Subject: [W8MWA] MOTOTRBO Software
Message-ID: <CAM=k_dd3duZ8kfb8De2YUQ9jMPGnnakJRfHcOLk1vgrL0BemRA@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings,

I am trying to program a Motorola XPR8300 repeater I bought at Dayton/Xenia
to be installed at the Scout Camp.

I am in search of anyone who might have a copy of older MOTOTRBO CPS
software that might be willing to get together and see if we can get the
repeater to cooperate and be programmed.

I have an official copy of the current Motorola MOTOTRBO CPS 2.0 software,
but the repeater has an incompatible firmware version - apparently the
solution is to find someone with the old software - so here I am.

This is my first venture back into Motorola Equipment since the crystal
days.  Their system of constantly upgraded firmware and programming
software without backwards compatibility and geographic restrictions is
causing me to look into taking up drinking.

I know that the WVU DMR repeater is an XPR8400, which uses the same
software, so if anyone has software to program the "repeater" part of the
WVU DMR system, that is exactly what I am looking for.

Any help is appreciated!

73,  Carl   WA3ZZU

Message-ID: <CAEeTWaKeQVtBm-1dHT3qbaiu3eYN1aoQLwMhaEWtNn3q+CDJvQ@mail.gmail.com>

On Monday, at 8:30 PM, we will host the North Central West Virginia 2 metre
SSB net on 144.210.  This is a simplex net for us to check long-range
2-meter communication.  It meets on the second Monday of each month at the
aforementioned times.  If you have a multimode on 2, or a regular 2 meter
SSB rig, give it a try.

Following that net, there is our regular weekly ARES Traffic and Training
net (i.e., gossip net) on our 145.43 repeater.  PL 103.5, standard offset
-600 kHz.  Membership in ARES is not required.  We try to reach out as far
as our repeater can go.  If you are far away, give it a shot anyway.

On Tuesday, those who can and wish to do so, meet at Los Mariachis for Taco
Tuesday, but only one person regularly gets tacos.  It's pretty cheap, and
more varied than burgers 'n fries, or fries 'n burgers.  Lots of ham talk
and suggestions, some home and car repair, very little discussion of
women's fashions, beauty parlors, or boy friends.  I am not sure why this
is the case, but I have attended Taco Tuesdays around Morgantown for 20
years, and I still have not figured it out.

Message-ID: <CAEeTWaKk0bz2pOMUeSRk-1cTwb8ORV-omPcoEsrKEKX6GcHa1A@mail.gmail.com>

Alright MWAers, this Tuesday is special.  At 12:00 noon, the Taco Tuesday
event will take place.  Same place as every week, Los Mariachis Restaurant
in University Town Centre, between Fusion Restaurant and Volkswagen
Morgantown/Ford Motors.

Then, at 7:00 PM, we have our monthly MWA meeting, where we discuss
activities and events of international importance, so long as they apply to
MWA.  However, this month we hope to follow the meeting with a video
presented at the ARRL national conference at the Dayton Hamfest (not in
Dayton, of course, this is ham radio: does ham radio have anything to do
with pigs and radio?).  ANYWAY, the video is quite long, so we will
probably watch it over two meetings.  Nonetheless, Here is a link to it,  I
suggest that those who do or do not understand why there would be such a
video, or why ARRL would feature it, should watch it, or at least watch the
first half.  Write down any questions you have about it.  The experts in
our club will then offer incomprehensible answers to them.  Possible
experts include Bill S. and Randy C., plus Dr Carl to refute or modify what
they say.  Threatening with the gavel will be Jan, the old man with the
ridiculous mustache.  Dan, our official counsel, will keep 911 on speed
dial. All the remaining club members will watch with bemused smiles.

Subject: [W8MWA] Advisory: Dense Fog
Message-ID: <CAAoba324CtJAA1MVj5vaCjH+BvWL17f59DdRe6DHWyTehGV-4Q@mail.gmail.com>

>From the NWS Pittsburgh:

ENSE FOG THIS MORNING... Patchy dense fog is ongoing early this morning,
with the highest concentration occurring in and around river valleys as
well as areas that received heavier rainfall on Monday.

Expect rapid changes in visibility over short distances, potentially down
to a quarter mile or less at times. Remain alert and use extra caution if
traveling. Remember to slow down, increase the distance between you and the
vehicle ahead of you, and use low beam headlights. Fog should begin to
dissipate by or shortly after 9AM EDT.

==================

Note: In Suncrest at 06:55 I saw dense fog west of my location (toward the
Mon River.) Visibility was less than 0.1 miles  However, looking north,
south, east or west, visibility was good. At 1:000 feet elevation, i am
just past the fog line at this time but not by much.

Correction: My note should have said, ?However, looking north, south or
east, visibility was good.? Looking to my west is where the dense fog is
located.

It?s early in the morning!
