I'll never forget the first two meter handheld rig I ever owned. It was an
old Motorola single channel pencil tube rig that you carried over the
shoulder and weighed about 8 pounds. You could receive for about 2 hours,
if I remember right, and you could transmit for just a few minutes. I think
it ran 1 watt. I guess I'm showing my age! HI HI
