This is getting interesting. He checked and his 6+ has rev 1.02. Again, mine
is 1.03. Then I found this in the archives:
http://lists.contesting.com/archives/html/TenTec/2001-09/msg00106.html
So it appears that maybe they screwed up the keying inorder to reduce the
chirp. I will find out for sure Sunday. I plan to exchange his chip for mine
and see what happens.
If anyone else out there knows anything about this, please chime in!
