I have had this Codan sitting in my shed for nearly 30 years. The crystals are for Top End regions. I used it until I got a vehicle mounted unit. Now I have no idea what to do with it. It was the type used by
Malcolm Douglas and Les Hiddins, so is historically interesting. Any suggestions. I am in Hervey Bay nowadays.

G'day Mikee5
These radios were and still are quite a good unit, I have one and it has the most useful (in Western Australia), VKS 737 channels, though it doesn't get used too often, I do still have it as a base station when I am in some place where the auto tune antenna finds it hard to tune into a VKS station on the vehicle mounted 9323.
I use a 'Fire Cracker' wire antenna that can simply be thrown over scrub, or hoisted up into a taller tree, they might be considered to be an old relic by some, but still okay even in the 21st century.
