Hi Tom -
  If you haven't found a buyer yet, I'm around the Beltway in Bethesda and
would love to give this thing a look-see.  Can you confirm that this is
the R-1155 variant that does 75-500kHz, or is it one of the ones that
does 200-500kHz in LF?

  I myself am not particularly familiar with all the R-1155 variations
either!
