View Full Version : Amateur Radio
So some of you know about radios then, i may need your help.
I have been asked to sell some stuff on Ebay for my GF's Grandma as her husband has just passed away (Emma's grandad) i have a lot of radio stuff and need to find costs of it.
There are 3 arials with one being a directional beam. 3 Radios with 2 being yaesu and one being a big base station. Loads of cables for it all and the big main power pack, that's a wattson, found price for that, around £100 second hand.
If any one can help me out if i post pics id be very grateful as she is now on her own and im trying to get the best price's for her that i can.
(I will also post this on the main forum)
need to know model numbers of the radios.
Also antennas really.
check ebay completed listings for ebay prices on radios, usually about 10% less than ebay on private radio forum/sales.

When you advertise them emphersize that it belonged to a silent key. Many Hams are willing to put their hands deeper in their pockets. David.
The radios are a Yaesu FT-290R and a Yaesu FT-100D and the big base station is a Trio communications receiver JR-599.
I have no idea what the ariels will be called though.
I have gone through EBay to find some sort of price but up to now failed.
Im guessing the "Silet Key" would indicate someone passed away, nice touch as this will also explain why i know next to little about them.
pictures and specs of the radios below ...

i will start the ball rolling , with a £75 offer for the yaesu ft 100d
£75!??
i said id start the ball rolling , to encourage bids
doubt there will be much bids on here, it's just you and me briggie and I am skint.
i have a figure in mind that i can afford , but i wont reveal that ,except to kamsin , but its a very good offer
If anyone intrested i can get you as much info as i can.
As i said they being sold to get funds for his widow, its my girlfriends grandma so i want to get the best i can for them.
All together there are 3 arials, one with fully working directional beam + control. All the cables needed to set it up and the two radios. I found out the base station is a reciever only.
Also the Wattson W-25am power supply. I got the price on that already from ebay, and they going from £100 to £125.
I can post you some pics of the Arials, they also have the poles and brackets. The smallest one is about 10 meter high, the directional beam was just mounted on the the side of the house, not sure of height on that one.
Come on guys its for a good cause and you have a fully setup working station ready to go.
if theres a mast it will need picking up really.
W-25am is £120 new, about £50-60 2nd hand and tested working.

My openning bid is £90. but its low for what its worth, get it on ebay and get all you can for that lady.David

W-25am is £120 new, about £50-60 2nd hand and tested working.
Only had a quick scan, so you could be right, i was just looking for an idea.
The one i have been watching is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yaesu-FT-100D-/150825708281?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones_Communication_Ham _Radio_Receivers_Transceivers&hash=item231de9aaf9
I know it has the box, but is still sold as untested. i know this one works.
i only want the ft 100 . dont need owt else really , i have enough antennas/power supplies as it is .
that one works linked as sold as working.
as said before best bet is ebay if you want best possible price but you will also have ebay fees (10%) and paypal fees (3.4%). Which is worth remembering.
completed listings of it:

Yes i know, and the possibility of non paying bids.
Its a huge problem he left me with, but knew id try my best for him.
It would be a shame to split it but if needs must.
Any chance of you trying to tell me what the arials are if i post some pics?
you shouldn't get too many problems with non paying bids. Selling on ebay is very easy.
When sending them make sure you used a proper insured service with signing. You can get some good prices for parcels on www.interparcel.com
Post some pics of the antennas. sure we can tell you what they are.
£150 cash for the ft 100d ..... no paypal , no postage ,no fees

Hope he lets you have it at that price. Looks a battery flattener if your static mobile. David.
£190 cash , that is just for the yaesu ft100d
We got a bidding war going on now with two people that claimed to be broke, :lol.
I wont ebay it till i see what you 2 end up at, and to be honest Briggi if you had said £190 to start with it would be in your house now, but Fez came in on the action so i need to see what his hand is now. :naughty
hm , thought you where skint :augie
does the radio come with the original box / manuals /bracket ?
All i have is the radio, it may have the box at his house i not had time to look through the rest of the stuff yet.
I just turned on a KG-UVD1P that his wife wanted me to have and spoke to a guy on there who was very rude, all i wanted to know is if i was picking up CB or something else and explained why i was there, his reply to me "Get a call sign and then we will talk to you" Im guessing it was on the HAM Radio side. No wonder Facebook took hole like it did :lol
PS sorry i not got back to you Briggie, i not been home from work long and im still sorting through stuff.

before i consider further , can you take a look to see if you can get the box etc ?
you need a license to use ham radios, thats why they were rude to you.

He could of just said your on the HAM bands, i would of been happy with that.
I just want to see if i can find CB bands on it so i can use it.
Iv got a Marine radio licence, maybe i should park in a puddle and try again.
I will have a look to see if i can find the box for it but it wont be till the week end im guess as he lived a few miles away from me.
