Hi, Jeff;
 
 II>Re; the 440 HT... Having a problem finding rocks for it... the durn
 II>things are soldered in!  (I was hoping for sockets)...
 
 II>ANYway, what do you know about the charger?  I bought a new 24 V 2 Amp
 II>xfmr for it and put it in, (after checking every diode in the thing -
 II>they all check good!), put in a new 1/2 A SB fuse, plugged it in and
 II>dropped tradio in it.  About 3-4 minutes later I smelled something
 II>warm - unplugged it, opened it up and out fell 2 1-watt resistors which
 II>had come unsoldered from the board!  Everything in there was so hot,
 II>(including the bottom, which serves as a heat sink), it was hard to
 II>hang onto!  SHEESH!  I pray nothing major is fried!

 JK> Ivy, if the problems become insurmountable for you, I'll take them off
 JK> your hands.  I bought the other radio from John (UPS is "storing" it
 JK> for me now) and could use another and the charger.
 
Make me an offer I can't refuse, include shipping, and you got it.  I will
be adding a charging jack to it, (the only place there's room as far as I
can see), which was planned anyway as a backup charging port, so the chgr
isn't really necessary.  I will include the origional xfmr and the one I
installed, (I think I paid about $7-8 at Rat Shack).  The original one
should still be good... Happy playing!   :-}
 
Maybe some day I will search for chargers for both the 440 and the 2M,
which I never had either charger or book for.
