Default Anyone parting out a Kenwood R-5000 or TS-440?

A tempting offer, thanks. My estimate is that if I want to send it insured
it would cost at least $100. USPS does not insure mail to Israel, so I would
have to use FEDEX, DHL ETC.

That would raise the price to $300 plus about $75 in taxes. Getting an
import permit for it is trivial, but may add another $35 in fees (before
taxes) from the courrier service.

The other option would be to have a tourist bring it in their luggage.
At $200 it fits within the tax excemption for gifts.

That would not be a bad deal, but all I want is a knob. :-)

New word I coined 12/13/09, "Sub-Wikipedia" adj, describing knowledge or
understanding, as in he has a sub-wikipedia understanding of the situation.
i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found in the Wikipedia.
