by ICOM IC-R8500 Communications Receiver, purchased BRAND NEW May 31, 2000 (I
have a receipt) Original box, AC Power Supply, 12VDC Power Cord, and
Manual. All in "exactly like new" condition!
Paid: $1458.00 (with tax), selling for: $1200.00
Also have optional Icom RS-8500 PC Control Software, with RS232 interface
cable, and Icom SP-21 Speaker, that I can give you a good price on, if
interested.
Thanks,
Bill Crocker
