Finally . . . it’s time to sell my FT-847. Why? I’ve moved to an IC-9700 for a few convenience features. Now is the time to pick this up. The VHF contest is coming up this weekend and ARRL Field Day is just around the corner. This is a great radio for both of those events.
The price is $750.
Ok, what will you get in the package?
- FT-847 in excellent condition
- Original hand-held microphone
- Original DC power cable
- Original operators manual

I’ve owned this FT-847 for a long time. It has served as a lightly-used secondary radio for my office and for occasional VHF/UHF weak signal operations. A few years ago, i installed a satellite array and enjoyed many QSOs with this rig.
The rig is working FB. It looks great. I’d like to see it go to a new owner who will get as much enjoyment out of it as I have over the years.
