I bought a 3250 (same type) to modify for field work. Excellent receiver. He was asking $800.00, but got it for $600.00. I had to replace the VFD display which are getting very difficult to find. If you own one, you'll want to keep it...a very underrated radio.You can see mine here.Gud sigs to all,Bob, N1KPR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UD3PcLVYSg
