Hi Guys,
I am not sure if I heard of the TR 22.
The first experience on 2 meters was a borrowed Drake TR 1, I think. It was
crystal controlled, with six channels. It ran one watt. It could be used
portable, It was about the size of a mobile radio now. There was a
shoulder strap and a long antenna. It also had a SO239 connecter ands coax
could be used.
The next one I borrowed was a real hand held. It was the Kenwood TR 2500.
I used it a month in Albuquerque. I remember a four position slide on top
that gave you up, down, simplex and an odd offset. Then in September at the
Melbourne hamfest, I bought a TR 2600. I was sitting in the lobby admiring
my new purchase when I realized that I didn't know how the offsets, etc.
were fixed, no slide. A friend came by and he read that the offset or
simplex had to be programmed in. I don't think there was any provision for
any PL though.
