HAM International MultiMode II
In about 1988 i used a HAM International MultiMode II together with an Linear amplifier 'Zetagi B300P' and a 'Spitfire' 3-element yagi beam. Worked well ower 200 DXCC with this one!! - The only problem with this radio is to 'TUNE' straight on the 5KHz channel or on the 0KHz in between channels due to no frequenzy readout, and only 4,5KHz tuning span.

The radio is now owned by a local (NonActive) radio friend,- I'm about to contact him to get a picture of the 'actual' radio. The radio Picture below is abducted from eBay.

My next FreeBand radio was an 'GALAXY DX-88HL'

Text from Internet site of 'Daviken'
'The HAM INTERNATIONAL MULTIMODE 2 is an advanced AM/FM/SSB 2-way transceiver primarily desig­ned for mobile operation. It employs the very latest technology to provide 120 channels operation in 4 modes of transmitting and receiving, by means of the phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry. The use of the PLL-circuitry assures a precise on-frequency operation on every channel, which is unmatched by conven­tional frequency synthesis system units.

The MULTIMODE 2 includes the following features which will provide greater operation convenience and assure optimum communication under a wide range of con­ditions; * Capability of triple mode of operation: conventional AM, FM or suppressed-carrier single side­band (LSB, USB). * 120 channels divided into 3 bands. * Illuminated meter for receiving signal strength and transmitting RF power monitoring. * Clarifier with on/off switch to fine tune to an off-frequency station. * Separate tune with +/- 4,5 kHz coverage enables you to cover the complete band without holes just as a VFO, but more comfortable. * Noise blanker and automatic noise limiter for reduction of ignition and atmospheric noises. * PA (public address) amplifier operation. * DX-LOCAL switch to prevent distorted reception. * Large channel readout using light-emitting diode array. * Reversible ground polarity system. " Detachable microphone with push-to-talk transmitting switch.'
