Sentiment, sediment ... it all falls to the bottom!

Well, a true ham could modify a 75, 72 or 40 mHz sythesized module to
work on 50 mHz, and I suspect a few have. Though with only 10
channels to worry about, carrying 10 crystals is almost practical ...
And in case you didn't notice, the Shadow 1 does the 50, 72 and 75 mHz
bands -- all in the same unit. That certainly seems to be the best of
all possible worlds, though I'm a little concerned about how good it
is at rejecting strong signals anywhere in that range.
I'd emailed Barry Kennedy at Kennedy Composites asking if I could
still get a Shadow 1, and he said --
Sorry,
Shadow 1s are out of production right now. They will resume this
summer.
This was about a month ago. Hopefully he's right, though he ought to
know.
