[GreenKeys] Terminal Units

[Don and Diana Cunningham]

Well, I thought I was bad, but I think Jack might have topped me, hi hi.  I 
started with a Twin Cities TU, open on the bench with a 28 ASR.  My first 
contact, honestly, was Irv Hoff, W6FFC, designer of the ST series TU's!!  He 
said I had so much RF on my signal that only his ST-6 could have copied me, 
hi hi!!  I put it in a case later, and solved that.  I bought several of the 
"Pemco" boards for ST-5's and ST-5A's and built them for Navy Mars members 
in the early 70's.  Fine units, especially with some outboard filtering. 
Then I built the DT-600 when boards came out for it, and was RUINED!  Worked 
like a dream.  I went through some of the early Radio Shack computer stuff, 
like the Bit Byter built for the Model I  and one other I just can't 
remember.  I had several TU-170's and I also built many of the XR series 
chip TU's for VHF use in the Mid to late 70's, early 80's, then found a Hal 
ST-6000 at a hamfest that didn't work.  Worked on that on and off for a year 
and got it going, and have used Hal stuff nearly ever since.  Current TU's:

ST-6000 (3 of them, one is a "new" commercial low tone unit I bought new in 
2004 from Hal as a retirement present for myself, hi)
ST-5000
ST-8000 (still in repair)
DT-600
CP-1
ST-6 (several, even two in "partial build" stages.  I plan to strip the 
boards and re-build them) (I also have a new XTK-100 crystal controlled 
keyer for one).
UTU (Kantronics)
Theta 777 (Tono)
Drake Theta 9000E (suspect that's a Tono also!)
PK-232's (several)
Hal P-38
Hal PCI-3000 (2 each)
Hal PCI-4000
Probably forgot some, but that's the bulk.  Better quit, the wife might be 
looking!!!  HI HI  I would like to find a good Dovetron again "reasonably" 
priced.  I traded my good one for a PK-232 years ago, and have always 
regretted it.  I got one of the "big bird" ones, but wasn't happy with it 
and let it go to another Greenkeys member.  Maybe I'll find a "loaded" one 
again.

P.S. I see a LOT of ham calls there, maybe time for some of us to meet on 
20m???
