The General Electric MCD (Mobile Communications Division) was big on
TLAs (Three letter Acronyms). I always hoped there would be an LBI
(Lynchburg Book of Instruction) outlining TLAs. We have GETC's, MOM
PC,s IEA computers, CSD computers, The MOM looks at CIC's the TRIM,
VMIMs, and AIC's as well
And of course, the one that ALL hams always follow
(NOT), and all authors love to hear and say:
RTFM - Read The Fine/Fantastic Manual (substitute some
other expletive-deleted word for F)
Probably not an acronym you see often, but I bet you
see it spelled out fully on empty pages in a lot of
I've got some conversion info for GE 800 MHz Exec II / MVP equipment
to put them on 1.2 GHz. It is easiest to use 2 units, but the
conversion does detail how to add a second LO for the RX using a
DownEast Microwave LO board. I've not performed this modification
myself, so no idea how well

As PSK31 and other digital modes evolve in Amateur Radio, any guess as to how
long it will take for the FCC to put this into the exam pool? And you thought

Readers who have a military background may also remember:
FIGMO - usually a good thing
SNAFU - usually a bad thing
MIS - Manual Impulsive Stimulation, sometimes referred to as a Brogan
Adjustment
DSA - Diddle-Stick Artist (someone who assumes that a non-working receiver
can be fixed by tweaking
And don't forget FUBAR - way worse than SNAFU.
Now can we get back to repeaters?
