Hi Alan:

Hope your well and can't wait to meet ya on 40 again.
I gotta question about your steppir, how do you change bands? Do you use
the ham pod or have the control board that allows your TS-990 command
things?
What if 1 is totally blind as I am and just get the manual basic
controller? If I do invest in the DB-18 in 2016, this is the controller
I'll be getting, the standard one. I don't know how big this controller is
and if it has a keypad of sorts and you just enter the frequency and the
elements expand or contract depending on band.
