[k2qmf at juno.com]

Hello Bill,

You must have had a broken Mark V Field !!!

I have a Mark V Field and it is a great rig.
The RX is the best part of it!!

Noel,  If you can find a Field buy it.  You'll love it...

73,  Ted  K2QMF

P.S. - I have had many rigs in my time (since 1955)
          so I know from what I say...
