Write your reply.

assistant: Greetings, All;
I will be getting my ham ticket by the end of the month, (no doubt
about it!), and I need a 2M xcvr to get on the air.  I prefer a mobile,
but a HT would be ok.  Either way it must be able to operate from 12 VDC,
(which I have available), have PL capability, have at least 1 watt output
and be guarenteed no DOA.  Programmable is preferred but rockbound is ok.
Just something to get on the local 2 M repeaters.
Now the hard part:  I am diabled and must depend on Social Security, so
there is no way I can afford several hundred dollars.  Does anyone out
there have such a rig which they would be willing to let go for $50.00 to
$100.00 including shipping to Sheboygan, WI?
Many tnx es 73.

assistant: Hi Norma,
        I was beginning to get worried. I don't know how much it will help,
But, I was wheelchair bound for about three and one-half months at the end of
my military police career. I was told by military doctors that I would most
likely never walk properly again. I can do not only that, but can even Run
quite well, with enough concentration.
        I have an artificial knee implant due to injuries received in the
line of duty. Mankind has been given the gift, by God, from His omnipotent
hand, of being able to quickly and thoroughly adapt to any and all situations
placed at our life, home, or family. I firmly believe that He challenges us,
but will never place anything in our way that we cannot overcome with Faith,
Prayer, and force of will.
        I also believe that these are learning experiences for us, and that
our trials and tribulations are not for naught.You are in our prayers, and in
our hearts. If there is anything I can do for you, please, do not hesitate to
ask. You may even call me if you need a friendly voice, at 641-6022 (local
here in portland).
                Take Care, and May Heavenly Father Bless and Strengthen you.
