REPROGRAMMING NOT INCLUDED.
Radio can be placed back in the commercial service from 42-50 mhz.
The radio has been adjusted for 6 meters.
This radio is a 100 watt unit and works well. These would be great for a ham club, as I have more. The receiver sensitivity can not be measured by me but works. A little tuneup might even improve it some.
Photo is of similar radio, I did not retake photo. Radios have been in service, so used, but not abused. I will check the radio for transmit and receive before I ship it, but realize I can not accurately measure the sensitivity, but should be more than adequate. Hold down screw may be missing.
6 Meters is the "magic band", capable of communications across the U.S. when the band is open. I have made ham contacts up to 50 miles base to mobile and talked through repeaters over 100 miles away with similar radios, even when the band is not open.
Photo is not of the exact radio , but very similar. I did not retake photo. Some have tape residue and need some cleaning, but will be working.
Radio is tested and working and will not be DOA, but SOLD STRICTLY AS IS, as with all electronics.
USA Buyers Only. Buyer pays a fixed shipping with lower 48 US states and prepays with PayPal.
