OK!

I have done hundreds of deals with Ray over the last 15 years and have never got a bad one from him. I have seen him go in the hole to make a deal right. I have never known him to do anyone wrong and I know I can show you hundreds, if not a thousand hams that have had deals with him that will back me up also.
I am sure if the truth be known there are two sides to this and I would like to hear it..If anyone has any questions about this they can email me at .wb4una@aol.com......

When he asked about tuner I advised him connector for cable going to radio was broken and held in by a tie wrap and sent him a picture of it. Told him I did not have tuner to amplifier cable. Tuner worked fine with older radio such as 720 and 730 series, however I did not know if it would work with a 756 Pro II. Mr. Yarborough asked about trading several items for my AT-600 amp and auto tuner. He indicated he was short on money so I thought I would help him out in that respect since I had very little invested in the tuner. With this in mind, I valued it at one hundred dollars and gave him a trade number. He agreed and trade was accomplished. He ordered an aftermarket cable to replace missing one described above, while waiting on deliver he used amp on several bands and reported it worked just fine. Upon receipt of aftermarket cable, said he hooked radio, amp and tuner up with it and started testing.
Somewhere in this process he developed problems. He then contacted me describing his problem. I asked what he wanted to do about it and he said he would like to return tuner. also offered him a manual 1.5 tuner, which he declined. He returned tuner, and I sent him a refund for amount allowed for it in trade plus twenty five dollar for return shipping costs. In view of what happended, i'm sorry it ocurred, but I feel my response to situation was reasonable. WA4OMM

Appears to be a newby ,Mar 05. Sure looks like inattention to proper operating procedure to me.

AKA cockpit error.
