Re: [amsat-bb] VHF/UHF Multimodes, Transverters, and power spikes

["Gary \"Joe\" Mayfield" <gary_mayfield@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have heard this about the FT-736, but not the FT-847.  I use an 847 and
have not had this problem.  I try to connect the transverter after turning
the radio on, but it doesn't always happen this way.

73,
