Alinco DJ-580 dual band (2m and 440 MHz) HT:

This HT receives from 110 to 174 MHz in the VHF position,
which includes the AM Aircraft band. 440 to over 480
MHz in the UHF position. Of course it transmits in the
2 meter and 440 MHz ham bands. It is my understanding
that it can also be modified to receive into the 800
and 900 MHz region. It will also cross band repeat,
and is an extremely rugged radio.

Power output has 3 different levels. With the
7.2 V battery packs, it has 0.25 W / 1 W / 2.5 W.
If used with the larger 12 V batteries, it will
produce 0.25 W / 1.2 W / 5 W.

This particular unit is in very good shape, both
electrically and cosmetically. The keyboard has very
crisp and clear lettering. It includes desk charger,
rubber duck antenna, belt clip, wrist strap, battery,
and paper work. $130


Yaesu FT-227 RA "Memorizer" 2 meter FM transceiver:

The FT-227 is an FM rig with about 12 watts output (1.5 W
in low power) covering the entire 2 meter band. This is
the "A" model that has four memories. It has provisions
for installing a CTCSS subaudible tone module.

This rig was used on packet, and will make an excellent
APRS or packet rig. It works fine and looks fine. Since
it was used on packet, there is no microphone included,
but it does include power cord and paper work for $40.


Kenwood TR-7730, 2 meter FM Transceiver:

The Kenwood TR-7730 is 2 meter mobile transceiver that has
CTCSS subaudible tone capability (tone board not installed).
It has 25W or 5W output, with 5 memories and scan functions
(band & memory).
This is an easy to operate radio! It is a great radio for
APRS or packet.

This one works 100% and looks OK, but certainly not mint.
It does have some scratches. Paper work is included.

I will sell it one of two ways.
With the MC-46 DTMF touch tone mic (which works fine and
looks really great), it is $80.
With a generic, non DTMF touch tone, regular mic, it is $50.


Kenwood TH-235 Two Meter FM HT:

The Kenwood TH-235A Two meter HT has a large easy-to-read
LCD, 60 channel memories with scanning and ten DTMF
memories. Extended receive is 136-174 MHz so it includes
the weather frequencies. When used on external DC power
you will get a full 5 watts output. With the included
PB36 battery pack, it produces 1.5 watts. The low power
setting is 0.5 watts.

Features
Backlit LCD Display
60 Memories
Scanning
Battery Saver
Built-In CTCSS Encode
Extended Receive

This particular unit works 100% and looks like it just came
out of the box new. It came from a silent key who I don't
think ever used it. This one includes the desk charger,
rubber duck antenna, belt clip, and paper work for $115.
I added a new PB-36 battery, as the old one had been in
the drawer long enough that it is not in good condition.

Cigarette lighter power cord for TH-235 above. $12

Ameritron AL-84 HF Amplifier:

The Ameritron AL-84 is a grounded grid linear amplifier
using four 6MJ6 tubes driven thru an impedance matching
and power swamping network. It has a pi net output, and
an illuminated meter that reads plate current and voltage.
There is a connector on the back that will furnish 12 V
DC at low current for such things as lights on an antenna
tuner, powering a keyer, etc. The AL-84 is rated to deliver
400 watts when driven with a 100 watt rig.

This particular unit has had the 10 meter mod done, so it
covers 160 thru 10 meters. It works fine, producing rated
power, and looks almost perfect.

With paper work for $400.


Pyramid PS-25 Power Supply (25 amps at 13 V DC):

The Pyramid PS-25 is a 13 Volt DC power supply with both a
voltmeter and an ammeter built in. The output voltage is
adjustable over a range from about 11.5 to 15.5 volts DC.
There is also an adjustment to set the current limiting,
up to 25 amps. This means it can be set so that it will
protect the finals of a solid state rig. In addition, a
buzzer is activated if it goes into over current limiting.
This power supply has the features you want!

This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice.

With paper work for $80.


Astron RS-20A Power Supply:

The RS-20A is a DC Power Supply producing 13.8 V DC (internally
adjustable from 11 to 15 V DC) at up to 16 amps continuous and
20 amps ICS. The RS-20 features crowbar over voltage protection
and fold-back current limiting to protect your equipment.

This particular supply works fine, and looks very close to new.
I do not find a scratch on it.

With paper work for $60 plus shipping from Florida.


Daiwa CS-401 Stripline 4 Position Coax Switch:

Daiwa switches utilize professionally engineered all
metal cavity construction for maximum efficiency, high
isolation and minimum resistance. Isolation is better
than 60 dB at 300 MHz. Insertion losses are less than
0.2 dB. The Daiwa CS-401 permits the selection of up
to four antennas. Unused antenna positions are grounded.

Freq. Limit 800MHz
Power Rating 2.5 kW PEP 1 kW CW
VSWR below 1:1.2
Insertion Loss < 0.2dB
Isolation 60 dB at 300 MHz
Connectors SO239

This one works fine with great switching action. $70


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.


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



Coaxial Cable:

I accumulated a fairly large amount of miscellaneous
lengths of coaxial cable. Most of the cable is RG-8
(.405 inches in diameter) or equivalent. Most has a
PL-259 on at least one end, and most on both ends.

All of the coax over 20 feet has been checked with an
analyzer, and its loss has been confirmed to be within
10% of new specs which is as close as I can measure.
Lengths under 20 feet have been checked for continuity,
because loss is almost impossible to measure for lengths
this short.

I have a large amount in many different lengths, varying
from 1 foot to 80 feet. To put it another way, I have
jumpers for in your shack, and lengths to run up your
tower. I can not list all of the lengths. Please let
me know what you need, and I will see how close I can come.

The coax is 3 feet for a dollar (33 cents a foot), plus
$2 for each installed PL-259, plus shipping from Florida.


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

UHF Male to BNC female (opposite of above) $5

BNC male for coax cables
standard type $2
crimp on type $3

Chassis mount BNC female
square mount (uses 4 screws) $3
screw in type $3

BNC "T", two female and one male $3

"N" Connector, Double Male $8


Power Cord:

This is a two pin power cord that is used on some 2 meter,
and other VHF/UHF rigs. The connector looks very similar
to a round 2 pin female mic connector.

This type cord was used by KDK, Kenwood, Yaesu and probably
others, typically back in the 1990's. I know it was used
on the KDK 2015 and 2016, Kenwood TR-9000 and others, Yeasu
FT-720 and 727 series, plus many others.

This cable works fine, and looks fine. $15


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.
