couple of problems here, first the image of the TS-600 is was taken from the radio mart web site. 2nd problem is that you are not in the state of call sign you clam to be.,


NO DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was offered a Yaesu FT-530 by a fake K9DZD, Monte Keller, who wanted me to send a money order to the SAME person in Las Vegas with the exact same wording.
