[1000mp] FH-1 Remote Control Keypad

[1000mp@mailman.qth.net]

I use the FH-1 for a couple of years now. And I only use the 'TUNE'. With
this option very fast tuning (without additional switching) is possible in
all modes.

Last PACC-Contest in February 2003 I used some of the memories of the FH-1,
but I had a lot of troubles with it. During operation the memories changed
between CH1, 2, 3 and 4. This was very, very annoying! Therefore I bought
the ETM9COG-X3, which is an excellent Memory Keyer!!
