VHF and UHF Antennas (2 m and 440 MHz) and related equipment
For Sale:


VHF Triband Mobile Mag Mount Antenna:

This mobile antenna is a VHF Triband antenna covering the
6 meter, 2 meter, and 440 MHz ham bands. This makes it
ideal for some of the newer multiband and dual band rigs
available today.

The antenna is about 3 feet long and has a very strong
magnet. It has a long coax cable with a PL-259 connector.

It works great, and looks very close to new. $75

a special mount made by Larsen.

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

Heath HM-2141 Dual Meter VHF Wattmeter / SWR Bridge:

The HM-2141 is the VHF version of the more popular
HM-2140 wattmeter and SWR Bridge, and has the same
features, except it covers from 50 to 175 MHz.

This is the wattmeter that has two meters on it, so it
reads both forward and reflected power at the same time.
It also has a "Peak" position, so it can capture the peak
power, in essence reading PEP output. Forward scales
are 30 or 300 Watts, and reverse are 10 W or 100 W,
plus SWR scale. It covers 50 to 175 MHz. It needs a 9
volt battery for "peak" operation. It has a remote
sensor with about 3 feet of cable.

This particular meter works 100%. The outer case (top
and sides) has been repainted black hammertone, and
looks very nice.

With paper work for $100.


HF and VHF SWR Bridge:

Royce 2-100 Single Meter SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter

This unit covers from 3 to 150 MHz, covering HF,
6 meters,and 2 meters. SO-239 connectors in and out.

This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it, but it does have a previous owner's
name on it.

In its original box with original instructions. $25


Coaxial Lightning Arresters:

These lightning arresters are made to be inserted in to
your coaxial feedline, to help reduce lightning damage.

Cushcraft LAC-2
Still in the original blister pack, unused.
This one has an SO-239 (female UHF) connector on each end,
so that a PL-259 can be screwed into it. $15

Cushcraft LAC-1
No markings on this to confirm the model number, but it
looks like the Cushcraft "Blitz Bug".
It has an SO-239 on one end and a PL-259 on the other end
female UHF on one end and male on the other). $10


High Power HF 1 to 1 Balun:

This is Palomar's very high power 1 to 1 HF balun. I am
not sure if it is rated at 3000 watts or 5000 watts, but
it is the big one. It is 4 inches in diameter and about
3 1/2 inches high. It has an SO-239 connector on the
bottom, that has a gold plated center pin, and silver
plated outer. It has "pigtails" coming out of the top
to connect to your balanced antenna.

It is designed so that it can easily be used with a beam.
It has a bracket from each side, and then a U bolt that
can attach to up to a 2 1/2 inch diameter mast or boom.
All hardware is stainless steel. This is a quality balun!

This one works fine and looks fine. $60


Coaxial Cable "Jumpers" for your shack:

I have a good quantity of coaxial cable "jumpers" available.
These are short lengths of RG-8 coax, with a PL-259 connector
on both ends. I have a variety of lengths from under a foot
to about 5 feet long. Send me the lengths that you would
like, and I will see how close I can come.

Although most are RG-8 (the larger, approximately 0.4 inch
coax that takes full legal power), I also have some that
are RG-8 X (the medium coax approximately 1/4 inch in
diameter). Please ask for RG-8 X, if that is what you
would like.

All jumpers are $6 each.


Coax connectors and adapters:

Prices are per connector. Several of each are available.
Most are unused.

UHF Right angle 90 degree elbow connector $3

UHF double female "Barrel connector" (two SO-239 together) $3

UHF "Bulkhead Connector" - Double female, as above, but for
mounting thru a window, siding, etc. about 3 inches long $6

UHF double male connector (two PL-259's together) $3

UHF "T" connector with two female (SO-239) and one male
(PL-259) connection $5

Antenna adapter to fit the BNC connector on the HT
and provide an SO-239 connector that will permit
a PL-259 to be attached. (BNC male to UHF female) $5

Low Pass TVI Filters:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce
harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors, and are 50
ohm filters.

This first one works on 6 meters as well as HF:

Drake TV-1000-LP Low pass TVI filter
This is the filter that may also be used on the low end of six
meters, as well as HF. It is good for 1000 W "average" below 30
MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. With paper work for $30.

Drake TV-1000
LP Filter as above, which functions fine electrically, but looks
ugly. With paper work. $25

Others for HF:

B & W FL-10/1500
This filter cuts off just above 10 meters, and handles 1500
Watts. It is the latest model B&W filter.
In very nice condition, it looks very close to new. $40.

Johnson 250-20 Low Pass Filter
This is a 52 ohm cylindrical low pass filter with a cut
off frequency of 45 MHz and 75 db of attenuation.
It is rated to take 1000 Watts of AM, or 5000 Watts
PEP SSB. With mounting bracket. $30

Para Dynamics PDC 1089
This filter is rated at a full Kilowatt, up to 30 MHz.
5 x 6 x 2 inch black box, instead of the more familiar long
enclosure. It looks like new. $25

Bencher YA-1, high power, low pass TVI filter
If you need a more heavy duty filter for the output of
your amplifier, this one is ideal. It will take full legal
power plus, and has at least 80 db signal attenuation at
TV channel 2.This one works great, and looks close to new.
Bencher currently sells these for about $90. Only $60.


I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
