I have for sale two fine receivers, a RACAL RA6790/GM and a Watkins Johnson
WJ-8716. Both are .5 to 30 MHz CW, USB, LSB, AM, and FM. Both are 19" rack
mount. Both receive very well with my meager antennas.

Known issues: The RACAL works fine in all respects but one. When in the
S-meter mode all even the strongest signal has a very low reading. Moderate
and low signals have no reading. I have been told that this is an adjustment
on the A6 board.  The WJ works fine, however a few dot segments of the
digital readout require about 30 seconds to 1 minute to come on.

The RACAL has the computer control option installed.

I have the technical manual for the RACAL. I do not have any manual for the
WJ. Both units come with power cords.

Both units are clean and look good.

I am asking $1,650.00 for the pair plus shipping and handling from 20902
(The greater Washington DC area) Pickup or delivery can be arranged in the
greater DC area.

Payment is via US postal money order or cash. I will not ship outside the
CONUS.

I also have a Harris RF-551A Pre/Post Selector. This unit is very clean. I
have no idea if it works or not,  it does not have a power cable. Harris is
still in business and many surplus outlets sell this device so a cable and
manual should not be hard to find. I am asking $250.00. Payment and shipping
the same as above.

If you have any questions please email me at  mulie3 at comcast.net or call (on
your nickel) 301-963-2861.

Thanks, Marshall (WA3RIJ)
