    I was in there last year. I have a Stryker 447. I wanted to have the on/off, channel change beep turned off. It take the cable and software to do that. They said they couldn't, didn't have a cable. I wasn't impressed.

    Realistic TRC 435

    Realistic TRC 435

    It did come with a manual. It was made in the Philippines, so I assume it's early 80's. Was wondering what board it might have, if it might be Uniden.
