I am clearing out and consolidating a couple shacks, so I
have some lightly used equipment for sale: Two Yaesu FT-897Ds,
one Icom 706MKII (this is NOT a MKII "G", but a MKII, so 2M
coverage but no 70cm/440 capability) and one Icom 703+, details
and "too much information" below:

Yaesu FT-897D #2, SN 9N210060 SOLD, pending payment
+ TCXO
+ 500 Hz Filter

Yaesu #1 above is "newer" in the sense that it was a spare
that's only been run portable (inside a car) a couple times.
Yaesu #2 was my primary base rig for the last couple years, used
mostly at very low power (5W) running a WSPR beacon.
The batteries on both appear to be holding a charge, but being
a couple years old and seldom run on internal batteries, no
guarantees on the battery longevity.
I normally keep all my boxes, but after hours of searching I
can't find them for the FT-897D, so perhaps my ex tossed them,
so those radios will be shipped nicely packed, but not in OEM
packaging.
Icom IC-706MKII SN 6426 SOLD pending payment
+ DC power cable
+ HM-103 microphone
+ Original box/packaging
+ MFJ 925 tuner and Icom cable
= $450
The Icom was my seldom-used primary base rig for several years.
It operates fine, however it predates some of the very narrow
digital modes and does not have a TCXO, so on WSPR I've noticed
a very slight drift of 20HZ within the first few seconds of
transmit. Non-issue for voice and most digital modes, possibly
a slight issue for very narrow digital modes like WSPR.
Icom IC-703+ SOLD pending payment
+ DC power cable
+ microphone
+ Original box/packaging
= $500
Almost new, but it's traveled with me on a few trips around
AZ. The 703 is at my second alternate bug-out location where I'll be
picking it up next week, so that's not available to ship until
first week of January.
I don't do paypal (or ebay, hence the ad here) payment is preferred
by postal money order. I'll provide my callsign in PMs but due
to OPSEC don't want to post it in the ad. I'm posting on the EE
to give arfcom folks the first shot, and will likely post whatever
isn't sold in the next week to QTH.com. If you're local to AZ,
let me know and we can arrange for an in-person look-see.
I'm a non-smoking anal retentive neat freak geek here, so they're
pretty clean radios, my primary 897 is just slightly dusty inside.
I'm happy to send pics or provide additional details if needed. I
purchased all radios new (ie they're single owner, me.)
bump with updates.
Post for feedback.
