Sure sounds like RF was getting in to it, to me! G.W.

Raymond- I had the HR-2A back in the 70s. It was one of the early solid-state Two Meter rigs. I don't think I have the exact information you need, but thought I would pass along some recollections. I spent a LOT of hours working on the HR-2A (and HR-6). If you have any specific questions, I might be able to recall something that would help. 73, Fred, K4DII Thanks Fred! Sure appreciate the info. Tried an impromptu test here the other night, seems that every time I the rig tried to connect to my test rig (laptop with baycom modem), it would trigger a restart on the TNC. Hmmm, think maybe the fact that my test antenna was a 1/4 wave vertical stuck to the back of the HR-2A with the TNC right on top of the radio had much to do with it? Tonight I try plugging one of the outdoor antennas into the Regency! Raymond Sirois KU2S SysOp: The Lost Chord BBS 607-733-5745 telnet://thelostchord.dns2go.com:6000 |

Now all I've gotta do is find a set of crystals for the stupid thing. Couldn't locate the Jan's Crystals website. PLEASE don't tell me they went out of business... Any idea where I could set a set of crystals for this thing? Raymond Sirois KU2S SysOp: The Lost Chord BBS 607-733-5745 telnet://thelostchord.dns2go.com:6000 |

It's not much of a website, but it would seem to be http://www.jancrystals.com But that is an assumption. It shows up in a websearch, and the URL would seem to fit and they do make crystals, but I don't see an address to verify that it's the same crystal. Michael |

I recognize the logo. Mea culpa, I was searching for JANS crystals, not JAN crystals. that extra S sure threw things off in the search engine. Thanks to all!
