[GreenKeys] Fwd: Re: slightly off topic

[Bruce Gentry]

The GRC-27, ARC-27, PRC-41, and GRA-53 all will work down to 220 mc 
unmodified, although sensitivety and power output  decrease. They can be 
regained by  adjusting the trimmer condensors, but performance at the 
upper  frequencies of no use to hams will be seriously degraded.  It is 
a viable rig for ham use, and unless the regulations have changed, it 
would be great for  AFSK Teletype.
