[KI4SYC]

I like my Yaesu FT-60R.

[KJ4ACS]

do you two want to sell it ?

[KD0BIK]

No...if you're interested in purchasing a used HT, perhaps posting in the "Wanted" section would be the best.

[KJ4ACS]

i did ask in the looking forum, no luck yet.

[KD0BIK]

Great....well give it a little time. You might also look into ham clubs in your area. Many have swap lists. If you're not a member of a local ham club, you might check into that. This way you'll meet other hams in your area and someone might have an HT they want to sell.

Hello,

My very first 2m/440 HT was a IC-W2A that I got from eBay for 75$. It worked quite well and had a strong signal out. Unfortunately it's barely breathing currently (I accidentally bricked it). I would sell it to you if it was fully operational.

I would recommend you check out ebay and look for a good, used dual band ht. However, be ULTRA cautious with properly checking feedback, reading the description. Ask yourself this one question: is the seller an Honest Ham? Does the description look like its coming from someone who really knows the radio, or just someone who's selling a bunch of electronics. Check their previous sales. If they have a lot of ham radio equipment good chance is they are a ham. If you see mostly CB radios, cd players, etc. I would be cautious.

When dealing on ebay, deal with Hams http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Also, google the username to see if they come up on any negative feedback forums.

Hi all,

Maybe I am biased but I prefer Icom and am very happy with my Icom 91A which I purchased new. An awsome little radio. If you are looking at making a second hand purchase like with any second hand gear always do your research first and if you are looking at purchasing on ebay make sure you check out the sellers feedback both positive and otherwise and rating score, that is most important.

Good luck.
