[Yaesu] Yaesu FT-2000 for sale (possible partial swap)

[Phil KO6BB]

Hi All,
A need to "downsize" (read 'need money') my equipment somewhat.  As I
rarely get on HF anymore, the FT-2000 is my best option.

This one is a 6L Serial Number series and I purchased it new in Aug,
2007 (the 6L series has that second internal cooling fan that was
dropped in later versions).  It has never given me a problem and has had 
very light use (probably averaging less than an hour a week the past 
couple years or so).

I'm a Non-Smoker and I'd rate it's appearance at least a 9.8 (if I rated 
it a '10' and you found a single small nick, which I can't find any, 
you'd sue me).

It's had several firmware updates, but is a couple behind as my latest
computers have no serial ports, and I haven't bought an adapter.

Here's what's included with the rig.

1.  Factory boxes (plus an additional heavy duty outer shipping box), 
Factory manual, unused hand microphone, connector package etc.

2.  A like new Yaesu MD100AX desk microphone (kept covered when not in use).

3.  A small switchbox I built to facilitate Firmware updates, also has a 
pushbutton "Tune" switch that plugs into the rear panel "TX Req" jack to 
produce a "tuning carrier".  Very handy as I use an MFJ 993B auto tuner 
to match the 88' ladderline fed dipole.  So, the internal tuner has seen 
almost no use.

4.  A straight through serial cable (9 pin to 9 pin) to connect to your
computer for CAT control or firmware updates.

NOTE:  I may take a like new Icom IC-718, Yaesu FT-450 OR SIMILAR 
transceiver as partial trade, the reason I'm not selling my MFJ Auto-tuner.

NOTE:  WILL ONLY ship to the lower 48.  Asking $1700.00 dollars PLUS
whatever insured UPS shipping of a large box weighing ~50 pounds to your 
QTH would cost.  (WILL be well packed).  The used value of an Icom
IC-718, or similar, if swapped will naturally be deducted.  For your
calculations, my zip code is 95348.

POSTAL MONEY ORDER OR CERTIFIED CASHIER'S CHECK ONLY. . .
