Heath items for sale:
Heath HM-2102 wattmeter.
This is the VHF version of the HM-102 wattmeter.
It covers 50 to 160 MHz, with 25 W and 250 W
full scale. 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 by
about 3 feet. SO-239 connectors in and out. It
works 100%, and looks very nice. Paper work
included for $45.
Heath HN-31 "Cantenna" RF Dummy Load
This is the traditional Heath dummy load that will
handle up to 1000 Watts. It has a derating curve
which is included. I measured the resistor and it is
about 46 ohms, so obviously it is not fried, and is
a good match for 50 ohms. Paper work included
for $40.
Heath HD-15 phone patch
This is the unit with the VU meter on the left and 3
knobs that match the SB series to the middle and
right. Low or high Z output to the transmitter. It is
in very nice shape, and includes paper work for $ 25.
Vintage Heath SWR bridges:
AM-2
This SWR bridge matches the DX-40, DX-100, etc.
silverish gray color. It has a single meter that has
both SWR and "Percent reflected power" on it. It
has 2 dark gray knobs on it -- one for switching
between forward and reflected power, and a
control to set the sensitivity.
This particular unit is certainly not new, but it is not
beat up either. The cabinet has a couple spots with
a small amount of paint off. The front panel looks
fine. $25
HM-11
This SWR bridge is very similar to the AM-2, but
the styling and paint colors have changed to match
the DX-60, starting to become "Heathkit Green."
It has the lighter gray knobs, typical of the DX-60,
etc. This unit is not in as good of shape as the
AM-2. The case could stand a paint job, in that
there are quite a few scratches. The front panel
is good, however, one of the knobs has been over
tightened, and has a crack. $15
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
