I picked up a pair of the UHF Fleetcom II's a few years ago ...
at a swapmeet or somewhere. Got them and a base station power
supply - all for $25 I think.
All is in a box in my garage - upstairs toward the east end of
the storage area as I remember. Haven't looked at them in years.
Like them or not, I have noticed over the years, the guys who use
older Johnson radios, swear by them.
