er than
the stock. I used plastic standoffs from a repeater cabinet for the insulators.
I put them up against the stock board post and cut the new standoffs ,worked
well. New display came with ribbon cable tried to cut and separate but no luck
there. So removed ribbon cable . Soldered 14 bread board wires about 5 inches
long to the display. This was not easy , difficult for even a good tech, just
so small . I checked the connections and found pin 5 v+ wasn't soldered ! Must
of flew right by it .hihi Bought 90 pcb connector cut to 14 pins ,simple.
Soldered 14 wires from display to each pin not to bad . Trimmed the 14 stud
post off of cpu board so that 90 deg plug mates flat on board. Need all the
clearance you can get. Everything else is just putting back together. You will
probably have to adjust contrast control (it's on bottom of radio) Happy with
it ? I like the original better but this gets the radio back on air. When I get
some more time probably will download N4py software fore
the
Orion. Hope this helps if anyone has a bad display. 73s AC9PA Byron Sent from
