Hi.
I guess that the next time I go to New Jersey, I should take the Standard
C228 and give a yell on one of those silent 220 MHz repeaters.
By the way, if you ever get the chance to pick one of the Standard C228A or
C528A radios up used, they were great radios for the blind operator--fairly
easy to use, and they had a great receiver on them. I used to program
those radios without looking at them even before I lost my vision.
