Re: [Repeater-Builder] Two Way Shop for Sale
I don't know if you get Mission Critical, but Nextel is involved in a very expensive Rebanding Agreement by order of the FCC to the tune of a few Billion Clams, also word on the street is may be a expensive court fight in there also. it's kind of a wait and see what happens next, FYI everyone.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Two Way Shop for Sale
Dave: Thank you for your e-mail and one of your tubes is going great guns in the repeater right now. Unfortunately, there is a wireless internet site and a Nextel system that went on the top of the building and the noise is eating up the system. I need to get a bunch of clamp on ferrite cores and get permission to start slapping them on around the site. Dean was a very good friend. When I talk about saturday afternoon, I spent virtually every saturday afternoon with him at his shop for about 25 years. We only missed when he or I was out of town and he was a bit of a homebody. We would meet with some other friends right before noon and go eat lunch together, then back to the shop. After I got married about 12 year ago, fortunately, my wife understood where I was although she expected me back from the shop about 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. He was a good and great friend and I will miss him.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Two Way Shop for Sale
Michael - let me extend my sympathy to you in the loss of your friend. I remember you said there was a good friend with a sickness involved when we made the transaction with the tubes.

[Repeater-Builder] Two Way Shop for Sale
Here is an ad for your information: FOR SALE: 2-Way Radio Sales/Service and TV repair business. Sale to includes 2500 square foot shop building, service and test equipment, vehicles, furniture, fixtures, radios, parts inventory, and vehicles. Business in continuous operation for over fifty years and to be sold from estate after recent death of sole proprietor owner. Located at 316 West Main, Norman, OKlahoma. Appraised value over $200,000.00 although price is negotiable. Recent building appraisal is available. Prefer sale of entire operation, but building and business could be sold separately. Financial information available to serious bidders only. For details, call Bill at (405) 321-6998 or Micheal at (405) 366-1234. Now, let me add these comments. This shop was owned by a very good friend of mine, who was also an amateur radio operator. In fact, two of the four current employees are also ham operators. My friend and I spent many, many saturday afternoons at the shop working on my several repeaters, his equipment, and whatever piece of electronic equipment I happened to bring in. He was very generous in allowing me to use his equipment and helping me troubleshoot problems. On occasion, he would go to the repeater site with me if there was something we couldn't carry out. I would out with him when he got called out on weekend. He believed in service and, "The customer was always right." That is harder to do these days. The shop has been a good business, but had the usual ups and downs of the economy in Oklahoma, particularly the oil boom and bust. My friend stayed with what he knew, TV repair and 2-way. There are a couple of community repeaters that generate income. We do have a general inventory of property and equipment that would be available and are waiting on P & L statements. He had no family other than three elderly sisters. They are not really equipped to run a two way shop. Anybody who seriously contemplates a purchase will need to think about expanding and modernizing the business along the lines of the recent article in MRT which indicates a general downturn in the 2-way business and explained how two way shops have compensated for the income drop from the 2-way business. You will need business experience to make it grow. Like everywhere else, there are, of course, competitors. He has four loyal employees who worked for him for a combined total of almost 120 years. Norman, Oklahoma is a college town, home of the University of Oklahoma and a nice place to live. It probably would be appropriate not to respond to business inquiries via the reflector. Contact me with questions or comments directly. The number above is my office number and I am generally there from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. M-F. Kevin agreed to let me post this notice this one time and I very much appreciate his generousity. Micheal Salem Yahoo!
