I have acquired a Formac 120 radio and have found absolutely no info on this unit. It has a factory installed roger bleep in it and no provision to turn it off. i have tinkered around a bit with it trying to disable the bleep but I either also turn off receive audio or transmit audio with that. Any one have any info to share? It really is a fairly nice no frills radio, with both am/fm and 3 bands of 40 each channels. When I first wired a mic for it and got it to key and modulate it was sitting at about 15 watts dk, and backward mod to about 7. I detuned it to key 5 and it swings about 15 now, several contacts say it is as clear as a bell and loud as he77. Receive is pretty sharp, very little external noise coming in. I actually like the little radio but hate the beep all the time. |

I didn't have a lot to lose so,,,, I started touching wires on the 3 pcb mounted inside the unit. I found one post with 2 wires that hummed real nice so I disconnected it. No roger bleep and same audio as before. Kewl! Put the removed wired on theunused side of the noise blanker switch and now it's swirchable. |
