[Alinco] FS: Alinco DJ-580 dual band HT

[John Geiger]

I have for sale an Alinco DJ-580 dual band HT for sale.  This HT does dual receive, and has been modified for wideband receive and transmit, and you can even receive all over on 800mhz, in case you want to.  It has 3 battery packs with it:  1 7.2v NIMH pack, 1 7.2v NICD pack, and 1 12 volt pack. The HT does about 2.5 watts with the 7.2V packs, and 5 watts with the 12 volt pack.  All of the batteries charge up, but I cannot guarantee how long they will hold a charge.  The 580 also comes with an MFJ dualband antenna, copy of the manual, and the drop in trickle charger.

Now this 580 is not in mint or excellent shape.  It has some scratches on the case, and a few on the LCD window.  The lettering on a couple of keys has worn off.  And the tuning knob acts up at times, but you can do all of that stuff from the keypad anyway. The HT does work fine, has good audio, and built in PL tones.  

If you don't care about appearances, this is a cheap way to get a great dual band HT that receives everywhere, even in the naughty places (800mhz cell phones).  I am asking $120 shipped in the CONUS.  I can take paypal or MO.
