Cables to connect transceiver to TNC

MFJ 5024 - connects Icom, Yaesu, and other HTs that 
use the 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm plug to a TNC that uses a 
5 pin DIN plug, such as the MFJ 1214. 1270 B, 1270 BT, 
1271, 1274, 1274 T, 1278, 1278 T, and others, as well 
as TNC-2s.  This one is still in its original plastic bag, 
with paper work, for $12.

MFJ-5084 - connects most Icom radios that use the round 
8 pin mic plug to a TNC that uses a 5 pin DIN plug, such as 
the MFJ 1214. 1270 B, 1270 BT, 1271, 1274, 1274 T, 
1278, 1278 T, and others, as well as the TNC-2s.  With 
paper work (what little there is of it) for $12.

Other MFJ items:

MFJ 1272 switches to transfer between microphone and TNC

MFJ made these so it would be easy to use a TNC such as the 
AEA PK-232, or the Kantronics KAM, etc.  The small box has 
a socket to plug your microphone into on the front, along with a 
switch to switch between mic or TNC.  There are two cables 
coming out of the back, with one going to the mic jack on your 
rig, and other going to your TNC.  There is also provisions for 
receive audio in, and an external speaker. No power is required.  
Inside the box is a series of jumpers, so that it can be configured 
for any rig.  Paper work is included that shows how to set the 
jumpers for most of the common rigs (Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom, 
Alinco, etc.).

I have three of these boxes available.  All are in A-1 shape, and 
work 100%.  They are $30 each.

MFJ 1272 B - Designed for round 8 pin mic connector
and 5 pin DIN plug as on MFJ TNCs

MFJ 1272 MX - Designed for the newer 8 pin RJ-45 mic 
connectors (like on a computer network) and the AEA PK-232

MFJ 1272 BYV - Designed for the round 8 pin microphone connector
and the Kantronics TNCs (with DB-9 connector)


MFJ 1305 "wall cube"
This produces 6 V DC at up to 200 ma, and is used to 
power such things as keyers, lights on tuners, and many 
other misc. applications.  Of course it can power many 
things other than MFJ items, but this one is an actual MFJ.  $10

MFJ 704 low pass filter
This filter is made to go on the output of your rig to help get 
rid of TVI and harmonic interference.  It is rated at 1500 
Watts, even with a 2:1 SWR, and is in a very study black 
metal case with SO-239 connectors on each end.  Operating 
frequency is listed as 1.5 to 30 MHz.  It is a 50 ohm filter.  
This one works fine, includes paper work, and looks very 
close to new. These are $50 new, but you can have this one 
for $30.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
