my meters are fried and i want new ones, the one person sellingt hem on ebay is a total scam, and i like the pics i keep seeing of a white meter upgrade but cannot seem to find part numbers, and also ranger meters that are upside down. anyone know?
 

The 'white ones' are nothing more than new inserts in an old meter that can be bought from Gamma-ray Graphics. Bought them from him before.

The meters themselves can also be fixed if they are stuck. But don't try it unless you watch a few youtube videos on the do's and don'ts - first. You only get one shot.

I used to have a PDC that did the stuck needle thing - so I redid the graphic - and called it my PITA meter.

Shoot I used to have some "grainy" (640 X 480) graphics of the re-do.

The needles - "scraped" the decal - like it had a bubble. So that is why the rework.

Did you check the 2000? These things used those "grain of wheat" bulbs that can heat up like a filament of a tube. Has been known to soften plastic and even loosen the decals backing from the diffuser and backplate.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
