Hi All, I have been off Blind Hams since early December and off email from December to June. I guess to keep this radio oriented, I can say that I have a reasonably new radio. I purchased it the end of November. I have the Kenwood 2000. Perhaps I will eventually learn how to use it. There is plenty of bells and whistles on it. 73 PS Thanks to Ken Scott and Ann West K1STM that got me back on the list. Walt and GEB dog Opus WA4QXT New London CT mailto: [log in to unmask]
