Sears 5 Band Programming Aid / Cards
anyone know where I can get the program cards for this model ? Sears5Band Programmable Scanning Monitor 3639 934
I don't think you'll be able to find any unused cards.
If you're handy, you can do like I did and make some yourself.
Mine are made from discarded cardboard from the kitchen trash.......A saltine box, cold cereal box, and a 12-pack soda can carrier.
I created a .PDF file that has the same dimensions as the original and glued them to the brown-side of the cardboard.
Once the glue set up, I trimmed it up, then used a 1/8" long-reach paper punch to make the holes.
I think Avery makes full sheet labels if you don't want to mess with the glue, but it's a little pricey.
The punch I use is made by McGill...Number 52400.
I've made the .PDF available along with a programming aid in the form of a .TXT file. The .PDF differs from the original slightly in order to conserve printer ink / toner, and to avoid saturating the paper with ink.
I felt a .TXT was better suited than an application because it's safe, and isn't locked to a single operating system.
Even the most primitive text editors have a search function that can be used to seek frequencies, or to resolve an unlabelled punch card to reveal it's frequency.
When printing the .PDF, make sure you print it at 100% or "Scaling: None" so that it prints the correct dimensions.
The first thing to check after the page comes from the printer are the card dimensions.
The card should be 5-9/16" wide x (sightly under) 3-3/8" high.
When cutting the card, the black border should be retained as part of the card.
I would NOT recommend printing the .TXT file.......It's over 4000 lines long !
