I had a Standard 826 back in the mid-70's. On one trip to the San Francisco Bay Area, we were pulled over by the Police while talking on the 146.85 Repeater. We were asking for some directions to a ham gathering, and we were giving detailed descriptions of where we were at the time. It was easy for the Police to find us to pull us over - they were hearing everything we said! We quickly found out about the Standard 826 transmit problem.

I remember this well. Back when Standard sponsored the 146.37/97 machine on PV and Roland whats-his-name was the voice of Standard in the local ham community! A very good friend of mine (also a ham) was a Detective with TPD and I remember the fun and games you describe as they tried to work through the problem. Ahhhh, how I miss the repeater wars of the 70's too... <g> Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ President and CTO - Arcom Communications Makers of state-of-the-art repeater controllers and accessories. http://www.ah6le.net/arcom/index.html We offer complete Kenwood TKR repeater packages!
