Just an FYI, if buying a Ukrainian unit, check to see if the bandwidth
is usable in your area. If I understood the designer properly (we were
talking through an interpreter), some of the units (including mine) have
a 200 KHz bandwidth which is basically unusable in the crowded US 2m
band. Other designs have a switch to lower the bandwidth.

And along these lines, I brought back two 2M Ukrainian units to sell for
Sergei. The cost will be approximately $185 each plus shipping. If you
can take care of the wire transfer, then the cost would drop to $150
plus shipping. These two units have the bandwidth switch and should be
easily usable in the US.
