I am selling my Yaesu FT-840 160-10m HF transceiver. It was serviced by Jim
Smith at Burghardt Radio Service in June of 2023 and was found to need
nothing except a little lubrication on the VFO knob.

The unit has been upgraded with all the available options, including:

   - TCXO-4 Master Reference Oscillator (the original oscillator that was
   pulled will be included in the sale)
   - FM-unit 747
   - YF-112c 500 hz 8-pole CW crystal filter
   - YF-112a 6khz AM filter
   - MH-1 Microphone in excellent condition.
   - External Yaesu FIF-232 CAT system interface and a serial port cable to
   connect to your computer. This interface translates RS-232 from the
   computer to TTL levels required by the CAT interface and runs off 120vac.
   - USB CAT interface cable

Price is $800 firm, slightly under what I paid for everything. It is a very
nice example of this popular model. I am only selling it because I am
upgrading to an all-mode transceiver.

Additional purchase options:

For $250 additional I will throw in an as-new LDG AT-100ProII 125 watt
1.8-54 mhz dual antenna autotuner that I bought just a few months ago and
barely used. It works perfectly with the FT-840 and tunes *extremely* fast
to 1.5 SWR or below on all bands I have used..

For $100 additional I will throw in a Yaesu FC-800 100 watt autotuner
designed specifically for the FT-840. This one will match up to 3:1
impedances down to 1.5:1 or less on antennas with 16.5 to 150 ohm
impedances. *This tuner is intended for end-fed random wire or long whip
antennas.*

For $50 additional I will throw in an MFJ-925 IntelliTuner 200 watt 1.8-30
mhz automatic tuner in perfect working order with a Yaesu interface cable
which *DOES NOT* work with the FT-840 (Honestly, the LDG is a better
autotuner, but this works fine without the cable.)

If you want to get *truly* funky, I will throw in an MFJ Telepatch II phone
patching box wired for Yaesu 8 pin microphones, *for free*. Such a deal!
LOL!

Prices are cash, PayPal or Venmo. I can do Zelle but sometimes banks put
three day holds on Zelle payments to new recipients, and if that is the
case you will have to wait until the payment is posted on my account before
taking delivery. Same with personal checks too, they must clear before
taking delivery.

Everything is in Burlington MA. In exchange for a six-pack of good German
or Polish beer I will deliver within a 10 mile radius. 🤣🤣🤣
