Evidently I'm not up on politics like I used to be, this is the first time I heard that term and had to look it up. Groypers are adherents to the extreme right and see fascism as an acceptable counter to the far left. I've always maintained that the pendulum swings back proportionally and given how far left it's swung I guess this shouldn't surprise me, but it does. 
In this article the author delves into the factors propelling this swing, mainly loss of faith in our institutions and hopelessness. https://roddreher.substack.com/p/what-i-...washington
I've been called a right-winger but I've always been more of a conservative libertarian. This stuff scares me as much as communism does.
Wandering off into end-times prophecy, I've long maintained that the USA couldn't exist as it does today for the battle of armegeddon to take place with all the armys of the world against Israel. Maybe that time is closer than I thought.

Unused: Condor EXO Plate Carrier Gen II Olive Drab / Large

I bought this fro LA Police Gear in Nov. 2020 and never used it. It is too big and bulky for me. It’s been in a closet ever since. I paid $73.95 and the current price is $95.95.

I’m asking $50.00 plus shipping. PM me if interested.

The magazine pouches did not come on the carrier. I added those later but they are included.

Lightly Used Kenwood MC-60A Desk Microphone With Yaesu Adapter

I’ve had this in 2021 but haven’t used it much because I prefer a hand mic. When I did use it I got great audio reports. It is excess to my needs. I don’t recall the price I paid for it but the going price on Ebay is $120 - $150.

I’m asking $80.00 plus shipping. The Kenwood to Yaesu adapter shown below is included as well as a copy of the owners manual.PM me for shipping quote if interested.

Kenwood MC-60A Desk Microphones provide a rich and crisp audio response that is a large part of the legendary sound that Kenwood transceiver owners have enjoyed for decades.
MC-60A microphones have a handy coiled cord terminated with a standard 8-pin round mic connector for use on dozens of modern Kenwood transceivers.
They also feature a large Push-To-Talk switch (PTT) with a locking button for long transmissions in the roundtable.
Classically crafted and finished in a light-ash hue with black trim, MC-60A dynamic unidirectional microphones are built with a heavy die-cast base that really stays put. Up-Down tuning buttons on the base controls frequency on many newer radios and a dual impedance switch on the mic body allows them to be adapted for use on older transceivers. As delivered, they are set to low impedance.
Many long term users aren't aware that MC-60A Desk Mics have a built-in preamp that is powered by two internal AA batteries. This is a great feature for some of the older transceivers. In fact, these mics have a great smooth sound when the preamp switch is set to "Off", or when they're used without batteries. This is especially true on the newer radios, such as the TS-2000 series, with excellent mic input circuits that do not need pre-amplified audio.
MC-60A microphones are compatible with many modern and legacy Kenwood (and other-brand) transceivers, including mobile transceivers with RJ-45 8-pin modular mic connectors when used with the optional Kenwood MJ-88 8-pin round to 8-pin modular adapter.

Overview
Microphone Type: Amateur/Standard
Microphone Element: Single
Microphone Element Type: Dynamic
Microphone Connector Type: 8-pin round, female
Push-To-Talk Switch: Yes
Frequency Response (-6 dB): 150 Hz to 10 kHz, preamp off; 200 Hz to 7 kHz, preamp on
Impedance: 500 ohm, Low; 50,000 ohm, High
Notes: On most Kenwood radios, microphone function does not require installation of two AA cells.
