It's finally happened - cleaning up the garage, choosing ONLY the 
radio equipment I absolutely HAVE to keep, and selling the rest.
Less radios, more baby stuff.  Those with kids understand what I'm 
saying...reprioritization...

If you ever visited my house in Maryland, you saw "the closet."  This 
basically represents EVERYTHING I had in my closet full of radio stuff.

No, I'm not dying (at least, my doctors don't think so).  I'm just 
straightening and simplifying.  And no, I'm not leaving the hobby - I'm 
keeping much of my test equipment and antenna-construction stuff, plus an 
HT, my OMNI V, a few QRP rigs, and a small assortment of iambic paddles.

All prices are negotiable - package deals and offers considered.
Trades possible but obviously not of first priority.

TEST EQUIPMENT

Ramsey COM3 - say what you will about Ramsey, but it's a decent service
monitor for the price.  Have used it to align many a radio.  1-1000 MHz, 
variable modulation, case/handle and pager decode options.  120 VAC 
and also has internal NiCd battery.  18 lbs, "portable."

Measures deviation & freq., RF/audio freq., and generates AM/FM with 
and without 1 kHz tone of variable amplitude. Rx AM & FM and outputs
audio to internal speaker.					$1600

Ahh, daddyhood.  So much radio stuff, so little time to use it.
I am exposing Hannah to lots of CW (as time permits) and she actually
was on my lap (asleep) during Field Day at age 5 weeks.  

Anyway, I've identified the bare essentials and am keeping the pieces 
I absolutely MUST have on hand.

Offers and package deals considered.

HAPPY SHOPPING!  Seriously, feel free to make offers!
