rci 2990

[680MAINE]

I am getting back into the hobby and wanted a dedicated base radio. I found a rci2990 for $250, is this a fair price and also any things I should be aware of with this radio.

Those are pretty nice radios,from what I have heard about them they are solid radios that perform very well.

I would think that is a fair price if the radio is in very good shape and has a proper tune and alignment done.......

I used to have the 2950 when they first came out.After a proper tune up and aligning it was a great performer.....the 2990 is basically the same radio as the 2950 in a bigger box

I agree, the key is that everything works and that it has not been hacked up inside. Also pop the cover and check the power supply, you don't want to see a hillbilly pyramid replacement dropped in.

that price is very good. like others already said as long as it functions properly.
if ya get it locally id ask to see it tx/rx

Also NUMBER 1 thing to remember is if playing with the power settings DO NOT EXCEED 125 Watts PEP or you WILL cook the internal power supply

I gave $150.00 for the one i used to have. It had an UPGRADED power supply in it.
