MICOR VHF JUNK ?

Post by RonJeremy »

I have seen a lot of old Micor radios at a gov auction.

Just wondering if they still have some worth or it is junk

VHF, marine band 152 - 172 MHZ

I guess the real answer is just what your looking for.

The Micor was and still is a fine radio. Sure mother M
doesn't support them anymore. Most of the new parts
have dried up.

But if you want a real cheap radio, with only one or
two channels, that is crystal controlled they are fine.
Bear in mind the crystals will run you someplace from
$12 to $25 each.

Most public safety agencies have removed them or are
in the process of removing these radios from service.

You might find some of the real poor volunteer fire
departments still using some. However, come 2013,
even these work horses will have to go. That is when
everything must be narrowbanded.
