Up for sale is a professionally rebuilt Tempo 501R Tracker II with a custom built retrofitted replaceable antenna with coax connector for easy replacement, avoiding a $200 repair from tempo, antenna is a ferrite rod loop antenna with ceramic capacitor, same as original design, only I use heavier gauged magnet wire and also protected from the elements. If at some point down the line you need a replacement antenna or would like to purchase ready to install in under 5 minutes back ups you can contact me through eBay to place an order.
