- Does anyone have a listing of such gateways, and instructions on

- 12.0 Volts (not 13.8) and was rather deaf by today's standards.
- It made a reasonable first VHF rig.

-
- Only known valid method for recieving out of band signals:
-
- Determine frequencies of interest.
- Select scanner that will hear those frequencies.
- Buy that scanner.
- Keep the HTX202 for its good intermod performance in band.
-
- (i.e., there are NO valid mods to the HTX202!)
