For sale, a Yaesu FT-757GX. I bought this from an older ham (it was his first transceiver) and it was well taken care of. It receives well and provides full 100 watt output on all bands. This is an extremely neat radio as it is general coverage (great for shortwave listening), all mode, has the CW keyer and filter, CAT control, and has been MARS modded. Plus it just looks cool.
The radio has a few quirks that I wanted to iron out, but I have too many projects on the bench to find time to do it. These are things that I would address:
- The encoder works well (no problems there) but is a bit stiff but completely comfortable. Needs to be cleaned and lubed.
- Occasionally the frequency jumps a bit (~600 Hz). This is a documented issue, just needs the four trimmer caps replaced. While working on that the battery could be replaced, and the crystals aligned. This is all well documented on the web.
The package includes the power cord, the Yaesu hand microphone, and a bonus QSYer remote frequency number pad. The radio will be packaged securely (double boxed). $200 plus shipping (will use Pirate Ship for a good rate), Paypal works. Thanks for looking!
