Gary and gang...

I have such a list already in electronic form. It includes not only the
ham products, but 90 percent of the test equipment as well. Although not
entirely complete (in most cases the test gear listing have no
specifications details) it would be a big head start.

A typical entry would look like this:

SB-102  Transceiver, HF  71 74  $350  80-10 meters no warc 100w

or

IO-10  Scope 60 67  $99.95  3 in DC-200 kHz compact

I have this list in my HP200LX palmtop computer for use at hamfests,
etc. It's a little scant on detail and may not be 100 percent accurate,
but it serves my purposes.

It would not be too difficult to transfer this data to a WWW page. I
could either send you the file, or I could put it up on my server.

Let me know if you think this data would be useful...

Cheers,

After having used the Web for a couple of years now I am convinced that
lots of information isn't always better than no information at all.
