Re: Trying to work with a CM11A under Linux

Hi Robert, Thanks.

This weekend I'm going to try *97 to restore factory defaults, power down the system, power it up, and see if that may help. The 4229's were added over time and maybe the motherboard got confused or I set something somewhere else that I shouldn't have that needs to be cleared.

I see you responded to my post "Ademco vista 20P expansion zone interior delay problem" on the 19th. Thanks for the help. I added a little more detail after your post.

Above you mentioned "don't change the default codes or lock the board". Question, wouldn't power up, * # within first 30 seconds take care of that? No big deal, I wasn't planning on doing that, I just didn't know there was a way I could "lock" a board that * # at power up wouldn't resolve. Wouldn't want to do something accidental.

Regarding new resaleable condition, absolutely, I'd bench test it at my ESD safe work station using alligator clips.

Very much appreciate your help!

Well I never imagined I would spawn this much debate over nothing.

Dont worry about it anymore, I accomplished what I set out to do. I have several established companies in the US and Canada, who are willing to work with me on contractual terms.

To answer many of the odd questions and points brought up in this very very long and pointless discussion.

I have never used another name (specifically I have never used the name "Tom")in this forum or any other forum. I have nothing to hide from (except spam).

To be honest I have to thank all of your post it was rather quite amusing, and I enjoyed it.

Lucky they didn't prosecute him, fine him and throw him in jail. He knew what he was doing was illegal. Broadcasting on an emergency service frequency is just plain stupid. Especially after 9/11.

He could at least have got himself deputized. It still wouldn't be legal, but he might have a flimsy excuse that might have kept him out of trouble. The feds have a job to do, and he knew what he did could get him in deep trouble. Or he should have.

Most transceivers have highly integrated transmit/receive circuitry. The synthesizers that generate the needed frequencies are controlled by the on-board mpu. The same unit may be sold for different usage, so there must be some means of restricting the frequency coverage.

Some sets have an internal jumper that bypass these frequency restriction. I doubt this guy had the equipment needed to redesign a highly integrated portable rig. Instead, he may have found instructions on the web on how to cut a jumper.

These days, it doesn't matter if your heart is in the right place. You gotta have all the documents and papers signed and stamped.

Only those with US Coast Guard approved floatation devices need apply?

Thanks! Rich

'scuse - gotta go hit another bowl....

Jim, You've been trolled, in case you hadn't noticed.

It's my fault. I accidentally crossposted troll-food the other day. Please, don't punish me!

He shouldn't have had to hide his device, is the point --- Einstein.

Particularly since mom has the TV busy watching soaps and is finishing off a quart of vodka, eh fleen? As you now know, FAS is an ugly thing.

This is an illegal requirement. You can be sued for this.

You are addressing this proposal to the wrong group. You want to be talking with an "embedded systems engineer" with strong ethernet programming skills. This probably will not be much of a job for them as it is likely you don't know enough to conceive a requirement of any complexity. The people who know this sub-specialty can draw on several candidate reference designs off the top of their head very quickly, and patch together the software already at their disposal to get a prototype working quickly. The main problem you will have is that the person who takes you up the the offer will have something wrong with them.

As you can tell from the quality, demeanour, and overall tone of Mr F's posts, he has a rather deeply rooted personality disorder --- a type of disorder that attracts the attention of mainstream troll-hood. As mainstream trolls, our objective is to trigger as many enraged, apoplectic outbursts as we can from certain individuals (such as Mr F) to teach them that such outbursts are counter-productive, unnecessary, and are simply an ineffective method of interacting with their fellow human beings --- even those who disapprove of their NNTP posts. Most would simply find it laughable that someone has a derogatory opinion of them or their NNTP posts --- only a very limited minority of newsgroup users will actually become enraged and post adrenaline-charged, rage-filled ripostes in response --- these individuals are like gold to the troll community because these are the people with whom we can do our most valuable work. Mr F. is one these precious individuals. Please feel free to use him in this capacity --- all we ask is that you don't over-stress his fragile ego to the breaking point (as could easily be done). The more Mr F can be shown that his vitriolic diatribes are something that the world finds amusing --- not something that inspires fear or awe, the quicker he will learn to change his errant ways and be brought back into the fold of humanity --- minus his vituperative rantings. Please, no over-stressing of an already fragile and fractured ego!

Indeed! How excrutiatingly mah-velous ...

Whattsa matta- your favorite cartoon shows in re-runs?

You and the rest of your ilk, mes amis, are FAR more entertaining than cartoons ever were! ;)

I believe true maydays are never illegal on any band. Note you do not claim he was arrested for illegal operation. (I admit it has been over

As I wrote, seizure of a non-type accepted radio, that has been legally used, is different than saying the particular mayday use itself was illegal.

You sort of got it there. I do not believe a true mayday requires type accepted equipment.

The perfect way to have the government put the clamps on maydays, is to make them a nuisance.

The normal comm channels into 911 work pretty well, so in practice, these fears won't likely materialize.

The point is that context itself can define criminality.
