> For sale is my fully working 736R with modules for 6m, 2m, 220 and 432.  It also has a working tone board that will encode and decode for use on the various FM repeaters.  Purchased used in late Fall 2012, this radio was used for 220 at the senior center in January 2013.  I put up a temporary station at the Ivyland Fire House in January 2014 and used it at home with my call January 2015.  Not surprisingly (I live in the heart of Pack Rat territory)  I made 100 contacts with my vertical Comet Cx-333 antenna on 2m, 220 and 432 -- with a few on 6m.

> I'm putting this up for sale because I'm at a bit of a cross roads with regard to ham radio.  This past January I make up a decent Bobtail antenna for 6m but not many contacts.  I need more power on 6m...  Will consider trading for an HF radio that includes a 100w on 6m.  Would love to buy the new Icom 9100 or Kenwood 590G, but that's not in the budget.  New, I'm looking at the Icom 7200 or 7100 (with D-Star).  Or maybe something like a Yaesu FT-950.
