[AMPS] Re: small rice burners

[Jan.E.Holm@telia.se]

     Don´t just blaim the small rice burners. Rice boxes like the
     FT1000MP also plays a big role in the on the air crappy
     signal game. Also pure and simple ignorance from amateurs
     plays a big role, that ignorance couldn´t be seen 30 years
     ago.

     PS: TS-940´s has a pritty crappy TX too, just to mention  
            something else but a Yaesu.

Yes but S meter calibration has absolutely nothing to do with receiver
performance.

Yes and I bet that fits into the dashboard of the car very nicely as  
well.
