[SEDXC] Sell: Elecraft K1, MFJ-259B, Yaesu VX-5R

[Don Nesbitt]

More stuff excess to my needs - as usual, offered to dues paying club (SEDXC or NFARL) members first - please don't pass this along to all your non-club member friends unless they are willing to join one of these two clubs!  If the stuff goes outside our club members, the prices will be substantially higher - it's a perk of being a member!

This is an older unit in excellent physical and electrical working condition.  Total if new from HRO $302.85 not including tax.  Price for dues paying club member is $140.00 (it pays to pay your dues!)

3.  Yeasu VX-5R  50/144/430 MHz Handi with original Yaesu manual and accessories including:

ADMS-1E Programming Software with instructions, disk and cable
Mini Pocket Reference by VE3AYR
Yaesu NC-72B Charger

This is an older unit with a good battery in perfect working condition.  Several years ago, I had one of the vendors at Dayton
do the modification to "open" the it up for expanded RxTx frequencies.  This modifications includes LIMITED coverage on 220.  It does NOT go high enough on 220 to operate with repeaters! Our own Niel Foster (N4FN) tried to use it for 220 repeaters and confirms that it DOES NOT go high enough.  Apparently the expanded TX range includes 48 - 68.995; 119 - 221.995; and 305 - 579.995 MHz.  Frankly I couldn't tell you as I just don't use either handi-talkies or repeaters - other than the fact that it works as it should, when it comes to the other frequencies, you're on your own with this one.

Price for dues paying club member is $75 (it pays to pay your dues!)

Thanks for the bandwidth and thanks for looking.  NO, I won't give additional discounts - don't ask - NO, I will not pay for shipping - YES, all other questions cheerfully answered.  I can deliver any and all to the next SEDXC - meeting tomorrow (Thursday Aug 16th) and can be reached at 404-218-3595 Cellular or via this email address.  Look for me from Swain's Island (http://www.nh8s.org) early in September - see you in the pile-ups -- Don N4HH
