Hi friends,

I have an elderly friend who purchased a new Paragon II in 1996.  He had =
a technician license, and hoped to upgrade to general.  Due to declining =
health, he was never able to upgrade, and has lost interest in the =
radio.

It was used to transmit only once when I set it up for him, and checked =
it out by making a single contact.  He also used the radio on several =
occasions for short wave listening.  He is a non-smoker, and has kept =
the radio covered with a towel.  I looked at it yesterday, and I =
couldn't find a blemish on it anywhere.

He wants to sell it.  It has the full set of filters (2.4 through 250), =
and the hand-held mike.  He paid $2062 for it in 1996.  What would be a =
fair, realistic price?  Any comments would be welcome.  If you are =
interested, you will enjoy dealing with the owner, Mr. Tom Redmond, a =
gentleman of the highest integrity (KE4YKK).

Contact me via email or phone.
