[TenTec] O3 wish list - must be getting old

[Gene Freund]

My brain fart for the day: Intrigued by this idea, I did a search and found 
the flex 1500 site ( 
http://www.flex-radio.com/Products.aspx?topic=F1.5k_features ) with a 
picture of the little unit.  And I'm looking at the front panel and 
wondering "what the * is an Upper Side Band jack?"  Oh, _USB_ oh, OK, now I 
get it.  Guess I was thinking too much about the radio part and not enough 
about the software defined part!

73,

Gene - N8KUA
