Hi
thanks for rthe info. Yes it is getting hold of gear in the UK, and of
course postage frm the USA.
I will be running the Rangr tx at only 20w with a time out of about 5 mins,
so the PA should be OK. Have you any ideas about getting a service manual as
I will need to know were rx audio comes out etc
