   Talk-In

   from out of the area to the exact location of the event.   
      
   TCXO   
   Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator. Heated crystal oscillator

   Technician   
   The current entry level of U.S. Amateur Radio license, it allows all   
   amateur radio privilges above 50 Mhz, plus limited CW privileges on

   from 28.0 to 28.3 Mhz...and SSB Phone from 28.3 to 28.5 Mhz on 10 meters.   
   Technician Class licensees also can use the VoIP (Voice Over Internet   
   Protocol) modes of Echolink (www.echolink.org) and IRLP (www.irlp.net).   
      
   Technician Plus   
   "Technician Plus" licensees were originally Technician Class licensees   
   who had passed the 5 words per minute Morse Code exam requirement.   
   However, as of Feb. 23, 2007, the Morse Code exam requirement was removed,   
   with "Technician Plus" licensees now having the same privileges as   
   Technician Class licensees. This term is no longer used as an official   
   class of U.S. amateur radio license. See also "Technician".   
      
   Telecommand   
   A one-way transmission to initiate, modify, or terminate functions of a   
   device at a distance.   
       
   Telecommand station   
   An amateur station that transmits communications to initiate, modify, or   
   terminate functions of a space station.   
       
   Telemetry   
   A one-way transmission of measurements at a distance from the measuring   
   instrument.   
      
   Terminal Node Controller   
      
   1. A "modem" for amateur radio, which is used for "packet" and "APRS".   
   Also known as a TNC.   
      
   2. A type of antenna connector.   
      
   Third-party communications   
   A message from the control operator (first party) of an amateur station to   
   another amateur station control operator (second party) on behalf of   
   another person (third party).   
      
   Third party traffic   
   Where someone who is not currently an amateur radio licensee, may operate,   
   under the supervision of an amateur radio licensee. The amateur radio   
   licensee must immediately terminate communications, should a FCC rules   
   violation occur. Prior amateur radio service licensees whose licenses   
   have been suspended, revoked, surrendered for cancellation, or are the   
   subject of a "cease and desist" order may NOT operate as "third party   
   traffic".

   Time limiting function for continued repeater, or other operations.   
   By FCC Rules, most repeaters will "shut down" after 3 minutes of   
   continuous transmit, to avoid burning out the components in the   
   repeater. Continuous usage may also prevent a station with a   
   legitimate emergency situation from transmitting their distress call.
