[ML-Hams] State of HF Rig at Makeshop

[Jake Polatty]

I was thinking about bringing my HF rig to the shop.  It is a nice Yeasu
FT-890.  I also have a TNC that will make it do digital modes.

On a side note, I know there was another radio at the shop.  I think it was
a newer Kenwood with the upgraded head.  Does anyone know where it went?
