The TS-186D is a heterodyne frequency meter, similar in function to a BC-221, with coverage to 10 GHz. The VFO is a type 2C40 or 446A lighthouse tube.

Useful for parts, but as the test set they are no longer on the approved list for an FAA-certified shop.  The other two are also Radar/Radar Beacon (not to be confused with L-band ATCRBS equipment) test sets.  Unfortunately, I'm not certain if any of these would be useful in the ham shack.  That said... there's always someone, someplace, who would probably really like to have these.
