Hay Bob, I did not delete or "pull back" any posts and you said. My computer network was down to to ISP, and equipment changes. Yes, I said Sick, Sick, Sick. How 5 people that appear to be uninformed in the buying and selling of equipment can keep raising heck with a person that has thousands of sat...

I'm glad to hear that Jerry Wells KD0PD of Pueblo, CO was scammed 5 times. Jerry scammed me out of $400 last year on an amplifier deal. Maybe he learned to do it to others from good ol' Martyn. Jerry, if you read this, how about being honest and returning my money. I did post his actions on this fo...

Well said Martyn..... Let the few whiners and crybabies do their shopping at AES or the local garage sales and leave the real hams alone... BTW I sold a Collins item thru Ebay to one of the whiners here also and it was fine until he found who I was and then started complaining that it was broken, pa...

In all due respect, if those 27 questions have to be asked, don't buy used, buy new instead. Over the last 20 years or so that I was dealing in vintage gear, I cannot remember one single piece that would pass that 27 questions. To have to deal like that simply is not worth the time and effort.. As f...

I just bought some more gear from Martyn and as usual, all outstanding pieces......

He is the no 1 used gear seller in my book.........

Ah, I am glad to see a positive about my friend Martyn at last. I just can't believe how a few uninformed whiners can try and trash an outstanding seller like Martyn. I have done business with him several times and will continue.. For a while he was buying all the professionaly restored and painted ...

Nope, the grunge look was there when it shipped.. I have seen some carriers do some strange things to packages but never open one up and grunge it. I did however get a new MFJ tuner that was mashed totally flat with a big tire mark on the box. Carrier said that a trailer probably started rolling and...

Joe, I have no way of knowing the condition it was in when it was shipped but I recently bought 2 brand new Astron RS70M supplies from two different dealers and when I received them, both had been treated so badly that they werk JUNK.. They were returned. They were in the orig sealed factory carton ...

From my experience, it is not unusual for it to take 5 to 6 weeks transit time with Canada Post.

I have been told that almost everything is hauled by "contract haulers" on a "space avail" basis.

I once waited 11 weeks for a rig to get to me. Hope it comes ok for you.

Hi Scott and Al. Yep, Al is super. Al and I got off on the wrong foot a few months back, he was wrong and so was I but we are both man enought to admit it. It turns out that we both have restoration experience on Collins and Drake. Having been in the restoration business, I can tell a good job and A...

I just did a trade deal with Al. Great guy to deal with. I reccomend him highly....

KK, I do stand corrected, I thought the FCC data base listed your birthdate as 1956, I see it is really 1951. Must be my old eyes. Nope, never heard of Bash or his books. I am very proud to say that I took every since license :? exam except for Novice before the FCC in KC, MO under the eyes of CB Pl...

Hay KK,, Who the heck is Dick Bash?????? I have been licensed since before you were born and I never heard of him.......

I got rid of my new TT after 2 days and went to a Yaesu FT1000MPMKV Field. It beats the socks off of a TT little "J"

Well, I have to eat crow. My 2nd day air shipped part has never showed up and I was told that they have not ever had that part in stock and it is not even avail from Japan. ??????

Strange, it was in the guys hand and now it is not...... Strange indeed.

Scott, where I go, one of my laptops goes, even to the hospital. Everything is mirrored on all PC's in real time. As to what I got from FF, it was listed in various feedbacks and I caught nothing but greif over it. He is sure well loved. What amazes me is how a fraud complaint could have been filed ...

Scott, I don't think a fraud complaint should be filed until 14 days have passed. It is the sellers responsibility to communicate the status of the sale and shipment no matter what medium he has to use. Phone, mail, email, overnight mail, smoke signals or whatever and it should be done at once. Ther...

Sorry guys but I cannot hold up for FF in any way after some of the stunts he tried to pull on me. If I sell something, I send the tracking number as soon as I get it and do it reg. mail so I know if it was read. Computer crash ????? How many guys have only one PC ???? I doubt very many. I have 2 la...

My experience has just been great with Yaesu parts. Today in fact, I odered a power transformer for a Yaesu rotor control box and it was only 32.00 and they are sending it 2nd day air at no charge......

Well, since Cliff is closing Avvid down, I can't help but wonder who he will claim has "gone thru" his sale radios now.........

Who knows,?????

Martin said that Cliff stands behind his work which is fine. However when I called Cliff on the phone he told me that he NEVER worked on the 930 that Martin pawned off on me as being "gone thru by Avid" As I said before, He nailed me but never again nor will he nail anyone that I know. Never again.....

The TS 930 that I got from him worked 30 min and the display went crazy. He said that rig had just been gone thru by Cliff at Avid. I called Cliff to ask about it and he knew nothing about the rig. He said that the digital board was not worth repairing and that I needed a new board. I sat it back in...

Would love to trade u my new computer for the ft1000 or your TS 940 station. 1.P4HT 2.8 gz 2.40gz hard drive 3.120gz hard drive 4.52 speed cd rom 5.52x32x52 RW cd rom 6.P4800 mother broad 7.256mg gforce 5600 vidio card for high Graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8.1000mg of ram 9.1000on broad interlink card ...

Sure wish I had a 96% positive feedback on Epay back when I was on years ago. What do you think the feedback rateing would be for AES, R&L, Ham Station, HRO etc? It sure would not be 100 % because I would have personally given every one of them a big fat neg for business practice. Every day as I see...

I bought a "near mint" Kenwood TS 930 and drove to meet him and when I got it home it worked 30 min so it was not DOA. The rig had so many problems that I had to sell it as a parts rig for 200.00 so I lost 400.00 on that deal. It was supposed to have been gone over by Avid just days before I got it....
