Michael,
First off, this is a question you should ask the seller: Steve, KL7FZ. I only forwarded his e-mail to the amsat-bb as a courtesy.
But if you look at the date of the eham reveiw (2000), things have gotten more expensive over time. MY understanding this radio has not been in production for many years and is exceedingly rare on the used market. But, as always with used equipment, price is negotiable.
But, hey, I am just the messenger...not the seller. If you are interested, contact Steve and haggle with him. He's a regular e-bay trader and a friend.
GL, Ed

Can you explain how this compares to this radio that has an MSRP of $1500?

In case anyone is interested, I am forwarding Steve's posting from MoonNet. Do not contact me; e-mail Steve directly (below):
From: Steve Tolley radio@matnet.com I have an extra ICOM IC-1275 1.2 ghz all-mode rig available for sale. It is a DC model (no internal AC supply, but does have a space for one) and in excellent condition. Power out is approx 15 watts. Better than specs. Only issues: fan makes a buzzing noise and one of the dial lights is out. Nothing to interfere with operation. With mike, power cable, and manual. I do NOT have the original box but shipping will be double boxed and well packaged. Price is $1800 shipped US. International sale will incur additional shipping charges. Don't want to see it leave Alaska but no one up here seems to want it. Steve KL7FZ Wasilla, Alaska Ph: 907-376-6467
