Sir, this could possibly be your 15 kilobytes of fame on this planet.
Do whatever you can to make these packages public, please. I now regret
not bidding on that Newton-used trimble card & antenna on ebay last
week that was part of the same project.

I have a camo utility pouch that was offered through here a few months
ago that held the 130s. And as mentioned, some of the GPS cards and
antennae have been on eBay. Someone mentioned previously what kinds of
radios they linked up with. The fact that you have one of the actual
discharged-from-service Newts (with full honors) that hasn't been
erased is incredible.
