All,

A few weeks ago Chris Long (ChrisL@........... contacted me about buying
some GPS interface boards from me. He has 20, and will be getting a total of
80, Motorola ONCORE GPS receivers and antennas. They are slightly used but
in good condition. I had him send me one of each so I could test them with
SDR and they work fine. They are exactly the same receiver I have been
selling except these have the battery option. The antenna is similar to the
one I have been selling for awhile except the wire is a lot shorter. The
antenna I got from him has ~45 inch (1.1 meters) of wire and manufactured by
AeroAntenna Technology. The part number is AT575-109-OCXR-48-05-12-NM. See
this page http://www.aeroantenna.com/html/ordering.html for more info. The
GPS antenna I have been sell has 16 feet (4.8 m) of wire, other then that,
both seem to work about the same. See
http://www.seismicnet.com/gps/index.html for information on the ONCORE GPS
receiver and the antenna I am selling.

Chris would like to sell the GPS parts in lots of ten. The units we don't
buy from him will probably be placed on EBay with a starting bid of ~$45 for
the receiver and $10.00 for the antenna. I plan to buy 10 or 20 for my stock
and sell a complete timing system, including my interface board for around
$120.00. This would be 1/2 of the current price using new GPS receivers and
antennas.

Please let me know if you are interested in one or more of the GPS receivers
and / or antennas, or a complete time system including my interface board.

Chris also has the following hardware for sale:

12v NIMH battery packs. Come in sets of 2 3500AH packs, for a total of 12v
7000AH. I have a quantity of about 80+ of these packs. Cells are slightly
bigger than AA batteries.

9.6V NIMH battery packs, with a built in charging circuit. AAA size, 8 cells
total. Not sure of AH capacity, estimating 350.

I also have a James special charger and charging circuit for both packs,
that allows someone to integrate the batteries into a project easily.

Octagon Systems 6024 MicroPC SBC CPU module, 8088 XT, 1 MB memory, can
accept PLCC flash memory and 28 pin DIP flash to allow a grand total of 1 MB
of disk space, LPT, 2 COM, KB/SPKR, ISA bus, and 24 Digital I/O ports. These
actually run DOS and files can be transferred back and forth via a serial
console.

Air Communications Aircommunicator, combines an Ericsson AMPS cell phone and
a 14.4k modem. These are units without cases designed to be embedded into a
project. Even without a display or keypad, the units are remotely
controllable via a serial port.

Please contact Chris Long (ChrisL@........... for any of the items above.
