I have a couple month old Yaesu FT-8800R Dual-band VHF/UHF - F.S. or
Trade - Yaesu FT-8800R - MARS/CAP Mod Done was done at the Factory! F.S. - BUT - Prefer Trade! SPECS: EXPORT MODEL FROM JAPAN (WIDE OPEN!) {Cell - NOT Blocked - Came this way from factory in Japan! Amateur VHF/UHF transceiver TX: 144-148 / 430-450 MHz (USA) RX: 108-520 / 700-1000 MHz (Cellular NOT blocked ) Mode: TX: FM/FMN RX: AM/FM/FMN RF Power output: Hi: 50/35 W POWER VARIES DEPENDING ON BAND! CAN BE MADE Mid: 20/20 W Lo2: 10/10 W Lo1: 5/5 W Sensitivity: Better than 0.2 uV (12 dB SINAD) Selectivity: 8 KHz (-6 dB), 30 KHz (-60 dB) Image rejection: N/A Voltage: 13.8 VDC +/- 15% Current drain: RX: 0.5-? A TX: Max 8.5 A Impedance: 50 ohms, SO-239 Dimensions (W*H*D): 140*42*168 mm Weight: 1 Kg Manufactured: 2003-200x Other: 1054 memories. DTMF, CTCSS & DCS 9K6 packet ready. Twin RX Detail/Terms: I am looking for a Radio, such as the RCI - 2970 DX (ALL MODE (AM, FM, USB, LSB, CW - HF) - (10, 11, 12 meter radio a plus! - The one that will do the C.B. also), But will take the 12M - 10M RCI - 2970 DX, with antenna (will take a mobile - and/or base antenna, do not need coax - have plenty of coax.). This radio goes new for $399.95, The radio I am asking to trade is new and goes for almost $500 +. I will take a simple, tunable base antenna such as one of the Solarcon models like the Antron A-99, I-MAX-99, IMAX -2000 or similar antenna, or a mobile antenna of the same specifications (must be tunable from 12 - 10 meters. And with the trade, I will match the deal with the same, a mobile antenna for a mobile antenna, or a tunable base antenna for a tunable 12 to 10 meter antenna, (The FT-8800R + Dual-Band base antenna was over $670+ just 2 months ago, and the radio has never been outside the house, and the mic has never "seen" cigarette smoke! I am ready to practice the HF bands as there are now HF privileges available to us Technicians, and plan to use the radio to work CW to prepare for my upgrade to General Class, then eventually to Extra Class, and want something simple to start off with until I get proficient with CW AND SSB phone before I later go to a "high-end" HF rig. I also like the specs of the RCI-2970 DX since it will also do 10 M FM phone for repeater work, (I actually got to watch a friend make contacts off of the St. Thomas, Virgin Islands 29.660 repeater in the early 1990's and that just blew me away, listening to people from the Alps in Europe getting into the 29.660 "Doorbell" machine in St. Thomas on an RCI-2950 (stock!), with about 10 - 12 watts FM, I was turned on the hobby right then and there, and have always dreamed of doing such one day, and now since Techs can operate these repeaters now, I am ready to get into it. So ANYONE wishing to make a great deal, I will take an older, but good working condition RCI-2970 DX or similar rig like the RCI-2950 DX kit (2970 DX preferred as it is still cheaper that the FT-880R EXPORT model, and it has 12 to 10 meters and just the right amount of RF out) . I would really rather trade, as I do not need money, I just want so bad to get on the 12 to 10 M bands, and especially work the 10 M FM repeaters, and from where I am in FL, I have seen the band opening of the 10 M repeaters just hag wide open for quite sometime, I saw an opening into the St Thomas "doorbell" repeater stay open for weeks at the time easily, and that blew my mind. please feel free to contact me @ and I will give you my number and address if you wish, an I will be glad to make this trade ASAP. If you are just interested in my radio and do not have the radio I am looking for, I will be happy to sell my rig to raise the funds so I may purchase the RCI-2970 DX and a base antenna, I am pressed for time, as I am disabled, and I will only have a little help to get the antenna up and the coax run before my helper will be gone for the Spring / Summer. Thanks, 73 Walter |
