No, don't have the 348 anymore. however, the BC-543 is connected to the 
IF of
a Hammarlund HQ-110. (I'd recreated my original Novice station.) Which also
explains why I have a DX-20 and VF-1.

Living in Torrance (south of Los Angeles) I remember the repeater wars 
on .94
with threats of lynching and other assorted equipment and personal mayhem.

Joe will appreciate this, I'd written a program in Basic to use my C-64 as a
RTTY Terminal. And yeah, to the other posters, 1541 DOES ring a bell.
