assistant: Hi, Jeff;
You should have recveived it by now, as it was Snailed last Monday or
Tuesday.
I believe that the 2 resistors which cooked and fell off the board may be
missing.  I looked for them but couldn't locate them.  (Apparently they
fell out when I had it on the shelf with several other items).  I hope
you can find service literature on it, since both resistors were so cooked
that the value could not be determined either with an ohmmeter or by
reading the color code.
Catch you later... Good luck!

You may as well forget it, Bruce. Mccurdy has posted a *lot* of things
for sale here. In the past he has replied (sometimes) to inquirers that
he would *only* sell locally (Houston) but then he continues to post in
this international echo. Now, it would appear, he has changed his mind
(again <g>) about "local" sales. I have tried him on his (alleged) BBS
and by direct (voice) phone about one of the things he posted in the
past and *never* was able to reach him or get a reply on FIDO, other
than "I only sell locally". As a result *I*, frankly, wouldn't buy
*anything* from him. Your mileage may vary......(but I wouldn't bet on
it!)

wish you'd have packed it better though.  A couple inches of packing
material on each side is standard, and might have kept the mounting post
(where the screw goes to hold it together) from breaking when they
dropped the box.  It looks like I'm going to have to buy the manuals
from Motorola (expen$ive), since I'm not having any luck finding them

assistant: Hi, Jeff;
Heh heh... FidoNet was a lot faster than the Snail this time... you
posted your msg on 9/8 and it arrived the morning of 9/22!  I guess
Fido must have gotten constipated again.   :-/
I am terrably sorry about that.  I discovered, however, why it cooked:
BOTH of the battery packs are shorted!  One is a dead short and the other
only has about 1 volt after being charged for about 15 minutes at 600 MA!
And I was only trying to charge one, not both at once.  I can't understand
why the fuse didn't blow!  Oh well, back to the drawing board, I guess.
:-[
I'm very sorry about that, too.  The only boxes I have are many times
the size of the charger, so I had to make one, (as you could tell),
and I am (obviously) not an expert packer.  I did pack it as solid as I
could with popcorn, and thought that it would travel ok that way.  I am
very sorry that it didn't.
If you can't find them here, you might try to CLASSIFIED echo.
I know what you mean about getting an inexpensive radio on the air.  I was
really lucky with the HF that I got from John Jewkes.  All it needed was a
little alignment and an antenna and it was on the air.  The 440 HT,
however... when I feed it 12 V through the charging jack I added it seems
to work ok, though I still haven't succeeded in getting crystals for the
local repeaters for it.  But when I put one of the battery packs on...
zilch.  Oh well, live and learn, I guess.   :-<
