[Milsurplus] Goverment Liquidators

[Patrick Jankowiak]

In fact, FEMA donated a couple real nice 1KW Harris ISB 
tranceivers to the National Guard in Dallas. They didn't want 
them, so off they went with the local coordinator. Years later, 
the Texas State Guard now has one of those very same units in our 
HQ offices in that same NG armory..

The other is still with the coordinator (also in the TXSG) who 
keeps it at home for the standby MARS radio.

So the don't always walk away, they just get moved, gummint 
property is gummint property.. These are no longer in inventory 
however.

-not the usual kind of transfer but it worked for us.

How about old radios
and transmitters that will wind up"walking away" from an agency 
rather than
being used (sorry - back to radio topic)?  Most of this old 
electronics is
not in current inventory and is not compatible with current ops. 
  Better for
US to get a few dollars and be rid of the stuff and let the new 
agancy
justify why they need to spend real dollars on new equipment.
