Pandora and LPU Shipping Status

UPDATES

July 2nd, Pandora orders placed before July 1st have now all been shipped. LPU orders (and others) should be caught up by July 10th.

June 28th, the backlog is down to 80. This is SO different from shipping a 4 ounce PCB assembly.

The office is running a backlog of approximately 150 orders currently. In order to minimize shipping costs to International customers, We are trying to group LPU and Pandora orders together even though they were placed at different times. If you are an International customer and you won't be ordering the Pandora, let us know and we'll dispatch the LPU without further delay. Email Office

N4XI X1W-2 Kit The 1-Wire® outdoor humidity and temperature sensor kit was designed to be used with the TAPR T-238 APRS Weather Station or N4XI's Linux based WXN weather server over APRS. It should work with any other 1-Wire® based software as the design is based on the original Dallas Semiconductor 1-Wire® Weather station. The humidity sensor with the kit is an improved version over the original part. It has proven stable with good accuracy over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Read more

PSK31 Without A PC?

NUE-PSK was presented at the 2007 ARRL/TAPR DCC, Hartford, CT

The design team of Milt Cram, W8NUE and George Heron, N2APB presented a new, handheld, battery-operated modem for PSK31 communications (and other digital modes) at the ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference this past September. The "NUE-PSK Digital Modem" does not require the use of a PC and will work with any SSB transceiver to finally allow PSK31 to be easily done in the field ... "portable PSK".

See the NUE-PSK web page www.amqrp.org/kits/nue-psk on the AmQRP website for overview, details, photos and more. Also available there for the download is an overview article, the slides used to present at the conference, and a movie file showing the modem in action.

The team is also using Yahoo Groups to provide for online discussion with the designers and those interested in the project. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com and select "NUE-PSK" ... it's free and easy to sign up.

The American QRP Club is currently working to kit up the NUE-PSK modem and will soon have it available for ordering. See the note at the bottom of the web page to sign up for kit availability news.

Your Working E-Mail Address Is Important To TAPR

As we transition our office operations to a reduced paper operation your email address is becoming more importatant to us. I know many of your are reluctant to spread your email address around just as we are. You may have noticed that the office e-mail address as well as those of members and officers are not provided in plain text on the website anymore.

We do ask for your e-mail address whenever you place an order or join. These addresses are used only to contact you when necessary for the processing of the order. As we transition to a paperless office, they will also be used to remind you of renewal time for your membership. Some of you may have already been the 'target' of our initial attempts to send you a renewal reminder.

What our trial reminder e-mails have shown is that a high percentage of addresses in our records are no longer working. This is most likely because many are trying to avoid spam and change addresses when the old one becomes too much of a target. Another reason is the result of ISPs such as Comcast and TWC (Roadrunner) having swapped customers. If you are one of these lucky ones, please contact us with your new address.

What's the point of this little article? Please trust TAPR with an e-email address which is likely to remain workable for at least a year and update us if you do need to change your address. We're not going to share it with anyone else. We won't even give it to another member without your OK.

If you have an e-mail screening feature that requires an entry in a white list or other means of authorization, please contact us for the addresses to use.

P. S. there's no connection between our membership database and the address database for any email list you may belong to. So unfortunately you'll have to notify the office and also change your e-mail reflector setting separately.
