and to add insult to injory, it even had a setup for the accompanying 
linnier amplifier whereby enough current was delivered out the PA 
speaker jack to keep the relays open so people wouldn't know our man was 
running a power amplifier. he had it set up just nicely. the only thing 
you knew was when he was running at full power. 350 watts through a 
virtically polarised 4 element yagi directed straight at you, tends to 
make you sit  up and think.
anyways, we digress.
