Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
   Since there doesn't seem to be a 10-D head out there,
how about an iambic key comparable to the Bencher BY-1
or Vibro "Bug" #110, #135, "Brass Racer" #145, you get
the idea...  It doesn't matter if it's an older unit,
as long as it operates correctly and smoothly.
   I'm looking for "iambic" because my TNC's have the
electronic keyers built in for that, and can provide
the random character excersizes I'm going to need to
re-learn the code again.  I'm not interested in the
straight key type, as I want to (re)learn on what I'll
be using for comm.

I have the Box and the Manual. I don't have the bracket.
 Right after I purchased this unit,I had the extended operation feature
done on it.
I have only used this rig about 20 times in it's life. I bought it for ATV
operation,and I found I didn't care for that.
Someone checked this out and I was told it puts out Full Power on 440,but
only puts out approx 13 watts on 2 meters.
I never followed this up. I bought the rig NEW and like I said,I only used it
20 times or less.
I am selling it for the best CASH offer over $250.

    I'd be suprised if your Metro could handle a 100w transciever... they
pull about 20-24 amps at full power... probably OK as long as you don't plan
on using your lights or AC at the same time.
    Buddy o' mine runs a TenTec Scout Mobile... up to 50 watts out in a
little Hyundai... works VERY nicely, he's been very satisfied. Also seen an
FT-7 Yaesu (25w, 10-80 minus WARC bands) mobile setup... not too shabby.

Write your reply.

assistant: In a message from Richard Anderson to Lynn Turley:
        These are -really- nice HT radios. Depending on the battery pack in
use, they output just over a watt. A fine way to get into packet without
spending a bundle. I used mine with an MFJ-1274 TNC, which required the
addition of an internal jumper to handle the 2AT's method of keying the PTT
line. Even if you run on battery power (using one of those packs Radio Shack
sells that lets you use 6 AA cells instead of the rechargable) the battery
life is -very- good.
        Anyway, if you -do- get a 2AT, I have service information for it
should you ever have need of it. The info covers the 2AT-4AT and some other
models.
