Any Export radio such as the General Lee (Older Version), Galaxy 55,99, Any radio with a 10k switch will take you to the old style A channels. The A Frequency's were used for the Remote Control Airplanes back in the early '70's
No, The knobs do not feel cheap. Everyday, I kick myself in the Butt for trading the optima away. Just like when i traded off my Ar3500-100wt model back in '91 Maybe that's why my back side has been sore for quite a long time. And i thought all this time drivin a semi-truck had something to do...

Ed, You forgot about the Rci-2950dx that covers 12m. And yes i am using my 2950dx, But i will say this much, The Optima is one fine radio that i may purchase another one and keep it this time and use this for a Base Station.
I agree, I am running a Rci-2950dx with a Wilson mag mount 1000, And for the mic, I am using the Astatic D-104m6 backed with a Palomar Magnum and i am getting great reports with my set-up. And Skip is coming around. Made some contacts on Am and SSB.
Wow, Here we go again with the Truck Driver B.S.
I run a Rci-2950dx with a Palomar Magnum and a Wilson antenna for my set up out there on the road. Sorry Weasel, I don't use Echo. And as far as being Self Respected, After 35 yrs. I outta be. Enough Said.

Bam Bam, Check out Robb's report on the Magnum Omega Force S45hp
This is the radio i should of bought. And now i have some funds put back just for this.
OK after all the B.S. I too am a member of the S.F. DX group My call sign is 2SF548 and it does say there home frequency is 27.420 lsb. I have no problem with a Rci-2950dx going to this frequency.
Me and a friend of mine ( who was into 11-meter ) installed a 40' tower in my neighborhood, I was pleased with this little 40' tower. And so was my wife who by the way operated the Base Station while i was in my Semi-Truck. Worked out great.
