[InHam] FOR SALE

[Will Holycross]

All of my ham radio friends:
    I have some bad news. Circumstances beyond my control have forced me to 
put the 2 meter repeater (Covington) & 440 Mhz repeater (Williamsport) up 
for sale. My ex-wife is interfering with the custody/visitation of my 
daughter and I've had to retain legal representation in two states. I enjoy 
ham radio but my daughter is more important than anything else. I feel I've 
been slowly losing interest in the hobby as well. I feel bad about the 
Covington/Williamsport area losing the repeaters but I have no other choice.

    I would hope someone local would like to buy either one or both 
repeaters and keep them on the air in the area. I'm optimistic the 2 meter 
repeater could stay at the water tower in Covington. The 440 repeater 
possibly might have to be moved. The items will be listed on E-bay very 
shortly. I will cancel the auction early if anyone wants to purchase the 
repeaters to keep them on the air locally.


Here are the facts:
2 meter Motorola Micor mobile converted to a repeater. (145.490/144.890) 
Arcom controller.
Sinclair duplexers (band pass/band reject). Enclosed in a nice metal cabinet 
(thanks to Kevin!).
Also consists of a 440 link radio. Motorola M120 mobile radio. 8 channel. 
The controller is
three ports. Two are being used. The other port is wired and ready to go for 
a motorola 16 pin radio or can be tied into a second repeater. Also includes 
a lightning arrestor. No power supply. The 2 meter repeater has a fan 
controlled by the repeater controller and the link radio has continous fans 
blowing on the heat sink.

440 Mhz repeater is two Motorola M120's  8 channel. With a mobile duplexer. 
I believe it's a Phelps Dodge but could be wrong. The radios are tied 
together with a RICK (repeater interface communications kit) to make the 
radios act as a repeater. Heat sink, no fans.

   If someone is interested I can give more details (actual model numbers, 
etc.) An appointment could be made to take a look at them as well. I'll have 
some pictures here very shortly.

          I'm asking $2,000 for the VHF repeater and $700 for the UHF 
repeater. Please e-mail me if you have questions.
