[Motorola] MT1000 Replacement VHF Antenna

[Dennis Wade]

Thank you Eric,

     Apparently I was sold a Canadian radio.  I assume that's not a
problem as long as I keep it in the amateur band.

       The model number is:

          ACH43GCJ7190CN

     I typed a zero...but I suppose it might be an "O".

            Dennis
