[TenTec] scads of ic-1300

[Gary J FollettDukes HiFi]

I could not agree more!

Why buy used when you can buy new for $100 more? Those folks want to get rid of those radios but don’t expect to lose anything in the process.

However, over the past two months there have been 7300’s offered for $1000. Eagle’s on the other hand, seem to be selling for higher prices than three months ago.
