This was an article posted in the Yorba Linda, CA RACES Newsletter. It's about a hand-held two-way ham radio.

Just when you thought modern H-T's had included just about every feature conceivable, along comes Alinco with it's new DJ-195T that includes - get this - an experimental "mosquito repel" feature. Alinco USA Branch Manager Katsumi Nakata, KE6RD, says the unit emits an electronic tone to keep the annoying insects away from the vicinity of the radio. "It's a feature we added just for fun," Nataka said. " The mosquito repel feature could make the DJ-195T the first radio capable of de-bugging a Field Day operation position," he added with a smile. (Hmm. Was that announcement dated April 1?)
