If operating is so trivially simple why couldn't you tune the PA in the
radio you bought? Even CBers can do that.

Do you need to trade silly (and, yes, typically junior school stuff)
abuse rehearsed from interminable local arguments all over the Internet?
Why not keep this childish repetitive stuff for ukra where it "belongs"?
You *are* an adult, aren't you? Gareth's silly comments are quite
obviously silly comments without you clutttering the place up arguing
with him about it. If you think his comments about operating being too
easy and of no interest are inaccurate, why not say so, at least it will
soon be obvious he is in a minority of one? I for instance have very
little interest in operating but agree that it is an essential and
worthy part of the hobby (and not so easy as Gareth thinks) so why not
stick to the actual issue when discussing it internationally and outside
of the AR groups?
