Here at KE4RHH there are:
100+ R-390A's
20+ R-390's
1 R-725
3 R-392
2 GRC-19 systems (paired T-195/R-392), 1 ea 100 amp 28 vdc supply
100+ SCR-274N Tx and Rx, and one complete SCR-274N system with correct mating connecting cables and plugs and shock mountings.
3 51S-1
5 BC-348*
1 BC-610, complete with 2 antenna tuning units.
1 R-388 with matching cabinet
1 75A3
1 75A4
It's difficult to explain the above, except that I've been heavily influenced by fellow members of Nick England's Boatanchors Group. It's a great group to be a member of ... and it explains a lot when one understands their mantra is "If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing..."
All or any of the above are for sale. Inquiries gratefully received and acknowledged.
73's,
-Tom KE4RHH
