[amsat-bb] FT-736R vs. TS-2000X

[Comcast]

FYI:  During the 10 years when I worked in VP2E land I had an FT-736 and found it to be very robust.  Operated flawlessly on generator power most of the time including power dips and fluctuations.  I sure wish I had kept it but donated it when I was posted elsewhere.
