jrm5265

what we ended up doing was taking a dipole (coaxial) antenna and arranging it in or on a coathanger and then put something over it worked good

jrm5265

will Casey Crane please contact me I want you to make me another one of those antennas

Joe

jrm5265

jrm5265

hmm that must be for different radio/scenario

This radio does not have a display and I need the one that customer would use to add/delete chans in their scan list

I think it involves the green button on side but I forgot/cant figure out

jrm5265

Hey I need to know how to add/delete channels into HT1000 scan list its a basic HT1000 16f w/ usual abc switch on top.
