Bencher BY-1 CW Paddles and MFJ 422 C Electronic Keyer:

The legendary BY-1 paddle has graced many ham shacks
worldwide. You set the spring tensioning, with no
adjustments to make other than desired contact spacing.
It has a light touch for sending clean code, but is heavy
enough to not walk around the table. The adjustment
wrench is held under the base.

This one works great and is in its original box. Only $95.

MFJ 422 C Electronic Keyer
This keyer mounts on the back of the Bencher paddle, and
is a great keyer. It includes a side tone, with volume and
speed control on the side. This one works fine and looks
fine. With paper work for $40.

Buy both of the above for $125.

MFJ 410 Morse Code Teaching Computer / Keyer:

This is a different type of unit, and apparently is
quite rare.

It does several things:
First, it is a normal everyday CW keyer, capable of
keying the newer solid state rigs, but also the older
grid block negative keying.
Second, it will generate CW so that you can learn the code.
It will do either alpha only or alpha and numeric.

Front panel controls include a meter which will tell you
what speed the unit is sending, up to 50 WPM. There is
a speed control, delay adjustment, a switch to select
"tune", keyer, alpha numeric, or alpha only, and a volume
control/power switch. The back of the unit has a 2.5 mm
jack for power (9 to 18 volts needed, or internal 9 V
batteries), plus 1/4 jack for keyer paddles, RCA connectors
for either + or - keying, and an earphone jack.

It is in a nice wood grain cabinet, and functions perfectly.
Buy it for only $50.

McElroy "Stream Key":

This McElroy "Stream Key" is often considered the best
straight key ever made. I won't go quite that far, but
it certainly is one of the best. Extremely good action.

This one is the one with the black crinkle base, and is
sometimes referred to as the model 200. It was probably
made between 1940 and 1943.

This one works fine. It looks fine, although I am certain
that you might find some dust on it.

Only $100

Cables for code keys and paddles:

About 3 feet long, with a mono 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) phone plug on it,

As above, but 1/4 inch plug. $5

Cables for paddles
About 3 feet long, with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) stereo connector on the

Yaesu XF-8.2M-601, 600 Hz Crystal Filter:

The XF-8.2M-601 is used in the 8.2 MHz IF of many
Yaesu transceivers, including the FT-102, FT-747,
FT-757, FT-767, and possibly the FT-1000 series.
I was told it would work in the FT-1000 but have
not been able to confirm that, so please check
your manual.

The 600 hz bandwidth is ideal for CW, but it is
also great for RTTY and other digital modes,
including FT-8, PSK-31, etc.

This one works fine. It looks fine also, as if
that matters for an internal filter. It is a
"solder in" filter. Only $70.

.
TenTec 288, 1800 Hz Crystal filter:

A 1800 Hz crystal filter is used for narrow SSB,
or wide CW, or for digital modes, to get rid
of QRM off to the side.

TenTec 288, 1800 Hz crystal filter for TenTec rigs
with the 6 MHz IF. It is used in the Paragon, Delta,
newer Omnis, and others. This one works great, and
is like new, with paper work for $75.
.

.
I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories,
etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.

.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
