Looking for a direct replacement radio. I know nothing about these and had never used one previously. I was told it is obsolete and that I probably ruined it by keying the mic without the antenna attached.

Take it to PCI and see if they can fix it. That's a Vertex radio...might be worth it, might not, but PCI is the better option. The older radios were the better quality ones...over the chineesium stuff. Pci probably sells a radio that size.

PCI programed my Vertex 3200 years ago, still the strongest radio in the group.

Thanks. A fellow duner said they had sent one in for repairs a while back, and nobody would even mess with it. There are a few on Market Place in my area, but they are asking $500.00 to $550.00.

PCI wouldn't look at it?

I have one that I pulled from my buggy, works well.  Had been in the car for 8 years.  Will sell for $250.00.
