OK re. the SB-104A.  May have to watch for an affordable
one that is essentially intact but perhaps in need of work
from which I may learn more!

Please permit me to have yet another rumor dispelled.

Is the HW-5400 the rig that is essentially the
same as a Yaesu rig of the same vintage?

Does it use a CPU that is now unobtanium?

Or am I thinking of the wrong Heath rig?

Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e
