if the special gas escaped no:D I don't know for sure maybe MEM-TEK will chime in
Probably have to dig around and find the security key and plug that into the front of the DSP in order to restore it to full operation.
Security key did the trick.Thanks.
Totally ridiculous that MEM-TEK knew that off the top of his head! :thumb2:
Actually that is thanks to The Mighty Professor Jimbonzzz! :DQuote:

Just because it's all true doesn't mean you aren't slathering up the old bunghole. :DQuote:

Please let us know if or how well it works.
One of these days I'll have to take some pictures of the crazy old detectors that we get. It really was the wild west for detectors back in the 70s.
The DSP still works good.Not sure about the range because of the vast amount of pharmacies around town.Being that most of the local depts around here use a mix of K and Ka radar it still picks them out.
