From what I could tell, all modes work, there is no frequency drift, meter light works, meter works, mic keys up as normal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt transmits fine (see power output in the video).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also found the RIT light stays on, and the RIT toggle switch doesn't latch in the on\/off position as it should.  The toggle is spongy, and pops back up when flipped down.  This doesn't interfere with the actual use of the radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmetics are pretty good for it's age.  It has some finish chips, etc, but no signs of mistreatment.  Both plastic pop-up pins are in the top access panel (those are often missing, but not this time).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the RIT switch issue, this is being sold as is, for parts or repair only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips safely and quickly from Mississippi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"873\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y9sSEB8TVnA\" title=\"Icom IC 251A, 2 Meter Transceiver, All Modes\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Icom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46458818953412,"sku":"MISC A4","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9413\/8052\/files\/20260728_151440.jpg?v=1785337653","url":"https:\/\/fatcat.parts\/products\/icom-ic-251a-2-meter-144-mhz-transceiver-with-mic-and-power-cord","provider":"FatCat.Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
