Thanks for all the info.

My iPad battery died

 Is there anyone Lakeside that can replace it. 

I just saw the other post on this subject.

Angus,

FYI, the SCT was the radio  licensing authority back in 2008. In my meeting with the Jeffe at the SCT office in Zapopan, where they have an all band radio monitoring station, I asked him if he had the authority to grant me a Mexican licence and XE1 call sign. He said he had the authority to grant me reciprocal (to the FCC Extra Class license) operating privileges while I was a FM 3 visa holder. I asked him for a letter of authorization to operate, and he said his verbal authorization was sufficient. I wanted him to issue me an XE1 call sign,  thats when he told me to use my FCC call sign portable XE.  A ham from Guad, XE1RM, was with me at the meeting and confirmed that the SCT official had the authority. Over a ten year period, I tried to get the Mexican government to issue me a paper license. No va! I finally took my radio antennas down and sold off my gear. BTW, I have been continually licensed since 1961 and hold the Amateur Extra Class and the commercial First Class license. I have also been licensed to operate and held call signs in Nigeria,Samoa, Tonga and Belize.

12 years ago a government official at the SCT in Guad told me to ".go on the air" and sign my call and /XE1. Lots has changed with the Mexican government and telecom law in the last five years, yet there appears no path for recepricol licensing with the Mexican ICT. I finally gave up on recepricol licensing and operating here in Jalisco. At one point I even joined the The Mexican ARRL (FMRE) and they were no help on recepricol  licensing.

Welcome to the new world order.. and the Jalisco Twilight Zone.

Talk to the pool man Carlos Taylor

He furnished and installed 20 of the Israeli made panels 13 years ago

I'll post the info on the on demand water heater on " for sale misc." On the web board

I get the same message trying to email you.

I have one for sale. Like new German water heater.

I want to cancel my land line service but the Telmex office in Ajijic is closed. Is there a Telmex office in Chapala?

Must be a system wide outage...

We have zero connectivity in Upper Chula Vista. First time that we've had a problem since installation 35 days ago.

Tested 100 Mbps this AM. Averaging 50 Mbps. Since installation 30 days ago. I’m very pleased with the service.

Where can I buy one?

I just signed up for the internet only service. $425/mnp per month. They quoted three to four month lead time to install. That’s like AT&T in the old private line days. You’d think Telmex would be all over this with 30 day install lead times and a competitive broadband service.

What’s the annual subscription fee for internet only.?

I’m looking for an experienced technician who has managed the installation of an ILOX Internet service connection and who can design a WLAN for my casa. 

I have a number of cracked floor tiles that I would like to replace. I’m looking for a maestro who can remove the cracked tiles and replace them. 

Speed back to around 2 mbps. 

Not great but bearable.

I have ATT, Telcel and Infinitum. All three are running slow to no service. I’ve had few problems with Telcel until yesterday and today.  Frustrating! Anybody else see their service failing?
