• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

I am just starting out in ham radio and want a used HF SSB radio to play around with. Since it will be on my boat (and I like things that have to do with boats) it would be great if it was the Icom M802 marine radio with DSC.

I have heard Marine HF SSB is declining in popularity these days. If you have an Icom M802 Marine HF SSB radio with DSC and you never turn it on, why not get some room on your helm for something else and sell it to me?

Or perhaps you are really excited about Marine HF SSB and you want to ditch the M802 (now discontinued) for the new M803. Can you sell the old one to me?

I do not need an antenna.

Sincerely and hopefully yours, KB0ATY
 
Thanks for your attention -- I have not obtained a used M802.
 
@#$& This is a typo I meant to write I have NOW obtained one. Sorry!

Good on you! Did you buy the one from the guy on CF said he might have for sale if he bought his new boat? I also just purchased one used. I like the idea of HF to "round out" our communication suite!:thumb:
 
Nope, a kind person contacted me directly by reading my message on another forum.

Thanks for the comment -- I like messing with radios so it is all in good fun. My boat is not in the water yet so I hung a long wire in the tree next to my house. I managed to hear myself in Panama on the used m802 from Detroit!

Now if only I had a good reason to spend this money to do that! :eek: But I guess that could be my motto for a lot of boat-related purchases...
 
I purchased the one that was advertised on Cruiser Forum. The one that the guy is not positive works . . . . Here's hopin'! Haven't received it yet, and won't be able to install/try it out until probably June though, when we get to the boat . . .:banghead:
