[MRCA] PRC-2200 For Sale

[W2HX]

All,

I have for sale a decent PRC-2200.

I have replaced the HUB battery, and the radio seems to function 100%. Here are some pictures of what is included in the sale and here is a video of some tests.

Here is what comes with the sale:
1. Radio with original NiCD battery unit. Battery needs to be re-celled. I would use LiFeO4 cells or equivalent. In fact, I think some people have purchased a replacement battery from bioenno but I don't know the specifics.
2. CP Antenna coupler
3. AB-10 whip adapter
4. Whip base, flexible (AB-591) (you will need to supply your own AT-271 whip)
5. Original and correct pack frame, ST-2243 (nearly identical to US PRC-25/77 frames) 
6. Original H-739 handset. I've never done anything with this, not sure if it works or how to test it.
7. Buyer will receive a technical manual for this version of the radio. The technical manual I have is not quite the same for the version from Schmitti, there are differences.
8. New, modern Harris backpack (this is additional $50) 

I am asking $1,000 plus shipping (or $1,050 plus shipping with the harris pack). This is a similar price to Schmitti. However, mine is already in the US, no VAT, no shipping problems, and shown tested in the video. Schmitti's comes with a dipole, mine does not. 

The only downside is, when pressing buttons on the keypad, you need to hold down for a second or two. Some have suggested the keyboard needs to be cleaned. This may or may not correct. I find that pressure on the key does not change anything which would indicate a contact resistance issue.  But a gentle press down with a few seconds hold works every time.  It certainly wouldn’t hurt to clean the contacts of the keyboard, but I'll leave that to the new owner.

This sale is as-is, PayPal friends and family and no returns unfortunately. Contact me directly thanks.

Thanks

No prob. I'm waiting to replace the hub battery and then I'll do some testing. Might be another coupla weeks, but might be sooner.
