FCC WARNING BEFORE STARTING Amateur radio regulations vary from country to country. Confirm your local amateur radio regulations and requirements before operating the transceiver. Depending on the size and type of vehicle, the maximum transmission output power for the mobile operation will vary. The maximum transmission output power is usually specified by the car manufacturer to avoid interference with other electric devices used in the vehicle. [. . . ] Thousands of PBBSs, which have formed a worldwide network, relay e-mail to their intended destinations around the world. PBBS When you access a local PBBS for the first time, you often need to register as a new user. After you are successfully registered, it will then be available as your home PBBS. E-mail addressed to you will be held under a directory, called a mailbox, on your home PBBS. For further information, consult reference books which should be available at any store that handles Amateur Radio equipment. Web pages relating to Packet will also be helpful. On Internet search engines, use "Packet Radio" as key words to find those Web pages. Note: Unlike a TNC, a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) serves as a communications interface in several digital modes such as Packet, RTTY, and AMTOR. You can cause it to switch among the modes by sending a single command from your computer. If there is an amateur radio club in your area, consider becoming a member. You can often learn more in an hour from experienced hobbyists, than in a month of independent research. Ask on the local repeaters or contact your national amateur radio organization (the ARRL in the U. S. A. ) for information on local amateur radio clubs. You'll be glad you did. 43 9 SPECIALIZED COMMUNICATIONS SLOW SCAN TV/ FACSIMILE Slow-scan Television (SSTV) is a popular application for transmitting still images over the air, from one station to another. Instead of trying to describe your station, simply showing it is much faster. Transmitting images over the air requires a scan converter, besides a transceiver. A scan converter transforms images taken with a video camera into audio signals that can be fed into your transceiver. The recipient's scan converter transforms audio signals back into video images so that he or she can view them on a TV set. Nowadays instead of a scan converter, many hams use a personal computer, a software application, and an interface attached to the transceiver. This is much cheaper, more flexible, and does not require a TV set. In recent years, many low cost digital cameras have become available. You can transfer images from these cameras into your computer. For further information, consult reference books about Amateur Radio. The frequencies (measured in kHz) commonly used for SSTV operation are listed below: U. S. A. / Canada 3845, 3857 7171 14230, 14233 21340 28680 145500 ARU Region 1 (Europe/ Africa) 3730 ~ 3740 7035 ~ 7045 14225 ~ 14235 21335 ~ 21345 28675 ~ 28685 -- Fax (facsimile) is one of the original image transmission modes. Using this mode allows you to exchange more detailed graphics than SSTV.
