Help with Hallicrafters HT-40
 

Would anyone have a scan of the HT-40 manual? No luck on google and the copy on
BAMA is useless (damn djvu!)

Thanks in advance & 73

Djvu is free, and the manuals I've looked at with djvu have been good.
What's the problem?

Try to download the HT-40 manual from BAMA and you can see yourself what is the
problem! Simply useless.

Many of the Dejavu manuals are of such low resolution
that its impossible to read values or even see the
schematics clearly. FWIW, there are encoders to make PDF's
available free and the Adobe Acrobat reader is free from the
Acrobat site. I use PDF Creator, it appears on your computer
as a printer. Any document that can be printed can be made
into a PDF. While this freeware does not have the
versatility and editing capabilities of the full Adobe
program it works very well and produces high resolution
documents.
I don't want to be criticizing BAMA, I think its an
extraordinarily valuable site, however, some of the manuals
are truly unreadable.

Hello Tony,



Yes, I have one. It's a PDF file about 5.5 mb, can your email accept it? If
not, I can put it up on my web site for you to download. Let me know what I
should do.

I downloaded it with no trouble, and the manual looks good except the
schematic is a POS. Not a djvu problem - it's a bad copy job.

you are lucky man. On my PC the resolution is so bad that I cannot read text
neither on the screen nor on paper. Neverheless I can read fairly well other
djvu manuals. It depends on the selected degreee of compression.

BAMA does a GREAT job by hosting the manuals. Perhaps one could criticize those
uploading the manuals that evidently do not verify quality after scanning.

I have been offered a good copy of the manual. Thank you very much. True ham

Is it posted anywhere I can snag for a new upload to BAMA? It would be nice
to fix problems as they are found.

Hi Don, Tony, and everyone else,

By all means for better copies of any ham radio manuals on BAMA,
please just send the manual directly to me. Since uploading to the
site suffers from the same limits as downloading, the most efficient
way of getting something to me is through a service such as YouSendIt
at http://www.yousendit.com . You are allowed to send files up to
100MB in size free of charge.

Incidentally, through the generosity of Lynn Bisha, W2BSN, a new scan
of the HT-40 transmitter has been placed on BAMA. It is in pdf and
the schematic is quite readable.

Finally, DjVu has never lived up to its promise. For those who live
in the Unix/Linux world, DjVu Libre makes things work inexpensively
and really quite well. However, the capitalization efforts since the
Windows rights were sold to Lizardtech have stifled the baby in the
crib. The software needed to do a "good" job of creating a djvu file
without the artifacts that you see typically in djvu files on BAMA is
not readily available. DjVu Solo 3.1 is responsible for the files
with these artifacts and is not a good solution. However, for those
djvu files that do exist, rather than using the Lizardtech plug in, I
would strongly recommend that you use the free DjVu reader called
WinDjView which can be downloaded from
http://windjview.sourceforge.net/

I do regret the listings on BAMA which contain certain unreadable
pages, particularly if they are of the schematic diagram. However,
when such a file is uploaded, I ask for a clearer scan. If it is not
available, I usually post the file anyway on the theory that some
information is better than no information. Perhaps that theory is
flawed and I should just discard such files.

73,

Ken K4XL
