Sure sounds like RF was getting in to it, to me! G.W.

Raymond-

I had the HR-2A back in the 70s. It was one of the early solid-state Two
Meter
rigs. I don't think I have the exact information you need, but thought I
would
pass along some recollections.



I spent a LOT of hours working on the HR-2A (and HR-6). If you have any
specific questions, I might be able to recall something that would help.

Thanks Fred! Sure appreciate the info. Tried an impromptu test here
the other night, seems that every time I the rig tried to connect to
my test rig (laptop with baycom modem), it would trigger a restart on
the TNC. Hmmm, think maybe the fact that my test antenna was a 1/4
wave vertical stuck to the back of the HR-2A with the TNC right on top
of the radio had much to do with it? Tonight I try plugging one of
the outdoor antennas into the Regency!
