the radio on ebay looks nice, and would be great to have should I find the money. For now I'll have to do some swapping around and put the mobile in the shack if I can't do otherwise.
I lack the skills, and equipment, to be sure of repairs on the radio I have now. I lost the 1969 finals and a mosfet upgrade is about the only worthy replacement that I know of. I may try to tackle it, or else I'll look around for another rig. Problem is, anything I do will mean having to become accustomed to what I am experiencing on a different rig in order to get some comparison. I have an old Super Star that is the noisiest recieve I've ever had, and someone who had it before I got it screwdrivered the SSB so I can hardly stand to fool with it on both accounts, and don't want it in the mobile, either.

I am so close to .64 length it would be easy enough to go there. I will look at that closer over the next couple of days.
