Wow another callsign from the "good old days"! Good to see you! The model 80 sure did drift alot, but it was a lot easier getting a weak signal out of it than detuning my Heathkit Pawnee running into a dummy load which was the "signal generator" it replaced. By the way I still have the model 80 ... and the Bird 43 we bought at the same time. Amazingly enough I haven't had an urge to replace the Bird! 73's Skip WB6YMH Yahoo!
