Signal/One MILSPEC 1030 HF transceiver for sale
All,
Our Signal/One MILSPEC 1030 transceiver is now for sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=230123960885 . This is the 150 Watt version. I recently made several QSOs with it, on all the bands that were open at the time, so we believe it to be completely functional and know of no performance problems. It has only minor scratches on the sides and top, and comes with the manual, AC power cord, and 12 VDC power cord. Sales notices are supposed to be upbeat, but it's difficult being upbeat when you are selling such a wonderful rig! 73, Ed Callaway, N4II Motorola ARC, W4MOT |

Your ad says "No reserve" but it STARTS at $2000........uh-huh....That's called a "Reserve" Bunkie. You say it works perfectly, but NO GUARANTEE once it leaves your hands.....yeah right.... "Such a wonderful rig"...oh please....give us SOME credit......were not THAT stupid. Typical HAM radio operator....Wants to STEAL it when HE buys it..then wants "Top Dollar" for it when he sells it..... |

Have you checked the current price of an OLD, obsolete 1956 Mercedes Gull Wing these days? Just because it is old, doesn't mean it isn't worth a great deal of money. Like a new ham radio, you can buy a brand new 2007 Mercedes today for a lot less than the 1956 would bring. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

They are a short run trouble prone pain in the ass. Support was poor when they were in business...non-existent now. Would you rather have a Heathkit SB-104 instead? |

The reviews you referenced don't support your view at all. In the first one, the guy was trying to get an Icom 781 converted to a Signal One. He got hosed. The radio up for auction has nothing to do with that conversion other than it has the name. In the second one, the guy loves them. In my opinion, it is a classic radio in the truest sense of the word. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

In my opinion, it is a classic radio in the truest sense of the word. I don't even get how you can turn an Icom into a Signal One. But obviously for collecting purposes, the Signal One is a standout. I can't imagine that many being made, so that makes it collectible. It was a great leap forward when it came out almost forty years ago. Most rigs were still tube based, and the Signal One comes along all solid state except for the PA, and featuring things that would take some years for the competition to put into equipment. It was also an American company, when the balance was shifting away from those and to Japanese radio manufacturers. It's always interesting to do some math when looking at old things. The Signal One came out in 1969, which is 38 years ago. Go back 38 years before 1969, and that would be 1931. Very few people were using rigs from 1931 in 1969 (though oddly some of the early Signal One ads did have a comparison along those lines, and at least one ad used 1920 style typeface in the headlines), and some might consider the 1931 rigs collector's items in 1969 (though, there seemed far less interest in collecting old radios then than now).

Oh, the non-believers.... Well, anyone that knows anything about the Milspec 1030 knows that the cx7 just isn't the same rig, and neither is the 1030ci. The 1030 was a true mil-spec, hardened and wonderful radio. It operated without fail over considerable range of conditions, and the remaining examples probably do so even today. Built like a battleship inside, with individual milled aluminum compartments for each subsection, it didn't suffer from many of the maladies of later integrated rigs. For the uninitiated, the 1030ci was an attempt to cash in on the superior function and longevity of the original 1030 by taking a commercial 781 and "hardening" it. I am not aware of many individuals that actually loved the result like those that owned the original 1030. I owned one of the original 1030 radios with the high power option and multi-color led display and loved it, though succumed to it's popularity on the collector market and sold it around 5 years ago to a fellow on the east coast. To this day, I wish I hadn't, though it is hard to fault the icom 746pro and 756ProII I now have that were paid for by the proceeds from the sale of the 1030... If I thought I had a chance of winning the current auction with what's in my radio fund, I'd be in the bidding right now, just to have another one! If you're trying to make waves because of a few bad seeming comments about radios that aren't even the model for sale, then just pleae go away. If you actually truly have experience with the original 1030, then come on, and provide just what you think was wrong with the one you had.... Thanks --Rick AH7H |
