I was wondering if anyone was still using one of those beasts, I am about to start my 220 project and that radio is probably the on I can have on the air the fastest.

Basically identical to a Midland 13-509. Our club has 2 on the air now & have performed well for over 25 years. Recently we did have one problem with one of the RXs: a cold solder joint on the 2nd LO (10.245 MHz) xtal. That's it. The 509's squelch leaves a bit to be desired. You can add a Micor squelch, or I have a mod to the existing squelch circuit (change 1 cap, add 1 resistor) that greatly shortens the tail (makes it sound like a G.E. MVP). Let me know if you need the latter. Bob NO6B Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
