I did not get any "strange" replies from the list server, but the 
Eudora does a fantastic job of sorting for me. So good, that I have 
to look through the trash periodically to make sure legit mail didn't 
get accidentally tossed. Can't win for losing with the spam situation.

Message headers show you as the 'From' address, Ed.  I'd suspect 
that Mongol.net is sending the bounces from that dead addy to the 
'From' rather than the 'Sender' (alinco-admin@mailman.qth.net) 
address in these posts.  I should get one from this mail also.

I cc'd the list admin with this and mayhaps they'll remove that 
address < jt1cg@mongol.net > from the subscriber list.  Prolly be 
easier than getting Mongol to change where they send the bounces.

No, but I guess the Alinco stuff is either very boring or so darn good no one
questions it !!

I'll toss one out regarding a DX-70.  Has anyone come up with a  CW filter more
narrow than 500 Hz ?  I work lots of CW and could sure use one.  I really like
the 250 Hz filter on my IC706.  But, the DX-70 is so much easier to run by
"feel" when mobile than the more complicated 706.

Ed, Don't feel like your the Lone Ranger! 
  I'm out here but my DX-70TH is so damn good, I don't have anything to ask 
about. I use it as my MARS base radio and it is my backup 6 meter rig. 
I would like them to add 6 meters to their base radio, but other than that, 
no complaints whatsoever.

I use the AOR TDF-370 external DSP with my DX-70 and it is an excellent
combination.  Not only do I get a filter that will go down to 100 Hz, it
generates a pseudo stereo signal that is amazing. It has DSP noise
reduction for SSB and CW. It also decodes psk31 and RTTY directly, will
do slow scan (with a computer) and a number of other modes.
Their web site is www.aorusa.com

I have a DR 610. This radio does everything.
 Then it was discontinued and replaced by the 620. I read all of the info
about the 620. It does not even come close to having all the features of the
610.

No, there are many of us here. 

Anyone having trouble with the DX-70 TH. I have two of them and they have
been into warrantee repair and trouble after trouble. Receive dead on
different bands, low or no power out, etc.  Just inquiring if the early
versions have problems like I am experiencing?

  Is that here on alinco@qth.net ?? If that's the case, I need to do something about that.

  Hmmm... looking at the list info (which I can do, since I'm the Alinco list OWNER, hihi),
jticg is listed three times! Looks like it's someone from Manchuria (when a listing ends with
.mn, in this case, I don't think it's Minnesota!).

  Anyways, that listing is out of here. If anyone else has any problems with messages here

  Oh. Down by that now-infamous Holiday Inn mess (the Texas legislators). Not
starting a discussion about that, because that's off-topic (unless we can prove
that one or more of them was a ham, using an Alinco radio?). But I digress.

My 590 was "factory" upgraded to what they later called a "592" (really
a 590 with a 599 CPU).  My original internal battery lasted about 7
years -- the replacement one from Radio Shack is still doing fine.  I
don't know if it makes any difference, but my 590 normally has 12vDC
applied even when it is off.

I have had a 590 for abt 10 years now. I have only had to replace the
battery once in that time. I think yours must be drawing to much current for
some reason.

I've got both a 590 (one of the first) and a 600. The 590 battery needed
one replacement last year, took a generic lithium battery of the same
voltage and approximate size, soldered some solder-wick on for leads, and
so far so good. Battery models that work: #2032, or #876, or #LR44.

Glad to see some activity on the list.

My question is about a DR 600. I've been using it since new as a
remote-control cross-band repeater (handi range extender, basically) and
last year it stopped putting out measureable power on UHF. I can still hear
it within a few hundred yards of the house. I assume the power amp went
South, but am interested in knowing if anyone else has been there and done
that, and can give me pointers, including how to test and where to get
spares. TIA.

BTW, it is really great as a cross-band remotely-controllable repeater -
they really improved the RC protocol over that in the 590. The only problem
was that the DTMF decoder was set WAY too sensitive and suffered from lot's
of falsing. I have a fix for this, if anyone wants it.

I am thinking about getting on 220 MHz, mobile.  The only transceiver I 
see made for 220 MHz is by ALINCO.  How good is this transceiver?  Is 
220 MHz not active, because only one manufacturer of 220 MHz transceiver?

I took the front end of the 590 apart and lo and behold found that I had not done a very good job of soldering the battery in last year.  I re-did my work and hopefully won't have to open it again for about 5 years or so.
 
Thanks for the support and many suggestions, they were all great!

David: The 222 MHz Alinco mobile is a solid radio, easy to operate. I
like mine. 222 MHz is more active in some areas than others. In many
major cities, it's quite active. In other areas, not so busy, which can
be an advantage if you like a good long conversation with another party,
without fear of bugging others. If you like the notion of having a
frequency not monitored by many, it can also be an advantage, as many
nets have found. And each new 222 MHz user adds to the numbers of those
using that band, which is a deterrent to those who would like to take it
away for commercial use.
