With 18 months of idle time, the chances are greater that it has
died from unuse. This advice was given to me from KF6BQF, who has been fixing

John, don't believe everything you hear especially from a newbie, today's
electronics have a long shelf life. You can quote me as well, KF6HHS, been
fixing electronics for 50 years.


Newbie? Hardly. I'm a newbie, and I've had the same experiences as him with supposedly modern
electronics. It sits, it dies. Simple as that. If you haven't experienced death by coma electronics,
you've been damn lucky and you should thank your stars for that.

I have a PK232MBX for sale. This unit has been sitting in storage for a
couple of years. I am the original owner and I have added the DSP
daughterboard. I will ship with the original manual (in grey plastic
binder), DSP addendum, cable to connect to PC and original box.

Note: There are some scratches on the top of the unit and it was working the
last time it was powered up approx. 18 mos. ago.

Asking $100.00 or best offer.

Please email off list if interested, and thank you for your time.

John, KB2COP


I strongly advise you power it up and make sure it works fully before you try to sell it. Any good
electronics tech will tell you that it takes just a few months for unused equipment to die and need
reconditioning or to be tossed out. With 18 months of idle time, the chances are greater that it has
died from unuse. This advice was given to me from KF6BQF, who has been fixing electronics for over
