[SOC] Done with it.

[peteclough at aol.com]

My most recient radio purchase didnt have a Starter switch, but I found a floor mounted STC switch.
Oh that is an acronym for  (Stomp To Cuss) .. When it is engagued all transmitted audio is disabled. HA..

Which of course begs the question; Can SOC be dumbed down any further... ?
Me thinks it can and further that we should try hard to do so... which I
ill help do as soon as I figure out how to turn on my radio. (I keep buying
ew ones looking for the start switch.........)

 how confusing the site may be. That's the way I did it and everyone else
 should have to do it the same way.  Well, I must confess I did need some
 help from one or two of the SOC head honchos who finally gave up trying to
 explain how to do it in a long series of private email messages. They were
 the ones who kindly put me on the roster manually instead of my use of the
 website procedure.

 Let's not get all politically correct and try to dumb down SOC.  We've
 already had enough of that in ham radio.
