[SixClub] FM simplex final picks

[Bob Royal]

I suppose that would also depend on how many repeaters out there are not 
incumbered by PL's. I might go that route once I do one up with the full 
32 ch. they are supposed to be able to do. For now this will get a few 
of us in the game quickly. (I hope) Gotta start somewhere and the eproms 
been shipped off today. I think one of the guys is planning on picking 
up one of those computer interfaces that replaces the eprom module and 
lets you put in anything you want from the keyboard along with PL's. I'd 
love to do that myself but the price is a bit out of reach for a no buck 
project on my end. Something to shoot for later though....

Thanks to all!
