[Azden] PCS-2800 10-Meter Rig

[Chris Boone]

The display does not change...like the FT227R series...it merely changes the
xtal freq in the chain when going to xmit...same with +100 as well..It
always shows the rcvr freq on the display...have you checked it on a freq
counter?
I have used a PCS2800 for decades on rmt bases....interfaced well to a RC
850.....rcvr is great on sensitivity but no NB which can be a problem if the
site IS...
