   Hi Gopher, Wish I could say a fancy antenna but all I have ( and was using
   at the time ) is a G5RV antenna about 25 feet off the ground in some trees.
   That’s it.., nothing else. 73 Randy

   @torch39 Torch…, thanks for looking and commenting. YES! I agree , the
   essence of ham radio should be simplicity ( I’m a hypocrite cuz my station
   is no longer simple). I give more credit to the guy with the 20 year old
   radio , 100 watts and a wire antenna , than the “superstations” with a
   gazillion watts and the $10,000 Icom 7800. Take care and best 73’s to you
   TORCH Randy

    Except for the known bug at 70CM (where transmitting at that freq will
    cause the tuner to start to tune ) it works VERY well and remembers where
    it tuned. Takes a few weeks to build up enough memory of ALL the places you
    go to , but once it memorizes it you will get tuned in a matter of seconds.
    For the known bug I mentioned earlier simply turn off the tuner when
    transmitting on 440MHz .
