Dave already answered that however I should add that the only answer I ever
got from equipment was "RTFM!"  Of course, not having a manual does tend to
become an issue I would suppose.

And when is it going to be on the air, hmmm?  Presuming I can get one
running, consider the possibility of a GF-11/RU-16 to GF-11/RU-16 QSO.  :-)

It is and I would greatly appreciate it.  I can cover shipping, no huhu.

Well, since I doubt anyone's going to donate any (let alone a mate to my
UX-210), that's one hairy bullet I have to bite.  This with buying the
equipment etc needed to fix the truck and what I still need to buy for the
Noelle AV Project is putting a heck of a strain on my budget.

Offset by the fact that they're harder to find.  :-)
