FS: 2-meter 25 watt mobile MAKE OFFER
I have a 25-watt 2-meter mobile FM transceiver, with digital VFO tuning,
backlit LCD, 12 memory spots + settable "call channel", 5-segment LED s-meter/output meter. It supports standard 6khz offsets, plus you can combine memory channels to do odd splits like for the ISS up/downlinks. It comes with the power cord and microphone handset. The handset has a DTMF tone pad and I've added an external microphone/PTT jack for use with a headset or packet gear. I have documented all of the features and controls because the manual is hard to find these days; I'll include doc's with the radio. Model number is KDK FM-2033. Feel free to make any offer. I won't be insulted by low offers; I just might not take them. (remove the obvious) Thanks. 73 de KG6SGY |
Serial Number 8L551464 with MH-36C mike. Taken from van broken into by
smashing glass in sliding door. Antennas left behind; maybe frightened off by traffic. Entry to friend's yard gained by lifting gate off hinges on post. Unfortunately both pivot hinges pointed upward. If one up/one down, might not have happened. |

Man, that's terrible!
Deepest sympathies; the 2500 looks like a nice rig. 73 de KG6SGY "Dean Arthur" wrote in message ... Serial Number 8L551464 with MH-36C mike.

I'm sorry if I have offended anybody with my for-auction post, but at a
glance I can see at least six other "FA:" posts on this NG and nobody has complained about any of them. Could somebody please explain what I have done to warrant complaints from three different people? As for "selling extra stuff", if the buyer is concerned about this, I will list the item as a "buy-it-now" sale so that it will be covered by eBay. I am concerned about how people view me both on eBay and the newsgroups, so if you have an issue, please tell me what I am doing wrong so I can correct it. 73 de KG6SGY "Oscar" wrote in message ...

Greg -- the answer to your question can be found at the rec.radio guidelines
at URL: http://faqs.jmas.co.jp/FAQs/radio/personal-intro Sez: The rec.radio.amateur .equipment group is NOT the place for buying or selling equipment, that's what rec.radio.swap is for. Guidelines say -- rec.radio.amateur .equipment is for Amateur Radio Hardware and software discussions. Many folks post their FS FA WTB WTD items on all the newsgroups which really is poor practice. The rec.radio groups are broken down into several categories so one doesn't have to see the same posts in all the NG's. Just a way to TRY and keep order out of chaos. However, it doesn't work well as folks do what they darn well please. Since the groups are unmoderated -- little can be done about those who spam all rec.radio NG's The "at least six other FA posts" you cited are not following the guidelines either. Doesn't make it "right" Most everyone I know reads all of the rec.radio NG's -- so why spam em all and be out of context on most of them ??? I am not playing NG cop -- just answering your question. Continue with spamming all NG's if you want, but be prepared for some heat from the regular readers who will tell you to post within the guidelines. -- 73 From the Spurious Noise ';';;';x":.,";"' --------------------------------------- "Greg Courville" wrote in message ...

Personally, I only list items FA, FS, etc... in the rad.radio.swap newsgroup.
It saves a lot of hassle. If someone is looking to buy something, they'll look there. As far as people complaining about you selling other things in your auction, forget 'em. Ebay is much more worried about illegal amps and 10 meter radios than to worry about your auction. They're just playing Ebay Police. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73! de Andy KC2SSB - WPYI880 (GMRS) Beachwood, NJ USA! Grid FM29vw http://vhfradiobuff.tripod.com |

Spurious Noise/VHFRadioBuff:
Thank you for your replies. I'm sorry for adding to the garbage pile here; I previously had not read the posting guidelines for the rec.radio groups, and seeing all the for-sale and for-auction ads, thought it was a generally accepted practice to post them on the "equipment" group. Spurious Noise, thank you for the link to the guidelines article; hopefully I'll make wiser posting choices from now on. Thanks! 73 de KG6SGY "VHFRadioBuff" wrote in message ...

I'm sure the rest of you have as well. With one last thought, one reason why it MAY be fetching so much? Because it uses circuitry that most anyone can still repair. Not SMD. SO.... maybe they want it for ease of repair (providing parts are available). I know the next time I buy an H.F. rig it will be something vintage. I'm not real thrilled working on SMD. My eyes are not getting any stronger with age. I do it, but no one said I had to like it. My Kenwood TS 440 knock on wood still works.. But it would be a cold day in hell when I pay out that kind of cash again. Not when I can have a good HW101 or the likes. I loved their audio. Good luck on the radio sale. L. |
