[TenTec] For Sale: OMNI VI (upgraded to plus) -- I've had it!!

[Ken & Rose Kreis]

Dale,

ship that inaccurate piece of junk to the address below. I can use that
lousy rig in my truck for mobile. The faulty display will not bother me
because I don't look at the display when mobile.

Ship to:

Ken Kreis, KA0W
1064 Hickory Ave.
Rudd, IA 50471
