    I don't think the list takes attachments. Looking at the list 
folder in my computer I don't see any attachments. I am not sure 
but I think Mailman may not take attachments on any of its lists.

>>      Nick is correct of course, but as TMC master oscillators are concerned, besides the VOX series, you can also use a PMO if you need only one output. Another advice: the older SBE-2 is a pain in the neck, but the SBE-3 (and up) is much better and if needs to be, easier to align.
>>      Here is my multi-mode 350 W TMC system I put together; I had enough space in the rack to mount the GPR-90RXD receiver in it as well, and a homebrew dual speaker panel, for single rack integrated station. I have a PMO in there, because the VOX I have needs some work, but I'll keep the PMO in the system.
