Rotor Control, Communications speakers, Active Audio
Filter, Antenna Tuners, Noise Filter/Surge Supressors,
Low Pass TVI Filters, Reference Books, Coax Switches
and Connectors, etc.


Pair of 6JS6 Tubes:
These are NOS (New, but old stock) RCA 6JS6C tubes.
They were originally used for spares for a Yaesu FT-101,
but were never used. Of course they can be used in other
rigs as well. $50


Bencher BY-1 Iambic Paddle:
The Bencher Paddle is what others are judged by!
The BY-1 has a very heavy black base with chrome parts,
and includes gold-plated solid silver contract points.
This one works fine and looks really great.
No scratches or defects.  With paper work for $70.


HyGain DCU-1 Deluxe Digital Rotor Control Box:

The innovative DCU-1 Pathfinder Digital Rotor control unit
gives you automatic operation of your brake and rotor. It
has computer control with RS-232 pass through and is compatible
with many logging and contest programs as well. It has 6 presets
for your favorite beam settings, 1 degree heading accuracy,
automatic 8-second brake delay, and 360 degree choice for
center of rotation. It operates at 110V.

The DCU-1 digital rotor control unit is compatible with the
T-2X, HAM-IV, and HAM-V families of rotators.

This unit works fine and looks fine as well.
Paper work is included for $450.


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


Variable Active Audio Filter:

The Prime PR-1000 basically functions the same as an Autek
QF-1 audio filter, meaning that it can either notch, peak,
or act as a low pass filter. The frequency of the notch,
peak, or low pass is adjustable, as is the width. This
filter inserts between the receiver (or transceiver) audio
output, and the speaker. It is powered by 110 V AC, and
has a very long (about 8 feet) power cord.

This particular unit works fine. It appears that it is
probably new, in that I can find no cosmetic defects, and
it is still in its original box, with the paper work. $45


Antenna Tuners:

All of these tuners are good for a 100 W HF rig. Although
they might be rated to take slightly more power (200 or
300 watts), they are not suitable for use with an amplifier.
All include a built in balun.

TenTec 291 Tuner
This is a "T" network tuner that uses a 47 tap rotary
inductor which permits almost infinite adjustment.
This one works fine and looks like new.
With paper work for $70.

Dentron "Jr Monitor" Tuner
Covers 160 thru 10 meters, and includes a relative RF
output meter.
This one works fine and looks great.
With paper work for $ 60


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

Drake TV-5200-LP
This filter may also be used on the low end of six meters,
as well as HF. It is good for 1000 Watts "average" below
30MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. It is the newer version
of the TV-1000. $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 B
With Center position that grounds both antennas. $18

MFJ 1702 C
As 1702 B, but with 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.
