- The "T" that is missing, stands for tone, as in touch-tone. I saw one of these
- at Radio Expo for $299 (I think?!). It lacks any keypad, hence its lack of
- ability ti generate touch-tones (although I wouldn't be surprised if a MT8870
- or 8880 chip is in there to decode/encode for TTsquelch, I just dont know how
- one programs it!).
-
- If all you want to do it talk- and you don't mind dialing-in the freq rather
- than direct numerical entry than I suppose this radio might work.
-
- Anyone with corrections, please feel free- I only glanced at this at the
- hamfest while running for all the other bargains :-)

- One significant beef with the above. You've just instructed the net
- ham population to send subscription requests to the article
- submission address and not the subscription address. This will cause
- all of the subscribers to receive such messages (and not be able to
- subscribe the requestor to the list as they are not the appropriate
- recipient). Replace "ham-univ" in the address above with "listserv."
- This will cause your subscription request to go to the right location,
- and not start off your participation on the mailing list by annoying
- the readership.

- Just as some of us will always be nauseated by the acts of child
- molesters and those who commit bestiality, so it is with gays.
- And I believe that sodomy is still illegal in some states. According
- to our campus newspaper sodomy among the gays in the restrooms on
- campus is rampant.
-
- Homophobic? Hardly, since I have no fear of the estimated 2%; try
- homo-disgusted.
-
-
- ObRadio: Any problem with using a length of iron re-bar for an
- earth ground? Or does everyone use expensive copper pipe? After I
- realized that there was a voltage potential between the house wiring's
- electrical ground and the cold water pipe outdoors I've decided to
- drive a grounding rod into the soil (seasoned with rocksalt!).
