Hi Shaun and all,
You may contact Pete WA2CWA The Manual Man who may have one for the
Midland (no S) manual and schematic. Look up the callsign on www.qrz.com
and contact him via e-mail. Being that Midland is long gone from the ham
radio market they're hard to find but Pete has just about everything so
IMO if he doesn't have it nobody has.
In light of the above, since you're intending to press it into rough
service where reliability is paramount such an old rig is a poor choice,
especially since it looks to me it's on it's way out. I retired my
Midland 220MHz rig a couple of months ago (going deaf) for a new Alinco
with all the modern features. Not that you need all that so perhaps a
converted commercial rig made for continuous rough service is in order.
Here there are a few Motorola Micor units used as repeaters and one was
used up until a few years ago as the heart of a packet BBS.
Good luck, you'll keep packet alive because you WANT to and you'll do it
with RADIO, the word usually follows Amateur.
