[ICOM] IC-970A deluxe VHF/UHF for sale?

[mel martin]

I came across a very nice IC970A which I couldn't resist because it's so
impressive. This thing is BIG! It's the same size as an IC781. It includes
the 1.2GHz module and the internal PS-35 and also includes the rare TV970
Fast Scan TV unit.

However I'm suffering from buyer's remorse! I also purchased recently a used
Alpha 87A and that more than exhausted the ham budget for the year.

It's not the cost of the radio that concerns me... It's the fact I don't
have any antennas for 450 and 1.2GHz and, since my existing 2 towers are
loaded, it means another structure. I'm starting to worry about how much I
may end up spending before I'm finished as I have a penchant for large
antennas ;-)

I'm seriously considering removing the temptation!

Would anyone be interested in purchasing this radio?

If so, drop me a note at ve2dc at rac.ca and I can provide further details and
discuss what it might be worth... I would appreciate serious offers only...
Thanks.
