Just clearing the inbox here and saw this post from Harry. I don't recall
anyone explaining to him why that even without FM, the Triton IV's optional
10M crystals for the upper end of the band were popular.
Of course the reason was, back in the day, the OSCAR 10 and 11 ham satelites
used that part of the band as the downlink frequencies.
Heck, I don't even remember if FM was legal on 10M when those rigs first
came out in the mid-70s!

So far on this thread no one has mentioned that the T IV doesn't do FM..
Yet the optional crystals for the upper part of the 10M band were a big
deal..
In all fairness the Triton IV was my first OEM transciever.. Most everything
before that were "Grief Kits".. It still is one of TT's great radios.. A
wonderful beginners rig..
