Must have gotten it from Chris Sieg? If so, I likely fiddled around with your
radio at some point just  before he got ahold of them. You're right - he has a
lot of stuff!

Enjoy the rig and good luck looking for the matching exciter. I've seen a couple
in recent years, but they aren't what you'd think of as plentiful.
