Hello do you still have the book to program the cards ?
the cards you have the stickers still hold in place good, so not to come off when pulling the card out ?
how much $
ko6jt, bob :P

Cool! I got a book with mine... Good thing as the truth chart is a must if you want it to work right. Any opaque paper or plastic sheet cut to the right size should work as a "card", then just punch holes to allow light to pass
through where it is supposed to...

But if all you have is clear or translucent stuff, one could "opaque" with electrical tape then slice holes in the tape with a razor knife and remove where you want light to pass through...

Still a pretty slick way to quickly load 10 frequencies into a radio though, at least once you got your cards "programmed" :bowrofl:

Think of all the optocouplers in there :mrgreen:

Wish I had the money, this would look great in my collection.
Someone should buy this, it's a great collectable.

haha

yes that is a interesting one, I had a old VCR that used that idea to program shows, fun in a scanner
