The "T" that is missing, stands for tone, as in touch-tone. I saw one of these
at Radio Expo for $299 (I think?!). It lacks any keypad, hence its lack of
ability ti generate touch-tones (although I wouldn't be surprised if a MT8870
or 8880 chip is in there to decode/encode for TTsquelch, I just dont know how
one programs it!).
If all you want to do it talk- and you don't mind dialing-in the freq rather
than direct numerical entry than I suppose this radio might work.
Anyone with corrections, please feel free- I only glanced at this at the
hamfest while running for all the other bargains :-)

One significant beef with the above. You've just instructed the net
ham population to send subscription requests to the article
submission address and not the subscription address. This will cause
all of the subscribers to receive such messages (and not be able to
subscribe the requestor to the list as they are not the appropriate
recipient). Replace "ham-univ" in the address above with "listserv."
This will cause your subscription request to go to the right location,
and not start off your participation on the mailing list by annoying
the readership.

I don't have a problem with that. Do you?

Just as some of us will always be nauseated by the acts of child
molesters and those who commit bestiality, so it is with gays.
And I believe that sodomy is still illegal in some states. According
to our campus newspaper sodomy among the gays in the restrooms on
campus is rampant.
Homophobic? Hardly, since I have no fear of the estimated 2%; try
homo-disgusted.
ObRadio: Any problem with using a length of iron re-bar for an
earth ground? Or does everyone use expensive copper pipe? After I
realized that there was a voltage potential between the house wiring's
electrical ground and the cold water pipe outdoors I've decided to
drive a grounding rod into the soil (seasoned with rocksalt!).
