scott,

You could solder a jumper across the two pins as a last resort. Just a suggestion.

hello tech 181 i just sent you another email to copper because i didnt see this reply . if i solder a wire (jumper) what size wire do i use. should it be insulated or big enough to with stand heat or dont the pins get warm. and do you know if i can by just a jumper from you guys or a radio store. thanks again . scott. P>S keep up the good work you do a great job at helping all of us out . also another ? what ranger or rci base station radio would be the most logical to by for a base station . which ones can be converted like the 2950 mobile can be . i dont want to solder a jumper in the base if i dont have to . i would like to find a radio that has alot of out put and is as easy as moving a jumper. thanks again for your help. scott

Use a jumper as small of wire that you can get. Remember not to use "to" much heat on it when soldering , Just enough to flow the solder.

307,

Can you use one of those black clips that are on computer mother boards? If so you can find those at computer shows cheap.

A cordless telephone battery terminal makes a good jumper. Just cut the leads and leave a inch or so of the wires so you can solder them together and heat shrink them. I used that one my Galaxy 22 -B years ago and works fine.
I am still needing talkback in my General Grant(its like the Ranger 6300 & 6900 series) Thanks guys
