The MX-385 radio in my former 152 has a serial number on the back. I'm sure that if you contact TKM and provide the serial number of your MX-300 they can tell you when it was manufactured. Also, my radio has yellow tage dated 7/1/02, so it must've been made prior to 2002.


Great detective work, Hung!

So, the radio is probably around 25 years old now! I appreciate ANYTHING working after 25 years!

I'll give it another go on the workbench and see what happens - while these are old, they are relatively simple, rugged, and parts are still available. Thanks!
