Boatanchor items For Sale:


B & W 377 Coaxial Antenna Relay:
I had never seen one of these before. Most of us are familiar
with the Dow Key Antenna relays that many of us used 40 or 50
years ago. This unit serves the same function, but is somewhat
unique.
The B & W 377 is housed in a hexagon box. It has three SO-239
connectors coming out three of the sides, a length of wire on
one side that goes to the coil of the relay, and two sides that
are blank.
The coil is rated to work on 48 to 130 volts AC. The original
single page instruction sheet says that it is a unique relay
design permitting this large variation in voltage. It is good
to 150 MHz, and will handle 2000 Watts PEP, or 1000 watts
continuous.
It appears that this unit has never been used. It has the
original instruction sheet, and original box. The unit itself
does not appear to have been used, and looks perfect. $75


Microphones:

All of these microphones have been tested and work well.

Johnson Hi Z Hand Microphone
This high impedance hand mic is a gray color, with the
Johnson logo with the Viking on it. It has a PTT switch and
coiled cord, and produces a nice pattern on the scope. It
looks good also. $30

Generic Hi Z Hand Microphone
This hand mic is black in color, and looks like it might
have come from a HyGain rig. It has a PTT switch and black
coiled cord. $25

Shure 401 B, Low Z Hand Microphone
This mic has characteristics similar the the Shure 444
Desk Mic, but this one is a hand mic. It is a controlled
magnetic mic, with frequency response tailored for voice
communications. It has a rugged case, and a heavy duty
coiled cord. 4 pin connector. With paper work for $40.

Shure 104 C, Low Z hand Microphone
This is a very heavy duty Shure mic. It appears to be new,
with stripped and tinned ends that have never been on a
connector. It is in its original box, with the original
instruction manual. $30

Chrome Low Z Hand Microphone
This mic is chrome plated. My memory says it may have come
from a Polycom rig. The mic is a good solid metal case with
chrome plating all around, with a black PTT switch and black
coiled cord. There are some pits on the chrome; it works
fine. $30

Generic Hand Microphone
This is a low impedance hand microphone, black in color.
With 4 pin connector. $25
With no connector. $22

Lafayette EAM-15 dynamic hand microphone
2000 ohm impedance can be used any place a dynamic mic is
needed. Stripped and tinned leads.
It works fine, and looks good also. $25


DTMF Touch Tone Microphones:

KDK DM TT-1 DTMF Touch Tone Microphone
This mic has a 12 digit touch tone pad on it, along with a
switch to turn the pad on and off. I presently has a 4 pin
plug on it, and can be used on most any rig. It works fine,
and looks great. $35

CES 655 L "Microdialer" DTMF Microphone
You can manual dial a number, or automatically have it
stored in the mic, and "speed dial" with this mic. 12
digit touch tone pad on the front, with the microphone
part above the pad. This one presently has a 4 pin plug
on it, but of course that can be changed. $35

CES 600 L, Universal DTMF microphone
This has a normal touch tone pad on the front, with
a low impedance microphone. This one has the 8 pin
modular plug (like a computer LAN) on it. This mic has
not been used, so it is in really great condition.
With paper work for $40.

Data Signal "Data-Coder 5" touch tone mic
This mic has a 12 digit touchtone pad on it, plus a
normal low impedance microphone. With 4 pin plug.
Like new. $38


Communications Speaker
This 4 inch square speaker is optimized for communications
frequencies (300 to 3000 Hz). It is in a black enclosure,
and is an 8 ohm speaker. It has a cord with a 1/8 inch
(3.5 mm) mono plug on the end.
This one works fine and looks OK also. $15


CW Items:

Vibroplex Brass Racer Triangular Iambic Paddle

The Brass Racer Paddles are unique in that there are no springs
in the design. Tension on the paddle is infinitely adjustable by
the use of magnets. It is a convenient, space saving portable
keyer paddle unit crafted from solid brass with a lacquer coated
brushed finish mounted on a hardwood base. Designed for use
with an external keyer or a keyer built into the radio. It has a
long shielded cord with a 1/4 inch stereo plug. It works fine
and looks good. $100

Cable for straight key
About 3 feet long, with a mono 1/4 inch phone plug on it,
as is used with a straight key. $5
As above, but 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug. $5

Cable for paddles
About 3 feet long, and with a 1/4 inch stereo connector
on the end, like used by most rigs. $8
As above, but 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug $8


Low Pass TVI Filters:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter (inserted
in the coax line after the transmitter or transceiver) to
reduce harmonic interference.

Bencher YA-1, high power, low pass TVI filter
If you need a more heavy duty filter for the output of
your amplifier, this one is ideal. It will take full legal
power plus, and has at least 80 db signal attenuation at
TV channel 2.
It is also in a very sturdy metal case with SO-239 connectors
on each end, and is a 50 ohm filter.
This one works great, and looks close to new. Someone added
some felt to the bottom, so that it protects better. It is in its
original box, with paper work. Bencher currently sells these
for about $90. This one is only $65.

B & W FL-10/1500 (Also known 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. This is the latest model B & W filter. It is in very nice
condition; it looks very close to new. With paper work $40.

Drake TV-5200-LP
This is the more modern version of the Drake TV-1000 Low Pass
Filter. This is the filter that may also be used on the low
end of six meters, as well as HF. It is good for 1000 Watts
average below 30 MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. It works
fine, and is in very nice shape. $35

Drake TV-3300-LP Low Pass Filter
This is a modern low pass filter to go between your transmitter
and antenna, and has been optimized to have more attenuation
in the 40 MHz region, where many TVs have their IF. It is good
for 1000 Watts "average" according to the manual, and has
over 80 db attenuation at 41 MHz. This one looks great, and
includes the paper work. $30


Hustler HF mobile resonators:
All work fine and are in good cosmetic condition.

"Super" high power resonators (good for 2 KW PEP):
80 meter RM-80 S
can be cut for CW or phone, and also used on a 4BTV
Vertical to give 80/75 meter coverage
(basically make it into a 5BTV) $38


Coax Cable with Type "N" Connectors:
This cable is made of RG-8 coax and is about 6 feet long.
It has a male type "N" connector on each end. $15

FOR SALE OR TRADE - I have three HF amateur band mobile whips 
that are for sale or trade. All are in excellent condition. 

PRO-AM

PHF-40 = 40m whip antenna
PHF-15 = 15m whip antenna
PHF-17?  The label fell of the last one I think it is a 17m whip antenna.
Or it may possibly be for 20m. 

All of these have 3/8 X 24 threads for mounting on your 
standard antenna mount.

I would like to sell these or trade for other amateur radio 
parts or equipment.
