Good morning Jon, Thank you for the wonderful thoughts. Very well put. I had the old Motarola speaker left over from my years as a mobile radio install tech back in the mid 80’s and I even knew which wires to use for which install. But that’s neither here or there now since she can’t be found. Your ideas for acquisition were great and baring one making itself available that was the plan. Thanks again and have a great day! Go Astros! 73’s Jeff KF5HQE
