Well, item 105 is a VHF MTR2000 repeater. Think that might be
worth something ?
Item 117 on the list is a box of 123 handhelds. Pages 4-7 list them.
There are a number of HT1000s and HT750s and
Wow, if this is attempting to be nice I can't even imagine what your idea of

So, am I correct in understanding that this Batlabs circuit uses the mic socket
to the audio transfer?
I thought there was one that used the connector in the back of the radio?
However if this works I have a few radios to try it out on.

I have a Motorola Quantar on the bench at the moment and I am having a slight

Hi Greg,
Don't know if it's relevant, but I just programmed one
for the 2 meter band, and when I entered the freq's, it
gave me an error message. Can't remember exactly what it
was, but I entered 'no', and it continued on as if nothing
was wrong.
Seems to work fine.

Nate,
With all due respect, following your logic, if one careless mobile user lets
his mic fall down in a seat crack, doesn't realize his PTT is stuck, and ties
up your input for an hour driving through your coverage area, does it then
follow that you ban all mobile users from your system?

When a 224 antenna is mounted on a leg of a 25G, 45G, 55G towers, the
patterns are close to what DB had predicted as allowances are made for the
distance off of the leg of the tower. EG: 1/4, 1/2, wavelength, etc. On
large face towers anything is possible. As an example I mounted a DB 224 on

Since you're going above frequency specs, is the Quantar anything like a
MSF5000 where you need to adjust a VCO to cover the new range?

Paul, I was going to respond to this original post myself yesterday. I find
these days that a lot of hams don't use repeaters as much as we used to 10
or 15 years or more ago, due to the use of cell phones and to some extent
the internet. But perhaps the fact that there has always been an air
This is really rather frightening. Many of us have similar collections of
gear, and I'm wondering on what basis it was seized. I don't remember anything
in the Constitution about seizure of potentially stolen property. I hope the

The FCC sucked up *all* his gear vs just the gear he was using to break
the law, which I believe is allowed since the defendant was a licensed
operator of some sort. While my radio geek side likes this, my US
citizen side kinda freaks out at the idea...
The problem with the $24k FCC fine is

I picked up five HT600's on ebay last week and low and behold they are the
wrong split for what I would like to use them for. They are 403-438 and I need
438-470.
I have already converted them all to 6 channels and can program them to suit
your needs if you like. They all work but three of
