ft221   ah yes I had wanted one of those but never had one.  As Mike has indicated as others the first 2m ht packset radio was the Drake tr22c.  This was the first new radio I had ever bought myself.  Great radio while in  college but I never thought of putting the rubber duck on the bottem as I had seen some others do later.  (great article in January qst on this one too!)  The KDK first one was an fm14410sxrII (whewww try that for memory joggers) and followed with a 2015r and the fm240.  I still would probably have that one had I not reversed the dc leads on it and fried most of the innards.  The TX and RX modules were ok along with the pa but never cold get that to work right again.  I really like the speech chip in that one and enjoyed listening to the  neighbors cordless phone on 140 (think it was a spur on their end).  



Thank You!
