The screen on the radio has gone a bit dark but can still be read, otherwise everything is in good condition. The radio is an ICOM IC-706 MkllG, the modem a Pactor SCS PTC-2E and the tuner is an ICOM AH-4 automatic tuner.
I'm asking $150 for the radio, $450 for the modem with cables and $200 for the tuner. Cheers, Gunnar

Changed my mind re this radio and have bought a new LCD from ICOM for 50 bucks and will now have a radio as new again. Might come in handy one day if I'm out of phone and vhf range! Apologies to anyone who was interested.

Its a new LCD, the last one they had in stock (in Melbourne, Australia), and they won't be getting any more in as they don't support this radio any more being too old.
