maybe you should inform ebay which ones are illegal and be a good guy to the
ham community!

Since the "legal" ones either have a tuned circuit with takes the output
to ground and burns up the finals if you attempt to hit 11 meters, or a
choke which cuts drive at 11 meter freqs, or both ... I don't think they
can tell at ebay!

Most truckers actually use ham equip. (or, "legal equipment"), they just
have cut out the "protections."

So in the end, what good is all of it?

And, every ham I know, knows that if you want top dollar for ancient
equipment he/she is done with--sell it to a trucker! LOL

I mean, it is sort of like the "copy protection" on movies--it doesn't
work, teenagers worldwide copy and burn movies with free software--but
the industry claims it works! Go figure ...
