Being at an estate sale, it may not have been used much recently. Exercise the headphone jack several times with the headphone plug. If not that, it could be...

thanks for the link to allelectronics. I found a 9V 500ma adaptor that works just fine. Cost more to ship it than it did to buy it. Phil ... built...for an...
Hi guys.... As Hurricane Frances approaches Florida, the best station to monitor in my opinion is 14.325 USB. It is the Hurricane Watch Net, and you will hear...

Hello All, Can anyone tell me how I would go about a painless way of adding a connector to my internal ferrite antenna so that i can conect a longwire to my...
Hey Chris, Just wrap a couple of turns of wire from your antenna feed-in around the radio. Just wind it so the turns are vertical around the radio and that's ...
