Then of course this is a "AS IS" auction with no claims or assurances that
they haven't been 'fryed' by a lightening strike.

And a guy has to purchase a mike and power cable to even check them out. ;o(

Steve,

I'm guessing you didn't win the action since the user ID was trawler13
and you're a S/V. At $430 it would have been a pretty good deal on a
working radio. Have you considered an Icom IC706-mkIIG with an AH-4
tuner? The set with the remote head kit can be had for about $1000
shipped from Texas Towers and probably others. It's a ham radio of
course and by removing a singe diode, you're open to "full coverage".
It will even serve as a back up marine VHF via the 2-meter. It works
great for SailMail/WinLink too. (PLEASE, no lecture on the law from
anyone. It's been covered.)

If you use a 706 use the AT-130 marine tuner instead of the AH-4.he
interface is the same and a much better tuner.

Yes, I would like to know why, as well.

I just purchased a 706 and the AH-4 and I'm in the process of installing the
tuner now.

One thing for sure, is the AH-4 is much smaller that the old AT120 and that
is an important factor for my installation.

From what I can see in the specs, the AH-4 is a better tuner for
the 706. The AT-130 won;t tune up into the 50 Mhz band. The
AH-4 also has 45 memories vs 8 for the AT-130. Beyond that
they seem pretty similar. The compact size of the AH-4 is
attractive.
