[TenTec] unstable Omni D display fix-problem found

[Richard Detweiler]

Might want to check out douglas at pongrance.com

 

The have a counter display with programable input so it can be installed in a older radio.

 

best of course is original equipment,  but this is an option for when you can't get the chip any more.

Best Wishes
Richard
