[ForSale-Swap] For Sale: Complete 10 GHz System - List #4 (UPDATE as of 6-27-22) (Figured out how it can be shipped)

[Bob Kocisko]

Since I’ve had interest in my complete 10 GHz system that would NOT be local pickup, I took another look at it & figured out how it could be safely packed & shipped.  The feed can be removed by sliding it out of a slotted piece of CU pipe which is held in place by a hose clamp.  This allows the feed to be adjusted for proper focusing.  The dish can be unscrewed (4 screws).  Then the RF deck (everything in the AL box) can be unbolted from the brackets on the steel mast.  So by NOT shipping the vy heavy steel mast & base plate or the tripod, the entire system can be shipped in 3 boxes.  The IF board packed in one box, the dish & feed bubble wrapped separately in another box & the AL box RF deck w/ the EL motor & screw in a 3rd box.  

So if someone wants the entire system w/o the tripod or steel mast & baseplate, I’ll substitute the separate feed & WG relay/switch in #6 all for $1,500 + packing, shipping & insurance.  or, just the 2 boxes with the RF deck (dish & feed for it + the AL cabinet w/ RF deck) for $900 + packing, shipping & insurance.

Updated idea.  My preference as stated is to sell the complete system as stated in #4 below with pickup only.  I know this will severely limit my market.  I’ve had requests for the Kuhne xvtr but rather than piece it out, I would consider selling just the RF deck (items #2 & #2 below) by removing the AL box w/ the small dish fm the steel post & stand.  I would hv to bubble wrap the heck out of it & take it to either a FedEx or UPS shipper to professionally pack it in a heavy duty box with lots of peanuts particularly to protect the dish & feed.  This could be shipped if a big enough box is available.  Cost for this would be $900 + actual packing, shipping & insurance.  If anyone could be interested in this approach let me know & agn photos are available.

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.  Also hv steel mounting mast & actuator.  $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).

Tnx for looking & 73,
