Hi Roger,

Yes, we've been watching Jericho too, and saw the second episode.  Looked 
like an FT-101F, a Gonset Communicator and a Gonset 2m or 6m Amplifier. I 
remember the Gonsets from my 50's and early sixties CD activities, and 
still have a couple of 'em.  The rest of the CD setup was a Viking II / 
HQ-129X combo.  The FT-101F is late 70's, maybe early 80's 
vintage.  Interesting show for us concerned "survival" folks.

Congrats on your demo.  I'll be starting on the BC-191/375 setup this winter.
