your own posting to advertise this SS, modern receiver on the

It's the kind of receiver boatanchor guys like to have around
when they are not up to hauling the vacuum-tube beasties out
on a picnic but want to listen-in to the nightly cacophony on
80 meters??

Jim, I interpret your comments as seeing what I was trying to do...just
share that this would be a nice little receiver with serious
enough capability for a range of capability including "reading the mail"
on ham bands. If I were to guess what is bothering Richie, it is that some
newsreaders and news handling services handle some posts based on internal
ID numbers rather than subject lines and other ISP services handle these
the other way around. I have no idea why people get bent out of shape so
much if something shows up in their thread that makes no sense because
their service holds a post in a thread even though the subject line
changes.

I am still tickled to pieces with my G5. Almost fee like a kid, again,
with a precious new toy.
