gone few changes since November ARRL Letter staff members cannot change your e­
although several things have been added
since then.
The program attempts to make sense
out of "failed" patches that were not
closed down properly that have been
added to by someone dialing properly.
This results in "junk" digits with "good"
digits jammed together. The computer
recognizes what is junk and what is
good It dumps the junk and keeps the
good and you never know the difference!
And, of course, BOXes have been
added for shorter dialing sequences cutting
down on the digits being dial by
50%.
Future program modifications will
probably involve an easier system of
adding new members to the computer
memory without closing down the program
as now needs to be done.

The AH-100 is a 11m SSB/AM
handie talkie made by Cherokee. Apparently
it will cover from 25.165 through
29.655 in 10 bands of 40 channels after
a simple modification.
Open the case and bridge three solder
pads. Too bad it is channelized.
I wonder ifanyone is looking for such
a toy. The rig may have been discontinued
recently but many Internet stores still
advertise the radio. Other than the very
expensive and hard to obtain Tokyo Hy­
Power HT-750 I do not know ofany SSB
Handie Talkies currently in production.
(oh., except for the Mizuho VXO controlled
units that are still sold in the
Japanese market.)
Below are links regarding the radio
and it's modifications. Perhaps you could
just place the links in the Scope.
If you are interested try the following
three links. They describe the Cherokee
AH-100 11m SSB/AM handie, which
can be easily modified for 10m use.
