    I want to remove a Complete Kenwood TM-D700 DualBand Radio System, minus Control Head, from my inventory of stuff... I have given @Falcon15 First Right of Refusal, because he got my original TM-D700 System, few years back, and he just might want this as Backup for that Radio... If he does NOT want it, I will send it to any Monkey Ham Operator, for just the costt of shipping... I. will leave this thread here for a week, and then move it to the Buy & Sell Forum, if no takes it... Pictures available upon request... Flat Rate Shipping is about $20US, or so.....

    That's a really nice gesture . I've ben thinking of getting my Ham license , just haven't made the jump . If I had my license , I'd take you up on the offer . I'm sure it won't take long to find a home for it .(y)

    Since the system is EOL, any idea of what the control head runs these days?

    If I had to guess, since these are obsolete, in the neighborhood of a Couple of hundred bucks... The Control head for the TS-B2000 is exactly the same device, but since it is also obsolete, the TS-B2000 version is just as hard to find... You can usually find one. occasionally in a Pawn Shop, or on eBay due to the Crook stealing it from a car, but not realizing that it is just the Control Head, and not the whole Radio Systems...

    @Falcon15 says he doesn’t need the stuff, so it is available to the first Monkey Ham...

    @SB21
    You gotta start somewhere. Maybe if you have the 700 in hand it will incentivize you.

    How is @Falcon15 these days? Used to listen to his internet radio show.

    He is doing fine... as a Single Fellow... Rumors are that he might be leaving Florida, and heading west... How far remains to be seen... He still runs an Internet Radio Music & Talk Show on Sundays...
