These were with a recent 39BOL purchase. Thought the red backing plate would add a nice twist to the BOL. Ive not seen such on a pointer though someone likely purchased this pair together. Some have…Continue

My presumption is it was original to that particular Scott radio. Scott being a custom set builder might substitute a color other than green as requested."

Sometimes I have noticed that uploading images can be a little weird, the box appears to show that it's uploading, but doesn't go away, try logging out and back in again,
could be worse you could be running windoze.
