[NLRS] Shack emptying

[Allan]

Hi John and everyone,

I'd take it to see if it would work well with DL4YHF's Spectrum Lab 
software.

And I will put a word in as a new ham trying to build a station and 
homebrew/electronics bench.

So I'm scrounging for test gear, especially repairable gear of interest 
as "I like to fix things", signal generator, function gen, components, 
antennas/parts, rigs with good "value" or potential. Current I only have 
a 2m FM HT, no tone).

I attended Aurora and was most impressed with what you guys do, and hope 
to join in with time. I'm thinking with my limited Minneapolis antenna 
situation a weak signal 2m capability might be a place to start?

You're junk may be my treasure and I'll come get it! lol Let me know 
what you got.
