This radio is in excellent condition and has mostly been used for listening and has less than an hour of transmit time. The transceiver comes in the original factory box with all the accessories included in the box by the factory. The unit has had the MARS modification performed to it which allows you to transmit across the entire frequency range that the receiver covers not just the amateur bands it is normally restricted to from the factory. It has had the optional FL-52A 500 hz CW filter (A $150 option) and the CR-338 high stability crystal oscillator (A $120 option) installed. The radio also comes with an MFJ-939 external antenna tuner with interconnect cable, a professional printed spiral bound manual as well as a three ring binder version of the manual that also contains the manual for the antenna tuner and the service manual for the 718. Besides amateur use this is a great radio for receiving international shortwave broadcast plus military and commercial radio traffic.
The 718 was introduced in 1999 and has been so popular that it is still in production today. This is a popular radio for use by preppers and is great for use out in the field, all you need is a 12 volt battery to hook it up to. Note: You are required to have an amateur radio license to transmit with this radio.
