			<description><![CDATA[I have a couple of Ascom SE550 low band radios, which I have up and running on 70mhz/4m.<br />
So a couple of things, <br />
1) Is there a place to get the microphone connector (an odd connector) for the front, As I wanted to wire a different mic up.<br />
(I am aware of the connectors on the 15 way at the rear).<br />
2) I was reading a French site which shows a way of altering the tone of the mic via a trimmer on the underside of the rig (not the max Dev).<br />
Has anyone done this and what results did you get?<br />
Regards Chris G0say]]></description>

I have just purchased one of these sets, I understand it was manufactured between 1978 & 1982 but there is very little out there. I am looking for service manuals circuit diagrams/schematics and general alignment procedures. If anyone can help, It would be most appreciated. most forums are no help.<br />
Flying by seat of your pants trying to fix a peace of complex electronic equipment without any information is not my idea of fun. <br />
Its great when I manage to fix it without any manual or paperwork. I am good but not that good. Great to be back by the way.<br />
