I've had an MTX for New Haven FD monitoring for ages. It was a solid radio. For a variety of reasons, inter alia illness, I did not turn it on for some time. Charged a new battery to capacity, turned it on and...WHOOPS as I write this post! Me thinks I have discovered the error of my way with the MTX. . H-m-m. As Roseanne Roseannadana used to say: "Never mind".
