That's a shame, if it was a boxed and complete LT2S in good condition,
I'd get my wallet out :-)

Anybody else? LT2S or DB6NT.

I have the guts of an LT2S, a TV 28-144 and PA1441 for sale for
$225.00 USD + Shipping.

Time was the ICOM 751 (with Mutek) was the only VHR multiband to have.

My 736 is deaf as a post on 70cm, BTW. Good job it has a mast head pre-amp
switch (and power thru the antenna socket) on the front panel - it certainly
needs it. Not so on 2 or 6m though.



Icom 751!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VHF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would also need a much fatter wallet.

But for 1/3 or less the price you can't put this in a box and add a
couple of relays?

I'm only interested in a good condition (preferably as new), complete
and un-modified LT2S or DB6NT TR144. I will pay accordingly.

I knew that's what you meant...

I've had a few old Icoms and had nothing but problems with dry solder
joints...I'm sticking with the FT-736R...outperforms my FT-847...

If you're looking for used, give preference to radio's which have a Mutek front-end build

I prefer the Yaesu FT736-R (with Mutek) over many other radio's, however this is personal.
Guess the fact that you don't often see them used is a sign?
If you want the very best look for something like a TS850+transverter (SSB Electronics
LT2+ or DB6NT) but that will cost you.

To get into the VHF scene in Europe check into the ON4KST site at www.on4kst.com/chat Lots
of info can be gotten there as well as real-time propagation and activity info.

Thanks to everyone who responded, I will bear in mind all your
comments. I have few months to decide before I have the cash. On
with the research!

I must get down the club station and put a few calls out then. Is it still
the norm to call CQ on .300 then QSY?

yes.

Tuesday evenings seem to be the most active.

2m SSB sounded like 20m a couple of days ago with the Meteor Shower.

My call is M0WWS. I had an accident,
and I woke up in uk.radio.amateur.
Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time?
