I am selling my Model 525 Argosy II. This model is the one with the
digital display. Briefly, this CW/SSB transceiver covers the normal
ham bands, 80 - 10 meters, including 30 meters but does not cover 18
or 12 meter bands. It has two maximum output power settings: 50
watts and 5 watts, controlled by a switch on the rear panel.

I would say that the rig is in very good overall condition. I have
had it on the air, both SSB and CW, recently. It works fine, and
I have gotten good signal and audio reports. It has full output
(45-50 watts) on all bands as measured with my Bird meter into a
dummy load.

The face is in excellent condition with no scratches or obvious wear
marks. The top of the case has a few small scratches (just in the
paint), and there are some scratches on the bottom of the
case. There are no deep scratches or dents on the rig. I will email
photos of the rig to anyone seriously interested in the rig. (NOTE:
these are high res. jpg images, about 600 Kbytes each)

The rig comes with the companion Model 225 power supply, and with
the original manual, but with no other options or accessories. The
power supply has some small scratches and chips in the paint along
the edges, sides, and top of its case.

I am asking $275.00, plus shipping from zip code 20159, for the
transceiver and power supply. Thanks for looking at this.
