I \ncould work RS-10/11, RS-12/13, and RS-15 in modes A, K, and T, as well as HF, \nand had less than $600 invested in the whole station.\n\nOver the weekend I will be posting for sale a bit of ham radio history that will \nenable someone to uplink to AO-7 and FO-29 on the cheap... a KLM Echo 70. \nWatch for more details!!!\n\nGeorge, KA3HSW\n\n\n\n\n----- Original Message ----\n> From: k6yk <[email protected]>\n> To: [email protected]\n> Cc: [email protected]\n> Sent: Fri, February 4, 2011 11:33:46 AM\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Linear Xpndr Operating Economics.\n> \n> Boy, that sounds familiar ! \n> My first Oscar station was a Regency HR-2B FM rig \n> with ONE crystal in the middle of the uplink band on 2 meters,\n> keying the high-low power switch.
