[Yaesu] Any FT-33 Owners?

[Brian P. Mileshosky]

Hi All,

    I am interested in purchasing a Yaesu FT-33 with battery, and charger
for about $100 (perhaps I can bargain to $90).  It is in like new condition.

    I'm wondering what you FT-33 users think of the radio?  Any problems
with it at all?  Is the price a good deal?  I noticed that AES pulled it out
of their catalog, so I'm wondering if Yaesu might stop making them.  At any
rate, I really want to get into 220 without spending too much...Alinco is
the other single band 220 HT I have seen at only glancing at the AES
catalog.  Is the FT-33 a winner or not?

Thanks and 73,
Brian, N5ZGT
