old IC-M600 ssb opinion??
I noticed a IC-M600 with a AT120 tuner on ebay.. Not much bidding activity
and current bid is pretty low. Item number: 2464392650 I'm wonder about opinions on this as a marine SSB? Any good? Better than nothing? etc. The tuner should be worth something. I know it is about half the size of the SEA tuner I presently have.. I currently have an old SEA 223 w/tuner but haven't found room to mount either because of their size.. Just curious.

thanks, that link was very encouraging.. I also found that the manual isn't
on IcomAmerica site but did find it on the World site, along with the manual for AT120. Now I will see how the bidding goes.. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

It is an excellent radio. Should be worth around $1000.00 for the
pair. Regards Gary On Thu, 4 Mar 2004 13:22:08 -0800, "Steve" wrote: I noticed a IC-M600 with a AT120 tuner on ebay.. Not much bidding activity and current bid is pretty low.

Shhh! remember this is on an auction..

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 s/v Good Intentions |

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.) Mark |

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. Bill N2VZ "Mark Reichow" wrote in message om... Steve, I'm guessing you didn't win the action since the user ID was trawler13 and you're a S/V.

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. Steve s/v Good Intentions |
