[HBR] HBR from Heath HR10B Question

[Steve]

Thanks Lee

I have received Walts email and of course that made my mind up quickly.  
Its a HR10 for me.

You are not the only one who got involved with the HT40 and the SX140 
early on.  My HS radio club had that pair and I
could never make them work right, never made one contact on them!!!

Oh well, I persevered and used my T-150 and HQ170, quite a nice novice 
set up at the time.
