Well, since we are talking about what we would like to have, I would like a
ham radio that works just like aC B radio.  Yes, I have the technician and
the general license but I don't know what I am doing or what the hell I am
talking about.  I just want to turn a knob, listen, and if I have something
to say, talk.
