ALSO 'someone' (lol) told me that the Grand was a rip off of another
design that was built for the TS-520 and the TS-820.. Anyone know of any
displays that were built for these radios back then?

I am not sure what radio that it actually hooks up to. I will have to
hope some of the old timers out there remember this Jewel and can come
up with some answers. I am also wondering if It could me modified to
fit other radios since it just seems to need 2-3v sine wave to make the
Freq Counter / Digital display to work...


Thanks again!!

Labelling things as a rip-off is somewhat subjective. There's 'x'
number of ways to measure a frequency and if one circuit resembles
another then any similarities shouldn't be a surprise. Jeez, how many
different models of AA5 radios are there out there all using the same
basic topology?

As I suggested in the previous post I gather that the unit was a
one-size-fits-all type of display that could work with many different
radios. That would be the rationale for the three inputs.
