    How do I buy a Randy III in the USA?

    All Euro sellers I found want well over $200 for one BEFORE shipping. Add $50 for that. That adds up to nope nope nope too expensive. Anyone know of a North American source under $200?

    Channel King board update?

    I have a couple of Channel King boards. One in a 980 and one in my 2000. A few years ago Mark said he planned to do some kind of update to the project. A V3.0 board perhaps? But that was before Mike did whatever it was he did and things went quiet. Anyone know more? Thanks.

    Loose wire in Cobra 135 XLR.

    Howdy. I asked this on FB but thought I'd try here where the experts dwell. When looking in my newish Cobra 135 XLR I noticed a disconnected wire in the power supply area. This radio has a very dim display so I hoped that was the cause. Nope. Grounded it with no improvement. The radio is...

    Turner JM+2/U replacement mic element?

    Has anyone ever seen a replacement mic element for a Turner JM+2/U mobile mic? My stock element has a big hole in it. The rest of the mic is in great shape and it would be a shame to toss it. Thanks!

    The fun of T Hunting.

    I love the shocked look on smack talking kids faces as my friends and I get out of our car, walk to his door, knock, and ask his mommy if we can see our "radio friend", her son on the porch. They almost always let mommy deal with the big mean men. BTW we ask "Mommy" her name and for a phone...

    I need a new 148 GTL speaker. Source idea?

    Had a friend hand me an old 148 GTL and say here keep it. Okay, I did. I should have wondered why somebody would give away a good radio. Today I found out why. Blown speaker. External speaker jack works fine. So where is a good source for a 148 GTL speaker? There's none on eBay. A bit better...
