From the photo it looks like 40-600MHz. The upper range is blurry so it can also be 560 MHz. On Monday, June 8, 2015 at 2:04:48 PM UTC-3, Jonathan wrote: Paul, Hmm, fascinating possibility. Off to work for a few days, I'll be back. What frequency range is the UHF? Jonathan On

Dan, I could pay somewhere around what you paid. Non-working would be fine, although we like working ones! Shipping would be a bear. I'll file it under hopeful fantasy. :-) I have seen the Yaesu ft-501. Cool looking radio but I'm holding out for neon! Get yer license! Easy and

Very true.Voltage should be very easy to find for nixies just check out the amperage. As we all know there might not be enough extra. That would be sweet not needing a switcher.  KB7DV On Sunday, May 31, 2015 6:04 PM, Charles MacDonald cm...@zeusprune.ca wrote: On 15-05-31 08:49
