Coming May 1, 2026: RATS will be auctioning off its Field Day radio kits
Over the past twenty years, RATS has used two Icom IC-746Pro radios as our primary tools on Field Day each June. These radios may be older, but they are fully functional contest-grade analog radios with relatively few hours on them. The club will be selling these radios to make room for smaller, more modern rigs. This provides our members and friends in the Richmond, Virginia Area an opportunity to purchase these radios - and a full suite of accessories - at a decent price.ย
Each package includes the following, all in working order:
Icom IC-746Pro radio
matching Icom PS-125 power supply
RIGblaster Pro audio and rig control interface
Heil ProSet headset
footswitch (PTT)
various accessory cables and adaptors
wheeled Pelican case with custom foam and accessories divider
To be fair to all interested parties, these radio kits will be sold via online auction here on the RATS.net website. The sales will have starting bid prices of just $500 with no reserve, and will take place as follows:
First kit: May 1 through 7, 2026
Second kit: May 8 through 14, 2026
Please note that these are LOCAL auctions only. The winners of each auction can pick up their new equipment at the RATS storage facility in Midlothian, Virginia, or we can deliver the kit to them within 25 miles of Midlothian. All sales are final.
If you have any questions about this auction, please do not hesitate to reach out to us via email at "board@rats.net".
