Hi guys.

I have just been given a Wagner HF SSB radio, model 1829 MR, and I am
looking for anywhere I can buy parts or download a manual for it.

The radio works fine, but it needs a mic and antenna.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have never heard of that brand of radio, Garry. Is it intended for
amateur use, or a general HF rig?

Hi Ed.

It has marine channels installed and I do hope to use it in my boat (Yes I
do have the licences for it) so I dare say it is a marine HF SSB.

Apparently they were a very good brand in their day, but they are getting
old now.

Best regards

Garry


Don't know where you live, but if you are in the USA, you should check
the FCC to make sure that radio is Type Accepted for NEW Installations
on US Flagged Vessels. There are a LOT of older Marine Radios that do
NOT now meet the Technical Specs of todays Type Acceptance Certification
and therefore can NOT be Fitted. The can still be used, IF they were
installed before the Cutoff Date, for their Type Acceptance Expired,
under the GrandFathering Clause.
