And I admitted to the fact it "could be" - just wasn't sure given it is
labeled "amateur". I'm selling the damned thing for PARTS. Not in working
condition.
OR if it's illegal to sell whole for parts, I'll strip it and sell the parts
FROM it. Anyone who builds amps - I'm sure - could make use of at least the
transformer and case. Surely it should be legal to sell THE parts. But it
****es me off, my listing got booted off of e-bay yet there were others
still labeled and even clearly stating "CB" in the ad - remaining and they
gave ME a lecture of CB AMPS! Ha ha ha. Maybe my amp ad was inappropriate
and that's ok - policy is policy, but then so too were the rest and it is
nothing short of discrimination to bump one and not the rest.

Sounds like a illegal CB amp to me.

1 - Linear Amp. Penetrater HB 200 "Amateur" Bi- Linear Amp. It has
settings
for SSB and AM. The case and overall physical condition is about an 8.5.
IT
DOES NOT WORK, and I'm not sure what all is needed to get it working.
Therefore it is being sold AS IS for parts/experimentation. Maybe to use
the
parts such as the transformer to make another Linear for H.F. There is a
good case, most likely a good transformer (hefty little bugger) and some
other parts and so on.

The unit states "AMATEUR" on it. My luck it may be a CB Amp, but I can't
swear to it. I have no paper work on it to tell me what band it is
capable
of doing since there is no band switch on it NOR label. All I can say
is -
to my knowledge - it has one final transistor yanked. I'm not sure what
else
may be wrong with it, if anything. It operates off of 120 VAC and has a
12VDC tap on back to operate a mobile radio or some other appliance.

Again, it is NOT working and being sold for PARTS/EXPERIMENTATION. I
can't
see how selling a dysfunctional item is illegal. Not any more so, than
selling a 2 way or ham radio to an unlicensed person as has been done
numerous times, even by Radio Shack. Not any worse than selling a car
with a
bad motor or transmission to an unlicensed driver. They can't use it til
they get it fixed, then the proper operation of the item is on them - not
me.

I did have a reserve on it on E-Bay and some one had met that reserve
within
2 hours of it being listed - before E-Bay pulled it and gave me a lecture
on
CB amps - never mind all the models they allowed to remain on there which
clearly indicated for CB use. IF any parties are interested in seeing a
photo of this unit and/or buying it, E-mail me direct. IF it is illegal
to
sell this as is even if not working, then I'll strip the ******* down and
sell it piece by piece. Surely it can't be illegal to sell PARTS. Surely
someone can use the parts. I know one thing, they can't nail me for
"using
it". It is in my way and I have no desire to try to fix it. It never
worked
the whole time I've had it. It came to me in a trade of a bulk of items.
I've not even been on my Ham equipment let alone CB for a LONG time. No
desire anymore. If anyone knows just what band this amp DOES work on
please
let me know. This is one item I've no clue about of all the stuff I've
ever
sold. IF you're interested in said item, e-mail me with any questions or
offers. Best Offer gets the item. The transformer alone ought to be worth
a
few bucks. Payment is by USPS money order only and will get immediate
shipping. By the way, Shipping is NOT included in this offer and the unit
does have some weight to it, so be prepared to pay a few bucks for
shipping.
I ship with some way to trace the package and all are required to be
insured. No exceptions.
