Re: Scammer Alert "Frank SWL"
scammer is an insult from a grumpy old ham. Too publish my e-mail address is borderline illegal.
The more info was given the more was asked for.
I only used it for shortwave and ham hf listening but have a licensed ham friend who tested it for me for transmit functions.
I have never scammed anyone and in this case I'm glad we never made a deal because I know he wanted to steal it for half of its value.
