[TrunkCom] what to do with an old inoperative BC250?

[Brian J Cathcart]

Jeff you may be able to still order a replacement part for this.  I had
the same thing happen to my 250D and was able to order a new switch from
Uniden.  If they still supply parts for this model you should be able to
get one.  Then the trick is getting it installed - you may be able to
find someone locally to you to install it.  Or one of us on the list you
can ship it to.
