[Premium-Rx] Help needed with RA3791

[Paul]

Sorry for the delays in list administration, but am in the process of moving, and my internet access is limited.  Things should be caught up to date by mid next week.

Moving the radios is one thing, BUT THE CABLES!  OMG: i never realized there were so many cables and switches associated with these radios!

Thanks & vy 73,

-Paul  W8ZO
