Thanks to all those who have replied. I downloaded and printed off
copies of the owners manual and the hints & tips pages. Real summer
reading!!
I bought a replacement power plug and a suitable battery for portable
usage. I also installed a new button battery and checked the fuse. I
turned it on and the receiver just works. Band conditions are shocking
so I have yet to hear many stations.
Now to buy a suitable electret microphone? Does anyone know of a
source for these items.... perhaps there's a chinese source for this
part?? I've seen suitable microphones with plugs for Icom or Yaesu
rigs but it seems a waste to buy and then cut off the plug. The
voltage might not be correct too!!
Any help would be appreciated ... I love my little brick of a radio!!!
