Icom IC-271 H, Multimode 2 meter transceiver: The Icom IC-271 H (High Power) 2 meter all-mode transceiver covers USB, LSB, FM and CW, over the entire 2 meter band. The 32 tunable memories store frequency, mode and other information. Power output is adjustable from 1 to 100 watts. Other refinements include speech processor, all mode squelch, noise blanker, S/Center Tune Meter, RIT, PL encode and lithium memory backup. The internal PS-35 power supply is installed, so no 13 V DC needed. Features: All Mode 32 Memories Dial Lock Noise Blanker Dual Digital VFO's Speech Processor Scanning This particular unit works very well. Power output measures up to 120 W, although I have usually used it at 75 to 80 W. Cosmetically, I would rate it a 7, but the front panel is in good shape. It includes the internal power supply, hand mic with Up/down, and paper work for $500. . . The following Antennas are For Sale in Ocala, FL: All antennas are complete, and have stainless steel hardware. Obviously that means that it still shines, and is nice and clean. There is nothing that is bent, broken, or damaged in any way. In other words these are quality antennas, in very close to new condition. Antennas are priced at half of new price, so you can get an almost new antenna for half price, saving many $$$$. All of them include paper work, but also all are well marked for easy reassembly. Cushcraft A 147-4, 4 element 2 meter beam often mounted off side of tower $55 Cushcraft A 124 WB S, 4 element 2 meter beam often mounted off side of tower $55 Mosley TA-33, 3 element triband (10, 15, 20) beam This is the "standard" tribander for years and years. This one is in great condition. These go for over $600 now, but this one is only $300. Hygain CDE 45 II Rotor This is a medium duty rotor. It was used to turn the TA-33 with 6 and 2 meter beams. It is the later version with an 8 pin jones plug on the control box, and also includes about 50 feet of rotor cable. It works great and looks great. $225 11 feet of heavy duty aluminum mast $50 Coaxial Cable is available. ALL of it will be checked with an analyzer and confirmed that it is still in close to new condition. I.e. the loss will be within 10% of new, which is as close as I can measure. In other words, this is not junk! Some of the coax has a PL-259 on both ends, some on one end, and a very small amount has no connector. RG-8 or equivalent (basically the coax that is about 0.4 inches in diameter) This may be RG-8 (either regular or foam) or RG-213, or LMR-400, etc. This has been tested! I have many different lengths available. Price is basically 50 cents a foot, plus $2 per installed PL-259. Please let me know how long you need, and I can go from there. Be certain to tell me if you want a connector on one end or two. Lengths vary from one foot to 100+ feet. Thanks. RG-8 X or equivalent (Basically the 50 ohm coax that is just over 1/4 inch in diameter) Same thing applies as the RG-8 above. Cost is three feet for $1, plus $2 per PL-259. . . Pick up near Ocala FL is very much preferred. I will not ship the TA-33 or the mast, but the others can be shipped, if absolutely required. Obviously shipping costs are not included in the above prices. I also have many other accessories of many different brands available. Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests. Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
