Timtron once told me in a phone conversation what they used as a back-up on 9330. If what he said is correct, it was old enough to have been collecting Social Security then.

This is all proof positive of why you can't trust a radio w/o knobs Fortunately FANCO is selling them for 1000 dollars US for a package of 10. Get your's today and be on the cutting edge of communications technology!
