Does your Radio have the two Frequency dials on the front panel, or is
it the Prom only version.

There are two knobs. One marked USA and one marked Europe receive. The
display is LED above them. There seems to be no frequency knobs. The
switch under the display is in Mhz for the various bands. There are 16
channels on each band, I suppose, right? I've never used it. It sat here
for a year and is useless to me. It's very nicely made...like something
you'd put on an Alaskan trawler...(c; There's a push button marked USA -
Europe to switch the channels, probably for the old duplex telephone
company channels.

Free for the asking....a sign of how popular HF is getting to be.

I figured if someone was using one, they'd like a free spare for parts or a
hot-swap-at-sea spare.

Yep, that is the Prom only version. A better version is the one with
two sets of Thumbwheel Switch groups, that can be used to set the Tx and
Rx frequencies from the front panel. There are a bunch of hams that use
these for digital operations. There is also a LSB option for the 106 as
well, if your rich and famous.....
