I have an Icom IC-FS4-S 438 - 480MHz, 32 channels, 1/5 watt, UHF portable for trade. It's currently programmed for all FRS/GMRS frequencies, GMRS emergency repeater 462.675 / 467.675 + 141.3Hz, and a few Ham repeaters. The radio is in good working condition and has a GREAT receiver, but the battery might need to be replaced. It will usually hold a charge for a while, but will drain quickly with heavy transmit use. I'm also pretty sure this radio uses the same battery as the Icom IC-V8 and V8-2. I will include the desktop charger, battery, good working antenna, and programming software. I am really looking for maybe an older 2 meter OR 440 mobile, or a RigBlaster. I may also trade for a nice VHF/UHF dual band mobile antenna (plus cash, depending on the antenna).

Send me a PM

Hello,

I tried to send you a PM, but QRZ said you have opted to refuse private messages.

If the radio is still up for grabs please email me at mycall at yahoo.com.

Thanks & 73,
Dan / ab0re

p.s. - The radio appears to take the same batteries as the old IC-T2H (discontinued), not the V8 series.

Thats odd because I was talking to someone over PM earlier today. I looked it up and it says the FS4 uses the same battery as the IC-V8. Anyway, yes I still have it. What do you have to offer?
