By the way, I do remember reading that one should not put an amplifier after the HB-1B as it might not then pass FCC requirements. So to me that would be one excuse for taking the KX-3. The original
The SCAF-1 connects to the audio output of the radio, which is OUTSIDE of the AGC loop. The NESCAF appears to be similar. Look up Doug DeMaw's (I think he was still W1CER at the time) review of the T
Actually it was worse than that. Kodak was an early adopter of digital photography. Maybe too early. The market was not ready for their products, and when it was they were unable to change mid-stream
I don't know where in its history it started, but Ten-Tec for a long time, possibly since the beginning, did not make a profit from the ham radio business. It was subsidized by their case and militar

There is a kind of thrill when making a QSO with a 40 year old Argonaut running 3 watts. Or twisting the knobs on an old boat anchor receiver. I second that motion. Although I recently "upgraded" my
