[SixClub] Interesting YAESU FTV-650b Transverter Info

[Chris Boone]

He has a few things wrong...the FT690B????? Never saw that model....the
FT690RI was 2.5 watts out and has all modes except AM..the RII was redone
with 10watts thanks to a snap on PA and they took away LSB for AM......(an
easy mod for the RI....just unbalance the Bal Modulator with 5V and you get
SSB with carrier...not quite full AM but it worked)

The TS680 is not smaller than a TS600 (which was the size of the
TS700)....and it did NOT have two outputs...it has one (I have had a 680
since the late 80s; bought it new for $1000 with the optional CW
filter...1st contact on 20 was a Czechoslovakia  station!)

AND a TR9300????? AHHH iirc that's a 2m or UHF all mode rig!!!

He forgot the IC-560 all mode mobile...THAT was a good rig in the late
70s/early 80s.....
