I responded to the below referenced ad and made a deal on the phone. Seller seemed honest but after I paypaled the funds he cut off communication and has not yet shipped the merchandise. I have filed a claim with paypal and am awaiting a refund. 73 Barry N5HW

Ad Message:
Ok, I decided to sell one of my Icom 746, which is this one, and also my Icom 746 PRO that I already offered up for sale. I have two 746 non-pro models, and if you look at my shack, I don't need three radios. So, I am selling this one. I will include the box, manual, power cord, it has the TCXO (CR-282), and 2.8Khz SSB filter installed (FL-103). I do not have the hand mic, but I will give you the SM-20 desk mic to go with it. No trades, I am trying to get rid of things not accumulate more. PayPal only please. You can call me at 805-539-3937 but please no calls in the middle of the night. Pick up near Lompoc, CA or I can ship for $500.00.

Just a follow up note. I see K6KHU is still scamming good hams. I was lucky and used paypal so I got all my $500 back minus the aggravation! I should have been tipped off when I saw he was only a technician class. I will know better next time.
