• Can anyone recommend a repair station for a Dittle radio?

    From Phil Umphres@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 29 16:58:17 2023
    Mine just crapped out. Still has power and I can hear the squelch on the speaker, but it neither receives nor transmits. I put a unit in from another glider to test the wiring and antenna and it worked fine so I'm confident it's the unit. Any
    suggestions?

    OOOps--I used wrong account. But Peninsula (Previously Nicks Electronics) has resurrected many radios for me and MGSA.
