[TenTec] Pan-Adaptor vs. Using BandMap with Ten-Tec Transceivers

[Art Roberts - W5AER]

Steve,

Back then, I started with a Twoer too, but added the converter/receiver 
and just transmitted with the Twoer. The Twoer's had very good audio 
punch, for a low power rig.
I was at Westover AFB, Mass at the time and needed some selectivity. 
Also added a Cushcraft 16 element collinear on the roof of the barracks. 
Fun days...
