[OZAPRS] TT4 Switchable?

[vk5ex.andrew]

Hi all,

Just conferring with Gordons comments. I use a TT3 in the Landcruiser and 
managed to install one of those very small DPDT switches into the original

plastic case .. Twas a bit of a squeeze though !! .. .. So I have 300bps
HF 
on the down position of the switch .. VHF 2m on the up position of the 
switch .. and (obviously) the off position is the switch in its centre 
portion. Note that I set the switch to fully up for VHF and fully down for

HF .. ie, VHF being the higher frequency than HF hence the switch in the
up 
position to run VHF APRS .. Had to create some sort of a convention so I 
could more easily prevent myself from beaconing 300BPS all over 2m and
visa 
versa !! .. ( Not really enough room to put labels on the box and they'd
be 
too small to read anyway)

Regards .. Andrew .. VK5EX
