[TenTec] RX366 9 MHz Out

[Barry N1EU]

Kim, FYI I posted to this list about my lack of success using the RX366
9MHz output to drive LP-PAN (w preamp).  I believe the VE7TK mod that adds
a Clifton Labs buffer amp to generate the 9MHz output will probably yield
much more satisfactory results.

73/GL,
