I'm getting nostalgic for the FM rig with volume, squelch and knob for 12 channels 
Only had 7 pairs of crystals.

Mark

Richard,

The rig  only has about 50 buttons on the front panel, and God gave you 10 fingers, so that comes out to 5 buttons per finger.  Of  course most of the buttons have more than one function, so perhaps that's why God gave you 10 toes as well.

Really, it's not hard to figure out and you can get a lot of good help from this list, as  a number here either have, or have had one.  It may or  may not be the radio for you, but don't let any fear of complexity scare you away from it.

73, Steve KW3A
