I appreciate your input. I have also put money into stuff I have bought used. Just like you mentioned it's a risk you take.why should you give him any money ? everything has risks and problems, when i buy a radio and it RX and TX right but a nob is scratchy i go hey its old not hey i want my money back as for the freq counter noise all these radios have this problem i have a superstar 360FM i got, the guy said it worked but it needed work to be a 100% im going to put maybe a $75 into it to make sure its stock and very stable but thats a risk man i know you guys don't need my 2 cents but i think you buy a old used radio you should know it will need work done new caps a tune up.... maybe a nob hell mine needs a new power nob its already going to cost me $25 for that but im not asking some one to pay for it.
Also, the only other other thing I would like to say is, I don't think it is right that he posted things about me like he did. Reason being I was in the hospital and unable to reply or send the money. Makes me second guess even sending him the money now.
