Ham radio stuff update

OK... So I got the transmit crystal in the mail. It fits! However.. The radio has a spot feature that is supposed to transmit the harmonic of the crystal... NO JOY! It does not.. Does that mean the transmitter is crapped out? The only solution is to wire up a phono plug mic (groan) because the mic I got in the mail was a 3 pin mic, not a phono as I was led to believe. Anyhow, either the radio transmit and the spot feature is broke, of the crystal is bad.. Maybe this weekend will lead to a mic wiring party (groan).. Maybe this radio will just be "offed" at the Milford swap in April.. We will see.
