And if you can't figure it out, contact your local ham radio club. I'm sure there's someone there that can explain it. URLs for local ham radio clubs: Raleigh - http://www.rars.org/ Durham - http://durhamfma.50megs.com/ Orange CO - http://www.qsl.net/w4unc/ Tanner Lovelace KB4TYE P.S. If you're interested in a novel use of linux, take a look at http://www.irlp.net/ (Internet Radio Linking Project). They use speakfreely on linux to connect ham radio repeaters. I've personally used it to talk from my house to people in Australia on 2m (146 Mhz). It's pretty cool. :-) -- Tanner Lovelace | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://wtl.wayfarer.org/ --*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- GPG Fingerprint = A66C 8660 924F 5F8C 71DA BDD0 CE09 4F8E DE76 39D4 GPG Key can be found at http://wtl.wayfarer.org/lovelace.gpg.asc --*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little order, will lose both and deserve neither. -- Benjamin Franklin History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to endure. -- Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
