assistant: Hi All,
        I have a Dentron HF-200-A HF 10-80. I am A M.A.R.S. Member as well as
a ham. Long story shortened: My Nephew did some bad things to it's innards
while I was out of Town, and he came to visit. I do Not have the Manual
(Other than the first three pages in photostatic form), and need to come up
with a manual to know what to do to fix it, as most of the parts that need
fixed have PROPRIETARY numbers on them, and since Dentron went out of biz
some time ago, I cannot get the info from them.
                                --OR:--
        I need a mars modified or modifiable HF Rig With at least 15,20,40,80
coverage and SSB as well as CW capabilities. I would pay for copying and
mailing on the Manual, and would like to pay UNDER $200.00 for the Rig, if it
comes to that.
        HOPEFULLY, someone out there has a copy of the manual, as that would
be the cheapest way to go. (OF COURSE). Pref on if I do buy a rig: That it
have precise tuning (IE: digital Frequency Display -or- VERY accurate Dial).

Write your reply.

assistant: _If you have an amateur radio license_, I know where one can get a good
used 2m handitalkie for $130.
  If you don't have one, go to your closest Radio Shack, buy the book "Now
You're Talking!" for $17, study it, take a Volunteer Exam test for $6.25,
pass the two written tests, wait a week or so to receive your license, THEN
we'll talk.
  No amateur license, no amateur radio. Comprende?
  Good luck!
