220 band. Power output on 6 meters, 2 meters and 440 MHz
is 5/2.5/1/0.5 watts. It receives the AM and FM broadcast

Yaesu VX-5 R tri-band HT:

The VX-5 will cover the 6m, 2m, and 440 MHz ham bands,
with receive almost from DC to light. Actually
receive starts at the AM broadcast band, and goes to
about 1000 MHz, so that means it includes all of the
public service bands outside of the ham bands, weather,
FM commercial, commercial TV, SW bands, and much
more. Power output is up to about 5 watts, in 4 steps.
Of course PL tones (encode and decode) are included,
plus much, much more.

Features:
220 Memories
AM/FM BCB
CTCSS/DCS
Wideband Receive
Dual Watch
ARTS-Automatic In-Range Transponder
Backlit Keypad

This particular unit is in nice shape. It includes
the things that came with it originally, including
charger and Lithium Ion battery that seems to last
forever. The rubber duck antenna is complete with
the 6 meter "extension" that is often lost and not
included. Of course it works fine.

With paper work for $190.

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. 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. This one includes the desk charger,
rubber duck antenna, belt clip, and paper work for $95.

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

Icom MB-17 A, Quick Release Mobile Mounting Bracket:

The Icom MB-17A "Quick Release" mobile mounting bracket
fits the Icom 207, 281, 481, 800, 2100, 2200, 2340, 2350,
2410, 2700, 2710, 2800, and likely other rigs that are
about 5 1/2 inches wide.

Since it is the "quick release" type where the rig just
slides in, it likely can be used with many other rigs,
made by many different manufacturers. This means you
can use it with a Kenwood, Yaesu, Alinco, etc. in
addition to Icom.

This particular unit is new, in its original box,
complete with all hardware. $30

Radio Shack PRO 2051 Trunking Scanner:

This scanner will do it all! It has 1000 memories, and
covers from 25 MHz thru 1300 MHz, and includes "Signal
Stalker" and triple trunking. It can also function as
a weather radio with full alerting capabilities. There
are more scanning and searching facilities than one can
imagine! Of course it covers the 6 meter, 2 meter, 220
MHz, and 440 MHz ham bands, but it does so much more.

This particular radio is in its original box. It appears
that it was not used, but that the manual was examined.
I have tested it and everything seems to work perfectly,
although it has so many features I was not able to test
everything. This is a terrific immaculate scanner!

Only $125.

Heath Wattmeters/SWR Bridges:

Heath HM-2102 VHF Wattmeter/SWR Bridge:
The HM-2102 is similar to the HM-102, but covering
50 to 160 MHz., 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, looks great, and
includes paper work for $45.

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) is black hammertone, and looks very nice.

With paper work for $85.

Antennas for your HT:

All rubber ducks are for 2 meters, are in good condition,
and are $10 each, unless stated otherwise.

BNC - Original from Kenwood TH-215, about 5 inches long

BNC Connector about 7 inches long

5/16 inch threaded, as used by Motorola and others
Stubby - 4 inches long

Type F connector - 6.5 inches long

PL-259 connector - 6.5 inches long
HyGain 275, still in original packaging
-
PL-259 connector - Stubby - 4.6 inches long
Centurion, still in original package

BNC Stubby for 440 MHz, 3 inches long

ANLI AL-800 dual band HT antenna

This is a telescoping antenna that pulls out to about a 3
foot length. If covers both 2 meters and 440 MHz, and has
a BNC connector on it. It is rated to have 3.2 dbi gain on
2 meters and 5.6 dbi gain on 440 MHz.
It appears close to new. These are $39 on Amazon.
Get this one for only $25.

Radio Shack 20-006 A
This antenna is just over 2 feet in length when fully
extended. Radio Shack does not give it any gain rating,
and I don't know if I would trust those ratings anyhow.
It is safe to say it performs better than a rubber duck
antenna. This one will cover 6 m, 2 m , 220 MHz and
440 MHz. BNC connector. It is actually in its original
bag with original paper work. $15

I also have many other ham items available.  Please e-mail
me if you have specific needs.  I might be able to help you.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
