[Elecraft] FS: Rare Classic Norcal Sierra

[Pete Meier]

Happy Holidays All,

I promised myself it was one radio I would never sell. However, as I get older it seems foolish for such a wonderful radio to sit unused year after year. So I pulled it out of storage and put it on the air the other day and it works like “yesteryear”. I had a nice QSO with an Oklahoma station who gave me a nice 559 from Colorado and said it sounded very nice.

It’s a true Norcal Sierra All Band Transceiver from 1996. I remember it was a labor of love putting it together and painting the case. I also remember working and reworking the case until it was as perfect as I could craft it. The radio puts out between 1.5 and 3 watts and has a hot receiver. I installed a bar-graph LED Smeter and Wayne’s variable crystal oscillator filter modification. It also includes the original KC-1 cw memory keyed and all the modules 10 through 160. Undoubtable the module could all use a good peaking and the 10 and 160 band modules are unbuilt. The case has nice snap-latches that allow for quick band module changes. The case is in excellent condition but the top and bottom have a few very minor paint nicks. Also included is the original 1996 manual and a reprint of it along with some modification documentation including the KC-1 information.

This is a rare radio and one I have treasured so my price is $350 for all.  Pictures can be sent if you are seriously interested.
