And if you can't figure it out, contact your local ham radio
club. I'm sure there's someone there that can explain it.

P.S. If you're interested in a novel use of linux, take a look
at http://www.irlp.net/ (Internet Radio Linking Project).  They
use speakfreely on linux to connect ham radio repeaters.  I've
personally used it to talk from my house to people in Australia
on 2m (146 Mhz).  It's pretty cool. :-)

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
