Ad Number:	1726793
Date Placed:	04/22/25
Name:	Clifton Nichols
Phone Number:	7028017653
Callsign:	K5DA
Category:	RADIOHF
Heading:	Kenwood TS-480HX forsale!
Ad Message:	Hello, I am selling my Kenwood TS-480hx Transceiver. It has recently been returned from the Authorized Kenwood Service Center, where it was retuned and inspected. It is equipped with the full 200-watt output, separation cables, a factory microphone, a pedestal for mounting the control head, power cables, and a modification that connects the power leads directly to the board, circumventing the known power plug issues of this model. This model has twin power leads that draw 40 amps at full output power. The receiver features numerous digital QRM/QRN filters and offers multiple options for eliminating noise, including the Noise Blanker, which effectively reduces noise without compromising SSB voice quality. This radio was new to me last year when I purchased it! It is a very nice radio. The asking price is $650, plus shipping from Las Vegas. Sincerely,

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
