I have decided to part with my FT-726 after finally getting it set up the way I wanted. The rig is an older V/UHF multi-mode: 10W output. PieXX CTCSS (PL) tone board replaced the Yaesu option. The PieXX board is much easier to use and gives all the PL tones PLUS 1750 for opening up non-US repeaters. This is a three module transceiver set up for: HF (15, 12, 11 & 10M), 2M and the low end of 432MHz. All modules have full 10W (or more) output. I can drive my 80W 2M amp to full output with 10W in on 2M. Also included is the 600Hz CW filter option and the Satellite Duplex board option. Comes with the standard Yaesu hand mic that has a DTMF pad on it.
Originally
I set this up for LEO satellites but have used it with marginal
antennas for some DXing on 2M and as a second receiver for the HF bands.
Rig works good, cosmetics: 8.5 on a 10 pt scale. Some slight scratching around the bezel and the associated small nicks and scrapes from normal use. This rig was used in two GARS field days.
PRICE:$450.00
