Bummer, head to your local club or perhaps your elmer can help.

 

It would probably be helpful if you posted the kind of equipment you are looking for, what bands and modes you like to operate, etc.

 

Have you recorded the serial numbers, so you can
list the missing gear in the Stolen Radios forum?

And may the a-hole perp(s) get their just deserts.

 

I had some gear stolen when I was in high school, and I can give you a few tips I got from some local elmers.

1. Make a sheet with the serial numbers AND a copy of your police report and take it to local pawn shops. If the thief didn't know what he had, then that is the most likely place.

2. Check craigslist and ebay multiple times a day. You can search "near you" on ebay.

3. Contact some ham friends to let it be known to local clubs/nets.

I am so sorry this happened to you!

Well, he is a technician, and there has to be someone nearby to help him out...Isn't that what hams do???? Was that way as long as I remember, which is a long long time.....A Chinese rig might work for him.....

 

Sorry for your loss. And not to appear to be rude, but do you not have home owners insurance which would cover your equipment loss?
