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
