[OZAPRS] FM 900 ... programing?: Was Re: sgates

[Norm, VK3XCI]

Alas, FAIL
My FM 900 doesn't have 145.825! Just looking at it 
it's a real dogs breakfast. It came from the ACT 
and the memories don't seem to make any sense :(

SO.....
Help with the programming would be greatly 
appreciated and I would of course be prepared to 
pay :)

I remember having some software somewhere but it 
dates back to last century so it could be anywhere!

Meanwhile I guess I'll press the handheld into 
service.
