I see several threads involving this issue but I haven't yet seen if

I usually order from Digi-Key. They charge actual shipping, and I
choose USPS first class on checkout. This is somewhere around $3.50.

Someone told me that Mouser has no minimum order and charges per regular
postage rates, not high shipping and handling charges. I am going to
persue that regulator. I will let you know.

the pin out of connectors and I can do nearly anything, but now it has

When I picked up the radio on Thursday I mentioned I would use this info
as follow up. The lady at the checkout counter made some statement about
the part (regulator or something, there was a bit of a crowd) and I
thought it would be on the paperwork, but it isn't. I will follow up
