I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have an Icom 551-D 6 meter rig they want to sell?
I'll start looking. Someone had one at the Sea-Pac convention. I almost bought it just for the hell of it but didn't because it didn't pass the redundancy test as I have a 746Pro which I'm going to use for 6.
I thought I saw one on Craigslist around here, I'll take a look.
I expected Fred to jump in and say he has 3 of them, and he would be willing to sell me one.:mrgreen:
I'm not theFredPat you're looking for, George. :snicker:.
Why a -551D? I'm not sure how much those are fetching on the used market but there are a number of alternatives.
Can you use a transverter with your HF rig? Another possibility: Find an FT-726R w/ 6M module. Yes, I DO have four of those (2x HF/2/432 and 6/2/440). Get one cheap enough and it makes a decent VHF setup.
Here we go, Even in this innocent little thread, the talk has turned to trans somethingoranother.
Got it. I'll keep my eyes open.
Another alternative: Yaesu Ft-650. 100w out on 12,10 and 6.
