    Hi - you're Sam's brother, right? Had dinner with him
    the other night. Lots of fun!
    RE the ham thing, one of the crew has a license. What
    I need to know is how to modify this unit so that it
    will work on the marine bands. I understand that there
    is both a hardware and software solution for this.
    I really know nothing about this unit, so I need all
    the help you or anyone else can give me. For example,
    what are the advantages/disadvangtages of each
    solution?
