Hi guys,
Where the list is really useful is for trying to determine what serial numbers were used for which PCBs. When you post up a serial, please could you also post the PCB number (e.g. PB010AA) with the serial?
Other info, such as whether it's a Superstar 360FM with 3 sets of coils as opposed to 2, whether it was a stealth conversion etc would also be interesting.

My 148 mk1 also has MID/HI and 10m as standard . Don't know where that fits in ?

Also, when people post it would be useful to say whether it's a 148 or a 360...

So many of the mid/hi/hihi radios will have been changed over the years that there would be almost no way of guessing which was which. Getting a new Xtal cut used to be cheap and easy. I used to get them cut at AEL crystals in Stonehouse street in Plymouth. That place and time has long gone. Still, if people post it I'll record it.

I have a MK2 360FM with two frequency crystals as standard. One crystal does two bands of CB channels (mid and hi?) on the 5s, the other crystal - Hi band is totally in the ham band on zeros. As supplied - there has been absolutely no soldering going on in it.
