I have this http://www.arrl.org/graphical-frequency-allocations as a reference to frqs... can't find a prosaic simple numbers listing of frqs for Tech for my efforts. Still casting an scouring about for a mobile that won't burst my skinny ass wallet like a toy balloon. Dual bands in plenty, but in UHF/VHF pairs. No VHF/HF pairings. Would not doubt there are likely triband and even quad bands (guessing, but HF/VHF/low UHF/high UHF?) but I got one look at a triband and backed away top scalded-arse-cat speed.

Is it impolitic/just not done, General, to inquire what rig you were using for this quality of 40m phone performance?
