HI Jim,
Were these case backs for the Yaesu vr-500 easy to install or did you have
to send the radio back to Southern California to have a Yaesu technician do
it?
Before finding this radio again I considered getting one of the newer Alinco
radios or the Icom Icr-20 but after looking over them I thought they were
needlessly complicated for what I wanted.
I find the older I get the less I want to mess with steep learning curves.
I do like my Brazilian portable. Maybe I paid too much for it at $129 but it
is certainly unique so when I saw it on Universal Radio's used list I
couldn't pass it up.
I'm getting ready to go to the CTEBVI Braille conference this week in
Burlingame, CA.
It will be nice to be out of the office for a few days and my work is paying
me to go there.
I work for the Ca Dept of Rehab as a Braille transcriber and have done so
for the last going on almost 16 years.
Can you recommend any repeaters
in the Burlingame area I can try?
If I have time before I leave next Wednesday I'll see if I can look anything
up.
Yes wireless mics are certainly fun to listen to.
When I attended various NFB conventions it was nice to listen to the narrow
fm feed for deaf blind and Spanish speakers on my Kenwood THF6A.
I was born in Lima Peru, South America so I am a native Spanish skeaker.
73,
