I am taking offers for my NOAA APT receive system. The system is made up of a R2ZX receiver, a National RF 137 MHz QFH antenna with pre-amp, and a Vanguard Turnstile Antenna with pre-amp. The receiver is only three months old, the QFH is a week old, and the turnstile antnenna is over 10 years old (In very good shape). Can be used on the road while storm chasing also!!

I have vision problems and purchased this system to have as a hobby. However, I can't spend the time needed to setup the system.

Make me an offer I cannot refuse!

Yes...APT is from the three remaining NOAA low earth orbit satellites. Each satellite passes over your location twice a day. This is the equipment needed to receive the fax signal.

Forgot to add...also including a Uniden BC-145 scanner which is modified for satellites and a Hamtronics preselctor.
