Roger Bird has chipswitched it, and has advised me how to wire the buttons, which do not require any different voltages or additional components. I have some micro button switches from Mouser, hoping to get them installed in EC-2018, DM-452 or...

    Emergency traffic

    Back in probably 1975-76 we were at my aunts cabin in Central Camp (Jeff, you probably know where this is), there was no phone system and a resident had a stroke.

    Well I sent mine off to OT03 (Denny) to get unf@#$%d and he tells me that it is performing well. USPS delivered it back to me today, but I won't be home for a few more days.

    Using PayPal

    I used f&f for many years buying/selling motorcycle parts. Got burned for $100 when I started buying cb stuff, no recourse with f&f. I did notice that when I paid a member here for service work via f&f, I did get charged a fee, hope I didn't get him screwed up...... Todd

    What kinda clothing do you wear on the air........?

    Many years ago I was talkin to an operator called herself "No Panties" with my DX350 in front of the local supermarket. When I walked into the store one of the bag boys asked me "who's No Panties" ? I had no idea that I was broadcasting over their PA system.........

    Caboverbob microphone adventure

    Been running this Telex Turner RK-56 for a couple of weeks now and I really like it. I got real used to the hanger on the SRA-198, so this is my attempt to recreate it using a #35 chain link and a 1/4" x 1/4" x #6 spacer.
