[amsat-bb] Modern Equipment Matrix

[John Geiger]

I had forgotten those. They both had built in power supplies also.  Too bad
Kenwood didn't make a TS611 for 6m use.  They did make a TR9300 which was a
6m version of the TR9130/9500, but never marketed it in the US.  THose are
very rare to find but do show up from time to time.
