Hi All, I am very interested in this project as I have a low band Syntor X on it's way from the US to London.....Have seen the Anaconda and PIEXX projects but...
Wow! I frequently pay more for shipping than the radios on eBay, I don't even want to think about what it costs to ship a Syntor to the UK! I have a low band...
Hi Skip, Well the postage is usually twice as much as the radio to get them to the UK. The biggest problem with Ebay is getting the seller to ship over here...
Hello to all, I am new to the group, I do have some Syntor and SyntorX. I already build a serial interface for Syntor VHF radio using two PIC 16F628. One is...
Hi Michel! As they say great minds run in the same gutter! The Xcat is based on the 16F877 PIC. How do you communicate between the radio and the head half...
Hello Skip, Just to refresh your memory, Syntor radio (not X) don't have a huge CPU chip. The frequency (mode) are held in a bipolar prom and so are the...

Hopefully this isn't too far from topic for y'all. A number of UHF Syntor X'en have gone for the wealthy side of $250 on eBay in the last couple of weeks....
Cool. I've never played with any of the original Syntor's so I don't know much about them. 19200 was a random choice, there's certainly no need for a high...
I would assume they went to folks that already had agency buyers and they knew they were making a handy profit, or they went to folks that heard about them and...
I think it's more of a matter of supply and demand. I watched ebay for months without seeing *any* UHF X radios at all (lots of X 9000's however). There are...
I am running plain old TTL, the distance are short and i'm running low speed.... ... From: wb6ymh To: xcat@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 1:07...
For those of us totally unfamiliar with the Syntor line but VERY interested in the xcat project, could someone please provide some basic guidelines on what to...
Thanks for the info, Skip. Great shopping list information for upcomming hamfests! Hopefully, this will help reduce my usual "oops-factor" buying habits. John ...

... If I may "revise and extend" Skip's remarks a little here: There's only one range in low-band radios, and these can frequently be used to cover both 10 and...

Skip: Curious how you're handling ranges and v-bit shifts in your software? De...
The v-bit shifts are calculated from the frequency based on the information from http://home.xnet.com/~pakman/syntor/syntorx.htm . I'm assuming a range 1 radio...

It sounds like you are using some defined protocols. The downfall of the Piexx board, in my opinion, is the requirement for Windows on the controlling PC. So...
