[Premium-Rx] RF-590 display

[Mark S. Holden]

Has anyone contacted Harris about ordering replacements?  

When I got my 550 a few years ago, they were still able to supply a manual - the glitch was meeting the minimum order.

On the other hand, if a few people on the list want displays, or other parts from Harris, perhaps they could pool their orders to meet the minimum.

While we're on the subject of Harris - I was talking with someone a couple weeks ago who mentioned they worked with an RF-710 receiver that was an incredible performer.  Anyone know anything about this model radio?  

Regards,

Mark
