BOB: I have a HW2036 which still works fine (it's our kitchen rig!)
The original version only covered 2 MHZ. There was a 2036A (and also
a mod kit which I installed) that came out within the first year to
provide full 4 MHZ. If you can only operate from 145 to 147 then it
was not modified and you will have to adjust the VCO to cover the
2 MHZ you need. (Let's hope the slug wasn't epoxied over - as per
the instructions!)

How do you charge them? Do you need a special power supply or something?
