[Amps] Alpha 99 above 18 MHZ ?

[Steve Katz]

'Sfunny, the A99 should xmit just fine on 21 MHz, as the only two locked out
positions are 24 and 28 MHz....

I called Cross Link and got right through to somebody, just now (11:10am
PDT), so your friend's problem might be solved today, if he calls them back.
