*We* don’t want to repair it. I figure repairing it will be $600-800. New
ones are $3000, so someone gets a deal if they pay ~$1000 as-is. So, we’ll
sell it as-is and let someone else repair it. We’ll need those funds to
help pay for the climber.
The new antenna is $1100 and a special deal from DX Engineering.
