I think Chuck purchased it as a kit, built it up in the enclosure & intended to use it with a 5m dish but don't think he ever got that project finished. In 2015, I purchased a 5m solid dish fm the estate of K7NII (SK) which included a W2DRZ control system & thought I'd get the "JFL" as a backup. Since I had the "DRZ" controller checked out & it works FB, the "JFL" is now excess to my needs & available for sale. I'll be going in for open-heart surgery in about 3 weeks so thought I'd see if there's interest in this OE5JFL system so I can get it shipped. Here's what's included: 1. OE5JFL controller which can be operated stand alone or interfaced with a computer. It's built up in a nice enclosure & is suitable for controlling the drive motors for a parabolic dish or large EME antenna array system. The microprocessor is pre-programmed with location & tracking data for sun, moon & various other celestial objects. The only checking I've had time to do is plug it in, turn it on & it does boot up with v 3.1 firmware. So, there's probably firmware updates available. THIS IS THE ONLY TESTING I'VE DONE & WILL GUARANTEE THAT IT BOOTS UP WITH THE TWO DISPLAYS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. OTHERWISE, IT'S BEING SOLD "AS IS". 2. Two MAB 25, 12-bit absolute encoders (12 HS5 SER) for AZ & EL. Each is in a metal box with a knob on & cable to plug into the splitter box. (Not tested). 3. Splitter box with short CAT 5 cable to connect to controller. 4. Binder (1-1/2" thick) with all the documentation I received when purchasing it. 5. The built-in power supply is wired for US 110 VAC & power cable is included. 6. A cheap VOM is included since it came with it when I received it. I've already packed it up & it's ready to ship in a 16"x16"x10" heavy duty box & weight is 14 lbs. I will ship international but prefer CONUS due to cost. logistics + the fact that it's wired for US 110 VAC. Based on what I paid for this system, I'm offering all of the above for only $400 + shipping fm 86323 & insurance (if desired). Will accept PayPal - Friends & Family or just add PayPal service charge if not F&F. I really don't have any idea what this is worth & I may be selling it too cheap. In the documentation, I saw an email with HB9DRI & thought he was involved with selling & servicing these systems. I sent him a couple of emails to see what he thought it was worth but never heard back. Hopefully, all of the attached photos come thru. If not, please email me & I'll send them to you. 73, Bob, K6PF Chino Valley, AZ From k6pf at sbcglobal.net Sat May 18 16:31:08 2024 From: k6pf at sbcglobal.net (k6pf at sbcglobal.net) Date: Sat, 18 May 2024 13:31:08 -0700 Subject: [Microwave] For Sale: OE5JFL Antenna Controller System References: <01c501daa962$5133a840$f39af8c0$.ref@sbcglobal.net> Message-ID: <01c501daa962$5133a840$f39af8c0$@sbcglobal.net> OE5JFL antenna controller system for sale.

Attachments are an option for qth.net, have been since the beginning, up to about 20MB per message depending on the posters email provider limitation, but old-school moderators generally don't turn that option on, adhering to the old CW mentality of running a forum, which by the dial-up BBS days, had evolved lightyears beyond that. Hopefully, you get some bites. You may also want to try groups.io forums, by default attachments are allowed, as the service provider realizes a single photo can eliminate almost all conversation, by getting right to the point: Picture, price.

Those who use e-mail reader programs such as uShaft's Outhouse, the later Eudora 7.x offerings, and many others, which had or have the capability of providing automagic previews of e-mail containing html or certain types of attachments, when the option to display such was enabled, were, and still are, among the most-often and severely-affected e-mail readers. QTH.net (and contesting.com, for that matter), in comparision, remains among the very few safe e-mailers which cannot pass on such malwear since they do not allow attachments or html within their posts, but only plain text. Your sarcastic dig at "old CW mentality" above is badly misplaced and shows a complete misunderstanding of the issues and dangers of automatically-executing html e-mail and/or attachments, which remain as important and critical today as ever (if not more-so). 73, Steve K0XP From k6pf at sbcglobal.net Thu May 23 16:09:05 2024 From: k6pf at sbcglobal.net (k6pf at sbcglobal.net) Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 13:09:05 -0700 Subject: [Microwave] For Sale: OE5JFL EME Controller System - PRIOCE REDUCED!!!
