I finally got over to see the neighbour Saturday, and picked up the HF radio.
I'll take some pics of it tonight, and send them to you, if you can shoot me an
email address.  It looks to be in good nick.

Is there any such thing as a 12v timer, similar to a turbo timer, that will
keep something running for a preset time once the vehicle is turned off?

I've just bought a demo Nissan Pathfinder and the After Market Manager
heavied my about spending a huge amount of money for paint protection and
fabric protection.  I'm resisting until I can find out more about them.
Are these worth the money?  Any experience with these ...
