Mobile Antennas, Wattmeters and SWR Bridges, and antenna tuners
For Sale:

Avanti "On Glass" antenna for 440 MHz:

This antenna was made by Avanti to mount on a windshield,
or other glass. It does not require a ground plane, as
it is a 1/2 wave antenna, rated to have 3 db gain. It is
ideal for places where a ground plane is not available,
such as a boat or motor home, in addition to cars. A
special tuning box is included to match to your particular
situation.

Avanti Antenna for 440 MHz
Still in its original tube, unopened. $33

Larsen VHF and UHF Mobile Antennas:

Antennas are used, but in very good condition.

Larsen NLA-150, 2 meter antenna, for Larsen NLA mount
Has about 3 db gain on 2 meters; includes whip. $16
As above, but coil only, without whip. $10

Larsen NLA-450 coil and "stacked" whip for 440 MHz
Fits the Larsen NLA mount, and has about 5 db gain on
the 70 cm band. Stacked whip is included. $12

Larsen NLA-Q
Fits the Larsen NLA mount, but is a quarter wave antenna.
Can be cut for 2 m, 220 MHz, or 440 MHz. $9

Larsen NLA-MM Mag Mount
Can be used with any NLA type antenna, including those
above.  Includes the mag mount itself, plus coax with
PL-259 connector. $20

Larsen LM-150, 2 meter antenna for Larsen LM Mount
Has 3 db gain on 2 meters.
This coil is still in its original box, and appears to
never have been used. It even has its rubber washer with
it, along with instructions.
Coil only for $20.
Coil, with 4 foot used whip. $26

Larsen Q Quarter Wave Antenna
Fits a 5/16 inch stud, such as the Larsen LM mount,
and others. It can be cut for 2 meters, 220 MHz, or
450 MHz bands. $8

Trunk Lip Mount with 5/16 inch stud
Ideal for use with the "Q" or LM-150above, or any other
antenna that requires a 5/16 inch stud. Very nice for $18.

Hustler MOS Monitor Antenna:
The Hustler MOS monitor antenna is for use on indoor scanners.
It features a suction cup to hold it to the top of the table.
A Motorola type connector can be moved up and down the antenna
so that it is just the right height to plug directly in to
your scanner.
Basically, this antenna will attach to the table behind your
desktop scanner, out of the way, but will provide a significant
amount of gain over the internal antenna.
This particular antenna works fine, and looks very close to new.
$20

Heath HM-2102 VHF wattmeter, covering 50 to 160 MHz.

Similar to the HM-102, but for VHF frequencies, with 250 and
25 watt scales. It can also be used to check SWR, and has a
remote sensor that can either be left inside the meter, or
separated from the actual meter. SO-239 connectors in and out.

This particular meter works great. It looks good, but has a
small defect on the left side of the meter that does not
effect operation.

Paper work included for $40.

Dual Meter SWR Bridges:

All of these feature two separate meters -- one for reading
forward power and another for reading SWR. This permits one
to easily monitor both the power going out, and the SWR on
the antenna. They were made in Japan, and labeled with various
names, including Swan, Siltronix, and Quement. All have SO-239
connectors on each end, and work fine.

All will work on HF, and VHF, covering 3 to 150 MHz, so are
ideal for the new rigs that include 6 and 2 meters.

Siltronix SWR-2
This one is in its original box, and appears that it has
never been used. With original paper work for $50

Swan SWR-1
This one is in its original box, but the meter itself says
Siltronix on it. The original instruction sheet has both
Swan and Siltronix on it. $45

Quement SWB-2
No box for this one, but it works fine and looks great.
With paper work for $40

SWR Bridges / Field Strength Meters:

Midland 23-126 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
This is an HF SWR Bridge, but it can be used up thru 2 meters,
with slightly reduced accuracy. It is also a field strength
meter. SO-239 connectors.
This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it; it may not have ever been used. In its
original box with original instructions and small telescoping
antenna. $35

ThordTest SWFS-2 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
Appears to be the same as the Midland above, but the outer case
is beige instead of black.
In original box, with original instruction sheet, and antenna.
$30

MFJ-906 Antenna Tuner/Wattmeter/SWR Bridge for 6 meters:

The MFJ-906 6 Meter antenna tuner for the Magic Band gives you
low SWR with practically any coax-fed antenna.

With low SWR, your rig will be more efficient; you will get more
power out of your 6 meter transceiver and into your antenna for
more DX, it will run cooler and last longer.

A lighted Cross-Needle SWR/Wattmeter shows SWR, forward and
reflected power simultaneously in 300/60 forward and 30/6
reflected Watt ranges and has an ON/OFF lamp switch. With a
built-in bypass switch, you can bypass your tuner and connect
your transceiver directly to your antenna.

The MFJ-906 handles 100 Watts FM and 200 Watts SSB PEP. The
MFJ-906 measures 8" x 2½" x 3". The meter lamp uses 12 Vdc.

This one works fine and looks very close to new. MFJ sells
them for about $100. With paper work for $65.

ParaDynamics PDC-5 Wattmeter
This unit has a wattmeter with scales of 100 W, 10 W, and
1 W. It has an SWR Bridge built in, with an antenna tuner.
It was obviously made for 11 meter use, but it works well
on other frequencies. The tuner portion works fine on 10 m,
12 m, and 15 m. The wattmeter seems accurate from 20 meters
thru 10 meters.
It is physically small (only 5 X 3 X 1), so would be ideal
for portable use.
The wattmeter and antenna tuner portion work fine, however,
the SWR portion of this unit is inoperative. It looks fine. $12

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
