Beware everybody!
Watch out for this guy, KD5ZLA – Billy Jones.
I bought from him an Icom IC-746 that he claimed it was fully working and in very good condition and I payed him top dollar instantly. I asked him to pack it really well, he assured me he will. But it wasn’t like that, he placed the radio only in an ordinary carton box, covered in 2 (TWO) news paper sheets! and nothing else!!!! And I payed for double box bubble rap and foam packaging. Of course, the radio got here with broken front panel and broken dead display, it was stinking of cicarette smoke and garbage (yes, that’s correct) and was full of grease although he claimed it was from a non smoking family. And he assured me the transceiver was a “really clean one”. But the worst is still to come… The radio was absolutely out of parameters. All the coils cores, trims and pots inside were turned on to maximum so that the radio was useless. I don’t know why he did that. Also the automatic antenna tuner was not working at all. I wrote to him many emails, he NEVER replyed…
Conclusion, he is the biggest liar I’ve ever heard of, totally unreliable, he actually stoll my money as I am stuck with an useless radio, it was just like throwing money out of the window. This guy KD5ZLA is NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!! Beware!!!
