Hello Bill,
A year or so ago I had an unusual mod applied to my 51R (found it on
Internet, went looking for it again six months ago and couldn't find it
anymore). It opened the rig up extensively, but I found that most of the
additional freqs were useless (1.25 M for one) for xmit. Also, outside
the normal 2M and 70CM bands it is largely deaf as a post.
HOWEVER, your entry got me thinking. I dug out my scanner and tuned
my 51R the way you described. And, I'll be darned, the thing
transmitted. Haven't a clue how far it went, what my SWR was, or whether
I can "hear" anything, but it DID transmit.
Hope this answers your question. Thanks for the info!
---> Happy New Year to all on the list! <---
73,
