Hi Everybody,

Ever since I sole my FT-897D (whihc frankly didn't hold a candle to the FT-736R 
I had to sell back in 1999 [2, 222, 432 & 1296 capability is hard to beat])to 
pay for car repair bills, I've been trying to rebuild my VHF/UHF capabilities.  
I had pretty much decided to blow off the January VHF SS, so rebuilding the 
capability has been a pretty low priority.  But, in the past few days, I've 
decided to give the Jan. VHF SS a go.  The only problem, is that money is 
tight.   I have the FT-620B I picked up for chump change in Aug., for 6m, but 
all I have for 2 is FM.  Ditto for 440 (which is even less capabable, since 
it's an HT).  I see ePay has an old KLM Echo 70, that I might be able to get 
for a fair amount under $100.  It may ruin my chances for getting another 2m 
all-mode at the present time, but it may be worth it, since cheap 432 rigs are 
few and far between.  I realize it may be deaf compared to newer rigs, but does 
anybody have any experience with the Echo 70s?   

73,
Ellen - AF9J
