[SixClub] ICOM 551D

[Stensonk at aol.com]

I have had a 551D since 2000 and was my only 6M radio until this  summer.  It 
does not have all the bells and whistles that a more modern rig  has but it 
performs very well.  With the 551D and modest antennas (loop and  3 element 
beam - both in the attic) I worked over 300 grids and 45  countries.  Think you 
also got a good deal on yours - I see them routinely  selling for over $300 
without a power supply.  I am sure you will have fun  with it.

Hello  everyone.
I just picked up an ICOM 551D - in great shape with power supply  for $200.00
Can anyone tell me about this unit? Anyone own  one?
Thanks!
