EFJ 5100 ES

[kjl13]

Hello, I am selling a bunch of EF Johnson bundle and I listed it on eBay, and I am not getting much interest. I have tried the classifieds selling area on this website, and it seems quite dead.

Are there any websites/places I can sell these?
And if anyone here has interest, dm me.

Thanks!

Which band?

 

[kjl13]

UHF

UHF - Low, Hi, 800? Lots of sellers get views by listing 800 radios as UHF - and few sales.

My bad, I should of had specified. UHF r1, 380-470

I think your auction is confusing to people with the photo showing multiple radios, etc., but only being for one actual radio. You only have one type of charger, but the main photo shows 2. I am certain at first look it appears to be an auction for 2 radios, chargers, multiple antennas and batteries for that price. P25 is not "encryption". And if it does have all those algos installed, and wasn't just "enabled" with PCIssue, it would help to open one up and show the EFJ SEM installed - that would drive sales at the price you are asking.

I don't have an auction, but alright.

Still looking for good websites/recommendations; let me know if anyone has any.

eBay. I collect HT’s, though I haven’t gotten into EFJ yet. I’ve gotten 100% of mine from eBay.

Is the programming software readily available (for purchase obviously), or do you have to sacrifice small animals and make promises to questionable deities to acquire it? I may have to consider adding EFJ to my roster.

The version software for programming depends on the version firmware in the radio.

Software is available, but may require a little searching. No problem as with the Moto CPS restrictions. I have 4 EFJs (VHF, 800 Mhz, and 900 Mhz) and they are easy to set up for ham use and quite reliable for their age. Same battery and chargers as the XTS3000, while the programming cable does have a different pin configuration on the radio connector. My 800 Mhz EFJ is better on simulcast than my XTS. The 900 Mhz EFJ is easily programmable in the ham band, but they are hard to find. The VHF is great on 2 meters, and only my Thales 25 has better receive.

Government surplus EFJ 5100s...in the 380 MHz to 470 MHz range. Most of them do have the AES XTS3000 UCMs, especially if they came off of US military installations (that's where the real value in them is). I've got about 30 of them laying around still...I use them for trade-ins.

They are quite easy to program using the cps, at least compared to some other programming softwares.

The radios I have are UHF r1(380-470).

Also the same battery and chargers as the XTS 5000.

Mine are not from a government surplus. But they do have encryption.

Even the limited keypad models can have FPP. It is an option and is installed through other software. The ones I have are part of my HT collection which includes 3 Heathkits and several other commercial radios. I did a quick search for software and found a couple of possible hits.

I have the keypad programming option from the factory, but per peoples request I add options.
