Hi,

I hope to not be excommunicated.

I don't have one of those radios. I don't recall even seeing one in person.

Some of the radios with wide system passbands and/or fast tuning rate 
can be 'tamed' with computer sound card DSP and computer sound card SDR 
software. No mods are required in the radio, not even 'easily reversed' 
mods. None. Zero. No mods are required to the computer or sound card. 
Not even 'easily reversed' mods. Zero. None. The SDR software will take 
care of the wide passband and to some extent the tuning rate. The SDR 
software does a nice job with both.

Forgive me my friends for I know I have sinned.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers reading this and to all the 
men's mothers and the mothers of their children:)

73,

Bill  KU8H
