Ugh, that should be "staring" not "starting." And I forgot
to make the comment that in those days, the S meter may
have been more important. I was listening to SW broadcasters
in AM mode, and had to use a control on the front of the radio
called the ANTENNA TRIMMER, which some of you may remember.
When you QSYed a fair amount, or switched bands, you always
re-peaked the trimmer.=20
We've come a long way since the HRO, but I wouldn't turn
down push-pull 6V6 audio for the K2. hi
