Re: [IRCA] Icom IC-R71A

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

I do remember seeing them sell on eBay for something a little less - sorry I
can't remember the exact prices. 

Jean Burnell uses an R71 at Newfoundland and he seems to have done very,
very well.

But - to be honest - I prefer my R8B and 7030 and the R71 gets used rarely.

I used Chuck Hutton's 71A at Grayland and it is a very good older set. My 
opinion is that $370 is a bit pricey unless it has some added mods to it.
