Let me throw one thing your way, Robert. 22 years ago when I was first licensed, I got a VX7R Gesu radio. And the very first thing I did with it was sit down at my kitchen table in Kirkland with the repeater book. And at that time it was brand new. I thought there was a repeater book on. I sat down and I literally took several hours to program in every single repeater I could hit in Seattle from my dining room table, whether it had activity on it or not. If I could ping it and it replied, I'd put it in there as a memory. And then I could put SCAD and it would blast through all those memories of repeaters that I had. So it would stop on some vent top. I could have a conversation with someone. I already had a pre-programmed in there and ready to go. Would I sit down for two or three hours and program all those in now? I've got so it's an interesting exercise because as anyone knows there's probably about 65 70 repeaters and puted sound and uh as anyone who listens around would know there's probably only you know 15 of them that get any real activity in most of them.
