that the SSB Detector may be bad.That's not good enough for me. Also, I have
three UHF HT's for sale or trade. All three are motorola 2 are HT 90's and 1
is an MX 340. The 90's are tuned into the ham bands, and are 2 channels/toned
@192.3KHz. The 340 is 10 channel (eight are there). It has not yet been tuned
into the ham bands, but could do so easily. Tone here is also 192.3. All
work, and are in really good shape. Seeking $150.00 each (includes chargers)
or will trade for a Mars/MARS modifiable rig.(HF)
