Comment on My Very First Computer by Domingos

Domingos — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 06:40:52 +0000

Hello!

My first computer was precisely a Compaq Presario 4550 in the same configuration as yours! I bought it in 1998, which was the time the 4550 was released.

At first I didn’t do much with it either, but after some time I started using the internet and playing games with it (it was a very nice set then and could run many fun games easily). My favorite one was MotoRacer, that came with it.

Along with this I miss the JBL speakers it came with. They were excellent even for today standards. But I never used its USB ports. Back then there was nothing that used USB, which seems totally strange today where everything uses USB!

I had it until about 2004, when I decided to sell it and I regret it. As my very first computer and a nice one I should have kept it for history sake and for running old applications.

It was still working ok, though since new it was always quite unstable and crashy. Was it your situation as well?

I also tried to upgrade it around 2000 when I wanted to install a Voodoo graphics card to be able to play newer games but I wasn’t able. As you said it was not easy to upgrade it. Nowadays I was reading about the 4550 and it seems that this model was almost maxed-out from factory, so there is the explanation for this.

It was nice reading your post and seeing this nice picture of the Presario! Feel free to get in touch by my mail address if you want to talk more about it!

I did the modification and I only transmit on Ham frequencies–144, 222, 440. Does anybody have a solution for this. Are there separate models of the VX-6R where this mod just doesn’t work. I need the full range–137-174– for work so my radio is useless until this gets fixed.

Just to note my default (stock) transmit deviation and PL tone deviation.

Transmit Deviation (dEU) = 71 (stock)
PL Tone Deviation (100) = 95 (stock)

Has anyone optimized these settings for the 144 MHz band?
