Frank you are correct.....no point going on about it lets all work together and get some new birds in orbit,we dont just need fm but ssb as well and some heo's would be even better,sooner we get them the sooner we can enjoy this part of the hobby again....its just sad that  a 30+ year old bird is the main stay and we need to learn from it!  looing forward working a bird with more range than my back garden !so lets get on with it .   PAUL 2E1EUB
