Talking to Ebay is like talking to M$. They really don't care as long
as they make $. The are very "reactive" to issues, not "proactive". I
see nothing wrong with the 2600 but lets talk about the 200 watt "Ham
Amps" for $1xx.00 that cover 12 and 10 meters? They are still around.
Also the "Amateur amps, 250 watts for $2xx.00 that only cover 24 to 30
mhz. Funny, they still get listed?

What do I know and its for sure Ebay does not care at all.

Just my 3 cents, John W5CGU

I am not a regular user of eBay, so needless to say, I was quite
surprised when my HR2600 was banned. I emailed eBay and they
basically said the HR2600 has been deemed by the FCC to be an illegal
radio since it's used frequently for out-of-band pirate operation.
Since I am a licensed ham, bought the radio legally from another ham,
and have always operated it legally, I can't see how they can ban
these radios (other than the fact that they can because it's their
auction site and I know this trumps fairness).

So my question, is what is the best alternative auction site for those
10 meter ham refugees who have been banished from eBay? I've heard
Yahoo's site is pretty good, are there others I should consider? I'm
not a dealer, just an ordinary ham wanting to get a fair price for my
prized HR2600.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.
