Hello
I believe John has been playing with a ts530.  I don't think there is any 
speech but is their a crystal calibrator?  If so is it 25kc, 100kc or both?
I was talking with folks at the nearest radio club and other than some yaesu 
stuff the ts530 is their only radio that looks usable.  They may be getting 
some old collins which would truly be fun to play with.
We had a kwm2 and amplifier at the New York State school for the blind. 
Unfortunately, it was only used by the piano tuning teacher who apparently 
got the class started and found time for a qso or two.
