I have a Yaesu FT301D that I ordered the CW and AM filters for this
year, directly from Yaesu. They also stock the optional crystals that
were available. I'm positive that this radio is more than 10 years
old, and would guess that it is approaching 20 rapidly if it hasn't
already passed that milestone as well. I am now beginning to wonder
if I shouldn't sell my one piece of ICOM equipment and buy the Alinco
I've been mumbling about lately.:-)

	Yes, summer is approaching and the old "Can I use my new
walkie-talkie on the Plane" Question is being asked again.

	Stand by while the lawyers, alarmists and panic merchants tell
us all this is illegal, dangerous and generally anti-social. 

	Those of us who have done this and lived to tell the tale will
just read the usual rubbish with wry amusement.

	But can I use Morris from a plane even if the pilots licence no

Summary: Legendary ruggedness of the Motorola HT-200

Many years ago my Motorola HT-200 2m walkie fell out of my back pocket
while I was 75 feet up a tower.  It buried itself antenna-first in the
ground.  It was fine, except for the bent-up antenna, and it had only moved
off-channel about a Kc or so.

At a railway radio service shop, I saw a picture of an HT-200 that had
been in for repair - the guy wanted a new case to replace the one he'd
used to chock a railway car.  Radio was still working, even with the
deep groove in it.

At an electronics show in the early 70's, the Moto salesman was using
his HT-200 to drive nails into a block of wood.

Mine is still working, 20 years later.  No, it's not for sale.

Just a few minutes ago I worked ZS70SAN/ZS1ACJ on 28.017 CW.
He (Tony) said to "QSL VIA BURO/ZS1".  Since there is no
address for a ZS1 bureau in my 1991 callbook, should I just
send the card to the bureau listed for ZR-ZS?

Also, this station was identified as a special event station.
Does anyone know what the special event is?

My Motorola HT-220 suffered less dramatic abuse at my hands; falling
from the roof of my car (bouncing off the car on the way down) onto
the hard pavement coming to rest in a deep puddle of rainwater.

*Of course* it worked just fine afterwards.

That's the great thing about Motorola radios; you can use them as a
rather painful blunt instrument to defend yourself, if necessary.
Just use the rubber duckie as a handle, and give it a good swing...
Then you can call for an ambulance after you've disabled your
attacker.

>	- Brian

Interesting.. mine is still working just fine 10 years later, and its
not for sale, either.  On the other hand, I could probably be
convinced to let my Kenwood TR-2500 go.

I carry the Motorola HT-220 around in my briefcase every day.  The
Kenwood sits at home in its charger.  I carry the Motorola because I
know I can depend on it working if I need it, and the fact the the
plain, non-sexy radio has superb battery life.  I believe that it
consumes 4ma squelched.  I know that I'll have the HT-220 long after
the Kenwood radio is gone or replaced.

 Hi All you good amateurs out there in HAM land. I have recently found out
( the hardway ) That ICOM has a very POOR policy as far as keeping stock
for its many AMATEUR RADIO'S. I have a a ICOM-720A which at 11 years of age
the CPU went bad. I sent it to ICOM CANADA and they returned it as unrepairable
as ICOM no longer has the CPU. It has also come to my attention from a ICOM
repair man from ICOM USA that any radio older than 10 years is obsolite, and
parts are no longer available from ICOM. With this information I suggest all
sell your ICOM stuff, I have mine all listed for sale, and at one time, I would
not have any other brand in my shack, how things change, now You couldn't
give me an ICOM today.
 The list of ICOM GEAR is
ic-720a - needs CPU
ic-735  - working?
ic-751a - working?
ic-271h - working?
ic-3200a- working?
ic-02at - working?
ic-471h - working?
ic-04at - working?
 As it will most likly all be sold by the time anyone reads this, The list was 
included just to show I wasn't kidding when at one time I swore by ICOM now
I swear at it.
 I suggest we as AMATEURS not buy any more ICOM gear, until there repair policy
changes, and they keep there stock for a minimum of 20 years, and longer would
be better. How about GUYS and GALS???
 Although it won't do me any good, perhaps someone in the future won't get
stuck with a icom rig, IF IT COULD BE REPAIRED.

I've had a 7950 since 1983.  It travels constantly between two cars and my
shack.  One day while carrying it from the car to the house I tripped and the
rig flew out of my hand, landed on the top step of the porch, and bounced down
5 concrete steps, dragging the mike behind it.  Broke off a corner of the heat
sink, which I glued back on (because that point keeps it from sliding off my
van dash) and kept right on smokin'.  Good rig, to say the least.

See them at hamfests pretty regularly, but folks usually want $300 for them,
which I consider to be too high for a 9-yr old rig that cost of the order of
$400 new.  Occasionally I see them advertised for $250.  When I see them get
down to $200 or $225, I'll probably buy a couple more.

No offense, but I suspect most of us would not want a radio that had been
dropped 75 ft.

But, I am still using a can of WD-40 dropped 100 ft.  Isnt the world a
