Kenwood HF Transceiver, Crystal Filters,
2 m transceiver, and Headphones For Sale:

.

Kenwood TS-520 S, HF Transceiver:

The Kenwood TS-520 S is designed for SSB and
CW modes in the 160 through 10 meter amateur
bands. It will also receive WWV at 15 MHz.
Other features include RIT, VOX, noise blanker,
and attenuator. This transceiver does not have
general coverage receive.

It requires 120 VAC at 280 watts.
13.3 x 6 x 14 inches; 35.2 lbs

Features:
160-10 meters
Noise Blanker
RF Attenuator
25 kHz Marker
RIT
Speech Processor
WWV Receive
120 VAC Operation

This particular unit looks good -- extremely
good if one considers its age!  The "carry
handle" is missing. Electrically, it works as
it should.  About 100 Watts out, depending
on band.

With paperwork for only $200 plus shipping
from Florida.  Due to its weight, pickup near
Ocala is much preferred.

.

InRad CW Filters:

Both of these CW filters are 400 Hz wide,
striking a good middle ground between 500
or 600 Hz filters, and 250 Hz filters.

In addition to CW, these can also be used
for narrow digital work.

These are InRad filters, which most people
consider superior to other filters.

These were both used in a Kenwood TS-940,
although I am fairly certain that they can
be used in most other Kenwood rigs, and
probably some non-Kenwood rigs as well.

Both work fine, and look great as well.

InRad 455 H 400
This one is used in the 455 KHz IF, and of
course is 400 Hz wide.  $125

InRad 88 H 400
This one is used on the 8800 KHz IF, and is
400 Hz wide as well.  $100

Buy both for $215.

.

Kenwood TM-281, 2 meter FM Transcevier:

The TM-281 is a current 2 meter 65 Watt FM
Mobile Transceiver with 200 memories and
weather alert. It complies with rugged military
standards, and has a front firing speaker that
sounds great. The built in CTCSS and DCS encoder
/decoder covers 42 CTCSS sub-tone frequencies
and 104 DCS sub-tone frequencies.

Features:
Power-on Message
Wide/Narrow Deviation Selection
1750 Hz Tone Burst
Automatic Simplex Checker
Reverse Function
Auto Repeater Offset
Beep On/Off
Auto Power Off
Time-Out Timer
Channel Display Mode
Busy Channel Lockout
Memory Channel Lockout
MR-shift
Direct Frequency Entry
Key Lock

This one works as it should.
Cosmetically it is excellent, but there is
some dirt behind the speaker that does not
want to come off.

It includes DTMF lighted microphone, mobile
bracket, power cord, and paperwork for only
$125 plus shipping from Florida.

.

Trio/Kenwood HS-5 Communications Headphones:

comfortable.

.

Linear Amp Switching Cables for Kenwood Rigs:

This cable goes from a Kenwood transceiver to a linear
amplifier to switch the amp from transmit to receive.

One end has a DIN connector, as is used with most Kenwood
rigs. The other end has an RCA phono plug, as used by most
linear amplifiers.

Before using this cable, please check the switching
capabilities of your transceiver, and the requirements
of your amplifier.

Cable for switching the T/R relay Only $15.

Cable with ALC control, in addition to T/R switching. $20

.

I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories,
etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.

.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
