   As I said earlier, I have been off the air for two decades.  I recently   
   hooked up my ancient Kantronics All Mode just for grins and it does still   
   work (I use it for RTTY, as I remembered, it doesn't copy CW very well at   
   all).  You can't even find documentation at the Kantronics site for this   
   box anymore.  I would recommend looking in something like a recent AES   
   catalog.
