Just FYI - I did give Pietro the contact info for the MRCA should he want to join. In the past, besides the BA-41 replacement for the BC-620/BC-659, in the past he’s done inverters for the BC-611, BC-1306/GRC-9, BC-1000, and ( I think ) the PRC-8,9 and 10.  I think he could be an asset to the folks who own those radios.

Subject: Inverter guy in Italy

Rumor that the inverter guy in Sicily had passed away were greatly exaggerated!!   He isn’t nearly as active as he once was, but he’s still making a very limited supply of battery replacement inverters. His name is Pietro Noto. His email address is: [email protected]  . I recently got the last of the current batch of BA-41 battery replacements ( he said he’ll be making a few more later this summer ) from him.
