[Azden] PCS-2800 10-Meter Rig

[Doug Fitts W7FDF]

Hey Chris:

Super info on the display not changing. As to the freq 
counter.....haven't found the one I have [still packed up from our 
moving to this new house] so perhaps this coming weekend I can get it, 
do a tx mode with the radio and see what the freq counter display say's. 
As for remotebase ops....indeed this rig would make for a classic 
straight through radio for that purpose and you know what Chris?

I have a second PCS-2800 radio and in time it will be used specifically 
for that purpose, tied in with my 900 mhz repeater system.
Many thanks for your fast response on this issue. I just joined the 
Azden list earlier this afternoon [I am on a two day mini vacation today 
and Tuesday] and as I was testing the Azden rig, stumbled upon this 
display problem.

Have a great day week Chris......best 73!
