[GreenKeys] Harris 200 transceiver w/ Harris gallon amp.

[KC0NNC at aol.com]

The interest in the Harris dooms day rig, seems overwhelming...

FYI... more background info...

I had purchased it about 25 years ago; always wanted to own a commercial full 
gallon, but simply have never had the time to devote to it.

Somehow I came up with a full factory manual for it, and my QTH has moved 
twice since purchasing it.  And I realize now, that within the balance of my life 
time (perhaps 20-25 years) I may not be able to allocate the time to put it 
into service.

It is stored in a borrowed 12 or 14 large animal goose neck horse trailer, 
which is packed to the gills with electronic equipment I felt I might have an 
eventual use for.

I guestimate it would take two guys a full day to empty this trailer, and 
reload the equipment into a more permanent box van style trailer which I own, and 
am not borrowing.

As another ham described, earlier...  This unit was apparently a complete 
communications package, but it deviates from his description slightly, as it 
seemed to be vertical antenna oriented, as I have not seen a log periodic beam, 
simply a fiber glass vertical.

Prior to my purchasing the unit someone ahead of me liberated the motorized 
remote mount vertical ATU. the unit seems to have low hours on it.  The manuals 
Harris printed indicate that the item is a 2 - 30 MHz capable rig, but is 
xtal controlled transmit and receive on 8 switch selectable frequencies of your 
desire. The tuning of each stage is by gang switch selected preset L/C tuning 
clusters.

I would guess that it was manufactured in the 70's.

I paid $1,000 for the outfit as I have described.  It was functional when 
purchased, and it did make power into a dummy load using the factory pre-tuned 
frequencies.

Were an interested individual to offer me my original investment in 
depreciated dollars, I would consider the offer seriously, otherwise I would consider a 
shared interest arrangement?

I recognize I will perhaps never [in the balance of my lifetime], have the 
quality time to spend on the item, but I would enjoy seeing it back on the air.  
So if someone with better time management capabilities than myself came 
forward with a sincere desire to get the item back on line... I am sure we could 
work something out.

I guess I would retain visiting rights, and occasional operating rights at 
his respective QTH.

73's guys and thanks for the interest.
