to test everything.  It looks extremely nice.  It is in its
original box, with paper work for $1100.

Icom IC-746, 160 thru 2 meter transceiver

The Icom IC-746 covers 160-10 meters plus 6 and 2 meters. 100
Watts of output is available on all bands - HF, 50 MHz and 144
MHz, making the IC-746 a practical choice for all-around base
station use. The die-cast aluminum chassis and a large cooling
fan help to stabilize the PA circuit, providing 100% full duty
cycle operation. It has 100 alphanumeric memories, spectrum
display, Twin PBT, CTCSS encode / decode, APF, two stage preamp,
keypad entry, automatic antenna tuner and electronic keyer.
DSP digitally transposes receive audio components in all modes
of operation to produce desired AF frequency characteristics at
the IF stage of the transceiver. This built-in DSP provides:
noise reduction, automatic notch filter and selectable APF. The
digital bar graph meter displays ALC, power output and SWR
simultaneously! The radio automatically selects from the three
separate antenna inputs (HF, 6 meters, 2 meters). A built-in
automatic antenna tuner operates on the HF bands plus 6 meters.
The rear panel has three antenna jacks. The 746 requires 12 VDC
at 20 amps.

Features include Spectrum Scope, 102 Memories, RIT/XIT, Noise
Blanker,  VOX Function, Selectable APF, Dual Display, 100 Watt
Output, 40 Watt Output (AM), Built-in Automatic Antenna Tuner

Antenna Jack, DSP Notch, 1 Hz Readout, Memory Keyer, RF
Attenuator 6/12/18 dB, and much more.

This particular unit works 100% as best I can tell.  It looks
very close to new, and is in its original box, with paper work
for $750.

Icom PS-30 Deluxe Power Supply

The Icom PS-30 power supply delivers 13.8 VDC at 25 amps. This
power supply features a meter which can be set to display amperage
or voltage. Four outputs are provided on the rear panel. Output 1
is a hard wired, high amperage cable with the Icom standard 6 pin
Molex plug. Outputs 2, 3 and 4 provide low amperage 13.8 VDC
output. This power supply has a snap-out tilt bracket.

This one works 100% and looks very nice.  With paper work for $185.

Kenwood TS-440 S / AT, 100 Watt HF transceiver:

The Kenwood TS-440S/AT was designed for superior performance
in the SSB, CW, AM, FM and AFSK modes. An automatic antenna
tuner is built in. Coverage is 160 through 10 meters including
the WARC bands with 100 watts (40W AM). It includes such
things as notch filter, individual selection of optional
crystal filters, digital readout, memories, scan capabilities,
IF shift, direct frequency entry from a keyboard, and many
other features. It requires 13 VDC at about 20 amps.

This particular TS-440 is in great condition. Electrically,
it functions 100%. There are no problems with the VCO and
PLL like plagues some of these units. Likewise the frequency
entry from the keyboard is clean and definite. Cosmetically,
it looks good.  With paper work for only $450.

Kenwood PS-430 power supply
This 20 amp, 13 V DC power supply matches TS- 140, TS-430,
TS-440, and others. It has the heavy 6 pin Kenwood power cable
plus an axillary 13 V DC output on back for running other shack
accessories.
This one works fine, and looks good.  With paper work for $100.

TenTec 585 Paragon HF Transceiver:

The Paragon is a top of the line transceiver that includes a
general coverage receiver. It covers 160-10 meters, including
WARC bands, with 100 watts output. The receiver is fantastic.
It has dual VFOs and many memories built in, along with a
speech processor. Basically, it has about every feature that
a ham could want in an HF rig.

This particular unit works 100% as best I can tell. Since the
rig does so many things, I am sure that there is something I
didn't test, but I don't know what it is (or I would have
tested it!). It has had all updates completed by TenTec.

Cosmetically, it is in extremely nice shape. The front panel
is extremely good. Most all of the lettering is clean and
crisp. This one also has the Giehl chip in it making it
similar to a Paragon II.

Large manual and power cord included for $650.

TenTec Power Supplies:

TenTec Model 280 power supply, 20 amps at 13 V DC
This supply is quite heavy duty electrically. It has 2 pass
transistors, instead of the one that some have. It also has an
ammeter on it.
This one works fine, and looks OK as well.
With paper work for $100.

"Switcher / 25" 25 amp switching power supply:
This is a 25 amp switching power supply in a case that
matches the early Omni series case, with the metal bezel
around it. It is in a case that is the same size as a 243
remote VFO. It has an ammeter on the front, along with
Switch, TenTec logo, and output bulb. The front panel
basically looks like a 280 power supply with a metal bezel,
but says "Switcher/25" on it. It is very quiet, and well
shielded, and does not produce any electrical noise that
I could find. $150

TenTec 238 Roller Inductor Antenna Tuner:

This HF antenna tuner will handle the full legal limit, and will
match almost anything. It is rated to match loads up to 3000 ohms.
TenTec
It is an "L" network, which means that there is only one correct
matching point, and not false readings like some tuners. It has a
roller inductor that permits matching all HF bands, including the
WARC bands.

In addition to the tuner, it also includes a wattmeter with 200
and 2000 watt scales, plus SWR bridge. There is also an antenna
switch built in, so this unit will handle all of your antenna
needs.

This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice. I can
not find a scratch or defect on it. With paper work for $395.

MFJ 989 C Roller Inductor Full Power HF Tuner:

This is the most popular legal limit antenna tuner. It
handles 1500 Watts from 1.8 to 30 MHz including MARS/WARC
bands.

You can match dipoles, verticals, inverted V's, random
wires, beams, balanced lines, coax, mobile whips,
shortwave -- nearly any antenna.

It includes a cross needle meter to read forward power,
reflected power, and SWR simultaneously. It will read
peak or average power. It also has a switched meter light,
if you supply 12 Volts to it.
An antenna switch is built in, as is a dummy load.

This one works 100% with absolutely no problems. It looks
extremely nice, with no scratches. It includes paper work,
and is in its original box.

MFJ sells these for just under $400. Buy this one for $230.

TenTec 705 desk microphone
This electret desk mic has the 4 pin connector, with PTT and
"hold" buttons. It works great, and looks like new.
With paper work for $75.

RCA equivalent to a Shure 444 desk microphone
Although the front of this mic says RCA on it, it looks like a
Shure 444, and has a controlled magnetic element in it just
like the Shure 444.  My assumption is that it is a 444 with an
RCA label.
Of course most of us know that the 444 is an extremely good
communications microphone with great articulation.
This one works fine, and looks very nice.  It has a 4 pin
connector on it. $50

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
