On 2/15 I sent Tony a message here about buying the Yaesu FT DX 3000 he had listed. He emailed me back within minutes. I sent him an email with my phone number and he called me and we talked about me coming to see the radio. He took time out of his work day to meet me at his house. I saw the radio and it was absolutely mint. I purchased the radio and would say if he has something you need for sale, buy it. He is very easy to deal with and any radio he has is in like new condition. An all around good guy.
