I could swear the thread wasn't in Peddler's Talk but obviously I was wrong. But I'm pretty sure that Mark Mantei didn't start the thread nor is/was he selling the unit.

IIRC, there was at least one more post at the beginning of the thread made by the seller and it did list a price. For some reason that post is missing. Perhaps the OP is no longer a member and the post was removed by the administrators.

Perhaps if you submit your concern to the new admins the entire thread can be deleted. It's certainly serving no useful purpose now that the original first post is gone.

OTOH, if every useless thread on BT was removed, the total number of posts would shrink considerably.

I watched the thread come up with a 480 for sale by Seth Andrews - this is some sort or remnant of the thread that looks like they (BT) removed Seth Andrews original post.

It is nothing that Mark posted as this modified version showed up well after his posted response with respect to the radio for sale.

This is one of those forum oddities where the original poster disappeared for some reason (banned, removed for being a scammer? etc) but the thread remains without their post.

Price is $Free and non-negotiable. I know what I have.
