[Johnson] Johnson Viking Navigator - Dial Problem

Thu, 14 Mar 2002 10:11:35 -0500

Holy cow. 465 Couriers. I have a Courier in working condition, and I
intend to use it with a Ranger on 80 & 40. It's my last connection
with the blue glow of 866's. I have seen a few of them come across on
EBay.

I guess I'm really surprised at how low some of the numbers are. The
ones I actually SAW someplace as a teenage ham were the Viking II,
Ranger, Valiant (mostly these), one Navigator, one Thunderbolt.

I drooled over everything in the ads, of course, but not able to
afford anything until I was out of school for a while. Owned a Ranger
that needed a lot of help.

Guy.

Original chart was sent to ER by Butch Schartau, K0BS. Butch received
it
from Bill Marvin, KB9IV, who works at E. F. Johnson.
Not sure why Ranger II is not on the list unless the 11,481 Ranger's
listed include both the Ranger and Ranger II.
