assistant: Bill Rister wrote in a message to Darrell Derrick:
I have a stack of Motorola Micors which operate in the low VHF range and
which should be workable on 6m.  I originally acquired these in hopes of
making them the basis for a 6m TCP/IP packet backbone in New England, but
that never materialized.  I might be talked into selling a couple to you,
although I'm not sure you really want to pay the shipping costs; Micors are
not light.  As far as I know, they all have at least one crystal element, but
not on 6m.

I can answer that for you off the top of my head.  The SB-201 is the same as
the SB-200 with the 10 meter capability *removed* to comply with FCC rules
changes.  This involved removing one of the taps on the tank coil and one
position on the band switch legend.  Many people promptly converted their
SB-201 back into an SB-200 on their own.

application if you have a base station power supply, either the EP38-A10 or
EP38-A12 and a duplexer or separate antennas. They are mobile units with the
strips mounted in the mobile power supply. The RCA units are mobiles also.

assistant: You can call me at 215-339-2406 during business hours. If you call I can call
you right back to save you the toll.
The MX-340 is capable of 440-470 Mhz. The HT-600 is 438-470 Mhz (I believe).
The MX requires installing xtals in the TCXO elements or buying the TCXO's
already rocked up. The HT-600 can be programmed by anyone who has the RIB and
software on a PC along with the proper cables. Ant radio service shop should
be able to do that for a nominal fee.
The MX's would need new battery packs. The HT-600 has an old battery that is
on its way out but would get you running to start.
Yes.
Avaliable either from Shinwa or Int'l Xtal Manufacting. You would need to
order and install the xtal. Some re-tuning would have to be done.
I don't think it will go below 150 Mhz. I think it is 150-170 Mhz. It is
beyboard programmable. Not as easy as it sounds; you have to install a jumper
and place it in the 'program' mode. When you are done you put the cover back
on and the keyboard becomes the channel selector.

Write your reply.

assistant: I have 2 MAXON  model 49-HR  headset communicator's for sale. They are
like new and in the box with manual.  They are a headset type with a speaker
on one side, a mic which is very flexible/adjustable, a cable run's to the
transmitter you clip on your belt.  They run on 4 "AA" batteries or nicad's,
a recharger is included with each headset.
They are Push to Talk or VOX operated.  They also receive FM radio
broadcast.(your standard radio stations) It has an FM override which allows
you to listen to the radio but incoming signals from the other set override
the radio and your transmission does the same. Each transmitter also has a
second headset which has a cable that can plug into the transmitter and two
people can communicate if you switch to the "intercom" setting. This is most
practical if your on a motorcycle talking to the passenger. The headset
earpiece can detach from the headband and be mount on a motorcycle helment.
Mounting is included.  They box say's 1/4 mile range with 1/2 optimum
conditions.  They operate on 49.830-49.890 TX/RX.  The FM radio can be turned
off, you don't have to listen to the radio inbetween transmission.(just
clairifying).  Vox operation has 3 setting's . There are a few more features
i haven't discussed.
I would be willing to trade both set's for a 2meter HT or you can make me a
cash offer if your interrested.
