[Kenwood] recommendation regarding Kenwood TS 2000

[rbethman]

Gene and the List,

It has been, the shouting "thing", for decades.

The only place it was normal was with old teletype systems.

Once we got into internet, or even the original Darpanet, (The original 
Department of Defense Research rendition of what we have now.),  The 
computers had the ability to use upper *and* lower case.  The only 
exception was the real Apple ][+.

I'll add that the Korean clone of the Apple did add the ability to use 
lower case!  That was the first *PC* I ever owned, back in the early 
'80s.  Folks wouldn't believe it if they hadn't been around, but the 
Apple Modem at the time had two speeds.  They were 300 Baud and 110 Baud.

I'll probably get comments from old TELCO folks!

You cannot possibly insult me!  You certainly did not do so!  I'm only 
64, but am an old retired Soldier.  I have *very* thick skin!  Someone 
would have to get face to face with me while my wife is standing there 
and make very nasty comments.  The result would be parts all over the 
floor/ground/or other surface!

I've been married over 44 years now.  She does not deserve such! So far, 
I have only had the "eyeball" treatment throughout our marriage.  Let's 
just say that she was overly endowed in the upper section from Jr. High 
School, when we met and became sweethearts at all of 13, until around 
the '90s when she really need reduction surgery.

So relax, sit back and enjoy a bit of friendship My Friend!

I sincerely do mean that!

I rarely end up with enemies.  Personally, I'd normally use the entire 
word in lieu of "ah".  However, I don't want things to go ballistic.

The "List Police" would surely crawl all over it, and then this list 
would go through a period of implosion or explosion.

I simply am *not* PC!  I have a very abrasive personality!
