Kris, The 6880102W04 manual is for the UHF Syntor X9000 radio; I need the VHF version 6880102W05.
I'm not aware of any commercial graphics shop that would take on such mail-order business without charging a considerable sum for the amount of labor involved. When I take on a manual scanning task, I separate all of the pages longer than 17" (the maximum capacity of my own scanner) and send only those pages to the graphics house. While those pages are in process, I scan all other pages myself, keeping a detailed record of where all of the long pages go. Once I get the CD-ROM from the commercial scan job, I then use Adobe Acrobat Professional to assemble all of the PDFs in proper order and adjust the margins as necessary. The collation effort takes many hours (several days on a large manual) and would be very expensive if the graphics shop did that work. Suffice it to say that a *proper* copy of a large Motorola service manual, with dozens of long fold-out schematic pages in color, would cost two to four times what the original manual cost from Motorola Parts. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kris Kirby Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2009 10:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Syntor X9000 Manuals On Sat, 28 Feb 2009, Eric Lemmon wrote: > If any reader of this list has a clean and complete hard copy of the > 6880102W05 manual for the Syntor X9000 radio, please contact me > off-list.

I have a few other radio manuals as well, can you recommend a good commercial scan shop that will do "mail order" business? -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Analyst
