SJDXA members,

I have been the QSL manager for Rachid Karoo 3B8FP for many years. Last year Rachid’s radio died. It was a TS120 believe it or not. He tried to repair it with parts that he bought on eBay with no luck. He was unable to find anything locally. He asked me a couple months ago if I had a spare used radio. I really didn’t have anything appropriate to ship. So, I asked DX Engineering if they could give me a price on an ic7300. I just asked for a fair price. They reached back to me with a price for the ic7300 but also recommended a Yaesu FT-710 Field. It was cheaper and it has a better receiver (per Sherwood). The price quoted for the FT710 is approximately $1150 includes shipping to Mauritius as well as a shielded USB cable. 

If any of you might like to help me cover this cost, I’m passing the hat around.  You can send as a friend/family to my PayPal

I am NOT publicizing this. I am keeping it among my friends and my local club members. 

Thanks in advance.
