ICOM IC-R71a Communications Receiver HF PBT Shortwave Radio Ham SWL AM SSB CW

Description

ICOM IC-R71a Communications Receiver
This auction is for a properly working ICOM IC-R71a receiver.  This is the version of the R71a that includes the very effective Pass Band Tuning (PBT) feature.  The R71a is a very highly regarded, 5 Star rated HF receiver.  It has a quadruple conversion system and is loaded with excellent features such as dual VFOs, Pass Band Tuning, Attenuator, adjustable IF Notch, adjustable noise blanker, adjustable AGC, Adjustable Tuning Steps, 32 Memory Channels etc.
I attached my Par EF-SWL antenna to the 50 Ohm connector and was able to pick up many stations in AM Mode on MW and Shortwave bands.  I also listened to many Ham Radio operators on SSB (Good Luck In The Contest!).  I confirmed the features listed above operate correctly (although since there is no pulse or impulse type noise in my neighborhood, there was nothing for the Noise blanker to remove!).  I noticed that the Preamp position did nothing.  This was not a problem because there was plenty of signal strength in the Normal position.  I compared the strength of various signals to my IC-7300, and the R71a was the same.
This receiver has a built in AC/DC power supply which operates correctly.  The standard AC power cable is included.
Serial Number: 06465

This is a piece of VINTAGE equipment which is still working fine after many decades!  As this site's Buyers Guide explains, it is impossible to know how long Vintage Equipment will continue to operate fine.  For this reason and because of the unscrupulous 'fake' buyers and parts swappers, I must offer this item AS-IS, with No Warranties, No Refunds, No Returns, No Exchanges
