Ssshhhh!
Actually its kind of funny. As you know the dial readout on the ARC5 is
fairly precise and easy to read. I was very paranoid about using the
VFO and only used about 5 particular favorite frequencies for fear that
"they" would hear me all over the band.
Seems so silly nowadays with CBers raising havoc scot-free from 24-29 Mhz!
