[R-390] Shockmount Thanks.....

[blw]

Brian,

Yes, each radio has at least one resident spider. I have a PH-56 myself and
I bet it has at least one old spider in there somewhere.

Cat pee is the preferred method of keeping spiders out of radios, if you
don't have access to geckos. (This only works on boatanchors)
