[ICOM] IC-375

[mecker at peoplepc.com]

thank you for this info. This means that
highly inflated prices, 1250.00 may be
a farce, a few isolated cases, possibly
even a scam, to sell this rig for that much.
I think it was initially because there werent
many ic-375s available, but after what you
just said, Im not sure I even want to buy
one let alone pay 1400.00 for an 15 percent
or more listing fee ebay sale.
I guess a 220FM mobile, like several currently
being made by other manufactuers eg: ALinco
, is well under 300.00 and very affordable,
not so bad to loose. -Marc KE2BP
