Hi Lowell,
Thanks for letting me know.
25 bucks is a great deal on one that's working right.
I've price checked them on ebay, and they definitely aren't cheap.
Best one I've seen went for 40 bucks and it was only a 30 channel
bearcat.
Does yours have a battery that I could still buy, or does it use a
rechargeable pack that I could get another one of since the one you
have's dead?
I'll be using it on a/c some times, but will need to use it while not
near an outlet.
If I can get a new battery, or if it can take non-rechargeable
batteries, I'd like to talk to you about buying it.
thanks and 73,
Zach
