I bought another used ham radio a few months ago. It is an HB1A and can operate on 3 of the ham bands ( 20, 30, and 40 meters ).
I've used it a half dozen times and it works well. It has a builtin keyer and puts out right at 4 watts so it is perfect for portable use. Here's a picture showing it with an MFJ tuner and my Kent key.
The LCD display shows your frequency, mode ( CW or sideband ) and has a passable swr meter when transmitting. If you do a Google search you'll find lots of good information on the radio and it's successor the HB1B ( 4 bands versus 3 ).
Check it out.
