Retuning normally takes a second or so as the ATU has memories built in.<br />I will keep the blog updated with my experiences of the unit, so far I am pleased with it.<br /><br />73 KevinGW0KIGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707013148547349857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1784847304693351783.post-79745513726445446102010-08-29T22:48:26.919+01:002010-08-29T22:48:26.919+01:00Hi Kevin do keep us posted on how the unit does on...Hi Kevin do keep us posted on how the unit does on Eham they are rated at 4.6 which is not to bad at all.
