i got my first Gonset in 1955 and was on145.35 MHz. i know guys who worked at 
Gonset
in Burbank and i talked to Foss (Faust Gonsett),  W6VR, when i lived in the 
San Fernando Valley. His son now has his call.

Good turn out tonight for the Gonset Net.
KG0SS has lost his Gonset Communicator 2 case and also needs an 8075 kHz 
crystal.
You can get a Gonset Communicator on eBay for less than $50.
i added a cavity to my Gonset to eliminate the Aircraft Band images.
Have you noticed there are no ARRL specifically assigned frequencies for 2 
Meter AM...
   If you have a Gonset Net in your area please let us know.
