[Kenwood] re use of 10 meters on TL-922A

[takenchan at aol.com]

Help or do not help, your choice, the self righteous lectures are counter-productive. The 10 meter "block" was a change from the original amp (TL-922) to satisfy FCC type acceptance at that time to market the amp in the U.S.A.. This restriction has been removed, therefore the "helpful" arguement is moot. Most new HF amps now marketed in the U.S.A.  are open on 10 Meters. I can't believe I am even bothering to prolong this.

A couple of weeks ago I responded to a nearly identical post by Fern. I 
aid that it seemed like the 10 Meter disable was performing it's 
ntended function, also based on the lack a callsign in Fern's post. 
ern, perhaps you might take the hint, and include your callsign in your 
nitial postings, particularly when you are asking for information that 
s often requested by non-hams who want to use ham amplifiers for 
on-ham purposes.

 I thought that this topic was over but somehow it's still hanging in there.  
or one thing, I have been a licensed ham since 1959 and my friend who wanted 
hat info is also a licensed ham. He was not able to find the info and since 
've not owned one of those amps, I did not have the answer either. My comment 
ere is that we should not be so judgemental and assume that the info is wanted 
y a non ham.
