[TowerTalk] Fw: KT34XA vs. ......

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

The KT34XA is like an old Triumph motorcycle. It was a great bike and
real fun to ride. But you had to keep the durn thing running. Some
owners were lucky in that regard and swore that the others were just
beating up their bikes on bad roads, or that it was just a lemon from
the factory.

You hadda love those Triumphs. Someone who had his going and knew how to
ride could give you a real run for your money.

This XA thing is a thirty-year old script with a name substitution.
