here is my devious mind at work: everyone from the list throw one dollar in to the Fund for Accessible Amateur Radio Transceivers. Lets just call it FAART. I will buy two of these units with said funds, and if my research and tests prove that they are at least as accessible as the uv5r or wouxun HT's, I will hold a contest and give both radios away to the winners of these contests. If I find they are not accessible or are vaguely accessible, I shall resell them both and refund all donations to the FAART hi hi. If you wish to support FAART, simply let me know and I will pass... the information along to you. As I said, devious... 73 Colin, V A6BKX -------------------------------------------------- From: "Pat Byrne" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 6:00 PM To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: TDX1 Hand-Held > We should pool our pennies and get one and make Tom be the designated > driver! > Pat, K9JAUAt 06:52 PM 10/23/2013, you wrote: >>Nah, sorry! >> >>I have a few HT's already, and one or two larger ham radio-related >>purchases >>I'm currently considering, so will have to sit this one out for a while. >> >>But, maybe if someone gives us a report that shows this HT really shines >>with regard to low price and great accessibility, I'll have to >>re-consider. >>(grin) >> >>Tom Behler: KB8TYJ >> >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Colin McDonald" <[log in to unmask]> >>To: <[log in to unmask]> >>Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 6:50 PM >>Subject: Re: TDX1 Hand-Held >> >> >> > you mean your not willing to be the list guinnipig Tom? lol >> > >> > 73 >> > Colin, V A6BKX >> > -------------------------------------------------- >> > From: "Tom Behler" <[log in to unmask]> >> > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 4:47 PM >> > To: <[log in to unmask]> >> > Subject: Re: TDX1 Hand-Held >> > >> >> If anyone gets one of these HT's, please tell us about your >> >> experience, >> >> and >> >> how you like it! >> >> >> >> Tom Behler: KB8TYJ >> >> >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> >> From: "Dave Marthouse" <[log in to unmask]> >> >> To: <[log in to unmask]> >> >> Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 5:31 PM >> >> Subject: TDX1 Hand-Held >> >> >> >> >> >>>I did some searching and found a us dealer for the TDX1.
