Hi Ted and Gang,
    I was the one with the converted luggable. But I cheated and
completely gutted the machine and installed a 386 DX40 mother board, 9
inch B/W VGA monitor, 500 meg hard drive, 1.44 floppy, and still had
room to build in one of  Larry's demod boards. I also modified the power
supply to work on AC or from 12VDC so it could be operated in remote
locations from a 12v car battery when no AC power is available. An AT
type keyboard was modified to fit in the luggable's fold down
door/bottom, as the luggable originally used an XT type keyboard that
wouldn't work on the 386 mother board.
    The system is using the PC Labs 12 bit  A/D board modified for time
lock running Larry's SDR software and Winquake. There is also a 33.6
modem on board so I can upload any captured events if there is a phone
line available at the remote location.

     On another note, I noticed that the station names on the list for
me are incorrect. I don't know if that is just a typo or if they are
actually listed that way. If so can they be corrected?  They should be
SFN and SFZ, and I would like to reserve SFE for the partly finished E/W
sensor I am building. Also the TVZ listing can be removed from the list
as that system has been retired. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience
that may have created.


Regards, Phil

SFN & SFZ
