[TenTec] RX366 9 MHz Out

[P C A]

WOW, everyone is missing my point. I would not spend any more money on the Oll. Now, I have a classic Harley Davidson Motorcycle that I have spent in excess of 3k on chrome to make it mine. I have Lionel Trains (standard gauge ) that were my Dad's.  As an x Corp pilot I have help restore several aircraft. You see, we all have our gigs. I just can not see spending money on the Oll. Better radio's will come along.
