  May I make one humble suggestion. It might be a good idea to place some

the old one from my system and put the new one in its' place.
  By the way, do you pick up either of the echos MODERATOR or MODR8TR ? Lots
of helpful hints in there. :-)
  Just a thought. Thanks!

Subject: Shipment
Hello Blake!
I shipped out your package today from the local Mailboxes, Etc.  It will be
sent UPS Ground service, and you should be getting it on Monday, June 3rd.
The UPS tracking number is as follows:  1z 1x4 272 05 1005 747 7
It is insured, should it arrive damaged.  Everything was tested out and made
sure everything works just fine.  The x-tal for 460.475 may be receiving .375
or .575 on that radio.  Methinks it is a Bearcat crystal -- I compared with a
programmable scanner and 460.475 was not coming up on that radio.  460.125
came up fine with no problems.
If there is a problem with the shipment, let me know so I can file a claim
with UPS.  OK... talk to you later!  Good doing business with you!
