Loooxury.

This USB digitally tuned panoramic, vistavision, stereoscope HF.

When we were boy, had to wind out 150 ft of washing line aerial, tune little light thingy, select one of three fixed crystal locked every band, middle, upper and lower side band frequencies, look outside to see if it day or night, recheck correct day/night frequency selected, light wick thing for boiler to run steam generator, then, check to see if DCA FS had selected frequency on chart then talk.
Remember to wind washing line aerial back in before landing or replace 5/- (five shilling) plastic funnel drogue when you forgot and unwind 300 yds of fence from end of aerial.

Walk to PMG phone box make Airflash call to nearest DCA FSU to cancel SAR advised over HF??just to be sure.

Simple really.

As for these 95,000 freq synthesised wooser USB HF bah, not like them old days. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
