Using an old RT385A as a base station.
I have an old Arc RT-385A from my Cessan 152 sitting in the closet that I'd
like to turn into a basestation. Mostly so I can listen to airplanes going by overhead. Does anyone know of an electronics kit I can buy (or make), that could provide the 28v power, a headset jack and a PTT switch? I've already built the vertical dipole antenna and I know what kind of outside cabling I'd need to make it work. I'm also pretty sure I can get a base station radio license - before I start yaking away.. -------------------- Avery Wagg, C152: C-GPOO

I do not think anyone sells a KIT for this. You can buy the mating 25
and 50 pin connector, a push button switch, a mic jack and a speaker and 28vdc power supply from several electronic supply houses. Try www.digikey.com , www.mouser.com and allied .
