so accused by this Warren fellow. Wow, I ask for a radio and look what
happens! Sorry. I was thinking of Ham Radio as a hobby but I think I'll
wait until there are a few less knee jerks and a few more nice guys.
Thanks again to those who helped. You've set a good example. I hope

assistant: I don't care if he wanted it for work. He indicaitrd he
        wanted the radio for commercial use. He also expressed his
        desire to have one that was frequrncy agil, So he could program
        said radio from the front panel, to whatever frequency he wanted.
         He did not request a FCC type accepted radio for this commercial
        Application. Useing a radio described above, on a commercial
        Frequency, Requiering FCC type acceptance, IS ILLEGAL.

assistant: Once again, I ask that the thread concerning the commercial radios,
and the sale of them to a private individual, or the type
acceptance of them, END NOW.
I have asked politely, and recieved some very nice and polite
replies VIA netmail.  However, a recent NETMAIL post of mine,
that was sent as a gentle warning to a echo participant, was
reposted as if I originated it in the public echo.
Those of who have been around for a while, know that I prefer
to do the moderation in NETMAIL, and look very poorly on the
stunt that was done by this reposter.
That stops NOW also.
This is the final warning.  Thank you in advance for your
cooperation.

user: You are replying to All about "Need Crystals for Aerocomm, spare parts 17:10:5006/11/97".

Write your reply.

assistant: Looking for crystals for a radio made by Aerotron called the Aerocomm
Six. Last estimate I heard new was a painful $20/pair. Would like to find
anyone who might have surplus crystals suitable for it. I've been asked if
they're "divider crystals" or something like that, but its been so -very-
long since I was "up" on crystals that I have no idea how to find out. Each
of my present crystals has a frequency stamped on its case which is identical
to the desired output frequency, not a sub-multiple or anything. Ideally, I'd
like to find any/all of the following frequencies for it: 145.02, 146.52 and
147.57 simplex and any of the following repeaters: 147.28, 147.38, 146.80,
146.68, 146.72, 147.100. Any help appreciated. And if you have one of these
radios and need parts, let me know. Also have quite a bit of tech service
material for them. Will also have to add a PL (subaudible tone) encoder
generating 146.2 Hz, so an inexpensive external kit or schematic using common
parts would be very welcome. Our entire repeater association uses this same
PL tone, so even a single-frequency encoder circuit would be fine.

was at.  Your training session of two weeks ago was replayed on the
FMASSN repeater (146.760) this past Sunday.at 7:30 Pm.  I listened to
it, and it was quite a good session.  Will you be ready to give us a
crime watch session soon?  Would Rocky Moore like to come on and tell us
about the 911 system?  We got together with Carl and he is sending
letters to all the Police Cheifs to explain what we can do in case of
another disaster, whatever it may be.  We are also working on an
identifiable piece of clothing we can wear.  Coral Gables hams have a
yellow shirt with suitable I.D. on them.  Can I get some Written
information about that civilian police training school?  Best regards'
