    President JFK,Rare?

    I picked up a really nice one today for $95. I did not need another radio but i have never seen one before so i got it. While trying to find some info on it i ran across a you tube video about a JFK and the guy who posted it said that those radios were rare. Any truth to that?

    Yaesu FT 100D getting to hot?

    I remember reading that these radios tend to get a little hot. The problem is that sometimes (but not every time) i have my FT on it smells like the radio is getting to hot. Kinda smells like wire burning in a way but i never see smoke,the fan only kicks on every so often and the radio is not...

    Thought on a Yaesu FT-100D?

    I picked up one last weekend from a local ham who bought the radio new. It does not have a single scratch on it,no mods and came in its original box with mike and paper work. He told me that he only used the radio on 2 meter and 440 and never turned the power up.....i guess that's a good thing...

    HP 1220 A oscilloscope

    I just got this one for free from a family member who no longer used it and it works. I think i know what the answer will be but.....this thing cant be used for working with radio equipment can it? I'm thinking that since it's a 15 MHz (only info i could find said that it is 15 MHz ) that it...
