For Sale:

2 meter and 440 MHz Mobile antennas, HF Vertical antennas,
and related items

Larsen VHF and UHF (2 meter and 440 MHz) Mobile antennas:

Antennas are used, but in very good condition.

Larsen NLA-150, 2 meter antenna, for Larsen NLA mount
Has about 3 db gain on 2 meters; includes whip. $16
As above, but coil only, without whip. $10
Note: The whip is hard to ship (it is about 4 feet long),
and often one can be obtained locally.

Larsen NLA-450 coil and "stacked" whip for 440 MHz
Fits the Larsen NLA mount, and has about 5 db gain on
the 70 cm band. Stacked whip is included. $12

Larsen LM-150, 2 meter antenna for Larsen LM Mount
Has 3 db gain on 2 meters.
This coil is still in its original box, and appears to
never have been used. It even has its rubber washer with
it, along with instructions.
Coil only for $20.
Coil, with 4 foot used whip. $26

Larsen Q Quarter Wave Antenna
Fits a 5/16 inch stud, such as the Larsen LM mount,
and others. It can be cut for 2 meters, 220 MHz, or
450 MHz bands. $9

Trunk Lip Mount with 5/16 inch stud
Ideal for use with the "Q" or LM-150above, or any other
antenna that requires a 5/16 inch stud. Very nice for $18.

Avanti "On Glass" antenna for 440 MHz:

This antenna was made by Avanti to mount on a windshield,
or other glass. It does not require a ground plane, as
it is a 1/2 wave antenna, rated to have 3 db gain. It is
ideal for places where a ground plane is not available,
such as a boat or motor home, in addition to cars. A
special tuning box is included to match to your particular
situation.

Avanti Antenna for 440 MHz
Still in its original tube, unopened. $33

Hustler "Super: High Power Resonator:
"Super" high power resonator (good for 2 KW PEP):
20 meter RM-20 S $20

HF Vertical Antennas:

These two HF Vertical antennas are located near Ocala, Florida,
near I-75.  They are disassembled, on the ground, ready for
pickup, and reassembly at your QTH.  Paper work is included, as
are all parts, to the best of my knowledge.  I was careful with
disassembly, so it should be easy to reassemble them.  Due to
their size, it is just not practical to ship them.  Other
antennas and related items can be shipped, of course.

HyGain HyTower HF Vertical Antenna:

The HyGain HyTower HF vertical covers 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10
meters. The WARC bands (and 160 meters) can be added, but
are not a part of this antenna at present. This is an extremely
rugged antenna, consisting of about 30 feet of actual tower,
with additional stubs for tuning. Total height is about 50 feet.

Automatic band selection is achieved through a unique stub
decoupling system so that an electrical 1/4 wavelength (or
odd multiple) exists on all bands. Unity gain on 20, 40, 80;
2 dB on 10/15 Meters.

This particular antenna is in good condition. As far as I know,
all hardware is included. If putting it up myself, I would
probably paint the tower sections, but there is very, very
little surface rust.

Due to size, this is pick up only, near Ocala FL, close to I-75.

This antenna sells for $950 new. With paper work for $350.

Gap "Titan" HF Vertical Antenna:

The Titan is an 8 Band Multiband DX Antenna. It covers 80
thru 10 meters, including the WARC bands.  It covers the
entire band on 40 thru 10, and about 100 KHz on 75/80 meters.
It is about 25 feet tall, and includes a counterpoise, so
that no radials are required.

One of the primary virtues of the Titan is the GAP center
feed. By elevating the feed the earth loss is dramatically
decreased, which means the RF is going out to make the contact
instead of into the ground to warm the earth. Reducing the
earth loss eliminates the need for a radial system. The
Titan requires NO RADIALS.

This particular antenna is in extremely nice shape with no
corrosion.  Most of the aluminum is still shiny.  If I were
putting it up myself, I would clean the connections with a
Scotchbrite sponge, but it is in great condition.  I will
even furnish the sponge!

These sell new for about $400.  This one is close to new,
with paper work for $250.  Pick up only near Ocala FL.

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 good, but has a
small defect on the left side of the meter that does not
effect operation.

Paper work included for $40.

Dual Meter SWR Bridges:

All of these feature two separate meters -- one for reading
forward power and another for reading SWR. This permits one
to easily monitor both the power going out, and the SWR on
the antenna. They were made in Japan, and labeled with various
names, including Swan, Siltronix, and Quement. All have SO-239
connectors on each end, and work fine.

All will work on HF, and VHF, covering 3 to 150 MHz, so are
ideal for the new rigs that include 6 and 2 meters.

Swan SWR-1
This one is in its original box, but the meter itself says
Siltronix on it. The original instruction sheet has both
Swan and Siltronix on it. $45

Quement SWB-2
No box for this one, but it works fine and looks great.
With paper work for $40

SWR Bridges / Field Strength Meters:

Midland 23-126 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
This is an HF SWR Bridge, but it can be used up thru 2 meters,
with slightly reduced accuracy. It is also a field strength
meter. SO-239 connectors.
This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it; it may not have ever been used. In its
original box with original instructions and small telescoping
antenna. $35

ThordTest SWFS-2 SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
Appears to be the same as the Midland above, but the outer case
is beige instead of black.
In original box, with original instruction sheet, and antenna.
$30

ParaDynamics PDC-5 Wattmeter
This unit has a wattmeter with scales of 100 W, 10 W, and
1 W. It has an SWR Bridge built in, with an antenna tuner.
It was obviously made for 11 meter use, but it works well
on other frequencies. The tuner portion works fine on 10 m,
12 m, and 15 m. The wattmeter seems accurate from 20 meters
thru 10 meters.
It is physically small (only 5 X 3 X 1), so would be ideal
for portable use.
The wattmeter and antenna tuner portion work fine, however,
the SWR portion of this unit is inoperative. It looks fine. $12

Low Pass TVI Filters:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce
harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors.

B & W FL-10/1500 low pass filter
This 50 ohm filter cuts off just above 10 meters, and will
handle 1500 Watts. This is the latest model B & W filter.
It is in very nice condition; it looks very close to new.
With paper work $40.

B & W 425 low pass filter
It cuts off just above 10 meters, and will handle 1500+ Watts.
Maximum attenuation is at 52 MHz, with at least 70 db across
the band. This is an older model that seems much heavier duty.
It weighs almost twice as much as the newer model, and looks
like it would take more power. It even has a serial number on
it, and "Patent applied for". Paper work included. $35

Drake TV-3300-LP Low Pass Filter
This is a modern low pass filter to go between your transmitter
and antenna, and has been optimized to have more attenuation
in the 40 MHz region, where many TVs have their IF. It is good
for 1000 Watts "average" according to the manual, and has
over 80 db attenuation at 41 MHz. This one looks great, and
includes the paper work. $30

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
