Peter and Listers:
Is anybody offering $$ for dBcom units without trading them on AMB units?
If I race exclusively with VDCA (who still does T & S the old fashioned
way) I don't need a transponder of either brand, but would like to get some
$$ for the dBcom and turn it into "speed " equipment for the race car.
Anybody interested in a low mileage transponder used by a little old lady
only on weekends (that's what some of my fellow racers say), I have one
available. Contact me off list.
Bob
