Who on earth would pay that price for a limited frequency ham band only
receiver ?
AND the seller carefully hides the fact that it is a limited freq receiver
and NOT full frequency

Anyone who is seriously interested in this receiver will *know* it is
ham band converage only. I don't think he is hiding anything. I don't
see any bidding going on so far or was that a tounge-in-cheek comment.

Note the seller is "dadslawyer." He probably paid the local ham a hundred
bucks for it. He might get 20% of the opening bid for it; all he needs is
one fool with more money than sense. My back aches just thinking about
hefting that thing.

The seller is the "local ham", Ronald Isaacs - K9IHJ, Baton Rouge LA.
This is a high quality ham band receiver but the price is a bit too high
for my taste, but to a Hallicrafters collector maybe not.
