Giving Away My Equipment - Bay Area

Hi, all. I've dropped out of the hobby and am offering my equipment free to a good home. Pickup only, Oakland, CA. I have two companion radios, three repeaters, and a T-Deck. I'd rather them be used than moulder in my garage.

EDIT: I've had a few DMs already, so I guess I should post a complete list if the equipment so people can claim it. I'll update this post with that list sometime tomorrow. I'll have felt motivated to dig it all out of my garage by then :)

EDIT: In case anyone asks, I'm dropping out of mesh due to Discord. I don't get very good reception where I am and relied upon Discord to stay engaged. I already didn't like Discord, and the thought of a decentralized, open project using something radically opposite for it's communication bothered me, but I accepted it. When the age verification announcement happened, I cancelled my account. I'm never going back. Sadly, that also cut me off almost entirely from the mesh community, so I don't feel like maintaining and updating equipment I'm not getting much use out of. I understand why mesh uses Discord and why it's difficult to switch, but as long as Discord is the main hub, mesh isn't for me :(
