I am interested in your scanner. What is its condition? Do you have the
original box? Are you the original owner? Has it been "opened up"?
I tried to call your ham BBS this AM but could not get a connect in two
tries.
Do you have a voice phone number? What is it? I would like to talk to
you about the scanner. Or....call me at (918) 492-1630, daytime. After
5:30 PM or so won't answer the phone and let the answering machine get
it. So if you do call, do it in the daytime. Mornings are better for
