List Members,

As you know, all email lists at QTH.NET are currently being run on a
program called Majordomo. Since this program was written there have been
many changes in list management software. We had hoped that Majordomo
would update as time went by, but sadly it hasn't (even though the authors
said they would). To that end QTH.NET will be changing some of the lists
to a more user-friendly package called Mailman. This list is one of those
that will be changing.

Mailman allows you to manage your subscriptions on the web. You can
subscribe, unsubscribe, put your subscription on hold, change from normal
to digest mode and much more. You can still manage your subscription via
email, but the GUI is much easier. If you would like to have a look at the
user guide (a work in progress), go to:
http://www.imsa.edu/~ckolar/mailman/mailman-userguide-0.1.pdf
You will need Acrobat Reader to view this file.

What do you have to do when we change? Pretty much nothing! When the list
is moved, you will receive a welcome message from Mailman. You should save
this as it contains the address you are subscribed under as well as a
password (which you can change). You'll need the password to make any
changes in your subscriptions. You will also receive the new list posting
address along with links to the list info page, subscription management
page and more.

While I don't expect any problems with the transfer, please be patient if
problems do arise and be confident that we will be working to solve them as
quickly as possible.

Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20011229165649.007b89c0@earthlink.net>

Hi All:  Here is a good question for everyone.  I am involved in the
restoration
of the LST-325 Radio Room....We have aquired a LM-10 Frequency meter.

As the LM-10 derives its power from an external source, it seems that it would
not have been the proper choice for a ship.

The question is....Would a LM- with odd number, such as LM-5, LM-9, LM-11, etc
be the proper LM for a ship as opposed to the even numbers like LM-8,
LM-10, etc.

Anyone out there know for sure exactly which LM was used aboard ship?

All of the LMs worked from an external power source
They were split up into odd and even number LMs
One group plugged into an AC power supply. The
second group pluged into radio sets such as the
RU-GF radio sets.
On the AC power supply the labels on the
transformer say:

transformer :    primary 125-115-105 volts
secondary  510/255v  0.025amps DC
12.volts (cann't read the rest)
Choke   30h at 25ma

I bought this new at a hamfest a few years back and never used it. No box,
and the manufacturer's label is not on the bottom in the obvious place so I
don't know the wattage. Looks like 25 or 30 watts from the tip. Model is
SensaTemp.

$25 plus shipping.

Sounds like what I need for my Pace desoldering station, Avery.  Does
the iron have a DIN plug on the end?
