I have a near mint Cubic 102BXA HF transceiver and matching
speaker/power supply that I would trade for a like condition R-5000
Kenwood shortwave receiver. The Cubic works perfectly, and is in
excellent cosmetic and electrical condition. You may read about this
fine rig he

This transceiver was built to military standards, as Cubic provided the
U.S. Military with a lot of equipment during this period. The build
quality is excellent, and reliability is very good. A unique basspand
tuning system makes this rig a great performer on both SSB and CW. Take
a look at the actual radio he

This unit comes boxed in two cartons, one for the transceiver and the
other for the power supply/speaker, with heavy protective foam,
original instruction manual, and power cord. Microphone is not
included, but will work with practically any standard type high
impedence mike. Guaranteed not to be DOA...this transceiver is fully
operational and very nice. Take a look at the photo....additional info
upon request...just email me. The cash selling price is $375 plus
shipping, but I would prefer to trade for a Kenwood R-5000. Check out
this auction that recently ended on Ebay....it was for a 102BX (mine is
the newer BXA version) with a bad digital display and a non working
power supply. It went for $270 plus shipping.... The unit I have is
fully functional and near mint...well worth my asking price....
