How about $100 ? Although if you dont have the drsi type 2 card it wont
do you any good. The drsi-2 has a 1200 baud port and another port to
add another tnc or either the 2400 baud or 300 hf port. So if you wont
both I will take $225 and you pay the shipping. Not bad for 2 tnc's !
I have the software for these if you need them.

VOA for all their news and all they can get in that vein now is a little
5minute blurb by a local public radio station that rebroadcasts 'the
Beeb.' Coming here is a big adjustment for them and they would like
SOMETHING familiar while they adjust to US culture.  Anything I've got
is WARC band transceiver. We're not looking for anything fancy here, no
Sangeans or Grundigs, but right now we max out at about $50.00 US.

 crystaled for 806.0375 T, 851.0375 R, DPL: 071.
 The radio has no power cord and no mobile mounting bracket.
 Very clean, almost like-new except for one scuff on the bottom -
 - apparently used as a base station as it has a matching
 Motorola desk mike.
 I picked up the radio, thinking it may be recrystaled & retuned to
 the 900 MHz ham band but can get no help locally from the
 commercial shops... they all sneer "everything's trunked now" and
 seem to have no concept of ham usage.
 Will part with this radio and microphone for $50.
