Hi
I have been reading the posts about the Kenwood 2000 and it has me
wondering. I have an Icom 228A I could really use some help with. I
couldn't find any thing on "I can work this thing.com". Any ideas on how to
get operating instructions in accessible format would be appreciated.
God bless,
Mark WZ0K
God loves you!
