Thanks for your reply Dan....I am in Alaska and would ship via Pirateship.
When I last worked on it; there was audio.  The transceiver is off
frequency as is the remote VFO. I am sure the 160 meter converter would
work if the radio was on frequency.  All interconnecting cables are intact.
I am turning 80 an realize I need to eliminate those things that I once
thought I would get to, hi.

Best 73,

tom
