Message-ID: <4D71FF12.20295.B89243@bcarling.cfl.rr.com>

FOR SALE: Drake TR3 Transceiver

The R. L. Drake model TR-3 is an SSB-CW-AM transceiver designed for 
the transmission and reception of upper and lower sideband signals on the 
80 through 10 meter amateur bands. AM and CW capabilities are included. 

Ideal for both fixed station use in conjunction with the model AC-3 or AC4 
120 volt AC Power Supply, or for mobile installations using the  DC-3 or 
DC4 12 volt DC Power Supply. 

The 300 watt PEP input on SSB enables the TR-3 to give an excellent 
account of itself barefoot and it will drive the highest powered ham linear 
amplifiers. 

Upper and lower sideband selection is accomplished by switching between 
two Drake designed and manufactured 9 MC crystal lattice filters with 2.1 kc 
pass-bands. Among the other features included on the TR-3 are VOX and 
PTT, shifted carrier CW, separate RF and AF gain controls, linear 
permeability tuned VFO with vernier scale, transmitting and receiving AGC, 
and separate receiver S-meter and transmitter plate ammeter. The addition 
of the accessory RV- 3 remote VFO speaker combination enables the 
operator to receive, transmit or transceive throughout the band being used 
without disturbing the setting of the TR-3 tuning dial. This is useful for 
working DX stations operating outside the United States Phone Bands, or 
for working near your own frequency in search of a clear spot under 
crowded band conditions.

FREQUENCY COVERAGE: Full coverage on all amateur bands 10 thru 80 
meters, in seven 600 k c ranges ; 3.5-4.1 mc, 7.0 to 7.6 mc, 13.9 to 14.5 
mc, 21 to 21.6 mc, 28 to 28.6 mc, 28.5 to 29.1 mc, 29.1 to 29.7 mc.
bullet	LINEAR PERMEABILITY TUNED VFO: Tunes 4.9 to 5.5 mc for all 
ranges, 9 mc I.F. minus VFO range overs 80 meters, 9 mc I. F. plus VFO 
range covers 20 meters. VFO and crystal oscillator heterodyned in premixer 
for 40, 15, and three 10 meter ranges.
bullet	
DIAL CALIBRATION: 10 kc divisions on main tuning dial and interpolation to 
1 kc on tuning knob skirt . Effective length of circular dial scale is over 14 
inches.
bullet	
FREQUENCY STABILITY: High stability permeability tuned VFO tunes 
same range on all bands . Drift is less than 100 cycles after warm-up, and 
less than 100 cycles for plus or minus 10% line voltage change.
bullet	
	FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: 
bullet	Main Tuning has fluted knob with adjustable 25 division skirt. Tunes 
VFO and rotates main dial. 
bullet	RF Tune tunes the RF circuit common to receiver RF amplifier and 
transmitter driver stages. 0-10 scale. 
bullet	Plate and Load tuning adjust pi-network capacitors in transmitter for 
proper resonance and loading on each band. 
bullet	Band switch selects desired ham band (see frequency coverage). 
bullet	Function switch has four positions CAL, SSB, X-CW, X-AM. CAL 
operates built-in 100 kc crystal calibrator for accurate setting of main tuning 
hair line indicator and knob skirt SSB provides SSB operation, either VOX or 
PTT, and is receive position for SSB, CW, and AM. X-CW (transmit CW) 
inserts carrier , converts `Xmtr Gain? control to carrier injection for tuning 
and CW transmitting. X-AM (transmit AM) inserts carrier and screen 
modulator for AM transmitting. 
bullet	XMTR GAIN functions as mike audio gain on SSB and AM, and as 
carrier injection control on X-CW for tune and CW. 
bullet	RCVR GAIN knob controls receiver AF gain and power ON-OFF 
switch. Lever behind knob controls setting of RF gain. 
bullet	Sideband switch in conjunction with indicator lights marked Upper 
and lower selects desired sideband by connecting into the circuit either the 
upper or lower sideband filter.

There is no power supply with this radio.

HF Antenna related items For Sale -- Vertical antennas,
SWR Bridges, Legal Limit Balun, Low Pass TVI Filters,
Connectors and more


Gap "Titan DX" HF Vertical Antenna:

The Titan is an 8 Band Multiband DX Antenna. It covers 80
thru 10 meters, including the WARC bands. It covers the
entire band on 40 thru 10, and about 100 KHz on 75/80 meters.
It is about 25 feet tall, and includes a counterpoise, so
that no radials are required.

One of the primary virtues of the Titan is the GAP center
feed. By elevating the feed the earth loss is dramatically
decreased, which means the RF is going out to make the contact
instead of into the ground to warm the earth. Reducing the
earth loss eliminates the need for a radial system. The
Titan requires NO RADIALS.

This particular antenna is in extremely nice shape with no
corrosion. Most of the aluminum is still shiny.

These sell new for about $400. This one is close to new,
with paper work for $250. Pick up only near Ocala FL, just
off of I-75.


Hustler 4BTV "Base station" HF vertical antenna

The 4BTV covers 10, 15, 20, and 40 meters.
It can also cover 75/80 meters by using an RM-80 S resonator.

This one is in extremely good shape. It actually still shines!
No corrosion evident. Penetrox was used on the original
assembly, so it comes apart easily.

Paper work is included. but connection points are well marked
for easy reconstruction. $120

I would prefer pickup near Ocala, Florida, just off of I-75.
It will easily fit inside a minivan, or it can be broken down
more to go inside a car. It is possible to ship it, but the
cost is high due to it being oversize. Obviously, shipping
is not included in the price.


SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter:

Royce 2-100 Single Meter SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter

With SO-239 connectors, it covers from 3 to 150 MHz,
covering HF, 6 meters, and 2 meters, so is ideal for the new
rigs with 6 meters and 2 meters in them.

This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it, but it does have a previous owners name
on it. In its original box with original instructions. $32


Dual Meter SWR Bridges:

Both of these feature 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. They were made in Japan, and labeled with various
names, including Swan, Siltronix, and Quement. Both have SO-239
connectors on each end, and work fine.

Both will work on HF, and VHF, covering 3 to 150 MHz, so are
ideal for the new rigs that include 6 and 2 meters.

Quement SWB-2
No box for this one, but it works fine and looks great.
With paper work for $40.

Siltronix SWR-2
This meter functions fine, but the meter lens of the meter that
reads SWR has a crack on the very right edge of it. Strictly
cosmetic. $25


Heavy Duty Legal Limit Plus Balun:

HyGain BN-4000 Balun

A balun is used to convert an unbalanced load such as coax
to a balanced load such as a beam or dipole. It will also
help reduce radiation from the coax feedline, that could
reduce TVI and other interference.

The BN-4000 D is a 1 to 1 ratio broadband 50 Ohm current balun,
and is potted to seal out moisture. It is rated at 4000 Watts
for increased power handling capabilities. Frequency range
is 1 MHz to 54 MHz. It has stainless steel hardware and comes
with a SO-239 connector.

This particular unit works fine and looks really great. It
would appear that it has not been used. All connections are
clean and shiny; the case also shines.

Paper work is included for $80.


Low Pass TVI Filters:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce
harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors and include
paper work.

Drake TV-3300
This is a modern low pass filter 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. $30

B & W FL-10/1500
This filter cuts off just above 10 meters, and handles 1500
Watts. It is the latest model B&W filter.
It looks very close to new. $40.


Coax connectors and adapters For Sale:

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

"N" Connector - Double Male - $8

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

square mount (uses 4 screws) - $3
