- K7HSX — Cliff has modified the TSmuf-4 program for his new T/S 2868. He likes it except for the symbol shift key which he thinks was designed by someone with SIX fingers and excellent dexterity.
- WAS5JG — Mike says that he enjoys QZX although his T/S 1000 is frustrating at times. He uses it to track the satellites. He might get a T/S 2068 if the software on the T/S 1000 is compatible. (In general, it will not be — see table in Nov QZX for differences. KSXY)
- KD6TO — Dave is having little trouble getting AF8J’s RTTY program to run on the same a 16K machine that he uses for NU4V’s CW program.
- WB4TDB — Vollie suggests that one obtain an extra T/S 1000 to loan out to people. He says that he has loaned his out to quite few people over the last few months and quite a number of them are now in the hobby of micro computing. In his local ham club there was at least one member who was very anti- computer and is now very pro T/S 1000. And a second one who has put his TI-99/4a on the back burner for the T/S 1000.
- KA4RKZ — Jim has cased his Timex in a Gladstone keyboard unit and added a Memotech interface, word processer, 32K memory, and a Seikosha printer. The word processor is super when it works, but he has had it back to Memotech four times now and this time they are charging for repair. As a result he wrote this letter with a short typing program.
- KA6BCO — Bix writes “I am a tech and still trying for 13 WPM. I now have two of the T/S 1000. The last one I bought at K-Mart for $29.95. I am typing this on a Suntronics keyboard and have one of the stickon keyboards on the other unit. I now have a Z-Dubber and it has been a big help, especially with some of the prerecorded tapes. I recently bought a new cassette player, a G. E. model that is for use with computers. It seems to be working well also although the volume control is very sensitive.
- WB5HVS — Roy renewed, contributed toward the expenses, and wrote that he was working with a ZX81 with 80K RAM, Byte Back MD-2 modem, Gorilla Banana printer with Memotech centronics interface, and a NU4V cw interface with RTTY on the way.
- WA3VRJ — Chuck has a T/S 1000 with Suntronics keyboard. He threw out the connecting cable and wired it direct. He uses it on CW with the NU4V program.
- W8NFQ — Ed has a kit ZX81 and a T/S 1000 he bought for $20. He has a fine dup check, log writer, and alpha-numeric print out program for field day running. It will be completely functional when he gets the hardware time-of-day clock going.
- WB0ROQ — Harley has a big Keyboard on his T/S 1000 and 16K RAM. He is building the E-Z Loader from Computer & Electronics magazine.
- VE7CZJ — John has a ZX81 which he uses with the NU4V CW program. He has also added a full Keyboard. He also has direct video to a 12″ TV using the method shown by KBCG in April 83 Ham Radio plus the white on black display by character inversion as shown in the article by Steve Pense in Computer and Electronics of May 83. A11 systems work beautifully, are reasonablely simple and cheap so he recommends them to anyone. He says thet the white on black characters are a lot clearer and much easier on the eyes.
- WB4ENB — John owns a ZX80, ZX81, T/S 1500 (serial nr. 25), and a T/S 2068. He uses NU4V’s CWSS program on the ZX81 with a large keyboard and homemade interface.
- W8FXZ — Dick has three Sinclairs, a ZX80 for tinkering, a ZX81 for use at work, and a T/S 1000 for use in ham radio. He is waiting for a 2068 and is looking at the new QL which Sinclair has announced for Great Britain.
- WB3AIT — Ed has a ZX-81 built from a kit and 16K of RAM. He says the NU4V cwss system is a delight to use. His next favorite program is the DXCC one by W3ZQN. The ZX-81 is also used often for “salt mine” home work.
- K6MLZ — Glynn has a ZX 81 UHF kit with internal 16K RAM. He also has a T/S 2040 printer, Hunter board, and ByteBack modem. He has an EPROM burner too.
- WA4WYZ — Dave is going to use his ZX81 and printer strictly for Ham Radio since the family received a Commodore 64 for Christmas.
- W9BS — Jerry has a ZX81 converted for direct video. He has added a push-button reset switch, and a level meter and small speaker for loading ease.
- K2MI — Marty got a filesixty Keyboard for Christmas and likes it. He also still has a few back issue sets of the old QZX.
- KA8RNY — Bill has been having some trouble getting his copies of Timex Sinclair User magazine (not the same as TS User).
- VE1BRA — Murray is using the NU4V RTTY program with the MFJ-1224 tuning unit and says that it seems to work very well through the QRM.
