Re: Frickin' eBay!
Tell them is doesn't use MHz - say it uses metres, or perhaps multiples of thousands of kHz.

Re: Frickin' eBay!
Maybe someone has it in for you an reported the item...
Ebay as per usual will take the easy route an pull the item regardless of the rights or wrongs..
They did it with me over some old surplus desert uniform i had lying about... Someone reckoned it was stolen an Ebay pulled it... guilty until proven innocent!

Re: Frickin' eBay!
They could be under the common misconception that anything that transmits is gonna wipe out every emergency service radio within a 100000 mile radius
Or probz was dropped because its an AM set and opperating too close to the VHF air band that uses AM for modulation
In all honesty I`d have replied and said that 153.425Mhz FM is exactly the same freq as 153.425Mhz AM, its just the modulation that differs here and ask em if theyre gonna remove all these puxings because they can goto 153.425Mhz
It does sound like someone has reported the item though
I had a friend that listed a 25 to 30Mhz (I think it was on those freqs) ranger and it too was pulled after someone tried to knock my mate down on his postage or offered a buy it now price and my mate wasnt interested, after he said he wasnt interested the item was pulled within the hour
Get someone else to list it for you and use one of the ebay special descriptions i.e. if you know what this rig is then you know what it can do lol

Re: Frickin' eBay!
TBH I aint looked on the eBay prohibited items list and as for it being illegal, pass, I wouldn`t know but my point was it was fine and was listed for a good 6 days untill some plank decided to report the item after my mate said no to a buy it now or a reduction in postageYeti wrote:They are an eBay prohibited item though (and also illegal to boot).smoggy07 wrote:I had a friend that listed a 25 to 30Mhz (I think it was on those freqs) ranger and it too was pulled
eBay are a crock of sh*t when it comes to things like this and in all honesty I think I`m going to start using eBid and other sites like that

What i found is if you list an item telling people in the description what freq it covers IE: 25 - 30mhz chances are it will get pulled [if reported], With similar/same items with hardly any description usually stays, If you keep the description to a minimum and dont say what feq it covers just say something like "Anyone who knows this knows what it does" then 9 times out of 10 it wont get pulled, This though is just coming from my own experience as i have had some pulled and not others were i left out the freq coverage bit.

Re: Frickin' eBay!
Well, eBay have quietly admitted they were wrong - the RC690 appeared in my "Unsold" list tonight, without so much as an email of apology...

Re: Frickin' eBay!
Hi there guys, sorry to hear you had problems with the sale of your Marconi rc690 radio, i purchased two of these radio's from E bay a while back and they were advertised as ex fire service units, might i suggest you try re-advertising them as Ex-Fire Service units, just a thought.
I have got one of my units running but the other is showing the red Tx light permanently on!! is there a chance you guys have access to the service manual or circuit diagrams for these excellent radios, i'm willing to pay for any copies you can send me.
Best Regard
Nick G8UCL
