That tech is the person who told me what I have posted. in his opinion, the best ALE radio out is the Codan. Why are the Aussies so far ahead of us on these rigs??? Anyway, he is the person who told me that there is a standard being developed for HAM ALE usage. My personal interest is MARS. If I had a spare $5kUS, I would likely buy the Codan or the Harris. but to me, that is simply disgraceful or... bordering on obssessive behaviour to spend that much on such a radio. Still, just think of how much power is built into the radio along with scanning, etc and in a package which is designed to be carried around in Trish's command car<G>. regards 73/chas -- K5DAM Houston EL29fu AAR6TU http://tinyurl.com/df55x (BPL Presentation) Need a Digital mode QSO?
