Well, I guess I haven't been checking into a lot of nets. I mean, there are certain ones I do like to check into. I always like to check into Cammie's net. And then, you're right, I haven't been checking into many. So anyway, the mountain is definitively not out. And when Jim was giving the report on answering your question about what the first mobile amateur radio install was, I was thinking about the first amateur radio mobile radio that I ever installed in one of my vehicles. And I was thinking, oh, I think it's, what is it, a Regency? And so I thought, wait, I know, I'll look up Regency amateur radio transceiver, and there it is, the exact model. A Regency model HR212 2-meter FM amateur radio. And my memory was serving me that it was like two power levels, two watts and eight watts. But it's hard to get the, yeah, it doesn't really go into any detail. But I think it had a high and low, and it had crystals, it was crystal controlled, and it had two tuning knobs on it. One was the receive channel, and the other was the transmit channel. So you could mix and match them, and it had a crystal for a 5-2 simplex, and another crystal set for a 5-8 simplex. And it had three local repeaters in it, which is all the ones that were in the Upper Peninsula, and none of them used PL tones. But then one of them, the one in Marquette, started using a PL tone, and so I could no longer get into it with my Regency.
