Your assertion that transmitting GPS coordinates is not a GPS-based system is obviously ridiculous and hopefully just a bad joke. Better luck next time. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

I tilted my monitor and I see that this movement is a little out of balance on the sides. End-to-end balance is ok. Carefully turn the balance weight on the right side in a little, then it'll sit on zero regardless of the orientation... Press the degauss button. The needle will let go. "R.

No GPS, the notification still occurs. No radio, the notice doesn't occur. What was the notification based on, again? Any notification that reports GPS coordinates is GPS-based, by definition. When you add GPS capability to a radio transmitter, it doesn't cease to be radio-based but it also becomes GPS-based. It's not an either/or mutual exclusive situation. Just as one can have a vehicle that is both white and a Chevrolet, one can have an emergency system that is both GPS-based and radio-based. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

. .. wrote in s.com: If you asked the same question to someone who had only passed 5 wpm and then, like me, never used it, then I suspect the victim wouldn't make it. But then in most countries there is NO morse code testing any more, so there are plenty of hams now who've never learnt atall. For decades there have been no code VHF hams in most countries anyway. To "some" extent, I "may" have to disagree. I held a class once for "No Code Tech" and one of the guys - a man in his 70s asked if he could go for the code test even though I wasn't teaching code. He said he had learned it years ago in the service - but may be rusty. Let me tell you - when he was done testing, he had PERFECT copy. Was he practicing all along? We'll never know - nor did I ask. He has since passed on. Some people DO have a good memory and retain quite well. Others - lose things almost immediately if not used. Some of us, it takes a while to lose it and we usually do. Lou |
