Hi Howie,

I don't want to sound a note of discouragement but I have been looking
for those frequencies at hamfests for years.  I've never seen the 40
meter ones, probably because novices never operated up at the high end
of 40, but also look for 3645 as you may have better luck finding that
and doubling it.

I finally found a 3885 rock two weeks ago at a radio swap meet.  It
was in a Viking 2 that was almost full of crystals.  I pulled it out
and asked the seller if he'd sell the crystals out of the rig.  I
eventually cajoled him into letting it go but I had to pay around 10
bucks for it.  I was willing to pay for a FT-243 on 3885.  But anyway,
I never put out a want on-line so you may be more successful.  I hope
so but I'd look for a VFO just in case.
