KC5GFL BEWARE ALERT!!!

Post by w7uj »

I sold Fred Middleton KC5GFL my Kenwood TS-570s. He stated that his was struck by lightening and he was looking for another one. I had some trepidation as I was concerned about part swapping. Two weeks after he recieved the radio, he calls and tells me that mine does not work. He sends me a video of supposely my radio in a pitch black room with a non-functioning display. I have him return the radio back to me, only to find it works perfectly. I am guessing that he found a better deal or wanted a different radio. So now I am out $30.00 for shipping, $50.00 for Paypal fees, and a lot of time and effort. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
