Motorola VHF Transceiver and Motorola Test Equipment
.
.

Motorola MaxTrack 300, 2 m Mobile Transceiver:

This Motorola 2 meter FM transceiver is obviously a
commercial quality radio that has a very "tight" receiver,
with much better quality than the normal ham rig. Of
course it is type accepted to be used on commercial
frequencies.

This one produces about 50 watts output. Included with
it is more paper work than one can imagine. It includes
not only the operating manual as one would expect, but
also has complete alignment info. It appears that a
Motorola engineer did a complete alignment and test on
it, using Motorola test equipment, just before he retired.
The bottom line is that you can absolutely be assured it
is working as it should.

Cosmetically, it looks extremely nice.

In addition to the paper work listed above, it includes a
Motorola hand mic, power cord, and antenna adapter
so a PL-259 can be used.

Only $100.

Motorola S1053C AC Voltmeter:

The S1053C is an AC voltmeter with full scale readings
of 1 millivolt (-72 dBm) to 300 volts (+52 dBm) in 12
ranges, and is rated +/- 2% from 50 Hz to 300 kHz, or
+/-3% from 20 Hz to 1 MHz.

It includes a high gain isolation amplifier, and can be
AC or Battery operated. It is housed in a very heavy
duty steel case, suitable for field use, although it is
certainly lab quality, and made for such. Because of its
frequency response, it is ideal for audio measurements.

This one works fine and looks great. It has a calibration
sticker on it, which also shows the quality of this instrument.

Paper work is included for $45.

Motorola S 1067 A, Audio Generator

This audio oscillator covers from 20 Hz to 200 KHz in
four overlapping ranges. It is a laboratory quality
instrument, but is in heavy duty case that can also be
used in the field.  It was often used to service Motorola
communications equipment.  It can be operated from either
120 V AC, or from a battery.

It also includes a distortion analyzer as part of the unit.

This one works fine and looks great. It has a calibration
sticker on it, which also shows the quality of this instrument.

Paper work is included for $60.

RCA WV-510 A "Master Voltohymst" VTVM:

The RCA WV-510 A "Master Voltohmyst" is a very nice
instrument!

It addition to all of the "normal" VTVM functions (AC
volts, DC volts, ohms), it will also measure DC current
up to 1500 ma, using separate probes (included). AC
frequency response is from 20 Hz to 3 MHz, so it is
fine for audio AC measurements.

The meter itself is large (over 7 1/2 inches) and has
a very nice mirrored scale, so it plenty accurate. It
even has a calibration sticker on it.

The leather handle is in good shape. Cosmetically it is
very good, but of course is not perfect, since it has
some age on it.

My guess is this is the one you will use for most
everything, and your other meters will not get as much
use.

It includes both the DC current probe, plus the regular
probe with AC/DC switch, as most VTVMs have. Paper
work is also included for $100.

RCA WR-69 A Sweep Generator:

The WR-69 A is a sweep generator that is used
to align FM radios and TV sets.

More information is available at
http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/rca_television_fm_sweep_gene.html?language_id=2

I do not know much about this unit, except that apparently
it works. When I connect a scope, I see a sine wave at the
output. Beyond that I really do not know how to test it.

It looks great. Paper work is included for $40.
.

I will be having more test equipment available (many
with calibration stickers on them) as I get it checked
out including items such as
RCA SC-611 Broadband Sweep Generator
RCA WR-70A RF/IUF/RF Marker/Adder
RCA WR-69A TV/FM Sweep Generator
RCA WA-44B Audio Generator
RCA WR-41B UHF Sweep Generator

Plus some HP, Boonton, Eico, etc.

.
.

I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories,
etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.

Thanks.
