THat's not a 02at, that's a 2at.  Have one of those and a 02at as
well.  tHe 2at has thumbwheel switches for frequency control.  the 02,
note the difference here, as in zero two, has memories and subaudible
tone capabilities.

Have to see if I can take two battery packs apart, one I've rebuilt
with nicads, the big pack has good rails however where the one we
rebuilt has problems with the little battery rails on the top.
THey're my xyl's radios.

I like the 2at as a loaner when going out for emergency deployment
etc.  IF you don't need tone etc. it's a great rig for that purpose,
easy to set up and operate <g> THe zero two's not bad either, but I"ve
found both rigs to be good.

STIll I might be interested in the zero two as another spare
as well if the price is
right.
