Hello to all,
I am like those people who got out of the hobby for a while and am still trying to play catch up. When I thought of this I remember getting my second 2 meter rig. It was a Icom 2 a T Before that I had a drake tr22c I think it was it was a crystal radio. but I was so happy with the Icom because it had three wheeles that you could tune in any repeater on 2 meters. It all so had a phone pad so you could do auto patch. That was before the days when every one had cell phones so being able to make a call from your radio was a cool thing. I am sure there are others on the list who remember those 2 A T's
