I have been told that (for some goofball reason) I'm not allowed to say exactly which networks, but it isn't anything that would be particularly hard to guess if anyone cared to give it a few minutes of thought. :-) Skip the receiver and get a KWM-2. Receive performance is not as good as the R-390, but it will work fine out of band (they used to be the standard State Department issue rigs at foreign embassies) and they are a lot easier to work on. Also, it's a lot more convenient to use. Yes, it is, but it has a point contact diode balanced modulator/demodulator. EMP would kill one in a heartbeat. -Chuck |
