[CW] WBL V22L

[Paul, N6EV]

Mike,
Interesting info regarding the WBL V22L.  I've never heard about that 
feature being an option before.  Stan must have started offering that 
feature as an option sometime after production started.  I remember 
that being one of the selling points early on.

I have two V22's (both non-L) here that I originally ordered from 
Stan.   S/N 009 built in 1997 which has the set screw present, and 
S/N 074 built in 1998 which does not have the set screw.  Until you 
posted about the feature, I never noticed that later of the two has 
it missing.  I assumed when I ordered it that it would be included 
like the first one.

You're right though.. Stan put out some revolutionary designs and 
features way back then.
