Blast from the Past
link to blast history
 WOW,
introducing a radio that you didn't need a computer to program,
and/or a PhD to understand ??
how can that be?? The Icom IC-2AT, Full of
Features, but didn't have any menus to confuse the issue.. It
had a very unique memory system, very easy to program to your
local repeater !! or simplex
Introduced in 1979 it cost $230 today thats $947
Thats not 9 dollars and forty seven
cents ,,
Now how to program the memory: first dial the frequency into
the thumb wheel switches, second select the offset, and press
the PTT switch and you were
"up and running" until you decide to QSY to some other frequency.
A very cleaver idea.. Icom say's they sold over 500,000 of these

This test Pattern has circles,
not ovals, if you see ovals, chances are your windows settings are
incorrect for your monitor. |
PLUS:
if you have a
gas
furnace , hot water heater,
fireplace insert, anything that uses combustion
you need a CO detector |
