The stock battery, mentioned in the ad, was not included in the shipment.
N1XH, Rob Potvin, told me that he had misplaced the battery while in the process of moving, when I called him to inquire after the shipment arrived.
After waiting a number of weeks without the battery being sent to me and no contact from N1XH, I attempted to contact him through his various e-mail addresses, and via phone, with no response.
