I've always considered a day at the airport to be a fun day. NOT YESTERDAY ! Cranked up the KR to fly out for breakfast with the rest of the local fliers and had no intercom. Changed batteries and still no intercom. Worked for 20 to 30 minutes to find the problem and still no intercom. C

Netters, Can anyone suggest one or more web sites, without going in to great detail, where pictures can be posted. I would like to upload a considerable number, (50+) photos like my tail light which we recently discussed. I have a web site but it is outdated and I have no idea of the pass
