Hi Back a while Motorola bought up all the used two way gear they could via the trade in process. Every single piece of it went to the crusher, no exceptions for anybody. Very much in warranty or 20 years old, to the crusher it went. The practice made them few friends, but it apparently made business sense. I have no idea if they still do the crusher thing today or not.

They both often buy used gear. Even if the gear breaks and needs repairs, there are accounting reasons why buying used makes sense. (Repairs are expensed. Bean counters like that.) Thus to screw anyone that buys used is a poor business practice. HP has/had a different approach. They bought used gear for destruction. Evil, but less evil than SRS. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
