Drake Items For Sale:

Case for Drake TR-33 C
This is the black case that fits the Drake TR-33 C, and has
cutouts in the back for antenna, power, etc.  It includes
the shoulder strap, and is in good shape.  $12

Case for Drake TR-22
As above, but for the TR-22. No shoulder strap. $10

3 pin mic plug for TR-22
This is the small 3 pin mic plug that fits the Drake TR-22
mic jack.  It is much smaller than most of the mic connectors.
I thought these were completely gone, but one appeared from
a silent key.  This one has been used, but should still be
usable some more.  $10

Drake TV-3300-LP Low Pass Filter
This is a modern low pass filter to go between your transmitter
and antenna, and 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, and
includes the paper work. $30


Microphones:

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 probably a bit stiffer than when it
was new. With PJ-068 connector (which also means that it will
fit any of the Drake rigs that require the 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 reluctance 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 very nice.  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

Generic Hand Microphone
This is a low impedance hand microphone, black in color.
With 4 pin connector. $25
With no connector. $22

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


Cable for straight key
About 3 feet long, with a mono 1/4 inch phone plug on it,
as is used with a straight key. $5
As above, but 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug. $5

Cable for paddles
About 3 feet long, and with a 1/4 inch stereo connector
on the end, like used by most rigs. $8
As above, but 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) plug $8


Wattmeters and SWR Bridges:


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


MFJ 815 B Cross Needle Wattmeter:

The MFJ-815B cross-needle meter allows you to monitor both
forward and reflected power, and SWR simultaneously. There
are buttons to select either Peak or Average reading and
power ranges of 200/2000 watts forward and 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.
The peak reading function of this meter and meter light
require external 12 V DC.

This particular unit works fine, and looks very close to new.
With paper work for $65.

MFJ 815 (not the B model) similar to above.
It works fine, and looks good. With paper work for $50.


SWR Bridges:

Dual Meter SWR Bridges:

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 are from 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.

Swan SWR-1
This one is in its original box, but the meter itself says
Siltronix on it. The original instruction sheet has both
Swan and Siltronix on it. This item was purchase earlier,
but the "package smashers" got to it, and the right edge
of the meter on the right side has a portion of the lens
broken off.  The meter still functions fine. $30

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


Single meter SWR Bridges / Field Strength Meters:

Midland 23-126 Single Meter 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. I do not see
any scratches on it; it may not have ever been used. In its
original box with original instructions and small telescoping
antenna. $32

ThordTest SWFS-2 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
Appears to be the same as the Midland above, but the outer case
is beige instead of black.
In original box, with original instruction sheet, and antenna.
$30


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 Cable with Type "N" Connectors:
This cable is made of RG-8 coax and is about 6 feet long.
It has a male type "N" connector on each end. $15


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 - $4

BNC 90 degree - female to male - $3

BNC "T" - two female and one male - $4

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


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
