It is intended for use with CW, AM, FM, and TV modulation. It measures power from 100 mw to 10KW, depending on the element used. The meter provides direct readings in watts with an expanded scale for easy reading. The scale is graduated for 25, 50, and 100 full scale. Elements are available in a variety of power, and frequency ranges. This particular meter is model 4300.21 manufactured in March 1957, so it is the older, well constructed model. It has "N" connectors, with the leather handle, which is in good shape. The meter works well. $175 Large 150 Volt 3.5 inch Analog Meter: Weston Model 1931, 150 Volt DC Meter This meter is a large 3.5 inch analog 150 Volt DC meter, and is the meter only. It is new, in its original box, with hardware. $20 Dentron Super Super Tuner High Power Antenna Tuner: Dentron made a very heavy duty antenna tuner. It covers from 160 meters thru 10 meters continuously, including the WARC bands, and includes a balun that is also very heavy duty. This is one of the most rugged tuners available. The super super tuner is rated at 3000 Watts and a real brute. I don't think there is a heavier one made! Unless you are running far more than legal power, you do not need to worry about this one! This one works fine and looks extremely nice. At first glance, you would think it was new, but there are a couple of very light scratches that can be seen if the light is just right. With paper work for $225. Communications Speakers: Realistic 21-549 A This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono plug, as used by most modern rigs. Gimbal mount included. It is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $12 Vanco SPB-5 Appears to be the same at above, but with a Vanco label. Also includes gimbal mount. $12 Vanco SPB-6 Similar to SPB-5 above, but is considered a noise cancelling speaker. 10 Watt rating. Still in original box, new. $18 APC "Pro 7" Noise Filter and Surge Suppressor: This unit has 7 outlets, with a 6 foot cord, and provides surge suppressor for your equipment. It also provides noise filtering / EMI / RFI suppression of 60 db. There is $75,000 worth of insurance included. It comes with a lifetime warranty, and I think this is APC's "Top of the line" unit. Detailed specs can be found at http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=PRO7 This one appears to be new, unused, in its original box. Only $18. Noise Filter and Surge Suppressor: This unit is still in its Radio Shack (#61-2327) box, never used. It says it is for a notebook computer, but it can be used with anything. It has connections for a computer network (LAN, RJ-45 connector), the AC power, and for phone lines (RJ-11 connector), and provides noise filtering and surge suppression on each. It even includes $25,000 insurance against surges. Maximum power rating is 1875 Watts, or 15 amps. Noise filtering is listed at 40 db. This unit is new, in its original box, with its original paper work. $15 Low Pass TVI Filters: A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors and are 50 ohm filters. Johnson 250-20 This cylindrical low pass filter has a cut off frequency of 45 MHz and 75 db of attenuation, and is adjustable. Rated at 1000 Watts AM, or 5000 Watts PEP SSB. $30 With mounting bracket, $35. B & W 425 (same as FL-10/1500) Cuts off just above 10 meters, and handles 1500 Watts. Newer case style, $30. Older, heavier copper style case, painted gray. $35 Para Dynamics PDC 1089 This filter is rated at a full Kilowatt, up to 30 MHz. 5 x 6 x 2 inch black box, instead of the long enclosure. $25 Reference Books: Reference Data for Radio Engineers: This book published by Sams/ITT is similar to an ARRL Handbook, but in more depth and detail. This book is loaded with tables and charts necessary in communications. Excellent resource book when looking for data, from the acoustic spectrum to radio wave propagation. Sixth Edition printed in 1978. This one is hardback, and it is in excellent condition, close to new. The cover does not even appear to be worn. Only $70. Terman Classic Engineering Book: Radio Engineering by Terman McGraw Hill Electrical and Electronic Engineering Series Third Edition, 1947 - close to new condition Hard bound - $28 B & W Coaxial Antenna Switches: All have SO-239 connectors, and will handle full legal power. B & W Model 550 A coax switch This model will switch up to 5 antennas, and does NOT ground unused antennas. It has the coax coming out the sides like spokes of a wheel. This one works fine and looks fine as well. $40 Two position "Strip Line" Coax Switches: These switches utilize professionally engineered all metal cavity construction for maximum efficiency and high isolation. Isolation is typically better than 50 dB at 300 MHz with insertion loss less than 0.2 dB. All are two position and use SO-239 connectors, are 50 ohm impedance, are typically rated for 2.5 KW PEP, and good to 600 MHz. All work fine and look extremely nice. Diawa CS-201 - $22 Opek CX-201 - $22 MFJ 1702 C - With center position that grounds both antennas, and added lightning protection. $25 Coaxial Cable with "N" Connectors: This cable has a male "N" connector on each end. It is about 60 feet long. The coax is labeled 50-2 V, which is slightly larger in diameter than RG-8 X, but not quite as large as RG-8. This piece is in extremely good condition, with heat shrink around the connectors for strain relief. $35 Coax connectors and adapters: Prices are per connector. Several of each are available. Most are unused. SPECIAL: Buy 5 and take 10% off. Buy 10 or more and take 20% off. I also have a variety of "N" connectors available. What do you need?
