For me -- I have found rare (not price wise) Ham items on E-Bay that I have
never seen here. Example Kenwood made an outstanding grid dip meter -- found on E-Bay thru a notice here. Took 2 years to find one. I have an HF Swan large swr meter -- wanted the matching VHF unit -- found on E-Bay thru a notice here. Never saw one anywhere in the last several years. Another is a Kenwood TS-811 for 440 MHz -- not many sold I suspect but have seen a few on E-Bay. So go ahead and post your FA E-Bay items here -- who knows one might find a Knightkit OceanHopper by this means. -- 73 From The Wilderness Keyboard "radioman" wrote in message ...

Forgot to add --- this news group is NOT the proper place to place sell,
swap, FA, etc items -- they belong on rec.radio.swap So you are right.

"Why not? I reply... Cheers, Al Link K4ICL Because, Al, this is an "equipment" discussion group, NOT a For Sale group. For Sale discussion and postings belong on rec.radio.swap instead. Most if not all hams read both. There is no need for this duplication on this non-sales related group. Ed WB6SAT |

Why the heck not? As long as one uses FA in the subject line.
I know some folks are touchy about things like that. I picked up a Yaesu FT-847 on Ebay via a post here. I paid $675 for it on ebay about a year ago. The rig is flawless and works great!! Keep the ebay posts coming!!! radioman wrote: Why I ask????????????????? |

Once again -- please read the guidelines to the rec.radio news groups At URL: http://faqs.jmas.co.jp/FAQs/radio/personal-intro It sez: The swap group is rec.radio.swap. This recognizes a fact that became evident shortly after the original group was formed: Hams don't just swap ham radio gear, and other folks besides hams swap ham equipment. If you have radio equipment, or test gear, or computer stuff that hams would be interested in, here's the place. Equipment wanted postings belong here too. Discussions about the equipment generally don't; if you wish to discuss a particular posting with the buyer, email is a much better way to do it, and the other groups, especially .equipment and .homebrew, are the place for public discussions. 73 From The Wilderness Keyboard "Mark Russo" wrote in message ...

rec.radio.swap is the place to buy, sell, swap, note an auction and just plain give away stuff.
rec.radio.amateur.equipment is a forum to post info, questions, and answers about equipment -- such as performance, troubleshooting, operation etc --- NOT for buy, sell, swap, note an auction etc Who sez so --- well to create order out of chaos -- guidelines were presented and adapted -- see URL: http://faqs.jmas.co.jp/FAQs/radio/personal-intro Note it sez "It's important to post messages to the group that's appropriate for them, and not to the groups that aren't. The whole idea of having different newsgroups is so that folks who aren't interested in, say, homebrewing, don't have to wade through messages about homebrewing on the way to read about Field Day. Posting appropriately is just good etiquette." So does one have to obey the guidelines -- NO since the NG's are free and mostly unmoderated. But do we want to wade thru hundreds of message which don't fit the NG subject ???? I for one and many others won't read a post when it is in the wrong NG.

Hhhmmm, thought this group was rec.radio.amateur.equipment? The FT-847 is amateur equiptment. :-) It is. "All about production amateur radio hardware" according to newsgroup archive info. I believe the FAQ does state this, but the FAQ for this newsgroup seems to be "mis-placed" on the official FAQ FTP site at the moment. Bottom line... discussion, not FOR SALE postings. The rec.radio.swap newgroup is for that, and it rediculously redundant to post for sale items on any, or all, of the other amateur radio discussion newsgroups. Ed WB6SAT |

This has been discussed to death in the past.
You and I and everybody else have NO POWER to control what will be posted here and starting yet another round of complaints will do no good and just overwhelm the posts of things we are interested in or feel are the only things that should be allowed. Why not cut THIS "crap" complaint and get on with more important things? THIS DISCUSSION is worse than the FA posts and will likely take up more time and bytes and energy than the FA posts. I guess I'll add this subject to my filter and not have to bother seeing it. As long as posters uses the requested FA or FA: for auctions and FS or FS: and doesn't try to hide FA or FS items with a deceptive title, you can use a filter and never see them. If you don't have a way to filter out the FA and FS posts so you never see them then use some other free news reader. Even my several year old Netscape works fine to filter out "crap" posts like this and the fallout that it'll generate. If you're still using a simple text reader and your system won't run more modern software just realize that's a problem you'll have to deal with. radioman wrote: Why I ask????????????????? |

I've put ads here in the past myself for parts I felt some may be interested in. Some which were for older gear. I too have seen some interesting ads in here which caught my eye. As any and all have the option to do, I CAN SKIP THEM if not interested. Just my 2 cents. G.W. |

What happens is others see the FA and FS ads and assume it must be OK to post such, do so, and the group tends to become more of a place for ebay sellers to hawk their wares than a discussion group. That is what happened to the boatanchor group, very little discussion about boatanchors there anymore because the ebay jokers insist on using it to hawk their ebay ads instead of placing those ads in one of the .swap groups where they belong. Now anyone who wishes to discuss boatanchors does not bother with the group because they know it is full of ebayers trying to get another buck for their junk on ebay. So if you go to the boatanchors group and skip the FA/FS ads, there isn't anything left thanks to those who choose exercise their 'rights' and ignore FAQ's and Charters. |
