[ETO_Alpha] 87A problem

Sun, 19 Jan 2003 20:57:53 -0800

Is the 87A that is having the problem being used in full break-in all
the time? I wondered about the life of those PIN diodes in that kind of
use, so I normally use my Ten-Tec Omni VI+/Alpha 87A with a footswitch
for transmit control, unless I'm in one of those big pileups that
require full QSK.
