<title>OT - Part 90 Radio System - Equipment Suggestions</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26875651</link>
<description><![CDATA[I live in an area on the Oregon Coast that has many canyons and other such features.

The (tiny) local water district wants to have a voice radio system, probably in the VHF high bands, for their service vehicles (totaling 3).

It will be necessary to have 4 repeater locations to properly cover their service area. All of the radios much act as one, seamlessly.

I do have IP connectivity (30/30) between each of the sites.

Does any one know of IP capable radios that would work in this application? Other suggestions...?

TIA

<title>Proposed Illinois Legislation Would Ban Amateur Radio Mobile</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26848396</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was reading about this on QRZ this morning posted by AC2FO, and figure I would spread the news. 

http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?331677-Proposed-Illinois-Legislation-Would-Ban-Licensed-Amateur-Radio-Ops-From-Mobile-use

For as long as I can remember I never had an issue using a radio in a vehicle. But it seems due to an accident from someone texting, Illinois is trying to ban any thing that causes distracted driving. And if this was to pass you know neighboring states would follow right along and trickle it's way across the country. ]]></description>

<title>FM Highpitched tone, ideas needed</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26838004</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello all, I'm not sure this is the right forum, but its the closest I could find. 

I have a very low powered FM transmitter to transmit music through my house from my PC. When I put the unit into stereo mode I get a high-pitched tone that sounds about 12k Hz. On some frequencies its louder than others, but there on all of them. When I put the unit into Mono mode it goes away and I get dead silence. If I put force mono mode on the receiver the tone also goes away. 

The manufacturer has sent me a new unit, but I get the same result with the new unit. I have tried a standard "wall-wart" adapter, PC power supply (plugged directly into the wall and through an APC UPS), and a 12v switched power supply. I have tried 2 different antennas and there is no change. I have also tried 2 different PCs and just an iPod, but again, no change. 

If the power level is between 5% and 75% I get the tone, when I go above 75% the tone goes away on all frequencies, but that is just too much power to run all the time. Below 5% it doesn't put out any RF power, which is normal according the manufacturer. At 5% with a small indoor antenna (which is what I'm using) the unit does meet Part 15 requirements (and covers all the radios I'm listening on), but at 5% the tone is pretty strong. The more power I give it the less the tone is there. 

I have tried several different manufactures and by far this one sounds the best, if I can just get rid of the tone I would be happy. 

Tone:

Transmitter:

Anyone have any ideas?

<description><![CDATA[I'm W6OHI and have been licensed since 1968.

I was just thinking about what led me to Ham Radio. Like many of us it was CB (Children's Band)

Just curious. My original call was 1W0914. Does that date me? :D

Anyone else?

OH Dr Strange, I was in Norwalk, CT at the time. Born and bred.

<title>Getting my FCC GROL -training options?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,26827729</link>
<description><![CDATA[Id like to get my General Radiotelephone License and Id like some advice.

I do have an assoicaites degree in telecom technology and Ive seen some study manuals online that look like I could just read, study and go right for the test. Some of the material from what Ive seen is stuff Ive covered in class (electronics, sine waves, ohms law, etc)

Any recommendations?

Im located in NYC and I couldnt find any schools or community colleges that offer classroom training in this. Or any test sites..

thanks for advice!]]></description>
