[Boatanchors] SP-600 Squelch

[Bob Young]

Thanks, I already pulled it out of the radio and it was "squelched" all the way, squelch is useless to me anyway. The radio is functioning fine now and has ceramics in it, look factory. All I have to do is align the RF section. One question: why the heck didn't Hammarlund put the holes over the trimmers rather than an inch over to the left, doesn't make sense to me, I didn't see the damn things until I looked around on the web for directions.
