    Possibly, or was that FDK? There were a lot of these about in the late
    70s and early 80s but then there were a lot of dealers and I can't
    remember who sold what and when.

    Good Man.
    The spec reads better than the big manufacturers and they managed to get
    a good number of "double quotes" in the description.

    That's a smart-looking rig.

    Well-presented from the outside, I'm curious to see what the inside
    build quality is like, or if the screening covers and any other tin
    plate has gone rusty yet...


    "The PA is impervious to breakdowns under infinite VSWR."

    Do you think it has some "reverse power protection" or that the device
    itself is "very rugged"? Either way I'll wager the device is unobtanium.


    Now waiting for Jim to test that theory.

    He won't get that far, the 2.5kHz peak deviation police will get him first.

    That's a smart-looking rig.

    Well-presented from the outside, I'm curious to see what the inside
    build quality is like, or if the screening covers and any other tin
    plate has gone rusty yet...


    "The PA is impervious to breakdowns under infinite VSWR."

    Do you think it has some "reverse power protection" or that the device
    itself is "very rugged"? Either way I'll wager the device is unobtanium.


    Now waiting for Jim to test that theory.

    He won't get that far, the 2.5kHz peak deviation police will get him first.

    I don't see the point of having the 12.5 Kc/s steps ......

    Bamff and Aberdeen ...tee hee
    sorry Banff

    Good Man.
    The spec reads better than the big manufacturers and they managed to get
    a good number of "double quotes" in the description.

    I think I like it better than my three Trio TR7500's

    That's about �900 today. Single band FM. I suppose in those days there
