    I cannot do the math

    I have tried and I cannot reteach myself the math. Hopefully, someone on here can. If you have two aluminum tubes. Each one is 38 inches long. If you connect the end of each one to the other and separate them at the other end by 120 degrees, what is the distance in inches between the ends of the...

    Super scanner

    I have looked through the manual but it doesn't give enough data to be able to ascertain the distance between the three radials. The reason I need that is I am using that as a base figure for a beam that I am designing and building.

    Midland 79-290

    I know this is a very old discussion but I'm hoping Sonoma is still on here. I have search the web for alignment procedures for the Midland 79 dash 290 and cannot find it anywhere. Sonoma, I hope you're still there buddy. I need your help.

    IC8

    I am sure that it is the same chip. However, no schematic actually shows that device in the circuit for a dx959 or 979

    IC8

    Must be. That's the same number I came up with from RF parts. The schematic shows a different ic chip with more pins. But the 2003 L is the one. The one in the radio is labeled 2004 no numbers no letters before or after that.

    IC8

    I am trying to figure out what the part number is for IC 8 in a galaxy 959 or a galaxy 979, or a connex Saturn CX - 33. These have five pens/legs going to the board. However, all schematic show a ten pin, different device. I need to know what this is so I can order some more. Anyone have an idea?
