[ForSale-Swap] For Sale: Complete 10 GHz System - List #4

[Bob Kocisko]

As part of the liquidation of my 10 GHz terrestrial & EME equipment, the following complete 10 GHz system is offered for sale.  This is a “quasi-portable” system that I purchased fm K7NII’s estate in 2015.  My original plan was to use all of the components & purchase a 30-60 W SSPA for 3 cm EME using a separate 4 ft solid Andrew dish & feed.  Due to the difficulty & cost of trying to pack & ship my preference is to sell the entire system & hv it picked up at my QTH which is just north of Prescott, AZ.  If needed, I’ll disassemble it & sell off the smaller items piecewise.  Prices are OBO + shipping where possible.  Photos available on request.  Included are:

1.  IF consists of Yaesu FT-817ND (hv original box & manual but no mic) which is mounted on a board w/ a 10 MHz osc, JWM Engineering Model 5112 phase locked oscillator & straight key for CW.  All were purchased new in 2006.

2.  Homebrew (HB) AL box mounted on a heavy steel mast & baseplate.  Also hv a tripod included but not sure if it’s heavy enough.  A “gold” surface 67 cm (26.5”) dish (f/D of 0.435) is mounted to the cabinet including a HB CU pipe “shepherds crook” feed.  An extra CU pipe feed is included w/ drawing showing dimensions.  An EL motor & screw are mounted on the cabinet & a HB EL pwr supply is included.

3. Inside the cabinet is a SMA TR relay, sequencer (DEM?) & a Kuhne MKU 10 G2 xvtr (144 MHz IF) which was purchased new in 2006.  There also is a small PA mounted (unknown mfg & documentation states it’s 1.6 W out).  There is no LNA or pwr supply other than for EL.  Whatever documentation & notes I hv will be included.  

4.  Everything in #1, #2 & #3 above are offered as a complete pkg for $1,500 w/ pickup only.  (For anyone interested, I can show you an itemized breakdown & how I arrived at this price).

5.  Hv a 4 ft solid Andrew dish which I will sell separately.  Notes in file say it’s a Type D4C-21, T112R w/ f/D of 0.387 & 38 dB gain.  $100 (pick up only).

6.  Also hv a HB 10 GHz CU pipe chaparral feed w/ WR90 WG 28 VDC switch.  Switch is a Dynatech / U-Z Inc model X1-2A2-2 w/ a matching plug.  $100 (will sell separately & can ship).
