Ad Number:	1755125
Date Placed:	01/08/26
Name:	Jim
Phone Number:	email only
Callsign:	WB7RBN
Category:	RADIOVHF
Heading:	Icom IC-290H 2 Meter Mobile Transceiver
Ad Message:	TECH SPECIAL. From an estate. The Icom IC-290H is a well-built 2 meter multimode mobile transceiver operating in FM,CW,USB and LSB modes providing 25 watts on high power and 4 watts on low power. The Green LED display is readable over a wide range of light. The radio has 5 memories. It does not have a CTCSS tone board. The frequency range is 143.8-148.199 MHz with selectable simplex and +/– 600 kHz offset. The radio requires 13.8 VDC at 5 amps. It comes with power cord and the HM-8 DTMF hand microphone. It is off frequency on SSB by about 1.5Hz otherwise it puts out full power and all controls work as it should. Probably needs the reference frequency adjusted as well as the USB and LSB frequencies adjusted. It would be a cheap way to get on 2 Meter SSB. Could also be used for amateur satellites. $75 shipped. Sold “As IS” with no returns or refunds. Payment via USPS money or personal check. Will wait till a personal check clears to ship.

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:
