What about us Techs... VHF and above!
Anyway... if by Packrat you mean an AEA PK232... they
are a very nice
TNC/Modem/Decoder... function set depending on the ROM Rev. And,
(ObClassiccmp) I managed to purchase PK232 serial number 76 from a big
ham
store in Los Angeles the week they were introduced.
After serial #100,
production was transfered to Hong Kong, where it remained until AEA went
under in 95 or 96 (IIRC). Also (ObClassiccmp) the PK232s were run by a
classic Z80 chipset. And yes, I still own it, and two others of later
vintage I picked up along the way.
I watched this via remote (IE: read QST have many Handbooks) now I can
being as I have 6/2/70cm capability.
