one up for US ARMY MARS. Since ARMY Mars does not REIMBURSE, I need to be
"Cheap" and go with used. Prefer under $100.00, but negotiable. Since I can
buy a "New" simple one from Link for $199, I won't go much over $100. AND,
Since it is out of pocket, The Lower the better. Same with if anyone has an
old pair of "Cans" that they want rid of for (again), as cheap as Possible,
please let me know.

Write your reply.

assistant: Yes, I still have it. I can't say if the previous owner smoked or not.
   It is in very, very good shape. I think that it was made in the early
   to mid '80's. It runs 10-14 watts output on SSB. Reduced power on FM,
   CW and AM modes. Has built in power supply for AC and includes both
   AC and DC cables.  Read-out is ANALOG, not digital. Works simplex
   pr through standard split repeaters on 146 and 147 Mhz. Simplex
   only on 144/145 mhz (this was mfd. before the 145 mhz standards were
   adopted.)  Includes original microphone and manual. Makes a great I.F.
   for the ten-tec six-meter transverter on SSB.

 This does have the antenna connector on the back but doesn't have an RF

least it used to be.) I'm using a set of Drake Twins (T4X & R4A) That were
probably new in late 1950s or early 1960s. Not the latest thing out but a
fine rig.
I don't do much DX but I remember UR2s around Estonia. Is that your QTH? Do
you do any CW? I still run some from time to time. Perhaps I'll run into you

Write your reply.

assistant: * Copied (from: drake) by Thom LaCosta using timEd 1.10+.
Hello All!
   The Drake Web Based Message board is now up for your use.  I had
planned to do the web page first, but the message board was the easiest of
the two chores.
You can participate at
http://www.baltimorenews.com/wwwboard/drake/
   Please drop in and make some posts...there's a welcome message at this
time that explains what the board's about, who hosts it, a very simple FAQ,
and
soemthing that you can use to scare away rodents, use as a scarecrow or
discourage vandals.
   It's a wide-open board...with the exception that no commercial posts are
allowed(BUT, we're happy to set up something on a 'pay' basis for folks
'In The Biz').
   While I'm in the process of putting the web page together, I'll most
likely setup a classified ad system for Drake and other Ham Radio related
equipment.
              Now, the Shameless Self Promotion Part -
   The board is hosted by Baltimore's Home Page...an online publication that
has the dubious distinction of having me as the Editor.  I'd appreciate you
looking at the publication, letting us know what you think about it...AND
if you're of a writing mind...think about some submissions for publication.
   My goal with the publication is to offer interesting content that will
cause folks to view our pages...there are tons of web pages that are fairly
devoid of content...and we'd like to be a spot where folks can visit for
information.
   I have the ability to expand the technology section in the publication in
various directions...perhaps your participation would assist me.  Don't
overlook the historical aspect of Ham Radio...I'm sure some members of this
list have been around long enough to write about things that would be
interesting to old timers and newcomers alike.
   Enjoy the board, make use of it...and think about putting your interests,
skills and recollections on the net.
