[BC] Regenerative receiver fun...

[Burt I. Weiner]

I remember on a two-meter T-Hunt where a fellow 
who was new at this wanted to follow me.  No 
problem until I discovered he was using a "Benton 
Harbor Lunch-Box" - A two-meter transceiver with 
a super regen receiver.  I finally told him that 
if he wanted to follow me he'd have to turn it off.
