All the garbage about how you should even be allowed to operate a CB,

you are able to build your own equipment. Real Hams will never be able to
build a rig that even comes close to what's available off the shelf these
days. Most people can't even be bothered, have no interest or don't have
the
time to build rigs anymore. Boatanchors should be used for exactly that,
anchoring boats!

Time to stop whinging, and face the facts...Real Technology has overtaken
you all!

Spoken like a brain-dead 'alleged' Ham, who thinks radio revolves around a
soldering iron...it doesn't anymore. Things are changing, look what has
happened to the Morse assessment! Even the RSGB have had the good sense to
move into the twenty first century!

Even with a wheel mouse, you don't need to read the garbage.

However, a wheel mouse would seem to be the answer for those
who make the silly fuss - the arrogant bottom-posters - would it not?

Buy a wheel mouse.

The vast majority of Real Hams, stick to the protocol of bottom posting.
There are those, of course, who are incapable...such as yourself!

If you require some assistance on how to post correctly, do let me know.

Thanks for the tip, Carl. Geeze, Analog Devices. I should have
remembered.
It has been quite a few years since I worked in Materials Engineering and
actually had a feel for the current state of the art. Heck, I was only
off
by a factor of 10 on that clock rate! 10 percent is one thing, but by a
decade! :) LOL. Be grateful I didn't suggest wiring a bunch of 12AU7s
together in flip flops. Hmmm ... where'd I put that core memory anyways?
BTW, those 400 MHz devices are 10 cents per dozen, right? :)

IIRC, they are not $1.95, but they are not hundreds of dollars, either ...
seems to me that the range is generally from about 5 - 50 bucks, depending
on device, quantity, etc.

I will check out the site, however; again, thanks for the tip.

ur wlcm es 73,

Why don't you go back to yelling
"aaaaaaaauuuuuuuudddddddddiiiiiiiooooooo" into your power mic on
channel 19.

oh ?

i thought it was about the person behind the mic (key / camera )
and that persons permission to self-train in the art of
communications.


never did i think that AMATEUR RADIO was about technology.

Sort of knocks the 'build your own' case for Gareth into a cocked hat - not
easy to work or even work out who or where he was.

thats the classic eastern european sound of homemade gear.

that and the tone that starts high and goes low as the dah dah dah
is sent.

dont worry, you get used to it.

All of the AD synthesizers I have seen have a microprocessor interface,
where they basically memory-map into a processor. I'd rather have something
I can directly address.

I could probably pull out a 68HC11 to control the thing if I absolutely had
to, but I'd rather have something I can just latch a BCD input into.
