If the owner is a Ham He better not be transmitting at the bottom of the
CW section of the 2 Meter Band.
Before my TR-9130 went Belly Up I made a CW QSO or Two with it, and used
it for SSB too.
One time when I was driving through Tennessee I had a SSB QSO with that rig.
It was a nice XCVR but it started changing the Frequency I was Listening at
or Talking on to 144.000 Mc/s so I sent it away to be fixed.
I wish it could had been repaired, I told the Serviceman to keep it,
He said that He would put it in His JUNQUE Pile.
