[ARC5] Brass-tubing tuning-adapter.

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Wayne,

That's what I saw. I haven't looked for that yet. I'm an old guy and 
have been outside in the sun and wind scrubbing several years 
accumulation of dust and grime of the house and doing yard maintenance. 
That takes it's toll on old pharts! I have four of the BC-453/R-23 
receivers. I could put together one of each using the Vernier scale on 
one and the scale from this article on the other and compare them side 
by side in actual, on the air use.

I'm guessing a magnet isn't going to hold anything on the case <evil grin>.

73,

Bill  KU8H
