No luck on that model Koden here, had some 3400 series stuff though. Try a
Sitex shop...they may have the Koden info.

Speaking of Bill Pulse...he bought up at the EchoTec remnants, drawings,
parts, etc., and now does flat rate repair on them from his firm Radar
Marine in Bellingham, WA.

Did you ever know Bill Halleck, Portland FCC Engineer in Charge? He retired
in the late 50s or early 60s.

What, you taped yours to a diddle stick??? We always just held them
in our fingers out in front of the waveguide flange..... Well not on
40Kw Decca 404's.... but all the rest.....

Hmmm, sounds like an old timer....The really good techs came from
Northern Radio, Radar Electric, and Raytheon Marine back in the 60's and
70's. I am an old Northern Man, and one of the few "Old Boys" left.
Don Hollingsworth Sr. is still around at G & L Marine, and he is a
Raytheon transplant. Billy Pulse came from the end of the era Radar
Electric shop. That's about it for that generation, that still practice
the "Art" of Marine Electronics. Same with the "Regulators". (FCC)
After the closing of RegionX in Kirkland, there just isn't anyone left
that really understands the Marine Mobile Radio Service. Bob Dietch,
Bob Zenes, Gary Solsby, Bill Johnson, and even Denny Anderson have all
retired.


Me getting old is a Bitch......all the good guys just die off....
