Amen to that!

I believe it is because there is a limit to the size of the ad. Specs on any radio are very easy to find. I see you have been doing just that. I also believe people are more interested in the condition of the radio, what comes with it (mic, power cord, instructions), what type of environment it has ...

That transaction went very well and I wasn't afraid to try it since the fella lived about 80 miles down the road a piece. Then I had my...

All's well....that ends well....

Don't worry, be happy....
