   GM Ed,   
      
    EV> even though TNX has a real nice rythym to it as it is being sent.   
      
   While contesting on VHF in the early 70's I started to send GL to my   
   competitors after a finished contest exchange. To day I hear many CW   
   qso's on the HF bands also wishing GL (GoodLuck) to each other but that   
   shorthand hasn't yet reached the ARRL's RAHB.   
      
   EV> On evening when the Net Control Operator (NCS) was someone who has   
   EV> been in Amateur Radio since the 1930's?, instead of normally sending   
   EV> ._. to acknowledge what he told me to do, I sent _ . _. ...._ to   
   EV> him, just as a joke.   
      
   I have ceased to translate your dashes and dots since I don't want to   
   guess what letter it is that you try to implement.   
      
   EV> Is the RF Amp still used?   
      
   I have previously stated that the tubes are finished, probably due to   
   overdriving the PA with a Drake TR-4c. Consequently it isn't used.   
      
    HG> why not HP-14 ? Well, after sifting through the manual I found   
    HG> out that the mobile PS was named HP-14.   
      
   EV> The Power Supply for their SB- series is named HP-23, so I suppose   
   EV> they just incremented the number One Digit for the AC Power Supply   
   EV> for their KW Kompact RF Amp.   
      
   Please note what I stated above, "the mobile PS is named HP-14"
