Hello everybody, I am the original owner of the above and am thinking of parting with them. They both have the C-cell battery pack to allow for 3 watt operation. The 290 has the 25 watt amp and the 690 has the 10 watt 6 meter amp. They both have their soft cases. I think that I have the original 2 meter rubber duck, but I use a 5/8 telescoping antenna for that band. I have the original telescoping antenna. I have the wall wart battery chargers, but with cheap alkilines, who needs higher priced rechargables? The manuals are around as well as the original boxes. Oh, there is no PL installed in either. There are Yaesu hand mics...one is original, the other is from my old FT 726R. Both have touch tones. I don't get to use them much, and I haven't seen any advertised lately. What's the consensus of their value? Thanks, Tim K0PG
