Frequency was a great movie. I saw it in a theater (great to see an
SB-301 on a big screen) and must admit I got a little misty.

I was surprised, however, that the shack wasn't bigger, incorporating
more equipment. It seems to me that a larger set up would have given
more cinematographic opportunities. At the very least, an SB-610 and
SB-620 would have been nice.

Then again, if the rig was too complex, it might have been hard for
the son to figure it out.

I especially enjoyed to novel SB-301 repair sequence.
