[time-nuts] HP Z3801A Motorola Oncore VP receiver...

[Mike Feher]

Based on Larry's comments below, I ordered two of these and paid for them
with PP. Now I just got an email from the seller asking for my cell phone
number for their postal service. Anybody else on here who bought any of
these get the same request? I have purchased an ebay item from China in the
recent past, a lot more expensive, and bigger and a lot heavier than these
boards and they did not ask for my cell number. I would appreciate any
advise. Regards - Mike

All:

There's a guy on eBay that has multiple Motorola Oncore-VP receivers for
sale that are mostly compatible with the HP Z3801A, in case you are 
looking to replace a dead RX or want a spare.  I bought two of them 
from the seller and have checked them both out in my Z3801A and they 
work.  The one difference is that they have a straight RF input connector
rather than the right-angle connector.  Because of this the ant cable 
connector hits a chip on the motherboard and the RX can't be screwed all 
the way down on the mounting posts.  One can easily replace the connector
or possibly flip it to the other side of the board.   The eBay seller 
has the receivers listed in lots of two for $57, plus about $12 shipping 
to the US.  Last I looked, he had 24 lots (of two) still available.  To 
find the listing search on "Motorola Oncore" or "Oncore VP".
