AL, What color is the pretty one? I understand you have a manual for the "II". Do you have a manual for the "III"? This came with 4 xtals, 144.9, 145.38, 145.5, and 147.3. That leaves 2 empty sockets. Did the Communicator II have the tuning eye or the meter? The III has a meter and a switch to use it about four different ways. 73, Roger
