I have a pair of exceptionally clean Motorola Spirit (Model MV24CVS)
VHF "Handy-Talkies" ("HT's"), with two matching Motorola Desk Chargers
for sale. Seldom will you find any used Motorola equipment in such
"clean"
condition as these VHF handheld units.

I've seen this ad for a long time now. I've ignored it because I am not
in the U.S. and therefore would not buy them, but I've wondered what
frequencies they operate on.

IMHO if they operate on a ham band, then you should say so to stimulate
interest, and if they don't find a more appropriate group.

If you've read the ad you've seen that these "HT's" operate on VHF MURS
frequencies, they are also capable of operation on the 2 meter ham band.

If you've read the ad you've also seen that they are being offered for sale
only within the Continental United States (so this ad would be of no
interest
to you). This newsgroup is, IMHO, an appropriate place for this ad, Geoff.
If you don't wish to see any particular item in any newsgroup, you may wish
to learn to use newsreader filters.

Huh?

You posted this to rec.radio.swap, and to rec.radio.amateur.equipment.

The former is for buy and sell ads, the latter is for the discussion
of amateur radio equipment.

rec.radio.amateur.equipment is not for ads, it never was and still isn't.
Jut because some fools think it is does not make it so.

I don't recall seeing any mention of amateur radio in the original post,
so I certainly wondered why it was here, rec.radio.amateur.equipment,
not even simply because it was an ad but because it didn't really
seem to be even amateur radio related.
