New IOM Echolink simplex node

GD0NFN-L is a new simplex node connected to Echolink.
It is currently on test and can be found using node number 509365.
Two frequencies are allocated to the node:

The test mode is currently running on 434.500 MHz FM from IO74TF.
The more contacts the node has the more successful the tests will be.

For Sale

AOR AR8600 Mk2 Communications Reciever.

Immaculate / mint condition, comes boxed with instructions and PSU.

Only thing missing from the original package is the right angled BNC antenna, but its better used with an external antenna anyway.

Please see all the details from AOR's page below...

It has always been used indoors on a surge protected power supply, never outside or in the car.
It will be reset to factory default before sale.

It cost me £700 a few years ago and they're still not much cheaper from UK dealers.

I'm asking £450 ono for it.

Please email me on markmmobile@gmail.com

Viewing welcome.

Thanks,
