Funny things you see on ebay ...

1) No microphone included as it was used for Morris code only.
- Is that the code where you attach two cat food cans and a string together ?
2) Works great as I've just had it up and running with contacts into Florida and Arizona with good signal reports!
- he didn't tell you - they are the only states that this transceiver can communicate with. If you want the other states - cost extra.
3) I am selling because I do not use the 220 anymore... have moved away from 220 activity.
- Where is the 220 activity ?
4) Radio lightly used for a year or so. The radio performed well for me when I used it. The antenna has a bit of problem on the tip... the antenna rolled off the table and the dog got the tip for a moment. The antenna still works, but if you want to use the unit in the rain, probably should replace it.
- there's a whole years worth of use - the dog got it ?
5) THE UNIT WORKS GREAT FOR ABOUT ½ HOUR TILL IT WARMS UP THEN THE REC & XMIT OF THE VHF SIDE DROPS OUT, BUT THE UHF SIDE WORKS FINE.TURN RADIO OFF ½ HR AND IT WORKS FINE AGAIN.THE RADIO HAS BEEN MODIFIDED FOR EXTENDED BAND COVERAGE XMIT & REC.
- wonder why it has problems ? Modifided ? It hurts when I do that.
6) Sometimes the radio works, sometimes it doesn't but guaranteed not DOA.
- Huh ?
If you find anything good out on ebay - post them ... they are funny to read. I am not putting down the rigs being sold, or the Ham or person selling them, it's just after you have read their statements two or three times ... they get to seem a bit funny.
