Would love to see some pics of this one for sure! And lots of pics! It sure sounds like a wonderful piece of "radio history"!!!!!! Slim

Never found a manual for mine either.Very little info out there for sure. I boxed mine up a few years ago;somewhere? Neat ol rig for sure! Slim.

Amen Mole! That's exactly what happened to me.That's why I told him to go for both while he was at it. I didn't because I felt a little intimidated by the General test and was afraid of failing.I'm pretty darn sure I'd passed it tho if I had tried.OH well,ya know what they say 'bout hind-site...

"ONLY problems I've had is the light went out behind the meter." That was a major problem w/mine too.I had to stick a new bulb in that thing every few months.I even turned it down so as not to burn too hot!! I bought some 12VDC LED's and was gonna put that in but my friend bought the radio...

"Passed both the Tech & General at one sitting." By all means go for both of them at the same time then.Might as well get your General while you're at it!!! I wish I had done it that way. Go for it and don't look back. Enjoy your new priviledges whatever you earn. It's a blast...

I've been hangin there since it started. I even bought one of the original "hand-wired" kits but never got the time to put it together yet.It's really cool isn't it? I'd like to get the newer version and give it a try,but......... Lotsa good reading there in the group too and very...

"getting a mustache whisker caught in the screen those mics can inflict some pain ! :blink::biggrin:" That's a great one Ron! Can't say I've been there done that;Thankfully.LOL!!! OUCH..... But anyways,sounds like a proper diagnosis to me guys...

Man oh Man,you guys are killing me! This thing does about eveything doesn't it? Will it give a guy a BJ too? Sounds like this rig has everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink! Keep up the great reviews fellas. I just wish it didn't cost so much.That's quite a price to pay for a HT no doubt. At...

Man oh Man,what a "dog-house" !!! I wish I had one to go and hide in like that.LOL!!! Looks great. I think you did a fine job myself. Just tell the XYL how much it would have cost to have a professional Carpenter do this for you and maybe she'll appreciate it a little more?? Now take it easy...

Page 43 or so.Hope this helps? 73.Slim.

What's next guys? Like this is really gonna catch on.LOL!!! Maybe someone will buy them;just not me! 73.Slim :)

Congrats sir! We're still waiting for ours;I envy you man! Spoil them and send them home to Mom & Dad to deal with.Ha Ha!!! Slim

I've had them memorized for years! I thought that was the coolest thing when I first heard it and I had them memorized in seconds!!! He will surely be missed and will always be considered "one of the greatest" comedians of ALL time. May you R.I.P. George :(...

Well Cheech,you've come a long ways sir! Lookin fine there and keep up the good work on that station. We'll catcha on the airwaves someday. 73.Slim CDX285

My XYL said go for it!!! I doubt that I will tho. Too worried 'bout the economy and will probably put it in savings also. I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg here folks! I hope to God I'm wrong. I've just got this "gut feeling" and believe me,my guts gotten bigger this past...

Hey Doctor,I see the "Murs open group" was able to help you out. I'm sorry I didn't have time to get you the info as quick as they did. I've been real busy around here lately. So busy in fact,I got my upgrade to "General" this past Saturday and haven't even gotten time to get on the air with my...

http://support.radioshack.com/support_electronics/doc56/56027.htm If you can help it,try not to use the coded squelch or TX. These are very funny acting with them on! There is some programming info here at shacks website.Hope this helps,if not,I can try and find a printout I have for ALL...

Dirty pots and/or switches in the meter? I know some of mine suffered from this in the past. Stupid house is very,very dry in the winter,even w/a humidifier running! Hope ya figure it out man.Slim.

Congrats sir.Get on the air and enjoy man! It's alotta fun even if we are just "tech's"! If I looked you up and guessed correctly,You can just use "never go home" for the phonetics;course there are a hundred other combinations that can be made up too. Just use these kind of phonetics with your...

Try it and see if ya like it or not. If not,then you're only out $14 or so for the testing fee. I bet you would be surprised! You can just go back to 11 meter if you don't like it. I procrastinated for 30 years and have been kickin' myself for that. I should have listened to my father after...
