TenTec 229 HF antenna tuner:

This roller inductor tuner will handle full legal power.
It uses an "L" match instead of a "T" match, which means
there is only one spot that will give the correct match.
The "L" match is also more efficient. Electrically, it is
the same as the 238 series, 229 A, 229 B, and 4229.

There is also a built in wattmeter with full scale reading
of 200 and 2000 watts. It also has an SWR bridge with
lighted meter, plus a 4 position antenna switch.

It can be used on any HF frequency, including the WARC
bands, as it is continuously adjustable. It has a built
in internal balun, so open wire can be used.

Cosmetically, this unit is the color of the earlier Omni
series (Omni 546, series A, B, and C) with the black vinyl
covering, and nice aluminum trim around the front.

This particular unit functions 100%, and looks perfect.
I can not find a scratch on it.

Paper work is included for $325.

Deluxe Desk Microphone:

This is a great looking and great performing low impedance
desk mic. It has a quality Shure 600 ohm cartridge in it
(the cartridge alone is over $40 new), with a very nice
black die case base and neck, with a chrome grill. It
looks somewhat like a Shure 444, but no plastic on this
one -- all metal!

This one has stripped and tinned ends on it, which means
any connector can easily be added.

This one looks like new, and works the same. It has a
long (approx 6 foot) cord. $70

Yaesu "Landliner" SP-101 P Speaker and Phone Patch

This is a nice speaker that has a phone patch added
to it. Its styling matches the FT-101 line, but it looks
nice with most any rig. It has a VU meter on it, as well
as controls for both transmit and receive gain.
I realize many people do not use a phone patch much any
more, but even if you do not use the phone patch portion,
you still have an excellent speaker.

This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice
as well. It is in its original box.

With paper work for $90.

MFJ 1796 Halfwave Vertical Antenna:

The MFJ 1796 covers the 40, 20, 15, 10, 6, and 2 meter bands,
with no radials needed.

It is only 12 feet high and can be mounted anywhere -- ground
level to tower top -- apartments, small lots, trailers.
Perfect for vacations, field day, DXpedition, camping.

Efficient end-loading, with no lossy traps
Full size halfwave on 2 & 6 Meters
High power air-wound balun eliminates feedline radiation
Adjusting 1 band has minimum effect on others
Automatic band switching
Low radiation angle for great DX
Omnidirectional
Handles 1500 watts PEP
Low SWR
Stainless steel hardware

This antenna was used in a restricted community, and only
put outside when being used, so it is in terrific shape.
Paper work included.
These sell for about $300 new. Buy this one for only $175.
Pick up near Ocala FL, just off of I-75.

"Double Bazooka" Broadband HF Dipole Antennas:

These antennas are sometimes called "Double Bazooka" dipoles,
but also go by other names. They are made from RG-8 coax
instead of just wire. They are fed differently, with
both halves of the coax used. The result is an antenna
that is more broad banded than a regular wire dipole,
permitting one to cover all, or most, of a ham band with
a reasonable SWR. Of course these can be put into an
inverted V configuration as well. Some say these have
gain, and some say they do not.

I have antennas for two different bands:

40 meter antenna as described above (approx 66 feet long)
with about 25 feet of RG-8 coax feedline attached, terminated
in a PL-259 connector. $50

10 meter version, about 16 feet long. No feedline on this
one, but there is a place for you to attach your own coax.
$15

Doublet Antenna:

Doublet antenna consisting of about 110 feet of wire, with
center insulator, 2 end insulators, and 2 center supporting
insulators. This antenna is made to be fed with "open wire"
450 ohm transmission line, and used with an antenna tuner.
It should be able to tune from 80 thru 10 meters, with the
proper tuner. $20

Coaxial Cable "Jumpers" for your shack :

I have a good quantity of coaxial cable "jumpers" available.
These are short lengths of RG-8 coax, with a PL-259 connector
on both ends. I have a variety of lengths from under a foot
to about 5 feet long. Send me the lengths that you would
like, and I will see how close I can come.

Although most are RG-8 (the larger, approximately 0.4 inch
coax that takes full legal power), I also have some that
are RG-8 X (the medium coax approximately 1/4 inch in
diameter). Please ask for RG-8 X, if that is what you
would like.

All jumpers are $6 each, plus shipping from Florida.

Coaxial Lightning Arresters:

These lightning arresters are made to be inserted in to
your coaxial feedline, to help reduce lightning damage.

Cushcraft LAC-2
Still in the original blister pack, unused.
This one has an SO-239 (female UHF) connector on each end,
so that a PL-259 can be screwed into it. $15

Cushcraft LAC-1
No markings on this to confirm the model number, but it
looks like the Cushcraft "Blitz Bug".
It has an SO-239 on one end and a PL-259 on the other end
(female UHF on one end and male on the other). $10

This is the control box only for an Alliance HD-73 rotor.

to 7 watts, and has a 8 ohm impedance. It works fine,
sounds good, and looks nice. $18

This one is about 4 inches square but only about 2 inches
deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and

Cariole Headphones:

This is a nice pair of headphones of the type that
completely cover your ear. These are true monophonic
headphones, and not a pair of stereo headphones that
have been converted to mono. They have a molded mono
1/4 inch plug on them.

These work fine, and look extremely nice. $20

Heath HD-15 phone patch / digital interface:

This unit can be used to interface a sound card in a
PC to your transceiver. It was originally designed to
be used as a phone patch, but many have converted them
to a digital interface.

This is the unit with the VU meter on the left and 3 knobs
that match the SB series to the middle and right. Low or
high Z output to the transmitter. The meter makes it great
for setting levels.-This one is all original. It is in great condition.
Paper work included for $22.

I also have parts from a Heath HD-15 phone patch available.
This includes an audio transformer used for digital
interfacing, VU meter, and other parts. Outer cover and
knobs are gone. What do you need?

Linear Amp Switching Cable for Kenwood Rigs:

This cable goes from a Kenwood transceiver to a
linear amplifier to switch the amp from transmit
to receive.

One end has a DIN connector, as is used with most
Kenwood rigs. The other end has an RCA phono plug,
as used by most linear amplifiers.

Before using this cable, please check the switching
capabilities of your transceiver, and the requirements
of your amplifier.

This cable is for switching the relay. $15

Low Pass TVI Filters:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce
harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors, are 50
ohm filters, and include paper work.

Bencher YA-1, high power, low pass TVI filter
If you need a 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. This one works
great, and is in its original box.
Bencher currently sells these for about $90. Only $60.

Bencher YA-1
As above, but not in original box. $45

Drake TV-1000-LP Low pass TVI filter

meters, as well as HF. It is good for 1000 W "average" below
30MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. With paper work for $30.
