  Ivy,
  Sorry to take so long replying - had to do some things to my HD and
  took my PC offline for awhile.
  The TM-221A is a 2 meter FM radio, operating from 144 to 148 Mhz.
  Output on High is 45 watts, Low is 5 watts (according to the docs -
  this is adjustable up to 30 watts, though).
  It does have PL encode, with a DTMF keypad on the back of the
  microphone (as well as tuner up/down keys on the top of the mic).
  The radio adjusts in 5 Khz steps, 10 memory channels, selectable
  freq shift.  It is capable of PL decode with an optional board
  (which I don't have). Oh...and it does have a scan function.
  Well then....let me know what you decide.  I do have another
  interested party - but you were the first reply, so I'm giving you
  first option on it.
  I can't say for sure, I haven't had time to find out!  Doesn't seem
  like it would be TOO expensive for just the battery, though.

hi, Bob!
  Sorry it took awhile to answer...my HD required some repair this

  As you may have seen, I do have one other party interested in the

  Should they decide against it, you'll have next crack at it.  Either

 I posted netmail to him upon his first "for sale" message, told him

Write your reply.

assistant: I am unable to quote your messages because you are using all the bbs lines.
Anyway, no, neither have mikes.  When we bought these radios, we bought them
to be used on a controller that i made and had no need for microphones.  So
that saved us $5.00 each.  Mic's can be had just about anywhere for that.
Any good technition can rebuild the radio's for very little....
And, no, the controller i made was to have a timer and all the goodies added
to it under the circumstances that we got it all werking.  But since the
cavity was never obtained, the extra's to the controller was never remodeled.
And for the tiny-bit-o-nothing i'm selling this for, you couldn't expect all
that now, could ya??
The controller can be used for dual-banding.  I made one just like it
here for use to hook 2 dual band radio's to so i could cross-band any 2 freqs
i wanted and it works great!....
That's abt all i can think off to repley to ya, except for the price was
$48.00...
