www.universal-radio.com has a nice Ten-Tec radio for $328.95.And you
would have some money left over which you could send to me.

When I clicked on your post I was going to suggest the "800" Grundig.
You had one, and got rid of it. Now, all I can think of is to buy it
back. Darren

Yes go to HRO or your local Icom dealer

They usually have deals on Saturdays. You have to write them and ask. I
paidd $425 for mine after rebate and deal. I think they can be had for $410
now after rebates and deal. If also comes with free DSP. Try finding that on
a brand new top notch reciever for $400....

I picked up my Icom R75 at HRO for just over what you are looking to pay, I
think $425, and I've been very pleased with it. They run sales and offer
discounts every so often on it, you'll have to check with them. Aside from
that, you may want to look around on ebay for used Drake models; this is the
only one I see there presently:

The ICOM IC-703 Amateur Radio Transceiver.

The receiver is much better that shortwave radios in this price range and it
uses about 400ma in receive mode.

Ham Radio Outlet has them on sale for $379.

Good Luck,
