What's the difference between a 742 and a 742a?
Your msg caught my eye because the TM-742a is one of the mobile rigs I'm
considering....  it comes with 2m and 1.25m or 2m and 33cm, with 10m, 6m,
1.25m, 33cm, and 23cm add-on modules available for the 3rd band.  Are we
talking about the same rigs?  (HRO's $1280 price new, with 3-bands, is why

user: You are replying to All about "WTB: Comm Type 155mhz HT's".

Write your reply.

assistant: We're in the planning stages of getting permission from the local Sheriff for
assignment of a unit number for our Community Patrol organization, so we can
communicate directly with the dispatcher (and "Yes", there will be training
sessions to teach the 'Citizens On Patrol' proper communications procedures).
Our Sheriff main dispatch is in the 155mhz band with a CTCSS of 88.5hz
It is possible to access the closest repeater site with a 5w Amateur HT, but
we need something like a couple old Motorola 2-channel 'bricks' to be type
accepted.  We *DO* need at least a full 5 watts output as there are several
hills in the area.  Equipment for consideration MUST be cabable of encoding a
88.5mhz CTCSS (PL) tone during transmit, and decoding would be nice (not
required).
Since we're a community organization, we don't have a large budget so units
with the higher price tag$ need not respond.  On the other hand, if you've
got a couple HT's in good condition gathering dust, and are willing to set a
affordable price - please let me know...   Thanks...
All the Best to you and yours,

the HTX-202.  I don't care of the brand at all as long as it will work fine.
If anyone does have one, or more, please respond here leaving the phone
number and the price it will cost.
Thanks

Write your reply.

assistant: Richard,
     i apologize for the delay in returning your message.  I still have all
seven of the HT-220's I advertised for sale.  They are crystal controlled
handi-talkies.  They are easy to tune and very forgiving.  One of the radios
is a two-channel model and the rest are single-channel models.  Three of them
have "PL".  They all have antennas (stubby-duck) but I only have one battery
pack and one drop-in charger.  If someone buys all of them (or most of them)
I will include the battery pack and charger.  From what I'm hearing it would
cost appx $30 for a crystal set, appx $30 for a new battery pack, and appx
$20 for a charger.  To get them up and running would cost a little and take a
little effort (soldering crystals).  I also have some Motorola HT-440's which
are newer model handi-talkies but they are crystal controlled as well.  I
have battery packs and antennas for those but no chargers.  They are UHF as
well.  Both of these models should drop into the 440 band with minor
retuning.  If interested, leave me a message here, send me an E-mail at
BSTUBBS@AOL.COM or call me at (409)729-0946.  Thanks.
