I am happy that you got the unit running ok. I just ordered some of those
switches from Digi-Key. When I receive the order, I will forward the part
number on the NG. The switches are only 95 cents each...........manufacturer
is ITT.

I just wanted to publicly thank Lucky, Steve, Dale and most especially
Pete, KE9OA who offered to help me when I thought I had a serious set of
issues with my radio. Turned out that, despite what the manual might
indicate, I need to power my radio with a 500mAh power supply as opposed
to the 300mAh I was using. Once properly powered the radio works
wonderfully. Anyway, my point is that, despite the off topic and often
incoherent ramblings on this newsgroup, there are knowledgeable,
intelligent people willing to help when asked.

Thank you all again.

Hi John

I'm really glad you fixed the problem. Pretty good going. Yes I'm using a
Radio Shack 500mAH 12v myself. No wonder the radio's mode buttons weren't
responding right. I like it when things work out for people. Life is hard
enough as it is. Enjoy yourself now John.
