Just found me a nice Hygain 623 Utopia

I just found a nice 623A that I grabbed, no power cord or microphone, but that's nothing to worry about.

Looking forward to seeing the insides, the outside looked pretty good in the photos.

I'm just glad I finally found one. It was seriously my worst idea to trade that radio when I had it.

Nice! One of my favorite radios. I wish mine was in a little better cosmetic shape. But it's not too bad. I have a friend on the west coast who might have been watching that listing. He's thinking about grabbing a 623.

Mine too. Sorry if I stole it out from under him, I couldn't pass it up as it seemed to be in pretty good shape!

I hate to say it but I'm a little excited to get to back on the air!

Just trying to think of the perfect microphone to pair it with.

The audio bandwidth of the 623 is wide enough that it sounds good with darn near any mic. I use my Silver Eagle D104 mostly, but the Turner mics also sound good on it.

I'll grab a few and wire them up, I was leaning towards the Turner's anyway. I'm thinking a +3 would be sweet. Thanks for the suggestions, Sandbagger!
