The ts430 has 8 memory channels.  Set each one up for a known frequency
on the bands and use them as markers.  Each turn of the tuning knob is
about 11 KHz.  I think memory 6 and 7 are paired so you can set one for
an upper limit and the other for a lower one and than scan between each.


I typically leave the Novice band 28.3 to 28.5   set in 6 and 7 and 29.6
fm in memory 8.  

With these simple steps I am still very happy with my 430 after more
than 20 years of operation.  There have been articles for speech and cw
readouts for this rig in older QST magazines and I think you could get
one of the little cw frequency counters to use as a secondary frequency
measurement source with good success.  Enjoy the hobby and talk to you
later.

Subject: Equipment And study material.

   Hi list.
I got my Tech license in 2001.
My call sign is KB3GOS.
I've been lurking on this list soaking up helpful information since
2002.
My first question is does anybody know of any free online study material
for the general class license?
Not just the question and answer pools, I would like something that
explains theory and what ever else I need to know.
My second question.
A friend who's father is a silent key gave me A Kenwood TS430S wit
matching power supply, I think it is the PS440,  a Kenwood AT-250
autotuner, AKenwood TS-50 with AT50 autotuner, A Astron 35 amp power
supply, and A Heathkit SB220 amplifier.
I know that i cant use the Heathkit until I upgrade my license, but I
would like to know if this equipment is useable by a blind person and if
so how?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
