Yaesu FT-ONE
 

OK, I know this unit is total out of date and apparently had
some glitches, but it came along with an entire lot I
obtained which contained some other really good stuff, so in
a sense I have almost nothing invested in this solid state
boat anchor, but how bad can it really be, afterall it was
apparently Yaesu's top of the line transceiver a couple of
decades ago.

Might I not have some fun with it for awhile until I decide
what better thing to get? I am a new returning ham after more
decades than this outmoded transceiver. Apparently it was
both ahead of its time and outmoded as soon as it came out in
the early 80s. There was not very much info online but
apparently many European hams used it for awhile. I am just
getting started and am not sure what to really invest in.
This Yaesu is in working condition and the old guy getting
rid of it (and a whole garage full of other stuff), thought
it was pretty great when he last used it. Anyone have
anything good to say? Actually I haven't even hooked it up
yet.
