Tru, but so can my 1.5K if I put a matching network behind it which of
course the 2K4 has built in.

But...but...but...whay would any one do something so terrible to our bands.

That's like me telling the locals I have the 2002A so I can get into the
repeater 6 miles away.
Actually I did tell them it's for packet so I can work any one I can hear.

I picked up a pair of new 3-500s for just a little over that. I should
sell the Eimac tubes I have as they are bringing a premium price. OTOH most
of the tubes I have around here go for a lot more than $175.

I like the buttons and flashing lights and ... auto band switching with near
instant tune with the auto-tuner. Wish I could do that with the 76A. I
figure an auto-tuner is a courtesy for every one else on the bands. Maybe I
should ask for contributions?
