Hi George:
You're absolutely right, and my apologies to W8JI, but I said that a
doubling of voltage is 6dB, and a doubling of power is 3dB. Which is
correct.
But for some reason, it just didn't connect that it takes 4 times the
power at the transmitter to produce twice the voltage at the receiver.
Gaining S-units ain't easy is it? But I'll still take every dB I can
get!

Subject: Connecting Cluster to CT/Log+etc thru internet??
Message-ID: <199604022212.AA23278@interlock.lexmark.com>
I have done it.
You put a modem onto COM1 or COM2, and set CT up for LOCAL TNC on that port.
You then ALT-O, ALT-T to the packet window, and start the ATDT string to dial
out.
When you finally get connected to the cluster you want, a SH/DX fills the
Announce Window up with spots.
Beware of using COM3 or COM4 with this, it just doesn't work right.
For some reason the echo doesn't show up in the packet window and you type
blind.
If you want, you can hook the cluster tnc up to another networked CT computer,
and set it up also for LOCAL TNC.
The interesting thing is that BOTH serial connections get the keystrokes from
either ALT-T CT window.
So a SH/DX gets spots from BOTH systems at once.
