   In my previous message I asked if the audio for Your RIG was AM,   
   in thinking about it I remembered when I used 2 M Packet my RIG was set   
   for FM.   Duh.  Sorry for the dumb question earlier.   
      
    EV> Is the Schematic for it on some Web Site?

   O.K. Thanks.

   That's good!, I'd figure the Part Numbers on the Schematic would be easy   
   to understand since (I think) all electronic parts from manufacturers in   
   European Countries would use the same Standard Markings.   
      
   A long time ago I was listening on 2 Meters and heard someone talking about   
   needing some Tubes/Valves for a product that didn't have U.S.A. Markings   
   on the Tubes.   
      
   I broke in and asked him to wait while I found my 1959 Allied Radio catalog,   
   because I remembered seeing some Mullard Tubes in it had both Tube Numbers.   
      
   The catalog had most of the tubes that He needed to get.   
      
   I always try to be a good LID   .   .

   Don't get in a hurry on my account, there's too many other things You need   
   to do instead of thumbing through old magazines.   
      
   Would the Magazines December issue include a Yearly Index?   
      
   I can't read German but I'm going to add to my ROUNDTUIT list to Search   
   on DuckDuckGo for the URL for the CQ DL and UKW Beriche magazines.

   Thanks for the CW.   
      
   Last month in another BBS Network echo on this BBS I noticed some CW in   
   the Signature of a message, so I wrote a message to let the fellow know   
   that I saw the CW that said the Name of His BBS in His message.   
      
   My next message to You has Daves Reply for You to see how He used CW in   
   His Signature Line.
