GigaParts has them for almost $125/less.


In addition to the many accessories clearly described on the auction page,
some items were not listed. This bidder contacted me early in the auction to
tell me he wanted both Yaesu radios. As such, as an extra incentive, I
offered him several additional items (software, computer cables, and cloning
cables). I also notified each bidder of an included MFJ antenna not listed
on the auction page. The total new purchase price of all items included with
this one auction is in excess of $600. Between the two auctions, this bidder
saved several hundred dollars over new prices.


When it's all said and done the best piece of goofy nonsense is that
you're (allegedly) dumping your entire ham station (two HTs, matched
pair, his and her's last I heard) and are quitting ham radio.

Well, there was an HF rig also. Dwight is a technician, so he was
probably planning on getting a General ticket once.


I've been listening to that one for decades.

"Upgrades" are where we find 'em around here . . .

'BYE and don't let the door . . .


I think it's too bad that Dwight is getting out of Ham radio.


Why?

I just prefer as many people as possible to stay active. Don't get me
wrong, I thought his reaction to me doing a little yipping about the
newsgroup spamming was kind of snotty, but I'm overly tolerant, some
say! ;^)

Sorry about that, Mike. It was a clear over-reaction to your three (3)
messages in this newsgroup about me spamming the newsgroups, mixed with a
throbing toothache and not enough sleep the night before because of it. My
decision to leave Amateur radio is based solely on personal reasons,
including a lack of interest at the moment, other distractions in my life,
and so on. As I said elsewhere, it has been fun, but it's time for me to
move on. Take care.

No problem, Dwight. I figured there might have been some external stuff
going on. Pain and lack of sleep can get the best of antone. Hope you're
feeling better. Good luck in whatever you do.

Well there you have it. The number one reason for leaving amateur
radio is probably death (SK for the pnone impaired). Or maybe it's a
lack of interest.

No nefarious conspiracy theories necessary.

I wonder what the other reasons for people leaving the ARS might be?

Why, are you looking for a way out too? I'll be glad to help.

I know the way. Too bad there are so many hangers on that only the
actuarial tables can deal with them.

Tell me about your real military experience again, oh serviceless one.

Hi,hi!

Before you start "laughing", Brain, at least Brian has acknowledged that
which he has and hasn't done. You continue to misrepresent yourself.

And there is no law, rule or regulation that REQUIRES his having been in
the service. Not since 1974.

Aw go easy on him, he's just in his "grasp at any straw mode" again
Steve. He was a USAF shipping/receiveing clerk for cripes sake. How
far down the "service" chain is THAT?! But life demands that everybody
needs at least one brag point in life and his "clerical service" is as
close as he's gotten to having one. He sure as hell doesn't have any
in ham radio or in any other field that I know about. So ya handle his
predictable yelping from obscurity, which is typical of his types,
with common good humor. A pat on the head, "Good boy, good BOY
Putzlet!" "Now go fetch that box of file folders I need". The usual.

Yawn

And there is no law, rule or regulation that REQUIRES his having been in
