wayoverthere Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Standard horizon Hx460s. Never seen this before. Looks similar to the vx6/vx7, and looks like it might take the same batteries, but it's a marine vhf handheld. Inexpensive, too. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/159898068 WRQC527 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRQC527 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Yep, it takes an FNB-80Li battery, which fits something like 10 different Yaesu, Vertex and Standard Horizon radios, including the VX6/VX7. I saw one at a thrift shop once without a charger and it looked like it spent most of its life submerged in saltwater, but it still powered on. wayoverthere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayoverthere Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 If it covered more than just marine I'd be really tempted to bid just to have in the collection (I have a vx7, and a bunch of vertex standard stuff too), but I'm nowhere near the water.

WRQC527 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'm actually glad you posted this because I had forgotten I have an account with Goodwill and now I found a handheld scanner I might buy if it doesn't get overbid. wayoverthere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axorlov Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Dammit, how did I not know Goodwill has it's own auction site! There are also some incorrectly classified items, like PRO-2035 in home electronics\receivers, just a heads-up.

wayoverthere Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Yeah, it's kind of a mishmash...kind of like going to goodwill. There's an icom 718 on there tempting me, but it's at almost $400, untested. Also a pair of part 90 icom radios, 450-520 range https://shopgoodwill.com/item/159959792 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axorlov Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Some fine oscilloscopes in Health and Fitness category. Well, in a big picture, maybe it is a correct classification. WRQC527 and Chimborazo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can figure out how to get registered think I'll at least bid on them. Many dont realize goodwill is a huge for profit company. Its not salvation army. wayoverthere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwill is a huge 501(c)(3) charity, not a “for profit” company. Here’s a link to their most recent 990 form: https://www.goodwill.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GII-Public-Inspection-Copy-990-990.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
