[John Hutchins]

Ray -

We have been down this road all ready on this list.  Some on in colrado 
foud a TBY that was tweeking his counter 15 feet away! Yep!  Depending 
on where you want to be on the reproductive cycle ship that puppy to me 
before you go an alert them at UPS.  For $5.00 I will be happy to take 
that radio active radio off your hands  ;-}

Way more than an aircraft instrument at 2 to 5 mR/ph and way beyond the 0.5 mR/ph the R-390 "warning" tagged meters produce. I know that just about everything blocks Alpha but what would happen if you ship a TBY thru USPS or UPS? Anyone shipped one lately?
