[1000mp] Relay thing..deaf receiver

[Steve Fraasch]

Best rig I have owned too.  N0UR won the 160m ARRL contest (low power) from my place with the MK V last winter in MN.  That is the first from MN in a very long time.

All I have is the INRAD roofing filter, click and NB mods.  No other optional filters.
