Can anyone explain what that mess of circuit boards the Icom displayed boils down to?

Since it is being released in Japan probably some UHF/SHF radio cheaper than the 905...... Just my guess. Probably wrong

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Emoto: Can anyone explain what that mess of circuit boards the Icom displayed boils down to? The tuner and filter boards mean HF. Don't think there was a front panel board so it's probably a "black box" computer-operated radio. |

Of course the IC7300 is getting a bit dated and probably in need of a refresh. Or maybe something in between the 7300 and 7610 as a more direct competitor to the FTDX10. |

Big purchase was a UHF 1 XTS2500 for $135. Been wanting to play on amateur P25 so guess now I can.

Watching the various different YT videos about Hamvention, just like Hamcation, I wonder what percentage of the old junk that gets setup in the flea market area gets sold. Every year I go to Hamcation, I see the same old junk for sale, and it never sells. I'm sure there are a few good deals (I saw an Ameritron AL-80B for $900 at Hamcation but that's rare!).

Most of that gear will end up in a landfill when the "pack rat" ham goes SK. The grieving wives and family will be left with the task of renting a dumpster to dispose of all of that junk. |

Used to be a lot of stuff left in the flea market area at the end of the show. They have stopped most of that because the club had to pick it all up and dispose of it.

We had one for $1100 and would have sold it to anyone from Arfcom for $900. Barely used. |

When I was cruising at 36mph on my scooter through foot traffic at the indoor DX Engineering counter, it occurred to me that new hams don’t know how to trouble shoot things and that’s why my fairly priced half working items never sell. |

It seems 50/50 either stumbling across someone who has no idea of what they have or knowing someone and being trusted as a known collector. This applies to the mil stuff for the most part.
I had a couple of obvious glowing fed types spark up a conversation and ask to see my RF5800 one year. All he wanted to see was the back label and they were gone. The man goes to no known length to fuck you over. |

The old guys setup at the street side of the infield track had those overpriced 2m rigs. I could just tell they were of the "Well, they were way more than that when I bought them new!" mindset. Glanced, didn't even slow down. But, I only got a little time in the flea market on Friday morning, and a little bit on Saturday morning, and maybe an hour on Sunday before we had to leave. Got home at 10 last night, just finished getting the camper parked right in the driveway. Never touched the $1000 extra spending cash I brought. Kinda bummed about that.

typical hamfest pricing ( also QRZ.com )
charge 15% more than what HRO charges for new keep dust, boogers, cigarette ashes and cat hair on it include some stupid modifications like a toggle switch hanging off the side, or the DC cable snipped right as it exits the chassis “like new” If you dare make a lower offer, expect a pit bull style response

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dopple: I bought some cheap commercial HTs, some VHF some UHF, either could be good for MURS or GMRS. Will see if I need to repair anything on them. There was a flea market vendor near the guys from the Cincy area that had some 4" external speakers for 2/$5, picked up 4.

Nice. I almost bought some old VHF Motos…… but started having images of computers with Windows 3.1 in my office to program them and ran away. Just not my jam. Thanks for stopped by our flea market spot a couple times. I sold every item I brought…….. and walked the cash over to DX Engineering for my Yaesu 710. We came home with all that table filler stuff my dad drags around everywhere. Cant wait to take the 710 and my new Spiderbeams 33’ mast out portable. |
