Hi All,  Haven't been active on the echo for quite a while. Been
out beating the bushes for a radio job.  I have managed to find a
job with a progressive company, but not progressive enough that
they will pay for a vb2-plus.  I can understand that, the 7,000
price tag is a bit scary. But as I see it, that is what I will need
to be able to  do news and also get involved in copy writing at the
station.  Can anyone suggest funding sources?  D.B.S.  here in
Florida will not help in any way, cause the job is partime to begin
with.  Anyone take time payments on a used vb2-plus that can be
interfaced to a  news wire, hahaha. Time payments being the only
way I could go. Any suggestions?  BTW, the job is in Plainview TX,
70 miles south of Amirillo, pardon the spelling of Amirillo. Any
help would be greatly appreciated. The vb2-plus is not absolutely
necessary for the job to be done, but the way it stands now, it
will take two people to do the job that one can do.  That is
something which could result in resentment later on, and I don't
want that.
