I have acquired a "new" rig (actually a used IC-765) and have some items
that I no longer need. I want to take a shot at local sales and delivery
before going elsewhere with this gear:
1) Yaesu FT-757GXII, computer controllable 100-watt 160-10 CW/SSB/AM/FM
transceiver (general coverage receive) with stock SSB/CW filters, Yaesu
MH-1B8 hand mic (with up/down buttons on top), DC power cord and USB to
rig cable for computer interface. Two problems: First, the CW carrier
oscillator crystal will not net onto frequency so CW may not work but
the rig works fine on SSB; Second, the bearing on the tuning shaft is
worn and the shaft is a bit "wobbly" although that does not affect the
tuning significantly. Otherwise the rig in in good shape with some wear
on the exterior here and there but overall it is pretty nice. Asking
$225.00.
2) Vectronics VCD300LP 300-watt antenna tuner in very good condition.
Includes cross-needle SWR meter with peak/average metering capability, 3
coax inputs (one for bypass) and inputs for wire antennas. Asking $65.00
3) Pyramid PS-26KS switching DC power supply in very good condition.
Adjustable from 6 to 15 volts at 20 amps, Runs the '757 nicely. Fully
metered and has overvoltage/overcurrent protection. I have used this
supply with no hint of switching noise into an HF receiver. Asking $60.00.
4) Radio Shack 21-533 SWR/field strength meter. Says it will handle a
kw, but I don't know about that. Looks new with f/s antenna, manual and
PL-259 jumper coax. Asking $10.00.
5) Yaesu FT-757GX transceiver, like the '757GXII but no computer control
and some other slight differences. This is a parts radio with a bad
100-watt PA stage and missing a couple of fixed capacitors. It is apart
now but I can put everything back together when sold if the buyer
wishes. When I last had the rig together the GX receiver was working
fine. I believe that the transmitter is also ok save for the bad PA
stage. This rig shares many components with the GXII and may be of some
value as a parts source later. For example, the tuning shaft bearing is
in a bit better shape on this rig so might be a candidate for a swap.
Comes with Yaesu hand mic and manual but no DC cord (uses a standard
Jones 4-pin connector). Asking $75.00...$50.00 if it is sold with the
GXII listed above.
Thanks,
