Hi Everyone:

I have for sale an FT-736 all mode transceiver with the 6-meter module
installed.  It is from the late Jerry Schmitt KK5YY's silent key estate
sale.

The transceiver comes with the FTS-8 tone board (installed), an FMP-1
message processor and a TV-736 ATV modulator/demodulator.  Also includes
mike, operating manual and technical supplement.  No box.  I have not tested
the FMP-1 or TV-736, but knowing Jerry I have no reason to doubt them.

A few quirks with the radio do need to be mentioned.  First, the display if
pretty dim for some reason, compared to other 736s I have seen.  Second, the
internal power supply must have some dirty relays because it takes about 5
cycles of the power button for the rig to turn on.  NOTE, when fed directly
with DC power, the transceiver fires up perfectly, 100% of the time.

Other than these quirks, the rig works fine, as it has been tested.

Asking $525 for all, as is, plus shipping from Albuquerque, NM.  If you are
interested, please contact me off-list.

Thanks and 73,
Brian, N5ZGT
