Your generous offer of adoption will be kept under advisement.

Well, no. In fact, no two seem the same -- except that TH-28A and TH-78A (I have one of those too) use the same batteries, so probably same wallwarts too.

I have an old IC-02AT that seems to have lost its mind (I suspect the internal memory battery has died). Also an IC-04AT that seems OK. Not to mention an IC-A20 that's banging around here someplace if I can find it. And, to go with them, some batteries, a case for alkalines, and a BC-35 battery charger. They would all complement your 02AT nicely. I need the storage space (all RV full-timers need storage space). If you have a use for them, send me an e-mail with your shipping address and you get'em at the best possible price -- $0.00. Just can't bring myself to send them to the landfill. Consider them a donation to ORR.

If you don't have use for them, I extend the offer to any other ORR folks, whoever does have a use. But you get first dibs. Free shipping, too!

Oh yeah, service manuals too.
