Bob Dylan song lyrics
Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly changin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be ! The times is a changing -- Bob Dylan -- CL -- A 20 wpm Extra since 1979 "Fred W4JLE" wrote in message ... Remember the golden rule!

Ham op:
I am in my 50's, age is becoming a bit of a problem here, I can extrapolate and get some kind of a picture of it being a bit more of a problem for you then--if you are older. Your posts certainly don't reflect such limitations, although we may be "out of sync" on some points, you pose good conversation. Remember, when all is said and done, we must shake hands and have a drink together... John "Ham op" wrote in message ...

SNIPPED Well at my age, I only work on stuff I can see. That is limited by aging shakes in my hands. But I can still find a screw driver somewhere, if I can find my glasses. This morning I couldn't get out of bed when I woke up. I couldn't find the floor without my glasses. :-) It's a shame yo get old! |

Caveat:
Repeaters have always been as much fun for me as a phone line, and I end up using a phone mainly for business. (the internet is great though--IRC chat, IM, messengers, newsgroups, etc) Standalone HF equip is just a whole 'nother world. Frankly, I am glad I have found agreement in "newbie hams." No one likes to be such a total freak there are none in agreement! John "Caveat Lector" wrote in message news:r%rGe.22442$HV1.8489@fed1read07... Nope the FCC makes the rules You can beat up on the new non-technical hams OR help them The choice is yours. In our area, we run a weekly 2M Ham Help net Our repeater is open to any technical question, no matter how basic. Periodic classes are conducted for Tech and General -- success rate is quite high. And many of our no-code Techs are very active in emergency communications, PR communicators, field day, and many other useful avenues of ham radio. Quite a number have advanced to General and Extra.

Cecil:
I'd just about bet, your first job/corp/supervisor felt just about the same about you (me too for that matter), some of those old guys were great though--they even managed to hide their disgust of our ignorance from us--but they had better training back then!!! innocent-look John "Cecil Moore" wrote in message ...

Caveat:
Only decent tubes (radio valves) which are still made are russian--aren't they? John "Caveat Lector" wrote in message news:IsrGe.22435$HV1.3739@fed1read07... Thank you - curiosity satisfied. Just curious as how often these are used today I do know about colpitts, hartley, pierce, wien, clapp, TGTP, relaxation, crystal, negative resistance, dynatron, etc Anyone remember the dynatron oscillator? Tetrodes me lads tetrodes. -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I ask "Ham op" wrote in message ... Caveat Lector wrote: Just out of curousity -- what modern Ham gear uses a Colpitts oscillator or a swinging choke ?? Then why ask these questions on a 2005 Ham test ?? Maybe ask about a VCO or a crowbar circuit ?? All of them!!! The reference oscillator in every phase locked loop is generally a Colpitt's oscillator. I suspect that every oscillator in the VCO circuit is also Colpitt's. By simply asking the question you make the point!!! The required level of knowledge for a license today is significantly poorer than 40 or 50 years ago. |

Nice reply that I have no problem with, however the conversation was about
current graduates of our institutions of higher learning. Nothing about code/nocode or hams. "Caveat Lector" wrote in message news:r%rGe.22442$HV1.8489@fed1read07...

Wes:
By "master clock" (or bus clock), I take it the digital osc on my motherboard running at 266Mhz and exists as chip with an in-house part number only, can't really check. I suspect it to be a UHF-high precision op amp with crystal controlled feedback used as an osc, or a set of digital logic gates with osc established though xtal feedback--either way, a square wave out.

Bring a junk am broadcast radio near your computer, you will hear literal dozens (well, a bunch anyway!) of osc's freqs going on there, probably not one being generated by a colpitts, hartley or pierce osc circuit... And, with the proper processing, all those waves could be a sine... In all likelyhood, the master clock oscillator for the microprocessor is a Pierce xtal oscillator. All of the other garbage is derived from that. There may also be plug-in cards with their own clock, most likely another Pierce. In case you've forgotten, these are -digital- circuits, sine waves need not apply. Why you guys think that the computer guys have invented some new -magic- oscillator is beyond me. Wait a minute..... maybe I understand after all. |
