[ICOM] FS: Excellent++ IC-765

[Jan C. Robbins]

Hi Isaac,
Here are some answers to your questions.

No mic or service manual with this one (765's didn't come with mics).

It has optional 250hz CW and AM filters.

The 765 requires the external Icom CT-17 interface or some non-Icom 
equivalent (there are many inexpensive ones around--on ebay, from MFJ, 
etc.).  I use the CT-17 with my Icoms and LOGic software.

Purchase date would have been somewhere in early 1990's I THINK.

Package is 21x21x13 and weighs about 35lbs.

I prefer PayPal, but an international money order is also acceptable, or 
a cashier's check written on an account in a U.S. bank (I would simply 
wait until it clears before shipping).

I am open to any reasonable suggestion concerning shipping method.  I 
DON'T like Air Parcel Post because of the absence of tracking info (they 
can't even tell you what carrier they used) and slow service.  El-Al for 
overseas makes sense, and getting the package to Albany is easy.

Hope all that helps!  73 Jan N0JR
