Thanks for the very few senisble recommendations. I'll look those models up
and have a think.

Funny though, I posted this to 3 ham groups. UK, Australia and the global
(ie USA) groups.
Global got two sensible replies. Aus got a sensible discussion started. And
UK started a lengthy thread trashing CBers and foundation license holders.

Does every thread have to do this? Do UK hams always have to project a
global image of being a bunch of bicker pedantic ******s?

Just a thought. Carry on.


Yes, Jack. Absolutely EVERY thread started in uk.radio.amateur, after
only two or three 'overs', degenerates into trashing CBers and all those
whose are deemed never to taken the 'proper' Radio Amateurs' Examination
(not just those with Foundation Licences). It's all really a bit sad.
Ian.
