Good evening from rural Virginia.
I am an older ham recovering from 2 strokes. This is my 3rd Yaesu. First 2 were 817NDs.
I will not be able to take this unit to parks and hike anymore. So I thought I would try using it
at home as a base station. Well, that did not go anywhere. It is tested, never used on or transmitted on.
I will sell the radio, filter and all accessories below at below, less than what I paid for them. Including the filter which now goes for many more dollars than I paid. I, as a ham amd not interested in making money, I would love to see this unit USED and not just sitting. The prices of filters are beyond reason.
First, what it cost me (minus the taxes) I have original receipts for all. Most bought from HRO 10/8/2020
1. FT818 $609.95
2. YF-122CN 300 Hz Bandwidth Collins 455 kHz IF CW Narrow Filter for FT-817/818 FT-857 etc.. $169.95 (it is installed)
3. Z-817 LDG autotuner $104.95
4. 817 / 818 -ESG Portable Zero escort stand OD green, aluminum $74
5. CatDisplay from Christopher Day using Cat cable. $148 (did not come with cable).
Includes Windcamp 817S Battery that goes in unit. Includes Charger (I just charged it yesterday and tested it) works fine
Original batteries and original cover in box with all other items including antennas, battery (probably ok but easy to replace) manual, nifty guide.
Total cost to me (+) = $1106.85 2 years ago.
Cost to you (maybe less if you are a new ham. proof necessary). Will sell only as a bundle. Will not break it apart.
$675 + 15$ shipping. Total $690
As is: will not accept returns.
Zelle, or Postal Money order.
Double Boxed and insured

I will send other pictures if requested. All is pristine.
PS.. I build most of my own equipment and repair radios for others too. For many years now
Recovering some funds for heath reasons.
