Howya lads.
I use my mk1 modified with S/Star 3900 chassis every day. Has from 25 to 28.3 or something like that. I have frequency and channel readout, +10khz switch and + or - 5khz slide, UK 40 but dont use that much over here in Ireland. Also have a bog standard Mk1 that i will fix up. Looking for meters if anyone has any please!!. Any one with a mk3 out there??? :D
