Do they still run 16? hehe I haven't heard anybody there in years. It's all on 38 LSB. |

If 38 lsb is quiet, it's a good time for talking ground wave 70 mile stuff, which is fun too. You're right with the 38, forget the freeband except for once in a while. |

I can hit Balitomore on GW on LSB. That is like 90 miles ! Vinnie S. |

I'm patiently waiting for the Uncle to conform to WRC-03, especially the part about dropping the code. I'll be a general at the next test session, calling CQ on 10 meters later that day. It's nice to have other bands to work when one is dead or too noisy. You can't have too many radios going at the same time! I'll be on 2 meters with my 440 and CB going, along with my scanner. I also like to tune in my local cab company. They bitch and yell and cuss about calls! Since they're right up the street, I'll tune the base on my scanner and the mobiles on my very sensitive 2 meter ICOM. It's a blast during rush hour. It's a split system and they always talk at the same time, so dispatch doesn't hear the cab talking and then there's silence until one repeats their message. The dumb cabbies think it's like a full duplex cell phone!!! |

It be a nice rig, I'd put a vfo on the bitch and it will go anywhere It may have an 858 chip. Either way, those old chips expand easily. I wouldn't expect it to be very broadband, but you'd be able to cover all 40. But then you'd have a hacked radio, either way. |

I believe it has a 02A chip which is easily modified with a switch. Only
issue is the age of the rig and if any of the crystals have degraded. "Scott in Baltimore" wrote in message ... Who the hell wants a 23 channel sideband unit?
