I remember that trip.  It did work very well.  I think I had an IC-230 at
the time and thought that thing was just the cat's meow with frequency
synthesis.  <GRIN>  Very 73 everyone.

did they not have a trimmer?  I do recall putting a ic22a  on frequency
while visiting LA in 1976 by setting up two rigs one synthesize and than
transmitting with the synthesize rig and the crystal rig while listening on
a third rig.  Than zero beeting the crystal rig at least netted the two.
Checking with a repeater  with a high low beep which let you know your input
frequency with reference to the repeater receiver was the frosting on the
cake.

Yep I remember those.  I had a friend who had one of the glbs on an hr2a. 
That was some radio in its day, very small.
Of course, had to buy crystals and no one had any good way to put them on
frequency.
