Linda, A couple of observations. You wrote that one time it had failed, then you shut off the engine and shut off the radio and master switch. You then, after some interval, turned power back on (but not the engine) and it worked OK. Dang, that sure sounds like a weak component. As John Cooper said, weak components usually proceed to failure pretty quickly. I'm guessing it is replacement radio time and you've already got that in the works. Hey, guys, isn't there an actual modern, good-power-output radio that is a slide in replacement for that old brick? Besides having a bad reputation, didn't those old radios have very low power output? I remember that my Genave Alpha 200 only had a nominal output of 1.5 watts, the same as my Sporty's handheld. It might be best to go right to a new or refurbished radio even if it does require installation. (Says the guy who used a Sporty's handheld for his only radio for 10+ years.) Some of those new radios list power output as 8 watts. Ed ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
