 Hi list, just wanted to give you a foblow up about the Vgs-1
 chip.  I got a new one from HRO yesterday, installed it and the
 rig started talking again.  Now I think I will take the old 
chip,
 dip it some salsa and eat it.  No, on second thought if I did
 that, I may stop talking just like it did! Sorry to Bob who I
 sent a similar message to last night thinking it would go to the
 list.  I plan to call Kenwood and ask them there thoughts about
 why a chip would just quit after working fine for more than two
 years.  Jim WA6EKS
