[Heathkit] Re Age Of HW-202

[Joe Crawford]

It only covered 146-148. The 144-145 repeater subband didn't come into being 
until the late '70's.The only reason the Japanese rigs covered the who;e 
abnd is because 144.5-146 was the FM portion of 2m in Japan.Seems like the 
2036 just covered the 146-147 part of 2m also. Did anyone get hold of the 
2026, which had more spurs than a Western posse?
