I'm not selling the one I bought - simply letting you know if you really want one you can get one from Nevada Radio UK. I looked for a used one for a while and couldn't find one and missed the posting here. They are VERY hard to find used in the USA.
I ended up buying one from Nevada UK - they had a sale and with shipping it was under $325. Pretty cool radio. More solid on the controls than the USA version.
He replaced the display so you’ll lose some display functions from the stock display like NB, mic gain, RF gain etc which would be the downside but you’ll gain freeband and could use it for 10 meters etc. It will display mode on the new display. Not sure if I’d do it on a 980 but pretty cool...

Guessing others have been in the radio before as some of the settings didn’t seem stock. Going to talk with Kens Electronics tomorrow about parts. Really cool radio, does take a couple of minutes to warm up on freq from power on but has good audio on AM and SSB with stock microphone.
Yeah it's the PB 010 and the coil is L37 - but I saw it referenced on one DX alignment as L26 and elsewhere as L37. I thought maybe the L26 was the last 148 DX model but that the part would be the same. No service manual for the Richard as far as I can tell so was having to guess based on the...
