Can anyone please tell me what kind of replacement bulb I should use. I
called Uniden Parts department and they said they would have to e-mail
a tech and they would get back to me in 48 hours, although she didn't
seem confident they would have them. I figured it might be
cheaper/easier to replace the meter itself but they said the
replacemnet meter did not come with the bulb!

The schematics (found at www.cbtricks.com) lists it as "PL501 Meter
Lamp", but unfortunately that doesn't mean anything to me.

I guess if all else fails I could put a multi-meter on the two leads
and take a guess at the proper bulb? My local Radio Shack had an
assortment of 12v, 6v and 1.5v mini lamps, not sure if any of those
would be appropriate.

Thanks for any help.
