The radio indeed is a mobile radio, designed for trunk mount usage. the control cable which used to go to the dash mounted control unit now connrcts to a home brew controller. There is an off/on switch and voume control pot and several LED's, only two of which that do any thing. There is no squelch pot, which I wish to install once I am able to ID the the rig, and find the proper schematic. I certainly appreciate all the feedback received so far. And, Yes, the rig used to belong to a local CAP squadron. de Lee K4LJP 73
