Yaesu FT-840 w/FM board and power lead (Fused). It has an out-of-band mod done by the prior owner, I've just never undid it.
Price: $500 + Shipping
Never been in a smoking environment (Previous owner didn't smoke either). Not mint, it has some scuffing on the side panel. Otherwise, 100% functional, as I am pulling it from service.

Would you be interested in a swap for a HP G62-355DX Laptop? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...roduct=4308434 It's no gaming machine, but it works well. It is about a year old.
Never mind. I just found out how crappy this thing is if Youtube reviews are accurate.

The 840 or the laptop lolOriginally Posted by KA9MOT
I know the radio well. When I was a new ham in 2003, my Elmer suggested I get an HF rig to listen too while I was studying for my upgrade and to help me learn code. I thought it was an awesome idea and I bought a FT-840 on QRZ for $350 and it had the FM Board which was a good price because at that time AES had them for just under $500 new and the FM board was extra. I threw the mic in a drawer (Technicians had no privileges on HF at the time), strung up a wire and had a blast for months just listening (and sending stupid "I hear you" emails to those I heard). After several months making no progress with CW I became discouraged and traded the rig for a Yaesu FT-7100 with low receive (One of my stoopid moments).
So, it was my first HF rig and one of my favorite rigs.
So you see, I had no problem trading a laptop that is selling for nearly $500. But some computer store owner on YouTube says it is junk. I knew it was no gaming laptop, and some other PC reviews I read online made that very clear, but they also say that it is a good laptop for the price.
I just don't want to pass something along that might come back to haunt me.

Good man. That kind of sportsmanship keeps people off Badham.com.

No longer for sale. Thanks for looking!
