Thank you Joe, that is most kind of you to post this and as always appreciated, the tubes test perfect in an L4B I have here and arrived well packaged and in tip top shape. Best 73s Martyn K4TEC good news- I hate selling something as a pig in a poke so to speak so I am thrilled they tested good- th...

I love my Wouxun's (3) I was involved with this company and helped design a few of the features now found in this radio- at the time we were going to be the US distributor BUT- they didnt have fcc approval- so I passed-now they do. These radios are the best bang for the buck bar none- my cost for a...

sold two unknown condition 3-500Z tubes to Mr Allison- paid promptly

Joe N2GBT

Ive done a few deals with him also- NEVER a problem- in fact the first radio I bought I drove down to Miami to meet with him and pick it up personally-and ya sort of always get more then you expect with Hector- I bought an Icom 7000 from him recently without the sep kit being listed and ended up WIT...

I bought an inexpensive tube preamp made by ART-- lots of people complain about an ac hum-mine has this also- the thing is- it uses a 9v ac walwart as the power supply so the hum would be coming from the walwart right?

any thoughts on how to eliminate this hum- I hate sending stuff back

Joe N2GBT

Cant help but chime in here since I horsetrade alot- The selling price has NOTHING to do with the condition of the equipment. Why does everything always come down to nickels and dimes vs integrity The antenna doesnt work- buy the guy a new antenna- split the cost- work it out- instead of saying- hey...

Just bought a TS950SDX from John--after a few hours- all I can say is- wow- no issues- perfect radio- perfect condition- was surprised that the radio was filtered up as this wasnt mentioned- also had the voice synth unit and I think the DRU-2 although cant use it without the RM1- radio had orig boxe...

Joe, Is he an EA call? If so, he sent me 2 e-mails today also. He was in a BIG hurry at 9:00am this morning but I haven't heard back from him since. These guys are so easy to read. Paul Zora K3PZ Stuart, FL same scammer- first it was a VE7 call now the EA call- same reply-- same pics of a kenwood t...

Now the scammers ARE taking paypal. This was a reply to my looking for a TS950SDX Using the name Ron Philip and the callsign VE7NS email is: radiocollector@radiologist.net I played along to see how this would unfold-- googled the paypal address and theres others who got scammed. Folks just because t...

Traded my nice Icom 820H for Brian's Icom 706II
Brian sent me his radio first- appreciate the trust-
havnt heard from him so I am assuming he is also happy. Wish more people would post atta boys in the forum ( or ahh shxt as the case may be)
Good trade though-

He worked me- and I worked him- wanted WU or MO and I wanted to use paypal- he siad he had problems with paypal but would open a new paypal account- never happened.
if you google the bus name you'll see were he's been-- amazing

2nd deal with Hector- AD4C in Florida- first time I drove down to meet him for an FT950- just got an Icom 7000 from him- what can I say- great radio- great deal and Hector is a great Ham. Thanks my friend. Joe N2GBT

Here is another suspicious item offered for sale - an Icom IC-756PROIII for $1500? Of course I contacted him to pin him down: 1) He only takes WU - big flag there! 2) His name is Jerry Anderson, not right. 3) His email is KC2WAU@GMAIL.COM - an anonymous email ! 4) I got his Phone # +447035965696 - ...

I know hinnerk i have talked to him on a local repeater here. I dont think he listed all these items. I think he only has a mobile hf setup as he cant have antennas in his condo. Scott i would look at all ads listed by kc2wau i dont think this is him. Hinnerk is definately german i know that. Somet...

theres a ts 2000 for sale- the callsign/owner is definately a german person but when I replied in german(I speak German) its clear they dont speak german- looking for a WU payment ONLY- excuses for not taking paypal- they state they had a problem with paypal- never received payment for a radio they ...

Be careful once again- I replied to three ads and ALL three were looking for WU money orders ONLY- 2 had predesigned forms to fill out for shipping- the callsigns were legitimate although one when googled had a plethora of scam alerts Its getting more difficult to make a purchase. Seasoned vets wont...

to the person who sent me the SB200 panels for reproduction- please send me an email to: sales@palmimports.com
We have two of the panels-- they got misplaced during our move to a larger facility and I dont have your email
Thanks

Tips: Pack the item fully suspended with at least 4" of "hard foam like" material around each and every corner of the item. The objective is to fully "suspend" the item inside the packaging like a carton of eggs so it doesn't have any possible opportunity to move around inside during shipping. (The...

I am completing a swap with Wayne- W0 ISV and wanted to share this- his original post offered some good items in trade for used yaesu FT817ND transceiver. Being sceptical- I asked Wayne to send all items to me first since I had 15 years of impeccable transaction history and he had little to none. To...

I'm careful when advertising for items I want by including "Licensed US hams with PayPal only please" This comes after receiving numerous replies to my adds by sellers wanting Western Union(and a none US or even valid call sign. One guy said he was in the UK so I offered to send my nephew around (w...
