I found the connectors for the back of this radio with the pins installed. What's the best way to crimp them? Is there a tool for this and where can I get one?
A good friend programmed mine. 144.390 and 145.030 for packet/APRS. I need to back off the power a bit but it works great! He disabled the TOT on mine. Has not died yet. Not a bad $5 ex-Forestry service radio. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2005 10:56 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GE Phoenix Radios as Links > Some additional thoughts... > > On second thought, I don't think it would be a good idea to disable the > timer, rather set it for 6 or 7 minutes to protect the radio.
