> It is rated to cover 1.8 thru 30 MHz, so it covers all of the
> HF bands. It will measure up to 2000 Watts, in ranges of 2000,
> 200, or 20. It will also indicate SWR, which requires at least
> 1/2 Watt. It has a nice back light, and requires 13 V DC for

> Quement SWB-2 Dual Meter

> It has SO-239 connectors on each end.
> It will work on HF, and VHF, covering 3 to 150 MHz, so is
> ideal for the new rigs that include 6 and 2 meters.
> Works fine and looks great. With paper work for $40

> 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,

> Larsen NLA-450 coil and "stacked" whip for 440 MHz

> 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

> 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,

> Trunk Lip Mount with 5/16 inch stud
> Ideal for use with the "Q" or LM-150above, or any other

> B & W FL-10/1500 low pass filter

> With paper work $40.

> B & W 425 low pass filter
> It cuts off just above 10 meters, and will handle 1500+ Watts.
> Maximum attenuation is at 52 MHz, with at least 70 db across
> the band. This is an older model that seems much heavier duty.
> It weighs almost twice as much as the newer model, and looks
> like it would take more power. It even has a serial number on

> Drake TV-3300-LP Low Pass Filter
> This is a modern low pass filter to go between your transmitter
> and antenna, and has been optimized to have more attenuation
> in the 40 MHz region, where many TVs have their IF. It is good
