user: You are replying to Ivy Iverson about "450 HT?".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Ivy,
        One of the many things from my mom's Estate (KB6QAR) was a couple of
Motorola HT 90 Radios, Rockbound, w/PL & Shoulder Mike, standard BNC antenna
Connects (for attaching to external antennas via coax) and 5 Watts output.
Works, has two Battery Packs, one nearly new, one Fair (about 6 hours on
standby on the Fair one, 10 on the Good one), and already tuned for the 440
MHZ Band. Current Rocks are for the 440.300 repeater splits and the 448.925
repeater splits. Current Tone is 118.8 (Jan Crystal charges $11 for the
rocks) and Many , many, many hams have and some will trade the PL "Combs" for
one you need or want.
        The one drawback to this radio is the charger for it needs one diode
replaced, and before long, the transformer. OR you can simply set a jack into
the battery pack and use a 12vdc wall bump charger, as many do. I would ask
only $25.00 + shipping for the HT & $35.00 if HT & Charger wanted. These two
radios, your choice, two channel or two channel (hihi) were manufactured in
May 1990 by Motorola.

Multi-Elmac reciever PMR-7 and Transmitter (Trans-Citer) AF-67.  I don't know

AF-67 - covers 160/80/40/20/15/10 meters, in AM/CW/NFM modes.  Has VFO and 2
xtal sockets.  10 tubes, including a pair of 6L6 modulators, and a 6146
nal.
2 small (7 pin miniature) tubes are missing...I don't know what they are.
PMR-7 Covers BCB, as well as the ham bands listed above.  It also has 10
ubes
and is complete.
These radios were apparently designed for mobile use.  I also have power
cables for both, as well as two different vibrator type power supplies.  I
think one is for the transmitter and one is for the reciever.  Somewhere, I
have manuals (reprints) for both as well.
I will give these FREE to the first person willing to pay shipping for them
