For the most part I have used a footswitch for SSB contesting in the past but am considering trying the use of VOX instead. I use an FT-920 for contesting and I can't seem to be able to set the VOX c

Hello all and thanks a lot for reading. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company (perhaps Yaesu?) that sells a see-through, plastic great circle map that I might be able to install behind the needl
