Hi; Just wondering if you sold yours or are still hanging on to it?

The receiver is not as selective. And, the transmit audio is terrible. The transmit audio doesn't have that Kenwood footprint. I tried using the Kenwood software and HRD software to open up the transmit audio and, it just didn't work. I tried an mc60A and that microphone is just not compatible with that radio. It created some kind of ground problem. And, a lot of people, including myself may think that having just the head on the desk is a good thing. However, if you forget where you put it, its very easy to knock it over. I wish I could be more encouraging. 73 De Anthony W2AJV [log in to unmask] ECHOLINK NODE NUMBER: 74389 ----- Original Message ----- From: "T Behler" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 8:19 PM Subject: Re: TS480 general info needed > Anthony: > > I'm thinking of selling my Ic718, which includes the speach chip, a 400-hz > Inrad CW filter, and the DSP module.
