Icom 735 HF transceiver and other HF related items For Sale:

The IC-735 is a 100 watt radio covering 160-10 meters
(including WARC bands) with general coverage on receive.
The receiver tunes 100 kHz to 30 MHz continuously, and will
operate LSB, USB, CW, AM and FM.

The IC-735 features include dual digital VFOs, 12 programmable
memories, full QSK, RIT, speech compressor, and noise
blanker. The advanced triple conversion receiver section
includes passband tuning, notch, preamp and attenuator.

This radio works great. It produces 100 Watts, and receives
very well. It is extremely nice cosmetically, and even has the
little plastic door on the front panel which is often missing.

Included is the original Icom HM-12 microphone (which is in
very close to new condition), heavy duty power cord, and
instruction manual, in the original box. $400 

MFJ 941 E  Antenna tuner  For Sale:

MFJ 941 E antenna tuner for 160 thru 10 meters

This is the latest "E" version of this popular tuner.

This tuner has a "cross needle" SWR bridge built into it,
so you can read both forward power and SWR at the
same time. The meter has a back light, assuming 12 
Volts is applied to the tuner. The wattmeter portion will 
read either 30 W or 300 W full scale. 

An antenna switch will switch between either balanced line,
two coax antennas, or a dummy load. Antennas can be 
operated thru the tuner, or the tuner can be bypassed.

This tuner will operate on 160 thru 10 meters, including the
WARC bands.

This particular unit works 100%. It looks very close to new.
Almost like it just came out of its box; maybe that is because 
it is still in its original box.

Manual is included for $100

work (all half page of it!). $10

full scale power readings of 10, 100, and 1000 watts.
Two LARGE meters -- one reads forward power and one 
reads reflected power -- both at the same time. This gives 
the same info as some of the cross needle meters, but many 
people find it is easier to read.

to the meter itself.

boxes" being sold today.
