Subject: HELP!! converting Glenayre commercial to ham
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
I picked up a GLENAYRE VHF rig at a recent auction for $10.00. It is model
number GL 4112A, operating on 152.xxx Mhz, and 158.XXX Mhz. The unit is
clearly a radio telephone. Unfortunately, it is missing the handset.
Unit was manufactured in 1987,
Can anyone point me towards/supply me with schematic, an owner's manual,
or a handset? I'll pay reasonable costs.
Thanks much!!

We had this problem with N1JIT's FT5200. It was cured by taking the front
panel out of the remote cradle and pressing the reset button on the back,
then bringing it back up. The CPU is massively confused, and needs a reality
check. this has only happened once in the 2 years we've owned two of these
radios. I think something odd had just happened with the car or its electrical
system or something (can't recall, it was quite a while ago).
Never fear, no permanent damage has been done...
