Friends,

Think that our membership isn't GREAT & that they don't help others, when one of us needs something ODD & "hard to find"??

One of our GREAT members is sending me a perfectly suitable (I believe) laptop for FREE to reprogram the radios.
(I'm going to do something NICE for him & REAL soon.)

THANKS Friend.

yours, satx

To All,

IF you want a BETTER radio for VHF than you can buy new (presuming that my reprogramming works & I believe it will) get your nickels & dimes together as including freight from Indiana, I'm likely to have some FIFTY, 296 channel, 110W two-meter radios, that if "turned down" to 50Watts out-put, will likely outlast all of us for LESS than 50 bucks each.
(The GE ORION is truly a workhorse in the most taxing of service at fire departments, hospital & police agencies.)

Fwiw, as a "Storm Rescue & Recovery guy", I would prefer that these radios go to volunteers in rescue/recovery, FIRST.

yours, satx.

Out of luck. Mine is a 2086 (I think). I thought maybe since I bought it in 2005.

deemus, et. al.,

One of our GREAT members mailed an old-school Panasonic "barely 486" to me, which I received this afternoon, so I'm GOOD TO GO.
(Now all that I need is a Midland programming cable, which I suspect that I'll soon find.)

THANKS to ALL who contributed to this thread.

To All,

The converted to 2M MIDLAND 70-1342B arrived this afternoon but WITHOUT the mobile mounting bracket. - Ed couldn't find it & thinks that it was pitched out with the county's scrap metal recycling project.

IF anyone has one in their junk box, I would be a BUYER to keep from having to make one.

Try making your own from sheet aluminum from Lowes. Dad made a custom radio rack in his car like that.

sucker76,

Having to MAKE a bracket is what I'm precisely trying to avoid doing.
