Yeah I think I would just like to get them to work as they should or were designed to. I think I would then sell them as i do have a k3 for 50 and an IC910 H for 144.

They were for the 50, 144, and 220 MHz bands. I sold the 50MHz unit once I had a K3 that covered that band, loaned the 220 MHz unit to a friend who does VHF rovering, and eventually got around to using the 2M unit myself. The few times I used the 220 MHz unit in Chicago and later the 144 MHz unit here in W6, I found them varying degrees of unstable. It didn't take much to figure out why. They were built with Pin One Problems -- all the I/O is via BNCs that are insulated from the shielding enclosure! I have no idea what they're doing now, but I don't recommend those that I owned. 73, Jim K9YC On 7/8/2020 5:10 PM, Joseph McIntire wrote: > I have two I need some help with neither one works or ever did.
