No wiring between them is required. battery life is over a year for the xmtr since I use an external battery pack. I currently use such a setup to monitor motion in my home and the xmtr gets activate many times during the day proving battery life. Terry Schwartz wrote: |

Modify the receiver to eliminate the sounder and substitute brighter LEDs for the three that currently are part of the design. John S wrote: |

| OGER <OGER@OGERplace.com>: Sep 28 08:37AM -0700 I am not a troll but I can see that many here have big prejudice problems. Some think they are so smart and they are generating fake news right here. I come here seeking help to a problem and get hog wash. A few did make some suggestion worth investigating. Thanks to them. Strange group here. A friend of mine gave me the best suggestion and he is only a technician. |

| JBI <JBI@ez1.net>: Sep 28 08:46AM -0400 I have owned this laptop for a good number of years now. I actually have two of them and keep one as a standby in case the other isn't working plus there's one other issue and that is on the one, I occasionally lose sound. This has been going on since it was new. Sound will cut out for no reason and the only way to restore is with a reboot. Over the years, the hard drive has been replaced and new OS installed. I use dual boot either Win or Ubuntu and it doesn't matter as sound will sometimes cut out on either OS. The motherboard was also replaced within the first three years and the problem persists. So, it's obviously a hardware issue, but where? If I had one wish, it would be to fix the problem once and for all! Thanks for your help. |

When the sound next cuts out try inserting and then removing a headphone/speaker pin plug into the remote speaker socket. Might be a dirty switch on the socket...

ONe year at the oldest and largest local used book sale, I came upon some technical books, including a 4th edition of the Radiotron Designer's Handbook. All only a few dollars each. That got me excited, I hadn't paid attention to that section before. And I did after that, and never saw that sort of book there again. Hobby electronic books would appear every few years, but nothing significant. There was no trending. But I know that finding something I really want makes me hope. Whether it's a book sale or garage sale, finding something really good pulls me along, it gets me excited and I keep at it, hoping to find some of the same, and inevitably it doesn't, though usually I find something else that's interesting and exciting. Though, for about a decade, I was finding shortwave receivers every year, recnt and old, all for under ten dollars. I even saw that Astronaut 7 that I had decided I wanted, after finding a lone copy of ELementary Electronics with the radio advertised on the back cover. But it was plugged in and being used, so I assume it wasn't for sale, but probably I should have asked. But it was a good run, both a Grundig 500 and 700, a Sony SW-1 with accessories in the "suitcase", some older fairly generic portables that included a shortwave band or two, and the TMC GPR-90 for $20 which was the only tube receiver I saw during that priod. The last one was about 2016, an early seventies Panasoic (I think) portable that looked like a piece of stereo equipment, but was a multiband portable. So the search never ends, who knows what you'll find tomorrow. Just yesterday I found a CD that is a fairly popular album, but I've never seen it on CD in the used market. Michael |

I work as a volunteer in a used book store operated by The Friends Of The Library. Over the last year or so we've seen a Big Uptick in book donations from Baby Boomers that are now moving on to assisted living or nursing homes -- or just downsizing their housing. Many times it all comes from their offspring who are in a hurry to clean out the house and sell it. So, there seems to be little regard to the valuation. (Sadly, a Great Percentage is comprised of baby boomer college text books -- and worthless.) So, I would assume a lot of the "stuff" covered in the OP and followups is out there to be discovered. Unfortunately "they" might find it more convenient and simple to toss it in the Roll-Off Roll-On dumpster along with the bean bag chairs, lava lamps, shag carpet, and 8-track decks. But, keep trolling the second hand stores! (... or, dumpster dive!)
