I have cross posted this (I'm a bad boy) so be sure to only reply to me directly or face the wrath of grapes from the list owner. And sorry many of you are likely to see this email 5 or six times. If there is a better way to do this, let me know

Here we go:

24VDC to 120VAC inverter. I believe this is a 500W inverter. It is new in box. Never used. I guess I could test it, but its probably ok.  Box says sine inverter. $50. If someone wants me to put it on a scope and look at noise, I can do that, but I'd like to as $75 for it then.

Here's a very good deal for you folks out there. Here are TWO ABP 12VDC to 24VDC DC-DC converters. Rated at 25A continuous. These were used with the Harris WOTAN stuff. These are designed to be paralleled to provide up to 50A continuous. Probably enough to run a 400W radio system.  I am selling both. They are both tested. One of them was used for many years in a land rover to power my 125W Harris 5000 system. Ran flawlessly. Output on them is exactly the same at 24.5VDC. I believe these use "droop regulation" to allow them to more easily be paralleled (thanks KB2VTL for the primer on droop regulation!). The pair come with ONE set of connectors and cables. Sorry, I only made up one set. Connectors are easily found on ebay "Neutrik". The input connector has three positive and three negative conductors to increase the current carrying capability since the current on the 12V side is at least twice what it will be on the 24V side. I had each of the three conductors connected to a bus bar and then to the vehicle battery (don't forget a circuit breaker). The unit also supports a remote enable. I have brought that out with some orange powerpoles. But I never used this feature. It is setup to enable with this connector open.

I am asking $200 for the pair with connectors and cables. There are some one ebay right now, that show $200 for one.

MBITR AA Battery Holder. PRC-148 etc. $10 for both. Or I'll throw them in if you get some other goodies.

MFJ-259B Working condition. I bought it used and it needed a repair. I sent it to MFJ and 25 years later I got it back (not really, it was only 21 years). Powers on, changes frequency, etc.  Some tape residue. Should come off very easily. They seem to go for between $100 and $200 on ebay. So whats say we ask $100?

Radio Shack 12V power supply. Tested, shows 15V.  $5 or ask me to throw it in with some other stuff. Not sure if it needs a load to regulate. But heck! $5 or $0 if you get some other stuff!

Four brand new shock mounts (like barry). I'll throw these in too.

Racal Headset with pressel switch. Very nice. I love these. $20

Is it clansman or racal? I can never remember. But here is a picture of the connector. Other than the main (wide) key, the other 4 keys are evenly spaced.

H-161D/U US Style headset. looks nice. $10
https://w2hx.com/ForSale/MiscAudio/0428201740.jpg

H-189 workhorse handset. Better audio than the H-250 when you don't need noise cancellation $10

H-250's. Tan one is VCEB for use with the little earpiece (I believe I have the earpiece. If you're interested I'll locate it-earpiece never used). Lets you walk around the hamfest and hear whats going on, or just look like a secret service agent. $20. The other is a standard H-250 $10. Take 'em both and I'll throw in the canvas pouch.

A Very nice, US headset. The contours of the earpieces makes me think it is designed to be worn under your helmet. I've donned this and it fits the head snugly. Nice articulated microphone boom. Very nice item, looks quite new. $20

Handset for Sincgars. Very cool item. Shows some wear. Works both as audio and controls the radio, lets you choose channel, power, mode. $20.

I'll make you a deal. I have WAY more audio stuff than I (or anyone in their right mind) needs. I need to get rid of it. Adding up all the asking process for this miscellaneous audio it totals $100. $75 plus shipping takes it all. Use, or resell it, I don't care!

Ok folks, that's it for now. Lots of stuff coming your way. Its just incredibly time consuming to pull it, test it, picture it, describe it, etc.

Bigger stuff coming. I hate to ship some of this stuff. Please don't ask me about these yet! Resist the urge! A lot of bench time will be needed to evaluate which I want to sell when I have multiples. Some of these things may end up on ebay (sorry about that)
A few TMC GPR-90 (a few of them, some with GSB-1 some without, all nice)
A restored CE 100V (except needs VFO re-greased)
Harris Flyaway RF-3200ET (newer model with LCD display). On the bench now getting HUB battery replaced.
WJ-8711A Receiver (I need to figure out whats wrong with it first). Hope to get it on the bench soon

Shipping:
Ok, here's the scoop. Shipping is expensive these days. And for my convenience I prefer using USPS flat rate boxes. These are more expensive than if I had my own boxes (which I don't).  Costs to ship small box might cost $10 large box might cost $20. Please factor this into your budget. It is just easier for me to use their box and be on my merry way.
