Anything worth saving is worth converting, or is it the other way?? I have plenty of 160 AM gear but if there are any small ones left over, I am interested also. Xtal control makes great mobil radio for getting local activity started. 73 All Charlie, K0NG .. Quoting Rbethman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Well, Jim is a VERY good friend of mine. That said, I'd be interested in a small number of these radios. So tell him to get that container open, and let's get them out to see light of day. You never know how many will go! Bob - N0DGN James M. Walker wrote: Mark, As for my ideas, NOTHING i

Mark, As for my ideas, NOTHING is absolutely perfect in radio or anything else. Having said that, I think that with a judicious cross section of ideas the units you describe could be resurrected in a reasonable way, to A) get them back into operation, and B) convert them to usable range for 160 wor
