>> I've been purchasing too much equipment fm two different estate sales & 
>> need to sell some of my existing equipment that is now surplus to my 
>> needs.  Available is a Yaesu FT-726R which includes modules for 2m 
>> (144-147.99998MHz), 70cm (430-439.99998MHz) & a rare 10m 
>> (28.0-29.99998MHz) used for the RS satellites.  This is a multi-band, all 
>> mode xcvr in very gud condx.  It includes satellite modes allowing for 
>> full duplex cross-band operation as well as the optional 600Hz CW narrow 
>> filter, MH-1B8 hand mic w/ scanning buttons & 9-10 ft fused DC cable for 
>> 13.8VDC operation.  There is no CTCSS tone unit or standard AC power cord 
>> with the dummy 4 pin Jones plug that shorts out a couple of pins when 
>> using the internal pwr supply.  I've always used it w/ a small external 
>> pwr supply.
>>
>> Also included is a photo copy of the operating manual & a cable that 
>> comes out of the bottom that can plug into an external sequencer.  I 
>> modified the "TX Inhibit" in both the 2m & 70cm modules since I used 
>> external pwr amps & mast mounted preamps which required a sequencer.  I 
>> can remove this mod if requested but the cable plugs into a shorting plug 
>> so it functions normally without a sequencer but it's a nice option to 
>> keep.  Manual shows mods for sequencer.
>>
>> All modules put out the spec'd 10 watts.  I did notice that the gain on 
>> 2m CW was a little lower than on 70cm when switching between bands but 
>> never noticed any rcv problems becuz external preamps were used.
>>
>> Over the years, w/ this xcvr I've worked a lot of 2m & 70cm DX including 
>> tropo, MS, CW EME & satellites when AO-10, AO-13, FO-20 & FO-29 were all 
>> active.  External condx is very clean (abt an 8 out of 10) & all panel 
>> lites work.  Hv 8 photos available upon request.
>>
>> If you decide to use the internal pwr supply, I'd suggest using a variac 
>> to bring up the 115VAC slowly to reform the electrolytic which has never 
>> bn used due to the external pwr supply.  I don't hv the original box but 
>> will bubble wrap extremely well & double box.  Asking $450 OBO + shipping 
>> & insurance fm zip 86323.  Paypal accepted.

>> Tnx & 73,
