  Dan,
  I'm not sure if he will want to mess with this, but I've got an
  older Kenwood 221 mobile that I'd let go of for $130...obo.
  In good working order - except - the memory backup battery has gone
  south on me, so that the radio loses all the memory channel info
  after being turned off for more than a few minutes.
  If he's interested, the number is below...HOWEVER - I will be VERY
  busy and difficult to reach until AFTER Dec. 31 (in the process of

Write your reply.

assistant: For Sale:
Alinco DJ-580T dual-band handheld in excellent condition (a 9+ out of 10)
ith
original box, manual, antenna, NiCad battery, and wall charger.
The radio covers the following frequencies:
AM aircraft                     110-143mhz
VHF ham & Public Service        130-174mhz
UHF ham & Public Service        420-480mhz
and full cellular/etc.          800/900mhz
Mars/CAP tx is also enabled.
Full accessory package includes two extra standard batteries (EBP-20N), soft
case (ESC-17), remote-control speaker/microphone (EMS-8Z), dry-cell battery
case (EDH-11), and drop-in quick charger (EDC-34). This charger operates from
a wall transformer (included) or a 12-volt car cord that allows for charger
operation from any 12-13.6v source, so you can even charge the batteries from
your car lighter socket! You can also operate the radio while it is in the
charger. LEDs on the charger indicate battery charge status.
This radio has 40 memories plus 2 call channels, simultaneous dual-band
scan/receive, CTCSS, Digital Coded Squelch with paging and messaging, full
crossband duplex, crossband repeat, 3 DTMF autodial memories, and a host of
other features you would expect to find in a first-class radio. It even has a
stereo earphone jack that allows for separating the audio from the two bands.
It has a jack for direct connection to a car cord or other power supply for a
full 5 watts output. Output from the standard batteries is 2.2 watts, but 12v
batteries are also available, and work with the drop-in charger.
This is a terrific package for the new or experienced amateur. The
ccessories
alone have a value of close to $200.
Total package price: $350.00.

HT's or mobile radio.  I dont want to spend more than $110.00 due to my
complete lack of a job.  Antennas on the HT's a must, antennas on the mobiles
not required but prefered.  If original manuals are available that would be
nice too.  Leave a message on the board if you have something interesting.  I
might also consider a 440Mhz or a 220Mhz.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
   One of our local Hams is looking for a good home for a
Yausu FT-200 tranceiver that is gathering dust.  From what
he has told me the unit is in very nice condition, but he
has only been able to get output on 40m.  There is also the
matching VFO that looks like it hasn't been out of the box.
He has the manual for the rig (not sure about the VFO), and
has replaced the tubes (broken bottles when he got it).
   Operation covers Ham Bands from 1.5 - 29.0 Mc.
In proper operation the output should be around 100-110 watts
(aligned correctly with good tubes).  Dial illumination has
dimmed (yellowed), but is still quite readable.
   The rig was owned previously by an 11m enthusiast, so it's
entirely possible that the problem with xmit is nothing more
than mis-alignment (no promises :).  The max out that's been
seen is apx 40w (like I say, on 40m only).
   All REASONABLE offers will be considered, including trades.
Drop me a line here, or via netmail to 1:2003/0 and I'll pass
the message on to him (he's not connected :(...   (yet)
Sincerely,
           Bruce - kb6lwn@qsl.net - ck@saber.net

assistant: hello dan
i have an off brand 2m mobile rig that puts out 5 or 25 watts.
it is led readout and has three programmable memories.
it also will scan, either the memories or the band.
it will only cover the 2m ham band.
it has a mike with touchtone pad on it but the pad isnt hooked
up.
the radio is about the same size as a yaseu memorizer and kinda
looks like one althogh the brand name on it is NDI.
it works just fine and i have been using it as a base.
the reason i am selling it is because it doesnt have pll
tones.
I am asking $100 and we split shipping costs. also it has
the mobile bracket with it.

assistant: thats pretty good..H(he doesnt have) A(any) M(money)..HAM.
i havent met to many hams who do...
i am also disabled and spend most of my time on hf or packet here at
the house (or the internet lately).
the radio i have is a older one..read that''before fancy additions.
it will scan..either the 3 memories or the band.
i dont have a book on it,all of the things the radio will do is
marked on the front panel,not like some of the new multi-function
button radios of today.
it has selectable offsets (plus,minus or simplex),LED readouts,analog
signal strength meter,RF gain,memory recall and memory program buttons
and high/low power button and so on.
it may do "tone-burst" and i thing there is a button labled "tone"
on it..the older radios that had a button called "tone" referred
to tone burst instead of sub-audible tones...a few repeaters use
tone burst (1750hz) but most of them are some pll tone instead.
the radio is in like new shape, i wouldnt say a perfect 10 but
at least a nine. it doesnt look like it was ever used mobile..
i bought it from a cb'er who thought it was a cb radio until
he couldnt get anyone to answer him...hi
 I am asking $100 for it. contact me on email if you will.
