Just got a kick out of watching the Discovery Channel "Everest 2" show tonight.
First spotted frequency was a Kenwood rig, 145.25 simplex. Also watched the Japanese team keying up a Yaesu with that #@(*&@#% WIRES button activated, and a DTMF tone going out on the beginning of every transmission... on simplex. They were utterly clueless that they had it activated (just like repeater users around here!) and that it was cutting off the beginning of their transmissions. No callsigns heard, ever... of course. Good thing there's no CATV systems anywhere near Everest, eh? ;-) Nate WY0X
