A movie (80s) with a young boy on a HAM radio in the upper northwest (or even Alaska) who is helping solve a crime.. . great, great movie.. . want to find it again.. . help, please.. .

Sanjean, do you know who any of the characters were?? I have a family member that works at Hollywood Video and could have him look it up for you. Keep me posted.

Sounds a bit like FREQUENCY to me. With Dennis Quaid.

Hmm, Frequency was released in 2000. He said the movie was from the 80's.

It's not Frequency; and this movie is all time in real time (not decades earlier as in Frequency); a boy with the HAM radio is assisting a person who has witnessed a crime.. .
