I still have some items for sale from the W8XM estate. Dick Moser from
Dalton OH was originally licensed in 1933 at age 12 and was still pushing a
hot key right before he passed away, 80 years later, in 2013. All items
are located at my home in Apple Creek, and must be viewed and picked up
here. I DO NOT want to ship this radio ..
The main W8XM radio was a ICOM IC-761, which was at one time Icom's top of
line transceiver, meant to compete with the Kenwood TS-930 and Yaesu
FT-1000. About a year before Dick became a silent key, this radio was checked
out and pronounced "fit as a fiddle" by a world class technician.
For those of you not familiar with the IC-761, here are a few features:
Built in automatic antenna tuner ... Full Break In CW .... Built in
electronic keyer .. Both 1st and 2nd IF 500 Hz CW filters are standard
... Built in power supply ... Receive antenna jack .. 160 through
10 meters ... known for quality RX and TX audio, "easy on the ears".
Bottom line .. This is a quality, competitive radio that can handle
today's DX, contest, or rag chewing environment, as well as radio's several
times more expensive. For someone who wants "quality" at a reasonable price,
this is a good option.. Ideal for beginners and old timers alike.
"Asking" $450 -- for this price, you "pick up". Includes some "extras".
Will post other items later after "check out".
