19 inch Relay Rack Shelves For Sale:

This black shelf in made to fit a standard 19 inch relay rack.
The shelf itself is 17 5/8 inches wide (standard width for
inside of the rack) by 18 inches.  It attaches to the rack so
that 4 inches of it extends in front of the rack and 14 inches
behind the rack (or you could reverse it for 14 inches in front
and 4 behind).  It has vent holes so that equipment that is set
on it can get some air.  It requires 4 inches of rack space.

It is similar to one seen here
http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=8487
or
http://www.rackmounts.com/Middle-Atlantic-U2MS-DF2984.html
except 4 inches of it extends past the mounting point.

These are in extremely good condition.  I can not find a scratch
on them. They look new.  Two are available.  Buy one for $35,
or both together for $65.

Other boat anchor items:

Collins MM-1 Mobile Microphone
The Collins MM-1 is a pressure-operated dynamic microphone
designed to fit your hand comfortably. This mike is engineered
for maximum voice response, and its die-cast case is finished
in brushed satin chrome. With its mounting button on the front,
the MM-1 slips easily into a dashboard bracket supplied with
the mike. When the MM-1 is removed from the dashboard bracket,
the microphone is in position for instant transmission. A coiled
cord is supplied with the 22-ounce microphone. The MM-1 has a
frequency response from 200-10,000 cycles per second and has an
output level of -48 db.
This one works fine; there are a couple extremely small pits
(smaller than a pin head) on the chrome, but it looks very
good. The coiled cord is a bit stiffer than when it was new.
With PJ-068 connector (0.206 inch plug) for $100.

RCA equivalent to a Shure 444 desk microphone
Although the front of this mic says RCA on it, it looks like a
Shure 444, and has a controlled magnetic element in it just
like the Shure 444.  My assumption is that it is a 444 with an
RCA label.
Of course most of us know that the 444 is an extremely good
communications microphone with great articulation.
This one works fine, and looks fine.  It has a 4 pin connector
on it. $50

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

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

Wattmeters and SWR Bridges:

MFJ 815 Cross Needle Wattmeter
The MFJ-815 cross-needle meter allows you to monitor both
forward and reflected power, and SWR simultaneously. There
are buttons to select power ranges of 20/200/2000 watts
forward and 5/50/500 watts reflected.
Frequency coverage is 1.8 to 60 MHz, so it covers 6 meters
in addition to the HF bands, making it ideal for some of
the new rigs that include 6 meters.
There is a meter light that requires a source of 12 V DC.
This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely good.
With paper work for $50.

HF Digital Peak and Average Reading Wattmeter
Radio Shack MTA-20 (21-527) Digital Wattmeter will read either
peak or average power. It is a digital meter with no moving
parts, although it does have a sort of analog bar graph on it.
It is rated to cover 1.8 thru 30 MHz, so it covers all of the
HF bands. It will measure up to 2000 Watts, in ranges of 2000,
200, or 20. It will also indicate SWR, which requires at least
1/2 Watt. It has a nice back light, and requires 13 V DC for
operation. There is about a 3 foot cable between the digital
display and the remote sensor. This is a great meter.
This particular meter is in its original box, and appears to
not have been used. It has been tested, and works fine. $100

SWR Bridges:

Quement SWB-2 Dual Meter
This unit features two separate meters -- one for reading forward
power and another for reading SWR. This permits one to easily
monitor both the power going out, and the SWR on the antenna.
It has SO-239 connectors on each end.
It will work on HF, and VHF, covering 3 to 150 MHz, so is
ideal for the new rigs that include 6 and 2 meters.
Works fine and looks great. With paper work for $40

ThordTest SWFS-2 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
This is an HF SWR Bridge, but it can be used up thru 2 meters,
with slightly reduced accuracy. It is also a field strength
meter. SO-239 connectors.
This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. It is in original
box, with original instruction sheet, and antenna. $30

HyGain 18 HT HyTower HF Vertical Antenna:

The HyGain HyTower HF vertical covers 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10
meters. The WARC bands (and 160 meters) can be added, but
are not a part of this antenna at present. This is an extremely
rugged antenna, consisting of about 30 feet of actual tower,
with additional stubs for tuning.

Automatic band selection is achieved through a unique stub
decoupling system so that an electrical 1/4 wavelength (or
odd multiple) exists on all bands. Unity gain on 20, 40, 80;
2 dB on 10 and 15 Meters.

This particular antenna is in extremely good condition. It has
stainless steel hardware. The galvanizing on the tower is very
good. As far as I know all hardware is included. The base
insulators are new.

Due to size, this is pick up only, near Ocala FL, close to I-75.

This antenna sells for about $1000 new. With paper work for $450.

Lightning Protectors:

"Blitz Bug" Lighting protectors
These are not as sophisticated as the Polyphaser below,
but still protect against lightning. Two versions are
available. One has an SO-239 connector on each end.
The other has a PL-259 on one end and an SO-239 on
the other end. Take your choice for $8 each.

Polyphaser IS-VU50HN-MA Lightning Protector

Polyphaser is well know for extremely good lightning
protection equipment. This coaxial antenna protector
is designed to be inserted in the coaxial cable at the
bottom of a tower.
This unit has two SO-239 connectors, and is rated to take
750 Watts from 50 to 300 MHz and from 380 to 550 MHz.

This particular unit includes the spec sheet, and appears
that it might not have been used. It is not oxidized,
or corroded. $55.

Coax connectors and adapters:

Prices are per connector. Several of each are available.
These are NOS (have not been used).

BNC male for coax cable
standard type - $2
crimp on type - $3

Chassis mount BNC female
square mount (uses 4 screws) - $3
screw in type - $3

BNC "T" - two female and one male - $3

Antenna adapter to fit the BNC connector on the HT
and provide an SO-239 connector that will permit
a PL-259 to be attached. (BNC male to UHF female) $5

UHF Male (PL-259) to BNC female (opposite of above) $5
-
UHF double female "Barrel connector" (two SO-239 together) $3

UHF "T" connector with two female (SO-239) and one male
(PL-259) connection - $5

Antenna adapter for Kenwood TH-21/31/41 HTs
Adapts the antenna connector found on these HTs to a
standard PL-259 connector. $8

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
