For whatever reason, I didn't initially receive the responses from KD8BTQ
and K0UYA and discovered them embedded when someone posted a digest
response.
Thanks for the info Paul and Ralph. Have either of you (or anybody else)
actually mounted one of those speakers in a 961 or 962? How much
modification needs to be done to mount one of those 4" speakers - I assume
they don't just fit the old threads.
Thanks & 73,
Barry N1EU
