[Lancaster] A Spare CRT monitor

[Ken Hough]

Hi Mark!

I'll hang onto the Iiyama for a few days so let me know if you decide to go 
for it.

I agree, it was a nice monitor in it's day and apart from it's size, it still 
is. I'm hoping that my new DELL monitor will be comparable wrt tonal 
resolution.

As I said, I needed to recover some desk space so as to make room for some 
amateur radio gear that is yet to be obtained. I hope that this will be soon 
because I past my Foundation License exam on Tuesday night. Provided that 
Ofcom get themselves into gear, I should have my license and call sign 
sometime tomorrow.

I already have an Icom PCR1000 communications receiver. This is an SDR 
(software defined radio) that is controlled 100% via the PC. Of course the 
control software is MS Windows stuff, but I've got it running via wine/Debian 
and of course I can run it via Win XP/Virtualbox/Debian.

Regards

Ken Hough
