Message-ID: <009301c5a363$33c363a0$3200000a@kendell>


TVI filters For Sale:

Low Pass filters for the transmitter:

Johnson 250-20 Low Pass Filter
This is a 52 ohm cylindrical low pass filter with a cut 
off frequency of 45 MHz and 75 db of attenuation. 
It is rated to take 1000 Watts of AM, or 5000 Watts 
PEP SSB.  It has SO-239 connectors on each end.
$30.

B & W  FL-10/1500 (Also know as model 425) low pass filter
B & W  TVI filter, 50 ohm. It cuts off just above 10 meters, 
and will handle 1500 Watts. SO-239 connector on each 
end. It is in very nice condition for $ 30.

B & W FL-10/100 low pass filter
Similar to FL-10/1500 above, except power rating is 
only 100 Watts.  Use this one after your rig, and before
your amplifier.  Nice shape for $ 15.

B & W 415 low pass filter
This is a very heavy duty filter.  It is almost twice the size of
most 1500 Watt low pass filters.  It appears to be an older
filter, in a copper enclosure that has been painted at the 
factory.  $30

B & W Low Pass filter
Designed for 75 ohm systems.  Very heavy duty.  $30

Drake TV-5240-LP low pass filter
This number is correct; it is not a TV-5200.  This filter is
different than the typical low pass filter.  It has an SO-239
connector on each end, but instead of being long and skinny,
the enclosure is about 5 inches square.  I think this is a 
fairly old filter.  It has brownish/gray paint over the copper
colored case.  I have not been able to find any specs on
this filter.  It does say "For use in 52 ohm line of transmitters
operating below 30 Mc." printed on it.  $30

Drake TV-1000-LP Low pass filter 
This is the filter that is in the copper case, and may also 
be used on the low end of six meters, as well as HF.  It is 
a 50 ohm filter and is good for 1000 W below 30 MHz, and 
about 200 W up to 52 MHz.  With paper work for $ 30

Drake TV-100-LP low pass filter
This is for lower power -- up to 100 watts.
It has the copper case. It is approaching antique status, 
as I would guess it must be 30 years old, but still works 
fine. Basically it is the same as the TV-1000-LP above, 
but with one tenth of the power ratings.  $ 15

Alinco ELP-60 D LX low pass filter
For 50 ohm systems, with up to 500 watts of power.
This one has an SO-239 on one end, and about a 2 foot
Length of coax and PL-259 on the other end.  $30

Nye Viking Low Pass Filter Model 020-001
Eliminate the harmonics going out your feed line,
and reduce TVI.  It is rated at 2000 watts, with 
over 65 db of attenuation above 57 MHz.
This one is in very nice shape for $30.

Kenwood LF-30 A
This is Kenwood's low pass filter, with a cut off of
about 30 MHz, and more than 90 db of attenuation
between 90 and 300 MHz.  It will handle 1000 watts,
and has an SO-239 connector on each end.  It is in
extremely nice condition, with paper work for $35.


Drake TV-300-HP
High Pass filter for the TV for 300 ohm twin lead.
This filter is collectable, and is unused as best I can
determine. It is still in its original box (not the newer 
blister pack), with an "RLD" logo on it, and says 
"NEW TV-300 HP High Pass Filter, Attenuates 
0-52 MHz".  A grounding strap is also attached.  
$ 15

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <005e01c5a57a$661061f0$f801000a@kendell>


Coaxial antenna switches For Sale:

B & W 591 A  Coax "Transfer" Switch
This switch is designed to switch an auxiliary piece of
equipment in and out (For example, bypass a linear
amplifier, transverter, preamp, etc.).  It has four SO-239
connectors.   Good shape for $ 35 

B & W Model 550 A coax switch
This model will switch up to 5 antennas, and does NOT
ground unused antennas.  It has SO-239 connectors,
with the coax coming out like spokes of a wheel.
It is in good condition and works fine.  $ 30 

MFJ 1701 Six position coax switch
It is in a large rectangular box, with all 7 SO-239 
connectors coming out the long side of the box.  Unused
antennas are grounded.  Rated at 2000 Watts PEP, and 
1.8 to 30 MHz.  In nice condition for $40

2 position coax switch
These are a bit odd.  They look close to what a Dow Key
antenna relay looks like, but no relay coil to switch.  It is a
manual switch instead.  There is a SO-239 connector at the
top coming out of each side, with the common at the bottom.
In the middle is a bar that slides back and forth to select the
antenna.  It is in a very rugged sealed metal box.  Three
switches available for $25 each.

Workman CX-3,  3 position Coax Switch
This is in a small rectangular box, with the 3 switched 
SO-239 connectors coming out the rear, and the 
common coming out the front. Unused positions are 
NOT grounded.  Rated at 1000 watts.  It is in very nice 
condition for $ 14.

Goldline 2 position Coax Switch
Small rectangular box, with SO-239 connectors on the
end and the back.  Rated at 1000 watts.  $10

Dow Key type antenna relay
This is similar to the antenna relay like we used
in the 1960's to switch between transmit and receive.  
It has a 120 V  coil, but no auxiliary contacts.  It is not
Dow Key, but functions the same.  It seems slightly
heavier than a Dow Key.  $35

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Message-ID: <007c01c5a585$8e5b2ae0$f801000a@kendell>


For Sale:

Waters (B & W) Model 384 dummy load

This is a very heavy duty dummy load, rated for 1500
Watts for 4 minutes.  It is good on all of the HF bands, 
and up thru 230 MHz on VHF.  It is in a metal enclosure
about 8 inches high x 5 inches wide x 11 inches deep
with a large light on the front that lights when it gets too 
hot.  It is a 52 ohm load, although this one measures 55
ohms, which is certainly very close.  This one is in very 
good condition.  It works fine and looks extremely good 
also.  There is one small spot about the size of a pin head 
where the paint is off on the back of the top.

$85 plus shipping from Florida.
