I have the following for sale:

1) ICOM IC-290A, good condition, $150.00

2) Heath HM-2102 VHF (6 & 2 meters) wattmeter, works fine, $25.00

3) Heath HM-102 HF wattmeter, works fine, SWR calibrate pot is a little 
noisy. $25.00

4) Ten Tec 1209 6-meter transverter with 2-meter IF. I built this and 
find that it puts out less power than specs indicate (about 4-1/2 watts) 
when driven by my IC-290A. Otherwise it works fine with good on-air 
reports. In excellent condition (aside from low output power) with 
assembly manual. $45.00

5) Homebrew 5-element 222 yagi (48-inch boom) with store-bought driven 
element (K1FO, I think) and insulated through-the-boom 3/16th inch 
diameter parasitic elements. It needs a boom/mast bracket since I used 
this on a rover with the tail of the vertically polarized yagi slipped 
into the front-end of my 2-meter yagi. Worked great! $25.00

6) HP 608D signal generator. Works fine except the output metering, for 
calibrating the generator output, is not working. I have verified the 
output and the attenuator calibration on a spectrum analyzer (down to 
the -80bm floor of the SA) and the attenuator tracks nicely. Includes 
full manual on CD-ROM and a couple of spare pencil triodes that were 
pulled from an old 608A. $40.00

7) Tripp-Lite PR-40 13.8 volt/40 amp DC power supply. Runs my FT-301D 
and VHF gear easily.Good physical condition. $70.00

8) HyGain TH6DX triband (20/15/10) yagi with documentation. This (and 
items 9 and 10) is part of the KD7OJM estate and I am reducing the price 
to $150.00. The beam is assembled and on the ground behind my garage. I 
have bought some replacement stainless steel hardware that was missing 
on the original HyGain element clamps. Some of those clamps that were 
missing were replaced by whoever had the antenna up last (I don't know 
if it was Merle) and they used regular stainless hose clamps, which work 
fine. The only other missing item is a clamp to attach a wire form one 
side of the Beta match to the driven element...the other clamp is in 
place. Overall the TH6DX is in good shape with no rust or damage 
evident...although it would be strongly suggested that the buyer replace 
the rubber components (trap and element end caps) that are available to 
under $27.00 from MFJ/HyGain.

9) SCS 2-meter FM/SSB solid state amplifier. 4 watts in gets 25 watts 
out. The case and front panel are a little banged up but the amp works 
nicely! $25.00

10) Kenwood TR-2500 2-meter HT wth "rubber duck". Battery is no good so 
I cannot test but Merle's widow says he used to use this HT so I believe 
that replacing the battery should get it fully operational. I've been 
told by someone who has done it that the battery pack can be split open 
and the individual cells replaced...he had it done at one of the Reno 
battery stores for jjust over $10.00. The '2500 has a single frequency 
CTCSS board that should be set to 123Hz. The radio is in nice condition. 
$25.00

Local pickup on the larger items is necessary...shipping, at the buyer's 
expense,  might be arranged on the smaller items. Payment of Postal 
money order preferred.

Thanks,

Jack, AE7DX
