Hello to all,
I am like those people who got out of the hobby for a while and am still trying to play catch up. When I thought of this I remember getting my second 2 meter   rig.  It was a Icom 2 a T  Before that I had a drake tr22c I think it was it was a crystal radio.  but I was so happy with the Icom because it  had three wheeles that you could tune in any repeater on 2 meters.  It all so had a phone pad so you could do auto patch.   That was before the days when every one had cell phones so being able to make a call from your radio was a cool thing.  I am sure there  are others on the list who remember those 2 A T's
