Issues and NO Answers:

1) Does anybody know what happened to the rumored Icom IC-35 220 MHz
   rig? Has anybody in Net-land gotten a new Santec-220uP ? If so, how
   is it ? Does anybody have anything to say about the Yaesu Memorizer ?
2) I have seen references before on the net to a CB allocation in VHF or
   UHF range. Where, pray tell, is that, (so I can avoid it...).
3) Is there any packet activity which does NOT use HDLC chips and
   strange NRZI encoding ? This would be like RTTY - asynchronous 1200
   baud, but have the protocol and packet structure. In other words, why
   do I have to buy a TAPR board to do packet ? I have a home system and a
   both a 202 and 212 modem - plug into my serial port, add some
   software, and presto: packets ! Any other standards or groups working
   on non-TAPR approaches ?
4) Are there any 2-meter FM DX nuts like me around Chicagoland who can
   give advice on antenna setup, linears, etc. I have a Kenwood 7950 (45
   watts) and a Butternut Super-Trombone (5 dbd omni) whose base is at
   the 30 foot level (therefore the tip at the 46 foot level). I am going
   to be putting up a Power-Pack A147-22 sometime. Do all you guys hang
   out on 52 ? I heard a so-called FM DX net once, called and was either
   ignored or just didn't make it. Any operating info for a newcomer ?
