Looking at one of these to use on a 148 if it is the same should work right?

SRA-fc393 is it the same as the Galaxy FC-347

Same innards as the fc-347, fc390 and others made by ranger.
Tricky part is to select the desired IF-frequency offset.
All Galaxy/Connex/RCI type radios use 10.695 MHz for AM mode.
The legal 40-channel 148 radios use 7.800 MHz.
More than a few of the various "Galaxy" branded displays had one or two (or three?) jumpers on the circuit board that served to select which arithmetic would be used to display the channel frequency. Every new internal version would be different in this respect.
Seems to me the answer is "firm maybe" until you obtain the info to set it up for the radio you want to use.

Well I bought one it says on top it works on both 7.8 and 10.695 not sure how wired in the harness to a 148GTL same deal only reads 10 something on the counter the whole counter is on the face of the box don't see any jumper locations EPT210022A on the board that goes around the outer edge of an EPT979F6A board.
I'm thinking of buying one and swapping out the blue LEDs to white to pair it with the 797.
But only one of them at a time.
Tricky part has been to find the hookup that selects which one is active. Can't be both at the same time.

Only has one six pin connector not sure how you would select with just that no switch or jumper blocks inside I see.
The jumpers in question are tiny half-circuit foil pads with a line cut between them. Solder bridged across selects one mode, leaving the circuit open across the gap selects another.
The surface mount equivalent of an old school jumper with pins.
I have completely lost track of info we had on one of several versions of the circuit board. Each version has a different setup.
