Hello Jim!
Pleased to hear it.
Unfortunately, the 3rd party involved with the IC728, G0FGW,
has been an SK for a few years now.
The computer that you gave me in exchange for the two ICOM 2M rigs
is still going strong as a backup, but mostly only gets switched on
at the weekends to keep the battery topped up.
The Baofengs have remained unused in the box you gave me.
Not doing a great deal here with radio these days, but recently
acquired an EA12 for restoration and considering the T41-EP project.
Not so much radio these days, mostly horology, mending old clocks.
The march of time, we don't do spark any more, and now most of the
test eqpt I'd acquired over the years, RF genny, AF genny,
RF millivoltmeter, have been knocked into a cocked hat by the
cheap Chinese VNA and spectrum analyser. Used to be a whole
shelf full and half of the radio shack but now little bigger than
a couple of packets of fags!
