[aprssig] Looking for an EJ41U TNC

[Joel Maslak]

Sure, I have one in my IGate that is currently unplugged while a TNC- 
X does the job the EJ-41U is supposed to do.  I'm willing to send it  
Monday and wait until whenever you feel like it for a T2-135 - I've  
got a working system now, so I'm in no hurry.
