Dear Reader:

This is my site and reflects my opinion. It is intended to offer ideas, examples and suggestions. It is not saying that I am right and you are wrong. This is a big world and EMCOMM is at least a little different in every locale. I am trying to discuss issues and uncover best practices. If you do things differently or have questions or comments, please share and help educate us all.

eBay Prices Seem High

AuthorDavid Coursey, N5FDL DateWed, January 30, 2013 at 2:24PM

The prices people are paying for old, wideband-only commercial radios seem awfully high for equipment that cannot be legally used in the US outside the ham bands.

I can only speculate this gear is being purchased for export to places where narrowbanding is not yet required.

Otherwise, we should be awash in gear that has had to be replaced, selling at giveaway prices.
