[GreenKeys] ST-6's in this day and time (also old enough to remember all those tobacco ads)

[Ethan Blanton]

Sorry, I'm woefully behind on Greenkeys; I read it sporadically, but
I'm teaching at a University and the semester is always rough -- and
we just went to online, which has caused a further bobble in my
schedule.  Nick pinged me, though, so I came back to find this.  :-)

That's me!  I'm glad you enjoyed it; I have plans for a couple more
videos with the ST-6, one figuring out what's wrong with the motor
control circuit (if anything) and one comparing its operation and
performance with and without the limiter engaged.  However, I have too
many projects on the shelf!  I haven't been back to the ST-6 for about
a year or so.

I could also do a video of one on the air, I do have a video decoding
RTTY off the air using a 5000.

The trouble with using my video to figure out where the boards should
be placed (as a previous poster asked about) is that they _are_ kits;
there's no guarantee that my chassis is quite exactly what another is.
You'd need to at _least_ verify the card edge orientation and position
with a multimeter and the original schematic (which is what I did to
make sure my chassis, which ahd been marked by some previous owner,
was marked correctly).
