Sorry to contradict you but here's a copy of what I posted to the group
several days ago (8/5/02).  I didn't get any acknowledgement

Greetings, All

I followed up on the posting from Mike McCoy and looked at this
Ebay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1369173924
I missed the boat on it but I contacted the vendor and bought one for $11.25
including shipping.  Haven't gotten it yet but he has lots of them.  He
bought a
bunch of Motoola stuff from the government as surplus.  I'll let you know
how it works when it gets here.  I think it is new, but I'm not sure.
The URL above is still visible if you want to check it out.
