      I vaguely remember the 3600 but wasn’t aware they had a PC897 board…Thanks for viewing the video👍

    If it was me I'd put it back to factory and launch that extra board in the green/black thing with wheels on it 🙂

      I am sure there will be someone in your locality that could have a look at it for you.
      Out of interest what is the problem?

    Nice, but I never really liked the Mk1. The Mk2 was good though even if I still prefer the PC-999 Grant for sheer performance.

    • @gtretroworld
      @gtretroworld  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was never a big fan of the Mk1 too but left alone with just a little alignment they performed really well.

      I had a few NOS Mk2 148’s too but sold them both a good few years ago for daft offers that i couldn’t say no too.
      One went to the states and the other over here somewhere.
      Thanks for watching anyway Andy👍

    Superstar 360 had the same pcb as 148 cobra, but the 360 was a better finished rig, you can do a hell of a lot with them!.. I've converted many over to ham bands with great success.

    • @gtretroworld
      @gtretroworld  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I had a few very nice boxed 360’s several years ago.A lot of folk dismissed them and went for the normally well trodden 148.
