I am in the market for a 2M car radio (nice to have dual band but not
necessary). I am open to any brand as long as it works and is in good
condition. I would like some output power and a mic that has the phone
patch ability (able to dial). One with a removable head a bonas  :-) If you
have one that you would like to sell, I would like to hear from you!

           I have also found at the bottom of the pallet of leftovers a
digital recorder/voice transmitting trigger. It is set up to record your
sound bite and transmit it again upon trigger, such as a repeater controller
might send. ----> $25.00 + shipping, complete w/ manuals.
           Also, I have a 16-channel Reel to reel Deck, that was set up for
taping and replaying the contents of black-boxes on downed aircraft. It will
simultaneously record data, voice, etc. Great for fingerprinting radios of
jammers and getting their voice on the same time synch. Makes it very easy to
prove to the FCC Boys that "Joe Cool, AD7X " is the culprit (name and call
selected at random, so if there really is a joe cool AD7X, my apologies).
