Andrei,
I called Dunestar and was in need of a manual for the 600, as I bought
it used/refurb elsewhere. I was telling the OM my perils of trying to
get this hooked up with the TS440s and WL, when out-of-the-blue, he
asked "why not buy our rotary switch"?
I told him I did not see it on their webpage. Well, it is there but
poorly positioned indeed.
800BPF Manual Band Switch for Model 600 $ 53.00 US
There is no mention of this item on the BPF page at all. It is found on
the Order Form ONLY.
73,
