Topband: 9 circle RX array combiner board

One advantage of using Ebay is their excellent refund policies if 
you get cheated. I've used it many times and never suffered a loss. 
But you have only two weeks to file a claim.

Considering that Motorola ceased production in the year 2000, 
most of these are obviously fakes based on the date codes 
shown in the photos. They also don't look like any real 
one I've ever seen. Caveat emptor!
