[Milsurplus] WJ for sale

[Ray Fantini]

I have a Watkins Johnson WJ-8730A surveillance receiver that covers from 20 MHz to 300 MHz in two bands that is surplus to my needs. It has the spectrum display, filters for 50 KHz, 1.0 MHz and 3.0 MHz and decodes AM, FM, CW and pulse. With the 50 KHz filter you can listen to two way and CB stuff and the 1.0 MHz filter you can listen to FM Broadcast stations. Had thought about using it for APT Weather downlink on 137.5 being its wide band and has a AFC but have newer and better radios for that although this receiver is fairly sensitive and would be a good candidate for that service. Had a system set up for that a couple years back where you feed the output of the receiver to the sound card in a PC and run WeFax and you can print your own weather pictures directly, who need the internet anyway.
Will attach a picture and more are available upon request. If no interest from the people on the list next stop will be EBay but I would prefer if possible to do something that would not require any shipping. Thinking $200 but also open to offers and I am located on the eastern shore of Maryland outside of Salisbury.
Long as I am bringing this up also have my old Motorola R1200 service monitor that's comes with the manual, wide band mixer, VHF pre selector, tone encoder, cover and a spare unit just for parts. That's an AM/FM signal generator and receiver that covers 1 to 1,000 MHz along with displaying frequency error and deviation. Been keeping it around for when my Motorola 2001 brakes but need the storage space more than the backup!
That can be bought for $250 but due to the massive weight and amount of stuff that goes with it will not do shipping!
