Good afternoon everybody. Yeah, let's see what to talk about. My TR9000, I popped the bottom open. Closest to the mic connector, that's my 2 meter all mode 10 watt Kenwood. And I got the mic. There was no connector on the mic but it's also, it was probably wiped and they just pulled it up and sold it at his. As the radio, the eBay description said it was untested because there was no mic or power supply. So it looks really good inside and it probably runs. And the mic connector is sort of reachable. I might pull it out and wire up the 5, 4 wires and a shield or just wait until the connector comes but I think I'd rather get in there and test it and use it. Nice little heat sink on the back and it's got a slide mount for car. And yeah, it'll be a good second radio here that's running this T74. I still haven't called Kenwood to see if they fixed things in California. And I don't really want to send it to you and I have the radio again. But for the F6 that I'm holding, this diamond tri-band HT antenna works fine with it if I just don't crank it down all the way. And the adapters that I have just don't work very well at all. You've probably heard about the Pasternak enterprises that I've looked up. Boy, if you need a connector in any type, in any durability, in any frequency, in any vis-war standard of any connector type. And boy, I had no idea there were so many different kinds of connectors and materials and certifications and for optical and for coax and goodness knows what else. So check out Pasternak. Otherwise, just enjoying the afternoon outside here and transplanting a hydrangea that somebody gave me. And my fig's doing very well. And I'm still moving topsoil around up to the alley and fixing the alley potholes. It makes it dusty up there but it's a smooth diamond. So back to you and to the net. Thanks for letting me check in, Jack. KG7VEU.
