    Ah, but if you were insane, you wouldn't know it!
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Dumped sixty....DUMPED SIXTY BUCKS??? I'm insested. (Well I would have been if I had a sister) Dump is what a bear does in the woods. You made an INVESTMENT in the restoration of a highly desirable piece of electronic memorabilia, which only makes it more desirable to the amateur radio community, thus, furthering the interest in radio communications and making for a higher level of understanding and brotherhood amongst others of like interests not only locally, but globally, as well. No way in hell you'd catch me pissin away that kind of money on some glass shells somebody stuffed with some bits of metal and sucked the air out of. Ya crazy Bastid.

    At times, it seems like forever. However, no one will ever be able to call on me as often as she has. The good news is that she is just about ready to test for license. The bad news is she will never be "afflicted" with ham radio like most of are.

    Hi there..

    I have tried to post three times now, so forgive me if there is a multiple post. I have just completed my webpage for the newest Icom interface project. I have successfully interfaced a 211, and the 701 is the same protocol except it also requires an analog voltage for switching. I have made accomodations for this in my new design. I have not tested a 701 yet because i don't have one in my possession. If you want to check out the webpage, it is at http://home.comcast.net/~tinkyr/radi...0Interface.htm There is also a link to my youtube site so you can see videos of the interface working. This has been a lot of work, and if you have interface questions about these radios, i will be happy to share what i have uncovered.

    Hey Dave!
    Welcome to the Island! Go put you feet up on the beach and enjoy. The bartender will be along shortly.

    It is nice to see folks like who are willing to share their knowledge. I personally thank you for doing so.

    Edit: ​OK, I just looked at your page and I have to say that I am impressed. Nice Job!

    Indeed, nice work, Dave and welcome to the Island. It has become a tradition for newcomers to have a drink on my tab, which I never pay and which is roughly equal to the GNP of Bolivia.

    Yes ...... I have to echo this as well ......Welcome to the Island Dave and indeed thank you very much for the link to your page with the Icom 701 mods!!
    To say I'm impressed would be an understatement.With all luck I'll be able to now carry on with this intriguing project.I will let you know how I progress with this to a successful conclusion
