Hi Steve,
I'm with you, pal!
The problem with used ham gear is, if I don't know the person, I could really get taken.
So, guess I'll have to save up and hopefully, someday, get my own station on the air.
Trippy, ac8s

  I've found the same  outdated thinking at the grocery store.  This is an 
  outrage.

  At least with ham gear you have  the option of a vast array of used gear 
  at reduced price.   The used food market isn't  such a good option.
