[OKDXA] RE: Good $500 rig??

[Coy Day]

John,

I agree with bob.  930's are still good HF rigs.  We used one on Palau and
it was a work horse.  If I remember right they had an issue with keying
linears but don't remember for sure.  I think they needed an external
relay circuit or something.  Maybe Bob can clear that up.
