It has been carefully designed, assembled and tested to meet your demanding specifications. We do need your warranty registration on file. Please take a moment to complete this card and return it to us. The KAM is a Kantronics hardware and software design incorporating the AX.25 Version 2 Level 2 Packet protocol as adopted by the American Radio Relay League. This Operator’s Manual con- tains information from earlier KPC-1 and KPC-2 manuals, modified as appropriate. In addition, Kantronics acknowledges the use of material from the original Tucson Amateur Packet Radio Cor- poration (TAPR) TNC-1 manual granted by OEM agreement. We have attempted to make this Operator’s Manual technically and typographically correct as of the date of the current printing. Production changes to the KAM my include errata or addendum sheets as required. We solicit your comments and/or suggested corrections. Please send to Kan- tronics Inc., 1202 E 23 rd St., Lawrence, Ks 66046. We have attempted to organize the manual in the most logical sequence to simplify installation and operation. Due to the complexity of the KAM, you may wish to save the "exotic" parts until lat- er. Refer to those sections covering multi-connect, gateway and simultaneous HF/VHF packet oper- ation after you have the KAM installed and operating. Throughout the manual we will use the terms "enter", "return" or "carriage return" inter- changeably. In addition, the symbol <CR> is used to signify the action of operating the key which causes entry of a carriage return. PRECAUTIONS CAUTION: The KAM is grounded through its connections to your transceivers. Make sure your transceivers are properly grounded and your computer has equal ground potential. Follow the grounding instructions in your transceiver manual. Cables provided with the KAM Communicator are shielded. If you decide to use substitute ca- bling, be certain it is also shielded. We do not recommend the use of RS-232 ribbon cable in the ham shack environment. RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to mini- mize radio frequency interference in a residential installation; however, there is no guarantee that radio or television interference will not occur in any particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip- ment off and on when the radio or television is on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the in- terference by one of the following measures: Reorient the radio or TV receiving antenna; Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver; Move the computer away from the receiver; Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on dif- ferent branch circuits. If necessary the user should contact the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for addi- tional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the FCC helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems" 3 This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402 by ordering Stock No. 004-00000345-4. RFI SUPPRESSION In moving to the world of digital communications via computers, a new dimension of RFI may be encountered. In spite of the equipment manufacturers' diligence, each new piece of electronic equipment will react differently in each separate environment. Every amateur station will have its own unique layout, equipment variation and antenna installations. Experience has shown that these differences are related to the total RF environments and may causative factors in RFI in- duced problems. The suggestions given here may assist in resolving RFI problems you may en- counter in your "unique" station. 1. Use shielded cable for all interconnections between equipment. 2. Make all interconnecting cables as short as practical. A balance should be maintained between cable length and equipment proximity. At times simply moving the video monitor one foot fur- ther from an interface or other device will solve the "screen hash" problem. 3. Antenna runs should be kept away from equipment control lines and/or interconnecting cables. 4. Ground leads should be as short as possible and go to a GOOD EARTH GROUND. 5. Interconnecting cables appearing to act as radiators or antennas should be looped through a toroid. Be certain toroids, if used, are designed for the frequency in use. 4 Chapter 1 - Introduction CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The KAM is a high performance terminal unit providing Morse (CW), RTTY, ASCII, AMTOR and Packet communications on the High Frequency (HF) bands. It will also provide Packet operation on VHF/UHF bands. Each of these capabilities is is amplified in the following paragraphs. Microprocessor control means the KAM has optimal filter settings for each mode, shift and data rate selected. KAM has the added features of multiple RTTY shifts and limiter/limiterless operation. Every computer you use with the KAM will have to have a simple terminal program to interface with the KAM. You can have enhanced operation, such as file transfers, with a sophisticated mo- dem program. Hardware Description KAM incorporates and integrates

I know that these conferences have served as a sounding board for technical ideas. Some have become standards and accepted by the mainstream. Amateur packet radio is certainly an example of amateurs contributing to the state-of-the-art. The League is now faced with increasing difficulty justifying our precious spectrum. It doesn’t at all reflect poorly on amateurs. The problem is that commercial services are seeking spectrum, on a shared basis if necessary, when they can’t get exclusive allocations. If you’d asked me earlier this year if extensive amateur use of a band would protect it against encroachment, I would have said “yes.” You will remember the saying, “Use it or lose it.” Well, we certainly can lose a band by not using it.

  • Chad Is Our Most Important Product
    CHAD IS OUR MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT An Engineer’s Memoir of Teletype Corporation Jim Haynes The author operating W5YM in 1957 1 I. How it all started When I was growing up in a small town I thought it was an awfully boring place. Now I realize that I had some opportunities that probably would not have been available in a larger city. For one thing, it was possible for a kid to hang out at the newspaper office, telephone office, telegraph office, or radio station and watch a Teletype machine in operation. Things were slow enough that the people who worked there usually had time to answer questions. When I wanted to understand how a Teletype machine worked the wire chief at the telephone office let me borrow the “green book”1. After reading all about selector cams and swords and code bars and pull bars I could drop in to the Western Union office where the manager, a friend of the family, let me play with a little-used printer and see in action all the parts I had read about. Another advantage to living out in the sticks was that television arrived very late. This allowed a pretty good news stand to remain in full operation through most of my teen years. Jack’s News Stand carried several magazines of interest: Radio-Electronics, Radio & Television News, and the amateur radio magazines QST and CQ. Hugo Gernsback’s Radio-Electronics ran a series of articles by Ed- mund C. Berkeley about digital computers, which gave me an early introduction to binary arithmetic, Boolean algebra, and logic circuits.

    Idaho ARES Digital Communications Principles 1 • This set of slides serves to provide a foundation for Emergency Coordinators, NET Managers and NET control operators in determining what practices and procedures are to be adopted. • Although some slides are applicable towards addressing HOW to conduct digital communications, the focus here is on WHY certain principles should be considered when designing digital communications practices. • A comprehensive document, focusing on the HOW of digital communications, is being prepared for publication on the Idaho ARES web site on how to conduct digital communications. 1 60-Meters Needs to be Considered • The Most Restrictive of Bands - NTIA vs FCC - NTIA Assigned Frequency vs VFO - Digital Communications centered on NTIA assigned frequency ‣ Digital Communications centered on 1500 Hz • Interoperability • 60m Practices can be applied to any band • Practices on other bands may not be applicable on 60m 2 • The 60-meter amateur radio band presents the most restrictive regulatory requirements for digital operations. 60-meters also presents the only operational opportunity to directly communicate with another radio service, and specifically, FEMA. - Amateur Radio is a secondary allocation on 60-meters. The primary allocation is for Federal stations that operate under the authority of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), not the FCC. FCC regulations for Amateur Radio operations on the 60-meter band inherit the requirements of NTIA regulations. - NTIA allocates channels based on the assigned center frequency. The VFO frequency is offset by one half of the channel bandwidth from the assigned center frequency. For example, the NTIA allocation for 60m channel 1 has an assigned frequency of 5332 kHz, and with a channel bandwidth of 3 kHz, the VFO frequency is 5330.5 kHz Upper Side Band.
