Re: Ma/Com History

I agree with the CommNet name being very brief.

Re: 'Base Commander' antenna series by Andrew/Decibel/AS

For years, OK, maybe decades, the ASP680 was my antenna of choice, when I needed a lightweight, low wind load antenna, with gain. At only four (4) pounds, I have never had one fail. Highly recommended, at least from this old radio guy. Now the bad new about it. It is no longer being produced. I have...

True, those old computers will die someday, but the small hard drives are available on eBay for cheap too, just as old dos computers are. The dos based radio programs, Kenwood, GE, Motorola can be programmed right from the disc, so HD storage isn't that critical. GE aka MA Com still uses dos to prog...
