Fellow radio people:
Well, the time has come for me to "thin the herd" a little, and first to
go are some of my <large> collection of FRS and/or GMRS handhelds.
Item #1: A pair of Motorola Talkabout T5950 radios. Specs:
* 7 GMRS/FRS 1 watt Channels (shared use channels)
* 7 FRS 1/2 watt Channels
* 8 GMRS 1 watt Channels
* 99 Interference Eliminator Codes
* 1W Transmit Power (see above)
* 10 Audible Call Tones
* Talk Confirmation Tone
* Keypad Lock
* Backlit Display
* Time Out Timer
* Transmit LED
* Removable Swivel Belt Clip
* Battery Meter Indicator - with Audible Low Battery Alert
* lets you talk hands-free - when used with or without accessories
* QT Noise Filter
* Priority Scan
* Nuisance Delete (Scan)
* Manual Advance (Scan)
* Audio Accessory Connector (Single Pin)
* VibraCall® Alert
* NOAA Weather Channels (note, there is no SAME capability)
* Voice Activation (vox)
These nice little bright-yellow radios can either be run on three AA
cells or the <included> NiCD packs. I don't know how good these packs
are anymore, so please note that. Replacement packs are available online
from various sources. I am including the one-piece recharger unit that
charges both radios simultaneously and holds them in a nice upright
position. I don't think I have the manual anymore, but it too is
available online as a .pdf.
These radios are still available from online sources, usually without
the battery packs or charger, for anywhere between $75 and $100.
I'm asking $40 for the pair, with all accessories, as described above.
First caller gets them!
Thanks for your patience reading this... regards,
Dave Lufkin KB3JRJ
