Clubmates,

TVARC recently received requests to take two complete stations off the hands of their owners.  No compensation was requested – just take the equipment.  The TVARC Board decided to offer the equipment to the membership before disposing of it in some other fashion.

Step One of disposing of the equipment was to offer all of the books that were obtained for sale in the back of the room at the last TVARC meeting.  $41 was generated for the club treasury.

Step Two is to offer the HF radios for sale to the membership.

Radio #1 is a vintage Kenwood TS-440SAT transceiver with a matching PS-50 power supply.  The TS-440SAT has a built-in antenna tuner.  It powers up and appears to work OK.  It does have significant keypad bounce.

Radio #2 is an Icom IC-7000 transceiver with a Jetstream power supply.  The IC-7000 did not have a built-in antenna tuner option, so many IC-7000 owners used external antenna tuners.  This IC-7000 comes with an LDG AT-7000 automatic antenna tuner (and the proper cable to connect it to the IC-7000).  The package also includes a mobile mount and a regular mount for the IC-7000.  All of these items except the Jetstream power supply are in their original boxes.

If you have any questions about either of these radios, email them to:  [email protected]

Step Three is to offer the smaller items for sale on the TVARC website in the Items for Sale section.  Notices will be sent out on the TVARC reflector and on the www.k4vrc.com website when Steps Two and Three go into effect.
