Yaesu FT-1000 Ham Radio Transceiver w/ Original Box (fantastic condition)

Description

This transceiver is in very good condition. Cosmetically, I'd probably rate it as an 8.5-out-of-10. It operates perfectly, transmitting and receiving as it should and all functions are working. No optional accessories (filters, etc) are installed. The sale includes the original microphone (not quite as nice as the radio itself), original user manual, and a thick AC cord. All of this comes to you in it's original packaging (inner and outer shipping box with Styrofoam inserts). This will be double-boxed to ensure a safe delivery.
We're including this disclaimer in most of our ham radio listings, as we've noticed a disturbing trend over the past few years. Please, read the manual (most are available to download for free online) and do your research
before
making a purchase. Ensure the equipment will meet your needs. Ensure you know how to operate it. Ensure it will work with your existing equipment. We get too many returns requests stating "it doesn't work"... only to find the buyer had no idea how to use the equipment correctly and never read the manual. We're happy to answer a questions if you're stuck, but we ask that you do your due diligence. This is especially true if you are a new ham operator or haven't operated this type of equipment in the past.
