assistant: Thanks will keep you in mind, I have had a chance to look at it now. It
has been in for a EST. see the shop sticker on it, but no diag. notes on
it. When power is applyed it turns on for a fraction of a sec., and then
everytime you push the power button, the samething happens everything
lights up and you hear the audio for a frac. of a sec. then it go's off.
one of the surface mount chips on the face plate has a little metal
bracket that go's over it with foam under it, and it is open (split) and
bent up a little on one side. I sure that it was diag. properly, and
needs a new face plate circuit, now I just need to find one, any
suggestions? Thanks, N1IUZ....................

and a simple Packet modem (IE: Baycom BP4, or an older KAM or Centron), I
already have an 8088 modified for it. (Has Hard drive) so doesn't need to be
a Memory resident TNC, just a basic TNC will do.

Write your reply.

assistant: * In a message originally sent to Donald Durel, Douglas Brier stated:
Uh, Doug ----
EX was not the last in the line.
The 101E (single E) = included speech processor, all crystals for 10 meters
(coverage between 28.0 through 30.0)
The 101EE (double E) = same as the single E but without the speech processor
The 101EX (EX) = some of the 10M crystals not supplied.  Also, it ONLY had AC
power capability (the E and EE could run on 13,8 DC, the EX cannot - E/EE had
AC and DC power capability)
There was an 'F' line which had some design improvements but wasn't around.
In it's day the 101EE could be had for around $650 retail, the E model for
around $50 more, the EX for $50 less.

Write your reply.

assistant: Really!?  Wow.  Guess I'm somewhat in luck then.  I've got a pair of
programmable MX350's(though the Prom's are only programmable once) that
are in excellent condition with brand new batteries(the smaller ones)
and a quick charger. They are UHF with a max of 5W output with the
output programmable but not manually switchable by myself.
Right now I'm deciding to either reprogram them in the GMRS freq's I
need, which I wouldn't be changing anytime soon, since they are Motorola
and damn solid radios (built like a brick!<G>), OR go and buy a pair of
Maxon GMRS radios, which go for about $180-200 each.  The only thing I
can think of against the Motorola's are that (A) if I do need them
reprogrammed in the future I'd need to spend another $110-120 for each
and also that I'd like a scanning feature, like the Saber's have.  Other
than that, I know the Motorola's are still good radios, though these are
a bit old.  The thought of accidentally dropping one of the Motorola's
or one of the Maxon's, or another.....say Ham, radio........I think the
Motorola would still work while the other, mostly plastic, radios would
have less of a chance on working correctly.  I like the fact that the
Motorola's _feel_ solid and I know of their reputation.
.....guess I'll probably go with reprogramming them.   Ahhh...decisions,
decisions. <G>
