that's actually a good price for it, they sell for between $60 and $75 quite
a bit.

thanks to everyone for their quick responses to my questions about the ic
2at.
Well from all that has been said, it sounds like a good radio...except, it
was supposed to be for my X Y L and she wants a smaller computer programible
fit in your pocket HT like the T2A...the reason i was going to go with the
T2A was because a friend here has one and i was quite impressed with its
performance and level of accessibility.
So, though i may find uses for this radio, my wife VA6MAY will most
certainly not find any use for it except perhaps to throw it at me for
getting the numbers and letters mixed up while searching for radios on Ebay
hi hi!
So, i imagine i will have an IC 2AT for sale in the very near future here on
the list.
I think though, that i probably payed too much considering the age i know
know the radio to be...i thought it was an excellent deal if it was the T2A
but for $52, im not sure it was such a great deal...perhaps some horse
trading or something is in the works for this radio.
