[TenTec] Century 22

[Steve Ellington]

VE3TMH is a promoter of DC recievers. He has a C21 with a mod he calls
"dual-RIT". It's rather simple. He installed 2 pots for rit and a switch so
he can instantly switch between them. Now when QRM pops up, he just flips
the switch to go to the opposite sideband. Of course this is for those who
don't mind taking the drill to their rigs.
