[HCRA] FOR SALE: QRP station

[Rick Lindquist]

FOR SALE: Yaesu FT-817ND low-power transceiver (5 W). Covers all HF bands,
plus 6 and 2 meters and 70 cm, CW, SSB, AM, FM. It has the optional W4RT
500-Hz CW filter plus the 1400 mAh FNB-85 NiCad pack, NC-72B charger, hand
mic, carrying strap, rubber duckies and dry battery holder. Radio has very
low hours. I bought it new in 2005, and it's repacked in the original carton
with the manual. 

QRP station package includes Paddlette mini CW paddle and mini
Outbacker-style portable telescoping antenna I bought at Friedrichshafen
that can attach right to the rear SO-239. This radio sells new for $599.99
at AES. The W4RT Collins filter goes for $109.99. I paid $60 for the little
antenna. The Paddlette was given to me. Free delivery within 25 miles of
Springfield. Asking $595 for all.

It's a great little radio and in excellent condition, but it's surplus to my
current needs.
