I just use my Alinco dual band HT since my pro34
keyboard went kuh bluie! a few years ago. We bought a
clock radio for the kitchen with weather band on it,
but it doesn't pick up squat there. Tried in vain to
find an exposed screw I could put a wire on to see if
I could have an antenna. Radio was $9 if I remember
right. I first heard it on a t.v. radio back in the
early 80's, it had a.m fm vhf low t.v., vhf high t.v.
and a band that covered from 118 to 174 mhz. I later
upgraded to 1 that had 11 meters also. I also heard 2
meters on those radios too, I didn't know back then
that the reason I'd be listening to 1 qso, and another
would replace it, was that the darned radio used wide
band fm on that band. I found out later too that I was
slope detecting on the aircraft band.
