Hi, and thanks for your replies.
Aha!, so the Euro Marine only went up to 104MHz as well. Something else I hadn't spotted way back then!
Another thing that I found out was that if the plastic slider on the AC mains input was slid upwards, another pin was exposed that allowed the radio to work on 110 volts mains. It was very handy on night shifts in a power station where the maintenance supplies were 110 volts.
Thanks again,
Cheers, Pete.
