[Icom] PW-1 For Sale

[WA9ALS - John]

I have decided to put my Icom PW-1 up for sale.  This was purchased from R&L
Electronics on Oct. 18, 2001 in Hamilton, Ohio.  I brought it home near
Indianapolis via auto (not shipped).  I performed the 10M mod without
difficulty.  It was put into use right away in a nonsmoking household.  I
beleive it to be in perfect condition.  It's on a low shelf, and I haven't
brought it out for a super-close inspection lately, but it's only been
moved a couple of times.  The control head is remoted, but the head can be
restored to the main unit if desired.

Someone will ask why I want to sell it.  The easiest answer for mass
consumption is just that my interests, work responsibilities, and cash flow
have all shifted such that I no longer want to have this much money tied up
in an amplifier that I am not using much these days.

I shouldn't have to extol the virtues of this amp to the readers of this
list.  Used with a suitable Icom exciter, this amp changes your
rig into a 1000 watt transceiver.  Everything is automatic, and remember, it
also has an automatic antenna tuner and 4-antenna switch.  Thus, plug in
several antennas, and you're good to go on all bands with the touch of a
bandswitch or a click of a bandmap.

I have used it mostly on RTTY.  It runs -literally- cool to the touch, hour
after hour at 1000W RTTY!

As they say, Serious Inquiries Only.  For seriously interested prospective
buyers, I will take photos if necessary and work with you on transportation.
I would be a little nervous shipping this 56 pounds of awesome electronics,
but I do have the original cartons.  If you plan to be in Dayton, I could
bring it with me and consummate the deal there.

SN 01310;  I paid $4,845.95, and I see R&L still has it at that price.  I'd
like to see around $3850.  I'm not sure what response I will get to this
announcement,
but will likely be interested in the most attractive overall proposal.

Anyone interested in discussing this further?  Tnx bandwidth!  73 - John,
