I'll give ya fity cent for it :)

The problem is that $57k price tag is most likely what the Govt. paid for it (however many years ago) and it is now just surplus. It is probably worth less than $1k these days.

I once had a Freq Counter that cost $38,000 ( GigaTronics ) just cuz it went into the higher Ghz range ... probably could buy for $300 now.

Yeah, I'm thinking this technology is handheld now....at least for a lesser capacity. This may be a "Base Station" of some sort as one cryptic invoice states. Oh well, it's packed up in it's case. If the rest of the unit were here I would've tried it.... Warning Will Robison, Warning!

I believe you can get most of the functionality now in an Iridium handheld sat phone....

You can hear a mouse get a hard-on with that thing!!

can you give it back to the mfg for a credit ?

"I mean it was a present and I would rather have your #$% model. It's brand new mister."

For a laugh, I would try returning it to a local Radio Shack. Just tell them your wife bought it as a gift last week....

LOL, youz guys are killin me. It was made by Maganavox in Deer Park New York....not tooo far from here. Do they have an outlet store, Ron? lol

Fedex is picking her up tomorrow. Was probably the most sophisticated piece of equipment in my possesion ever..pretty cool.

Now *that* would be funny...

The Radio Shack guys would probably sport major wood if they saw the thing....Second thought, I'll keep it home...lol

Yes, I need my head examined.....

I doubt it...Radio Shack is like the world's longest running garage sale...

cool stuff.........if anything it'll be a good conversation piece :D

Why no tilt it back so it's pointing straight up, remove the white center probe thing, get a peice of glass cut to fit over it and use it as a coffee table... would make a good ice breaker / conversation item. ;) :D

HOLY CRAP RICKM.... I literally spit beer all over the monitor when I saw that!!![

I posted this page to a friend of mine who deals with tv / sat. stuff, if he has ant ideas I will let you know.

Cool thanks. That coffee table idea is actually pretty good....plus you could heat food up on it. :p

I'd like to know more about where it came from??? What auction? How was it described? and how much did you pay for it!??

Pictures of the case!

Here come the black helicopters....
