I recently bought this beautiful and rare RA1795 as I had always wanted one to go with my RA1792 HF receiver. It works brilliantly, but to be honest I really cannot justify keeping it as I have way too many projects on the go that are demanding my time and cash.

This receiver covers 20MHz – 1GHz continuously and it has the optional UHF preselector assembly fitted which improves its performance considerably. Modes are AM, FM, USB, LSB, CW and pulse modulation. Bandwidths are 3kHz, 10kHz, 20kHz, 50kHz, 100kHz and 300kHz so it copes with everything from narrow band FM to wide FM broadcasts and even weather satellites – must be why the likes of government departments buy the receiver!

It is in superb cosmetic condition and all the functions are operating correctly. Comes complete with a mains lead and a copy of the operating manual.

You very rarely see an RA1795 come up for sale, so don’t let this one get away!

Now the small print – my terms and conditions………..

As always, I am happy to ship worldwide and will provide quotes for international carriage on request. Postage within the UK will cost GBP £15.

All items leave me having been checked to confirm that they match the auction description and everything is always extremely well packed. Occasionally the postal service messes-up and a parcel gets damaged. In these cases, I will process an insurance claim promptly on your behalf and you will receive a refund when I receive the insurance payment – that is the whole point of insurance. I keep a record of the serial numbers on all electrical equipment I sell and discretely security-mark items where necessary to protect myself against the fraudsters who try to send back their own faulty gear having bought mine as a replacement!

For UK bidders, payment methods are PayPal, cheque, postal order or direct bank transfer (cheques take one whole week to clear thanks to my bank operating in the Dark Ages). PayPal is the preferred payment option for bidders outside the UK. Bidders are always welcome to collect from me personally, in which case, cash on collection works fine, but I may ask for a deposit to be paid at the end of auction.

At the end of auction, I will send the winning bidder an Ebay invoice within 24 hours. Contact will then be expected within 2 days and payment must be received within 7 days from the end of auction unless prior arrangements have been made. Of course if you already know the carriage cost, immediate payment via PayPal is fine.

If I haven’t heard from you or received payment within the specified times above, the item will be re-listed and Ebay’s non-paying bidder process followed. You will also be blocked from bidding on any further auctions of mine. Not paying because you were suddenly called away on business and the person you asked at home to deal with everything was rushed into hospital with an in-growing toenail is not a valid excuse! I normally reply to questions and messages from winning bidders within 24 hours, so if you haven’t heard from me it will be because your email hasn’t got through and not because I have suddenly decided to trash all my Ebay business and disappear off the Planet!

And finally…..I am always happy to answer questions from potential bidders, but please check first that the answer isn’t already in the listing. Messages are much easier to read if you use a mixture of capital letters and lower case, with a bit of punctuation thrown-in here and there. And if you can make it coherent, that would be great :-)
