[HoustonHam] For sale

[cboone at earthlink.net]

Its time to empty the storage place...

I cannot list all the equipment, antennas and cable here but will do so on my Earthlink home site and post that URL ASAP. In the meantime here is a partial listing of what is up for sale...EVERYTHING must go...or its off the scrap yard and I would hate to see that happen...like something you see, make an offer... Note MOST items will be PICKUP only in the Beaumont area. Some gear is capable of being mailed/shipped and will be noted (shipping charges are not included in the pricing). Also can meet you half way on shippable items if you prefer for a smaller costs.

Heliax:
LOTS of 7/8 and 1/2 inch foam (LDF)...some have connectors already on it, others are cut ends...I DO have connectors also available but have not yet had a chance to inventory it all...I do know I have one run ~440 ft of 7/8 LDF and another run or two at 150+ ft. The 1/2 consists of various lengths...some regular 1/2in and other 1/2in Superflex and one run over 150 of 1/2in Plenum rated (Blue jacketed and legal for indoor runs in overhead suspended ceilings, etc without conduit). Pricing is ~$2.50/ft on the 7/8 in and $1.25 ft on LDF 1/2 and $1.5 on the Plenum rated 1/2in.
I also have ~500 ft of 1/2 in Aluminum CATV cable....works great at UHF even in 50ohm systems....on a reel and ready to be moved....will take $150 for the entire 75ohm spool. No connectors but they can be easy made from brass hardware parts and PL 259s/PL258s (Also commercial AL connectors available but they are $20 a piece)

Antennas:
A number of DB201 lowband ground planes (great for 6m)...Solid AL and DC grounded folded monopole vertical radiator. These things can take a direct lightning hit and keep on working.....currently on 47/48MHz so easy to trim up to the 6m band. $50 each
DB 408 UHF repeater antenna....in mint condition. $100
DB 420 UHF repeater antennas...in excellent shape $200
Also have a HF triband beam (Telex or Hygain)....I think its 5 element. Some minor parts are missing due to too many moves and iirc, it was missing one or two when I got it...they are still available from the manufacturer. I paid $175 for this antenna and never got a chance to put it in the air. $125
DB Products DB365 antenna clamps..galvanized HEAVY brackets..some are clean, others have some minor rust on them...spray some cold  galvanize on them and they will be fine...2 brackets (1 pair) for $20 plus shipping..these are what commercial VHF/UHF antennas use.
60feet of Rohn 25G with guy wires/hardware and a Cushcraft A3 antenna....currently in NW Houston area...tower needs to be taken down by buyer. Includes rotor and coax to antenna. $300 for all of it.

Gear:
ICOM IC706MKII HF-2m mobile rig....have remote mount bracket, cable, etc....radio in excellent shape...also have optional 16 button DTMF mic. $500 for all plus shipping

Kenwood TKR-750V2 VHF rptr with internal power supply. Unit is currently programmed in the 2m band. can cover 136-174 iirc. Will program and tune to your requirements for additional $20. Asking $800 firm on this unit.

Have several Midland commercial radios (lowband, VHF and UHF)...Syntech Is, IIs and XTRs...various models, etc..will post the inventory ASAP..one model is the 70-530B UHF...can cover down to 430MHz, 80channel capable, and I can program them. 30-35W out and excellent rcvrs...can be used as 9600 baud packet rigs (direct FM models)...or link radios, dedicated packet rigs, etc. $25 plus shipping. They include mic, power cable and mobile underdash mount bracket.

Heathkit Warrior HF amplifier....4 811s....works great (it has been tested). Needs an external TR relay for use with transceivers...does about 1200 out with 100w drive. $300
National NC 300 with external spkr and converters for 6,2 and 220 MHz (which are rare and mount in the spkr enclosure) I have not had a chance to check it out..so $100 gets it as is.
Several GE MVP radios...UHF models and one 406-420 model. Can be duplexed in the box as a nice small rptr or can be modified for 9600 baud packet (have to make a minor mod on the exciter to FM it instead of using the normal PM input)
$25 each plus shipping
Have matching power supplies for the MVPs as well..not recommended for continuous duty..but fine for packet use, etc.
$20 plus shipping

Various other UHF/VHF gear (repeater parts, duplexers, amplifiers, etc) and antennas, etc...which will make it to the web site posting ASAP..Also have some non radio gear for sale such as some 3000VA UPSs....need new batteries and these are rack mount models....commercial grade...$300 each..will provide more info on the web site posting.

I probably have a lot more that needs to be posted (like the GE MSTR II UHF and VHF repeaters as well as a 100w VHF Micor station with PS)..also lots of mobile antennas (couple of Hustler HF as well as a number of VHF/UHF mobile antennas). Not looking for trades.....this stuff needs to go and I dont need other gear...

If you wish to pick up the weekend of the Orange hamfest, I can meet you..I am NOT attending the hamfest but will make time to meet you in Beaumont for gear pickup...Heliax pickup will be done at the storage site (I will provide directions).

All sales will be final. CASH preferred.........(or cashier's check or MO)....I have been burned by personal checks in the past...sorry
