New price is $489 plus $19 for noise blanker = $508.

Asking $400 plus shipping.

This one is in excellent condition.  It has a few scratches but is 
otherwise gorgeous, and works great.  

Power output is variable from 1 to 5 watts.  
IF bandwidth variable from about 300 to 1500 Hz (maybe wider).
RIT control (+/- 1.5 kHz or so).
Great audio.
NO SYNTHESIZER NOISE (PTO tuning).
AGC decay time reduced from stock via replacement of capacitor.
Meter reads forward/reflected power.
Electronic keyer works from 5 to ??? wpm, digitally settable.
  I think the top end is 50 wpm.
550 mA receive, 2 amps xmit (roughly).

Yes, the drift problem is real, although I rarely notice it.  It is 
quite possibly the easiest-to-use radio I have ever used.  It worked 
wonderfully on Field Day in netting 175 or so QSOs, even in crowded-band 
conditions.

Again, asking $400 plus shipping.  UPS is right down the street from my 
house.
