Is it the same as this one?

If so, we have a scan of schematic and service manual. A bit crusty but readable, and better than nothing.

I believe the RoadStar is a new model full of surface-mount parts.
Pretty sure the Super Jaguar above is from 1980 or before.

The roadstar RS-309 sold here was a 9 channel version (for the south african market, channels 19-27 only) but otherwise identical to the super jaguar. Early to mid 80's sometime. Easy to revert to a 40 channel model by replacing the channel switch which back then could be ordered as a spare part from hatadi.
Cheap way to get a 40 channel ssb back then, couldnt be licensed, so dikk smith sold them for less than the price of an am and the 40 switch could be had for under $15. Add an hour to fit the switch and ya on the air.
If you go to google images and search for "Roadstar RS-309" (with the quotes) the first few pics show one that sold on ebay awhile back.
Loz!

Hatadi as a company and the switches they sold as a spare part are long gone. A tech will need to adapt one in. I know a couple that would have no trouble doing it, but if you are not in Oz the postage would be more than the price of the conversion. Post what country you are in and someone might be able to suggest a tech local to you.
I can email the documents or send them to a cyberlocker, pm me with an email address. Posting / mailing a paper copy is not practical, we are at a kalgoorlie wa, a gold mine in the middle of the desert in australia.

Ok will pm you my email address. I am in the UK near London, never heard of one of these before and we have a few cb shops but most wont have parts for this they tend to carry parts for out stand alone 40 fm channels, or sell 10m radios a lot of the dx’ers buy and convert to run on 11m. I will work out the codes (bcd for example) for the channels and then see if anything has a similar 40 ch switch and experiment. Thanks for all your help!
Sent to your email address, let me know here if you get them ok. If google/yahoo/hotmail etc eat them, I'll put them into a cyberlocker for you.
First step in conversions is to find a switch that physically fits the radio. It probably wont match electrically but an eprom or micro can be wired in as a translator so the channel indicated is on the right frequency. Good luck!
