Far-east radios are good, but they pale in comparison to this - Rockwell Collins the one and only, made USA.
Tampering with shipping documents is a federal crime in the USA.
The radio requires 28v dc at 22 amps peak 14 average during voice Sb. Modes are USB, lbs, am, cw and secure digital voice both upper lower side band. If you are not serious about paying for the item after offer has ended, should bid. Cosmetically it also is looking great.
Doing so significantly increases the chances of a successful damage claim with carrier. If you live in another country and are interested this item, contact me first before bid.
