Or ProVoice. Or OpenSky...

So?

For me:

SureFire L2 Digital LumaMax... 10 or 100 lumens from a 5-watt Luxeon Star LED. Perfect to carry on the belt. Yum - but not cheap.

Streamlight SL20X. The quintessiential flashlight... also handy for use as a hammer, tool, chock, or impact weapon.

Streamlight Fire Vulcan for lots'o'light on ...

no DNS server. but i should be able to see the linux machine in my network places and be able to pull files over shouldnt i?

You could get to it by IP... otherwise, with no DNS server, how's it going to know to make things appear in Network Neighborhood? That's done by running a WINS client ...

Okay, so how do i get my linux box on my network. I have internet going to it no problem.. but how do i setup the domain name so that i can see it on my windows network???

Are you running a DNS server? If you mean you're trying to be able to get to the machine with a "\\<computername>" syntax ...

How do you go about setting up a conf like VAN-IRLP?

We have a state wide VHF traffic net and i am interested in helping these old farts broaden their horizones a little..

HAHA. Good luck... I put a new RACES repeater in and ye Olde Phuckes were happy that I used the same PL... so they wouldn't ...

And yes, I'll be at Belton. Anyone wanna coordinate common IMBE channels? How about 146.52 and 446.0? Bonus points for OFB? :baby:
I don't have a goddamn keyloader yet. :OSS:

But yeah, I'll be IMBE on BW1 in the car and analog portable. No UHF though, I usually park that on 462.575 to talk to ...

Hmmm.....

Go to the :ham: fest , or spend time with the Wife on our anniversary :pussy: ...

Wouldn't want to miss the once-annual opportunity for :pussy: .

I guess I need to get off my ass and bring you a box too, don't I? You got any more of those compact units? I'm going to need all ...

AEGIS is digital voice, the forerunner to ProVoice. Like Provoice and P25, AEGIS can be encrypted but isn't automatically encrypted.

The voice quality is shit, however. Save up for an XTS!

Very cool. Any ideas on price yet?

Also, Kenwood released their TK-5170 VHF P25 mobile this week, with UHF to follow shortly. Damn reasonable prices (under $2K for advanced remote head, with programming software).

Okay, one I can understand, but three? vomit

He uses the cans because he needs to fit in a parking garage. The other antennas are FME mounts for 1.2GHz.


GE Sexy!

Huh?

Was that you who was looking for a trade on your VHF Astro with VSELP? If so, sorry I wasn't interested.

<shudder>VSELP...

This may be a good thing for Hamcom. That center has been limiting their growth for quite awhile. Should be interesting.

I could see that. It was tough finding a parking place.

And the floor's small (especially with *so many* forums ...

Don't believe everything you hear. Hamcom will not be held at ACC next year - that part's correct. Your "why" is wrong.

The City of Arlington has preference (read: can bump events) on scheduling for the ACC. They came up with something that they wanted the convention center for, so Hamcom got ...

I kept my eyes open... no contact.

Hey, where were you? I had a cooler full of Dr. Peppers.

Damnit! I was wondering around - only made it out on Saturday. Got there around 10a, cruised around, harassed VX and others, ran the Dillo/Dillo associates tables for a bit, etc.

I may have been a tad invisible as I was one of the few who ...

Now that is a VHF contest rig-

Yep, I know the guy. Pretty cool - he's got a custom-built transverter control in there and can operate on any ham band from 0-10GHz, excepting 5GHz. Also ...

VX, were you the gentleman that had the stand of Spectras (vhf, uhf, and the two 800s)? The two MT(S?) portables went quick.

That was him. As always, he relieved me of some of my cash (indirectly, but whatever...)

I too was surprised at the number of youth and actually the number of YLs I saw ...

Got any clue what us normal people could buy a DPH for? $1100 is pretty cheap!

APCO25 is a standard - no royalties. *BUT*, APCO25 specifies the IMBE (improved multiband excitation) audio codec, which is owned by DVSI (Digital Voice Systems Inc.) You do have to pay royalties to them.

Of course ...

I'll be there. Probably be rolling incognito in the new truck... nothing but a few XTSs "installed" in the cupholders. :OSS:

Yep, I'll most likely be there...

I'll second that. Come on guys, back on topic or onto other things. I'd like to keep this a lock-free forum. hammertime

We had a couple at our hamfest, provided by Icom. They worked pretty well, but I didn't have time to do extensive playing with them, unfortunately. Too busy keeping the hamsexy-types busy!

While I realize it is not possible to upgrade any of the radio features, what about secure boards? Will these radios support different/more advanced (AES) encryption boards?

The trouble is, unless you're batdude (grumble... bar code reader), you can't keyload an AES crypto board easily. KVL3000 ...
