I may have an Amiga 1200 but its pretty beat up.  I believe it booted the last time I threw it on, but the casing and keyboard is kinda to heck...

What do you have in mind as far as amateur radio equipment if I were to trade off the 1200?

I have lots of Ham radio and comuter junk laying around.
Most of it is not worth anything but you never know.
One man's junk is another's treasure.
I have a number of A500 mother boards I wouldn't mind
getting rid of. I have a couple of A2000 mother boards.
A VXL30 accellerator, GVP ImpactII hard drive.
A couple of C128's, C64. And more than I can remember
off hand.  I'm keeping for now my A4000/060, A2000/040
and my A1200/030 and one C128.

Someone mentioned the Yaesu FT-847.  I have one and it's
a great rig. Does a fine job on HF and is a fine sat radio.
I sell ham gear for a living and recently sold a TS-2000.
I'm not a big Kenwood fan but I really like the TS-2000.
If you can afford one it's one of the finest sat radios
out there. I also still have a FT-101E and an old
Hallicrafters SX-146 rcvr. I'm active on most of the bands
phone and cw. Maybe we could get together on the air. I had
no idea there were other hams on this list.

WA9YOZ de 2E0RSH!

Hi there!
Im currently looking for a A1200 accelerator card as well as a amiga/SSTV interface (Don't suppose you might have SSTV Fax by DH2PAE, by any chance?). Im also looking for a Z2 Network card for my A1200T, and im considering the possibility of getting a IDE interface for my A1200 to add a CD-ROM drive to it.

I've got loads of old computer gear to trade, various drives, SCSI interface boards, an old laptop, etc. Unfortunatly im located in the UK.

What have you got for trade?
Regards,
2E0RSH.

I found that site ok, tks Tony.
I registered and am waiting for the confirmation.

I am looking for a half decent graphics card for
my A2000/040 if anyone has one they would like to trade
for. Right now all I have is an old Retina and it
doesn't really cut it.

I was wondering where you went since I last met you.  It's good to see that you're still active.

I'm looking for any SSTV s/w, especially the Black Belt SSTV s/w.

I'm also wondering if that CD from the UK with Amiga amateur radio s/w is still available?

I've managed to get the AARUG CD (Thats the one I belive you are referring to) sent to me from Paul Whatton, G4DCV.
Dont use the email address on the AARUG website for contacting G4DCV - Its out of date. Use the one on qrz.com.

Hope that helps,
Hodgkinson.
EDIT: The (Unfortunatly rather disused) AAURG website is located at http://www.amigau.com/amigarealm/aarug/index.html

Just thought re the AARUG software...

Take a look at this thread that I started re Disk Archive 66 on the CDROM

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29452

Hey, if anyone gets a copy of the CD Id appreciate it if you could let me know how you get on with the SSTV software.
I've actually made the PCB from the disk 66 archive in the hope of getting the software to work. I had to edit the PCB layout somewhat in the PCB editing program to get the pad holes to appear correctly and the 25 Pin D connector pads to be the correct size, so if anyone looks into making that PCB, give me a shout. I might be able to assist you.

Regards,
Hodgkinson.

Hi all

Spotted my name and callsign being bandied about so I thought I'd say hi.

Alas I sold my Amiga 060 tower a couple of years ago on ebay. It was the last of a long line that included several A2000s and 500s. At one point as a result of clearing a skip at work I found myself with 6 Amigas. I broke the 060 tower Amiga up and sold all the cards & the case and motherboard seperately and was surprised how much I got for them.

I saw someone here was looking for an AVT. I still have one if someone can give it a good home. I also have an Opalvision graphics card if any of you are into TV graphics. Other than that I only have old commercial software left. It's all PC based here now I'm afraid.

I haven't updated the AARUG web site for several years. Would any of you like to take it over and tidy it up?

Hi, Tony (or really anyone reading this) --

I'm getting ready to sell my 2 Amiga 3000s (1 working, 1 with problems) and associated hardware and software.  I'd love to trade them for some ham gear, a really decent general-coverage receiver, an Intel-based Mac Mini, or even a decent electric guitar.  I can provide descriptions, of course, if you're interested.

I already have all the old PC gear I need, thanks.  :-D

A PM is OK, but I don't check a.org daily any more, so email to my call sign at arrl.net is probably better.

73!

Greetings G4DCV!

(Dont suppose you ever kept a record of where the programs came from that make up the AARUG CD ... Im trying to find a version of that aformentioned SSTV program that will work on a A1200 - Thus im trying to trace the author...)

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.

Wow! SSTV on an A1200!
If you can do this, I sure would be interested.
Right now I use MMSSTV for Windoze.
I used the A1200 to run a Packet BBS for over 5
years but since Packet died it hasn't been used
for any Ham stuff.
Afraid I can't help with the CD or the author.
I have an old copy of the software that came
from Aminet but I haven't had time to look at
it much.
