Ham Radio Stuff

I went to the Livonia swap last weekend. It was an OK swap I guess.. There was an ice storm and the roads were pretty bad. Alot of people showed up anyway. It was a very crowded swap with narrow isles. I ended finding and buying a Clegg 22'er. This is a 2 meter AM tube transciever. The radio is in almost mint condition. It didn't come with any transmit crystals or manual or mic. I bought a 144.45 transmit crystal online as well as an OEM Clegg mic and scanned manual. The whole setup costs less than 100 dollars. It will be interesting to see how it preforms on the air. The radio is capable of about 20 watts, although I have seen reports of the radio doing close to 45 so we will see. I think I am going to take the radio to work tomorrow and blow all the dust out of it so it is ready to go when the mic, crystal, and manual come.

Also, on a side note, a Shure model #450 Dispatch Mic sounds like crap on a Yaesu FT-1802. :)
