My volunteer fire department recently acquired a half-dozen VHF Spectra P-25 Astros (D04KKFP9W5AN & W5 remote head) from GSA Surplus. Perfect radios for the emergency-response command and control trailer we are putting together as time and budget allows ... if only GSA had bothered to include the head/deck cable and accessory/speaker cables.
Based on GSA's advertised model ("D04") I assumed these were complete dash mount radios. That was my first mistake- these are remote head. I happened to have a single HKN4356B take-out cable buried in my shop collection, but we are looking for at least five more. OR the internal W5 to radio pieces and 3080091M01 accessory/speaker cable that would let me convert these back into dash-mount radios.
Hat in hand begging: since we are financing this project from our "Fish-Fry" fund, does anyone have a box of obsolete stuff cluttering up their shop they would like to be rid of? Or trade for assorted Midland VHF Syntors and parts, or any of the other relics stashed away in the back of my shop?
