This is interesting. While browsing through CQ yesterday, MFJ has a
"beacon" device on 
page 21. Sort of confusing.....first they say the unit has to be
hooked up to a radio RX, and then later, say it's a "stand alone
unit". If it's truly a "stand alone", then I'm going to hook it up to
my AUX RX input...):>

Anyway, wonder if such a device would be helpful in contests..Be nice
to hook it to a second radio....let's see..new class for contests.
