It looks as if you have a ham call but I assume it is a fake email
address as I don't expect this sort of language from a licenced ham -
at least in VK, where this sort of language is confined to CB, but
maybe the US is different.

My problem with the whole mess was this: I had no idea this was an all text,
no binary format news group. No where was this written or explained. Another
fact is: there are other pics listed in this group, but no nasty messages
posted to them.

As it appeared to me at the time, I had invaded a good old boys plot of turf
and was being told I was not welcome. I have been a user of the Usenet
system for years and have never been treated as I have been on this net.
Does not say much for the users of this group. I left chicken band in the
early 90's to escape the rude ill mannered people that were there and became
a ham due to what I heard on the bands. People talked with each other and
did not use foul language and call names and were polite. That is why I came
to the group to try and get some information on a piece of equipment. The
first response was a "YOU DID A NO-NO". What was written you may call
polite, but I beg to differ. The Usenet is just that, a Usenet. It is for
all of us to use and not for a select few to control.

On another note, I did open it up and it uses Motorola chips which I can not
cross. The dates on the chips are 1970 and it appears to operate off 15
volts using two 7 1/2 volt batteries. I did get it to operating and it seems
to work well on my Drake TR-4 and my SB-401. Got good reports and much
better PEP with little clipping.

Thanks for the help and I am sorry for blowing off some steam, but I am the
type of person, that when jumped at with no explanation, will jump back. If
I do something wrong, tell me what I did wrong and ask me not to do it
again. Go the other way and I can get very hard headed. I don't take kindly
to being TOLD what I will do.

the use of tubes were the only determining factor as to if it was a

Try putting a chute on the next time you jump and you will not land

hard.

Trent - your response to the first post, which was written in a polite
and helpful tone, nor your responses to subsequent posts, does not
motivate one to go out of the way to help you.

Nevertheless, as it appears that it's probably a homebrew unit, I
recommend you open the cover and see what chip(s) it uses, then do some
research to reverse-engineer it. I have several pieces of homebrew
equipment that you'd swear were factory made - but in the case of a
synthesized VFO, the fact that it was the subject of a QST article back
in the 1960s was the only thing that gave it away as a homebrew unit of
extraordinary quality.

Signetics made some compressor/compandor chips back in the 1970s and
1980s - IIRC the NE571 is one such IC.

Good luck and 73, John W3JN
