Yes I feel the same way. the $300 is a good price when I see what I pay for a TX RX duplexer and a Zetron tone panel. I think some people just want to see that they can get away with.
John It is like I had some DB-420 for $100 and no one would give me that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Finch To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 4:41 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton 2008 Chuckle (Tac-Tec - humor) A lot of people made me feel bad when I told them I wanted $300.00 for my 75 watt Mastr II repeater station (not a mobile) complete with Wacom duplexer and multi-CTCSS tone panel! Heck, I could not sell a working RCA 700 desktop repeater ready to go on 444.975 for 50 bucks! I don't know what these people wanted. I think most wanted me to give them the equipment and pay them to haul it off. A foreign type guy wanted to buy a test cable for $5.00, I said no, that would be like giving it away. He then offered to buy two for 15, said no again. I did come down a lot on some things but for the most part I held firm like on the repeaters. A guy told me he bought a Micor complete with a duplexer for 100 bucks, I am sure he did. I have been given a lot of equipment like that but it does not mean I am going to give it away when I haul it that far. I would rather bring it back home and I did. The funny thing, I sold the GE Mastr II to a fellow club member here in Texas so I had to bring it back anyway! I still have a lot of GE and Motorola UHF base stations for sale, guess I will try Belton, Texas in the fall if fuel is not 10 bucks a gallon!

Not as bad as the $200 75 watt UHF Mastr II mobile. It did have a UHS preamp, but come on, $200 for a Mastr II mobile? Bob NO6B No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
