17.0. Is there a Jaws users group for these type of questions? Many thanks, Dan Reid (kb6unc)
