    An open letter to the DIRT team at Satelliteguys

    Don't waste your breath, I have the same problem here in NH getting WMUR as a SV channel and the funny part is we had WMUR in 2006 and they took it away. Then they fixed the law so we could get WMUR and after begging and pleading with Dish Network thru the DIRT team we could never get a honest...

    VIP 222K....

    I just had a tech come out to replace my bad VIP222 receiver with a 222k. When did they decide to do away with the S-Video out connection?? I used it on my old 222 and had great video on my Proscan analog TV. Also noticed that the 222k had changed the guide format so that I can't have just...

    Partial and Total signal loss message in error.

    Don't feel bad I get the same thing here on my VIP222. I have to do a hard reset at least 1-2 a week. Very annoying. Signal levels are fine, check switch is good. I'll bet it's a software glitch. My software in the 222 is 5.04

    Which cable to use for receive-only

    If it's working great as is don't fix it. :) All depends what impedence your scanner requires some scanners are 75 ohm. RG6 is 75 ohm cable. If you find out it requires 50 ohm cable a good quality low loss coax is like a LMR400 very low loss and works like a champ. Bob N1WBD

    Locals in Southern Vermont

    Now if they give all of NH subs WMUR like they used to in 2006 I'd be happy!! All of VT gets their VT channels. BRING BACK WMUR write the DIRT team and tell them you want WMUR back!!

    I played from home running 1D in NH. Heard plenty of stations on the air this weekend. and 10 meters was pretty crowded too considering band conditions. I did manage to work W1AW in Newington CT at ARRL HQ on 80 yesterday. 73 Bob N1WBD

    Is NTS still big in Ham Radio

    Yes they still have traffic nets, in my opinion though not much traffic gets passed at least up here in NH. I think NTS is slowly fading away as time passes kinda like the barber shop. Bob N1WBD

    722k going to "Partial Signal Loss" at random

    I have a similar problem with my VIP222. In my case I just have to change the channel and intermittently the complete signal loss screen comes up and after about 1-2 min it'll switch to partial signal loss. Only a reset will fix this. I have to reset my 222 at least 1 once a week sometimes 3...
