Hi Lynn,

Thanks for the MFJ URL.  I took a quick look at the manual, and it sounds
like an interesting product.  I like the idea that the pins can be
reconfigured depending on what radio you have.  It's also nice to have a
headphone jack available even though I don't have to worry about disturbing
anyone in my present shack.
