Slightly divering topic here...
I stopped by the ICOM booth at AirVenture last week to discuss the
A-6/A-24.
I mentioned to the rep that I have an A-2 and an A-20 and wondered if I
could get a part replaced.
He said something about them being 20 years old.
I had to stop and think for a moment.
Where did the time go?
Later I bought a new, higher powered battery pack from Batteries.com to
replace the dead original CM-7.
The radio still works great.
I have so much invested in chargers and accessories, I cannot bring
myself to purchase a new handheld when the old one is perfectly
serviceable.
