[GreenKeys] Model 28 parts and database query

[WA5CAB--- via GreenKeys]

Adobe Acrobat (at least the later versions) does OCR moderately well.  
Depends a lot on how the original was scanned and how clean the scan was.  Does 
best with cleaned up monochrome.  Poorly with truecolor.  Gray scale fairly 
well if the original pages weren't yellowed, but the error rate is usually 
higher than with B&W..  Morel is to always scan text as text (not as 
photographs).  And alway turn on grass cutter (AKA background suppression).
