[AMRadio] Viking Ranger plug

[Rsauvan]

Well,
If I cant get this thing hooked up with all of these suggetions I gotta get 
outta this hobby. Many thanks for all of the suggestions. Very helpful.
I dont have any crystal sockets to try to manipulate so I might just try the 
plug the wires right in just to get it going. I like the suggestion from
Pete WA2CWA but will have to acquire the recepticle at some point in time 
but I can get it going now anyway. My HQ 180 receiver has that
same socket on the back panel for hooking up an external relay. This is 
standard for that receiver. Anyway, I should be good to go.


Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
