There is a version of ka9q that has been "tuned" to the 3b1.
Information was posted some time ago on how to retrieve it by
anonymous UUCP (I've since lost the info)-:

In any case, this question and others about ka9q has been posted
several times by several people, but it seems that answers aren't
forthcoming.  It's unfortunate, because the package could possibly be
useful to some people (it obviously must be, since some people put the
effort into it, and are using it).  

What would it take to convince anyone who has successfully set up and 
used the package to post even the most basic information on 
configuration and usage?
