Free VHF radio (old)

FM

I apologize if this is not the proper forum for this but.......  We just
replaced our lower helm station VHF radio.  The radio we removed is a
Cybernet 2050.  It works perfectly, but we wanted a radio with more
features like multiple channel scan and so on.

If anyone wants the Cybernet, they're welcome to it for free.  I have
the radio, two mikes, the mounting case for the radio, and the
operator's manual.  I did cut the 12vdc power wires pretty short to the
radio so I could use the existing radio wiring and fuse holder for the
new radio, but there's enough wire coming out the back to splice to.
It's a very basic radio-- small knobs for on-off-volume, squelch,
display dim, and channel change, and push buttons for transmit power,
dual watch, and Ch. 16.  It has only five preset WX channels, which was
one reason we replaced the radio-- it does not receive the weather
broadcast we use most in this area.  The radio's pretty light, so ground
shipping would not be much.  If this thing could be of use to any of
you, contact me off-list.
