[drakelist] TR7

[Frank Woolfe]

Fella's   Many thanks for all your supportive and informative emails, I guess this deal isn't too bad when you analyze the whole TR7, RV7,Mike Fan & Filters package. Unless any of you guys know a better deal in the US???? I have spoken to the vendor and he will include the freight component from UK to Oz in the price, so it works like this $625GBP =$1518AUD=$1108USD after going through all your mails it's not a bad deal when you have freight included, works out to be around $250 AUD, I have found good TR7's hard to source over here, well there's none over here and from the US, I also understand that the PS75 is a little bit of a light weight, I will be running the radio off my 43amp Cossel switch mode I use that for my old rice burner (IC720A).   Best 73's to you all   Frank: VK5MFW.. This appears to be a nice setup.  Here in the States a  nice basic TR7 sells for US$400.  When you add what comes with this, you're over US$1,000 easy (filters $50/ea, noise blanker $150, mic $75, service manual $40, PS75 $125, extender boards $50, RV7 $125).  If you're serious about a TR7 there isn't much that comes with this rig that you wouldn't eventually want (though I'd trade the PS75 for a PS7; the PS75 is rarer and somewhat of a collectable, where the PS7 is a much better power supply). 73 Lee WB6SSW
