TNX for the responses.

First, it seems there is another Bob, so I will RE as Robert M. WP4YJ/1

Ok on the Mac Ratt. Just wanted to know what was the last version the company who created it got to.
I have spoken with Timewave, and there response is send in the old one, and pay a bundle of money for a new unit. Their prices are out of my reach. The most I do with the unit is PACKET. Currently I am quarantineded as an apartment dueler with kids, so no HF antennas around here


73 to all
