Thank you. In fact, I'm looking at the radio now with the lid off. I got the top cover off, bottom cover off of my... I bought a Kenwood TR9000. It's a 309,000, which is a 2-meter, all-mode, 10-watt or 1-watt, transceiver. It's nice. It's got a key input in the back and it does side bands and two modes of FM and, you know, two bandwidths and a real S-meter. And I bought a mic as is too with the connector chopped off. Talked about the parts yesterday finally. Getting a new F6 for this thing, antenna connector, this buggy little F-E connector. It's got a pin stuck in it. So I better... I'm gonna change it when I get some SMT rework equipment. They're only half the price on eBay. But this thing here, yeah, I got to expose six wires on that mic connector and get this thing running. It's... It isn't the standard mic, but it should work. It's got probably the same color setup on it. It looks like the same number of wires. But it's... And it's got a full key band on the back. But this should be nice. I wanted to... I've always wanted to do some side band on 2-meters so I could kind of see how I could get out of here. I got a five-element Yagi and a tri-band ground plane up there. It's higher than the house because I'm on uneven land. And so yeah, it's... Yeah, I want to get this thing running. It should run. I bought it as is, but they couldn't... They sold it because they did... They untested because they didn't have a mic or a power supply. Well, and it looks really good inside. So it probably works. Back to you.
