    PBX for TA-838/TT or TA-312/PT when equipped with a touch tone adapter.

    Does anyone know of a PBX that will support the TA-838/TT. I only ask because I own several of them as well as several PA-312/PTs with touch tone dialing adapters that I would like to put to use at special events and our church summer camps. -- Tom Horne

    Ham Radio Operators / Steel Soldiers

    That's Morse the inventer not Morris the cat. The Man's name was Samuel Finley Breese Morse. No relation to Morris the Cat food shill. He invented what became the first international digital communications system. His technology is now a historical footnote but we can at least remember his name.

    S-250 Shelter / Ham Shack Conversion

    I am still hoping for advice on what sized vehicle would be needed to tow a trailer with one of these S250 shelters on it. Also what kind of trailer braking system should be used? The shelter would be fitted out as a radio station for Amateur Radio Emergency Service deployment. -- Tom

    Please don't be this guy(pics inside)

    Please don't give up! I want to know how to "actually figure the load weight and capacity of the tow vehicle." I want to put an S250 on a trailer to use as a mobile radio room. If it is practical I would like to use the space under the shelter on each side to carry an AB-952 antenna mast and...

    CHOCK those tires!!

    A Fire Apparatus Engineer (FAE) I was working with had a truck run away from in front of him while he was running the pump. It had those hollow bottomed rubber chocks and the truck simply vibrated them into the ground. He set me to guard the chock blocks so that no one would touch them. I...

    WOW, brush truck 45

    At five hundred gallons the water weighs 4150#. That leads me to the suspicion that the truck may well be over loaded. Am I wrong about that? With the empty weight of the tank and the weight of the pump, firefighters, hand tools and a couple of fifty pound back pack pumps they are pushing the...

    Please don't be this guy(pics inside)

    So let me ask the straightforward question. What size vehicle would be the safe level for towing the lightest trailer that would safely carry an S250 size shelter. I have a half ton van that is nearing the end of it's service life. Since whatever I get will have to serve as my work and tow...
