[JRC] Here is a serious concern

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

I was discouraged that JRC seemed to move out of radio when Radio Officers 
were eliminated on ships 31 January 1999, soon afterwards their beautiful 
telegraph key - quite an option - was eliminated.

To the best of my knowledge, this was the ONLY professional quality 
telegraph key EVER offered as an accessory.

And the receivers!  Wow.

I had a friend who had a ship radio station that was JRC equipment.  He 
thought he had died and gone to heaven.  Sure beat Scanti, SAILOR (Denmark), 
Marconi, ITT/Mackay, Debeg and others radio stations.

To the respect of the list above - they were all excellent, but had 
different strengths, the weakness of ITT/Mackay was in the quality of the WT 
(Wireless Telegraphy) (a/k/a CW) signal - it wasn't as beautiful as the 
rest - and they were all beautiful.  If you've ever heard the modulated 
continuous wave (MCW) signals from Marconi, or Sailor, or Scanti, you know 
what beauty is.

Subject: [JRC] Here is a serious concern


I would like to say something. Just reading the
comment that Bob wrote to Dale regarding the fixing of
Dale's JRC makes me feel worried on the future of the
JRC.

I have a JST-145 working very nicely and also on mint
conditions; however, what will happen when some day it
will need to be serviced? Where would I (We) go?

A similar storyame upon the old Heath's and the Swan's
and the Drakes. Some folks just dont find service for
those rigs no more or worst than that parts for them.

I wonder if "on time" Would it be better to start
getting rid of our good machines?

Better than that I think it would be a better idea if
we all as a group start looking for service people,
places that sells parts for them or share tips on who
service the JRC.

What do you folks think

Best to all
