MFJ CW Keyers, Wall Wart, HT Speaker Microphones,
Wattmeter, Bench Power Supply For Sale:


MFJ 8043 Electronic Keyer:

This is an electronic keyer that uses the Curtis 8043
Keyer IC. It has speed, weight, tone, and volume
adjustments.
It is capable of fully automatic or semiautomatic (like
a bug) operation. Also, it can emit a solid "key down"
for tuning up. It works with tube or solid state transceivers.
It has sidetone with a front panel volume and tone control.
Weighting is adjustable from the front panel. It can be
powered via four internal C cells or an external 6 to
9 volt DC power supply.

The styling of this unit is the wood grain and eggshell color
that TenTec used with their early equipment. TenTec made
the enclosure for MFJ, so it is an exact match.

This particular unit looks really great, and of course
it works. Paper work is included for $35.


MFJ 407 B Electronic Keyer:

This is an electronic keyer that uses the Curtis 8044 ABM
Keyer IC. It has TONE, VOL, WEIGHT and SPEED
adjustments. It is capable of fully automatic or
semiautomatic (like a bug) operation. Also, it can emit
a solid "key down" for tuning up. It works with tube or
solid state transceivers. It has sidetone with a front
panel volume and tone control. Weighting is adjustable
from the front panel. Iambic switch on the back selects
Iambic keyer mode. It can be powered via an internal
9 v battery or an external power supply.

This particular unit looks really great, and of course
it works. Paper work is included for $40.


MFJ 1312 Wall Wart power supply
This unit provides 12 V DC at 500 ma. It has a small 2.5
mm male plug, and is often used for keyers, lighting tuner
lights, and other small misc jobs where 12 V DC at low
current is needed. $10


Cables for CW keys and keyers:

Cable for paddles
About 3 feet long, and with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) stereo
connector on the end, like used by most rigs. $8
As above, but 1/4 inch plug. $8
As above, with 1/4 inch GOLD plated plug. $15

Cable for straight key
About 3 feet long, with a mono 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) phone
plug on it, as used with a straight key. $5
As above, but 1/4 inch plug. $5


Several HT Speaker Microphones:

MFJ 286 Speaker Microphone
This was used on a Kenwood TH-225 HT, but it also fits the
TH-21/31/41 series HTs, TH-205, TH-215, TH-415, as well as
others. It has a 3 conductor 3.5 mm plug and a 2 conductor
2.5 mm plug. It works fine. $12

MFJ-287 Speaker Microphone
Fits same HTs as the MFJ 286 above, but is a smaller more
compact speaker mic. It works fine, and looks close to new. $15

Speaker-mic for Yaesu (Vertex) VX-6 / VX-7 / VX-8
This speaker mic has a 4 conductor 3.5 mm connector,
with the threads as used by the VX-6 / VX-7/ VX-8.
Looks to be unused. $15

Azden SDX-316 Speaker Microphone
Although it has an Azden name plate, it will also work
with Icom, some Yaesu, and Alinco that need 3.5 mm and
2.5 mm plugs.
This is the rounder style speaker mic that fits nicely in
the palm of your hand. $18


Heath HM-2102 VHF Wattmeter:

Heath HM-2102 VHF wattmeter, covering 50 to 160 MHz.
Similar to the HM-102, but for VHF frequencies, with 250
and 25 watt scales. It can also be used to check SWR, and
has a remote sensor that can either be left inside the
meter, or separated from the actual meter. SO-239 connectors
in and out.

This particular meter works great. It looks really
terrific -- very close to perfect, with no defects that
I can find.

Paper work included for $50.


Kepco Variable Bench Power Supply:

This power supply is a Kepco Model ABC 40-0.5, which means that
it will produce from zero up to 40 V DC at up to 1/2 amp. This
is an ideal bench power supply!

The voltage is adjustable with a 10 turn pot from close to zero,
up to about 40 volts. There is a fairly large analog meter that
reads the voltage. There is also current limiting built in that
is adjustable from about 100 ma to up to about 700 ma. The same
meter that reads voltage can be switched to read current, or
short circuit current (the point that the current limit is set).
In addition, there are connections on the back to allow remote
sensing and remote programming. This is a quality regulated
power supply!

This particular unit works 100%, and looks extremely nice. $90
