Pondee new used radio

This event took place Nov 15, 2017

I am much blessed.

 

To the left is a ICOM IC-706 Mk II G “do everything” radio – I have wanted one of these since becoming a Ham in 2004. It was purchased from W2IRI. In the center is an ICOM AT-180 Automatic Tuner that will attempt to match the antenna load to the radio from 160 meters up to and including the 6 meter band. To the right is an Alinco DM-330MV 32 Amp power supply. Included were all necessary cables and wiring – also an external speaker with noise cancelling circuit installed.

Upon testing I found that everything worked, just as Bob said it would – although he had never used its VHF/UHF capability, remaining on HF with this radio throughout his ownership.  I plan to eventually install the IC-706 in our F-250.
