[ICOM] RE: 735 memory battery

[Adam Farson]

Hi Hart,

The IC-735 is getting rather long in the tooth; spare parts are unavailable,
and you could eventually end up spending more on repairs than you did on the
radio. The 735 you saw is very over-priced; the going rate is around USD
300 - 350.

USD 600 will get you a brand new IC-718, with UT-106 DSP module, at the
major US dealers. With the loonie at par, that is a pretty good deal.
Radioworld's price is CAD 649, and you get the Canadian warranty.

Oh well, it's your money, your choice...

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

That's good to hear. There is one for sale here for 600 bucks at a local ham
store.
