Write your reply.

assistant: The Motorola MX340 works perfectly fine but has some scratches and scrapes on
the metal front cover, it covers from 440 to 470 MHz, includes CTCSS and is
programmable. I'm asking $200 plus shipping, it includes 2 battery packs,
drop-in belt holster, and drop-in 1 hour rapid charger. The Maxon is pretty
well used, rounded corners, but works fine too, includes programmable CTCSS,
requires crystals for the radio. Includes wall-wart charger; but, it needs a
new battery. Asking $70 for it plus shipping. Buy 'em both for $270, I'll
ship for free.
I would be interested in the HTX-202 if it is in working condition and looks
good cosmetically (no major gouges, no damage to LCD or touchpad).
My pager number is (423) 846-7749. If you page me, be warned: I don't carry
my pager in class, so calls from 8 AM to about 4 PM will be returned after
hours.

Hi Chris. You may want to have him use an ASCII editor instead of
WordPerfect(if that is what you are referring to). WordPerfect does not
save files in a true ASCII file format, even when using the TEXT IN/OUT
