While my ARA/ATA rig is still a long way from being ready for prime time
(All I have is the modulator & mount and one each 80 & 40m Tx.), I do have a
less than Grade AAA SCR-274-N rig to assemble as a running system.  That
with an external antenna tuner will make a nice CX rig if nothing else once
I can get it assembled and lit up.  The ARA/ATA and RU/GF are for show 'n
tell (among other things) so have to be right.  The SCR-274-N doesn't have
to be quite so "right".

Yeah, yeah ... everyone has a T-19 except me.  *grumble*  ;-)

No worries.  I'm still looking at machining replacements for the mount
connectors so I can remanufacture a slightly less than wonderful FT-226 as
an MT-71.  That aughta be entertaining.

Oh, boy.  Ummm ... this would probably be better answered off list.  Suffice
it to say there are still problems.
