Who has the best service? I got a quote from Jan for a 40.900 mc crystal for my HB 444/25 or $35.00 plus $10.00 shipping, the shipping seems too high for a simple crystal. I sent ICM an email for the same crystal but i havent heard back yet.

I think that I have two of them (non-working), in the garage. I think that they say 444/25A. ..I'm looking for a 16.150 xtal for my Sonar FS-23. (This is one of the better old school radio for audio & receive. ..Looks like a Collins or Ft-101).

But evidently they didn't make/sell as many 444/25's as they did Comstat 25's....... |

Yes mine has the A and B channels. Its a sweet old rig, but it wont do anything on ch 1 to 4.
Whats really cool is the middle part with the lettering glows a soft green. A very cool old rig!!

I called Kens. He has some new guy working up there that i assume is a ham as when i mentioned "old Lafayette CB" he acted a little put off about it. He said something about not wanting to deal with CB radios and to call back when Ken was there. The guy didnt act like he really wanted to help me.. :-(

Ken is useless. He is so old, he should have sold the store to someone able to manage it. He was great in his day, but the last several years, he is just disorganized. I place an internet order, and after 3 followups as to when it was shipping, he had no clue each time I call. He didn't recall the previous call. Here is an eham article on him: www.eham.net/ehamforum/smf/index.php/topic,65113.0.html |
