Well, hello again! That first item sold quickly... here's some more:

Item 2A / 2B / 2C: RadioShack GMRS/FRS Radios, model 21-1904

These are nice rugged handhelds, with the following specs:

powered by 4 AAA cells
can charge NiCD or NiMH cells in the radios
22 channels (all FRS & all GMRS)
38 CTCSS options
channel scan
key lock
key tome / vibrate mode
VOX with or without accessories
auto power-off
1/2W xmit power on FRS channels, up to 1.5W (!) xmit power on GMRS channels
courtesy tone
headset / speaker mic jack
DC power jack
NOAA weather radio channels
weather alert
direct call (uses CTCSS)
call ID melodies
panic button
belt clip
rotary power/volume thumbwheel
BIG display

these units were originally sold as a pair for about $80 or so. they're 
nice rugged little radios with a rubberized tan exterior, white speaker 
grill and orange buttons. I'm including with each pair a RS fast charger 
that will charge both radios (either NiCD or NiMH) in about 2.5 hours 
then goes into stand-by mode to not over-charge. These chargers sold 
separately for about $25. each pair has operating manual.

Here's the deal: one pair w/charger: $40. Two pairs w/2 chargers: $75. 
All six that I have, along with 3 chargers: $100. Once again, first 
reply gets whatever they want from this lot.

I'd like to thank those of you who responded to my previous clean-out. 
There are more radios coming up for sale as I scour the decks...

Regards,
