I suggest you GO to a club meeting and meet the members up close and personal. I have no doubt you will get some assistance.

Thank you for serving our country!

Did you return the unit? The way your post reads, it appears you got a full refund from PayPal but you don't say if you returned the radio and it is not clear what the refund covered. Note: the URL for the ad is no longer on the server so the story is somewhat incomplete and confusing. Thanks... de ...

It might be helpful if you revealed the other email address so others could avoid using it.

The ad for the FT-875D has been deleted because the seller did not follow the rules. Non-licensed users may not sell a transmitting device on QTH.com unless it is for a estate relative who is identified by a legitimate call sign within the text of the ad. Further, our site rules do not allow duplica...

This warning does not mean for us to be alerted when seeing all ads selling FT-857D equipment But, because the seller does not have a call sign, it not possible to know just who to be aware of. This is but one problem we face when we attempt to deal with users not having a legitimate callsign. There...

What was it he was supposed to do? What did he do which he was not supposed to do? Some details would be helpful. Thanks...

Tim: Finding a good clean Kenwood TS-520 transceiver and a 20 amp 12 volt regulated power supply to go with it would be a good start. No fancy antennas needed, just some well built dipoles will go the job. As to how to go about getting something done, find a local experienced ham and pick his brain ...

Dave:

Was the radio actually defective? It would be helpful to have some of the details causing the issue.

It might be helpful if you could provide the detailed contact information showing where you sent the payment.

At the present time you do NOT need to have a valid Amateur Radio call sign to use the QTH.com Classified service. If you do have a valid call sign you should always use it as your means of identification. Having said this, you may not use the site without some valid identification information, usu...

Pleasant and successful transaction. Careful packing and prompt shipment. Arrived as advertised. Thanks, Brandon...

It is beginning to look like you advertised a "mint" radio then sold it to someone who did not like it because the radio you sent to him wasn't a "mint" radio.

Can you clear this up? Why are you posting any of this here?

K4ICL

Specifically, what were his complaints about your mint transceiver?

Thank you N9LCD for adding the detailed process used by FedEx. It will be very helpful to any who need to do a claim in the future. Other carriers have a very similar process with some minor exceptions. On one occasion I recall that UPS wanted photographs of the damage, including damage to the box a...

By far, packing electronic equipment for shipping is one of the least understood yet most prominent cause of damaged shipments and needless negative reports. There are several resources providing sound advise and instructions on how to pack, what not to do, what to be sure and do, and how to respond...

What is his Amateur Radio call sign?

You said: He states the icom ONLY needs a final transistor (read below). But he really said: For parts or repair,needs a final output,transistor (2SC3101) I can not find where he used the word "ONLY". Please advise. It appears he made it clear his trade was a parts radio, needing repair. Isn't that ...

This posting is way too brief and could be very misleading. Please describe the issue in more detail.

Thanks...

And what happen to comradery between hams? It is still very much there. But, as in the past, it is not 100%; never has been. Of course, we your readers, won't get any help avoiding this particular person if you don't let us know who he is. [This is the purpose of Feedback.] It wold be better if you...

K9XR: You have made some very good points. The litigation process is often useless in this age of an antiquated legal structures. I am not sure going to the USPS for assistance with a Postal money order is of much value either. My first inclination would be to seek satisfaction from PayPal or my cre...

I also feel the seller holds some responsibility, it is always too easy to blame the carrier. It the the seller's TOTAL responsibility to properly pack and ship using the carrier of your choice. This is what YOU pay for and is not negotiable. If the seller does not make sure the unit was packed pro...
