Hi. I'm new to this board.

I've been volunteering with an arts organization in Austin, TX for a few years. We host events and require communication services. A few years ago we ditched our old motorola setup in favor of migrating to a newer system. An engineer on our team devised a multichannel trunking system based on HT-1250-LS radios figuring we could suppliment our base system with rental equipment if necessary using more modern gear.

Part of this system entailed trunking 6 frequency pairs off a single antenna. It required a specialized low-PIM antenna but was otherwise off the shelf and allowed us to obtain a low power license through the FCC by utilizing equipment to steer the antenna to handheld sources. It was pretty slick. We were in the final stages of buildout and our engineer was injured and the project is pretty much dead. Most of the equipment for the trunking repeater is in Nevada where the engineer was except for this antenna.

I sourced the darn thing through Hutton Communications. It had to be special ordered and shipped from Australia and is now sitting in our warehouse. We're keeping the HT-1250s since they're compatible with other rental equipment we use but this brand new antenna seems to have no use.

It is an EA4040-67-DIN

You can find the spec's in this catalog.

I'm sorry if this fails the spam test but I'm trying to find it a good home. It seems stupid to leave it sitting in our warehouse but listing it in conventional ads seems unlikely to find anyone who would even know what to do with it.

In any case please feel free to contact me directly if you are interested in this antenna. I'll tell you what I can about it. It's still in the shipping crate and has never been set up since we never had a working repeater to hook it up to.
