By the white power plug, there might be a small white sticker. That sticker should have the 71xx model number. On the botton of the black case, there should be a 1" x 1.5" sticker, this will have the FCC ID and the Serial number.... the last 4 digits of the FCC number is the basic model series ( IE 7172 when its knowingly on a 7183 PLUS 2 Radio ), the first 4 digits of the serial number is the actual model number. Sometimes that big sticker disapears, but the white label remains. When all else fails, pop the hood.... open up the case by removing the knobs and the 2 black screws on the case. Slide the case forward. Now remove the 5 screws holding the audio logic board, lift gently, it's still attached. There should be a small white label somewhere on the main chassis board with the model number. From Dave N9NLU
