[Wswss] VHF+ items for sale

[kr7o at vhfdx.com]

Doing a cleanup and complete rebuild of the shack this winter, so need to 
clear some excess equipment purchased for various projects that are 
duplicate or no longer needed.

Kenwood TS830s gold label,  9/10 condition
CW and SSB optional filters, loaded
Modified for transverter use (modifications easily reversible)
         Has the low level out and RX in lines brought out to RCA 
connectors (uses existing chassis holes).  No need to deal with the stupid 
DIN connector.
         The display hold button enables expanded frequency coverage below 
the 10M band to (26.5-28.0MHz have to verify) to give expanded IF options 
for multi-transverter users or to listen to Eu video carriers on a 6M xvtr.
original hand microphone
original users manual
copy of service manual
copies of (Fox Tango??) bulletins with tips/tricks/modifications
original boxes
I used this as my primary 6M IF radio (and occasional HF use) until I 
purchased a 756PRO a few years ago and it has been boxed in the closet ever 
since.  The 830s is a great IF radio and has a great noise blanker.
$600 with filters (available for sale without filters if desired).

Icom IC-202 portable rig
Has three crystals covering:  144.0-144.2, 144.2-144.4 and 145.0-145.2 (in 
slot A)
1W output on SSB/CW on a Daiwa meter
Appears to have the telescoping antenna, but the top button is broken 
off.  I couldn't extend the antenna (didn't try too hard though).
Icom hand microphone
Internal light and all switch functions seem to be work.
Homebrew 12v DC power cable/adapter.  Warning:  Ring of power connecter is 
+V on this radio
Battery compartment shows some signs of battery leakage, but the contacts 
look to be in good shape.  Don't have any C-cells to test operation on 
battery power.
Appears to be functioning as expected.  I was able to copy the KJ6KO beacon 
about 150 miles away with no preamp.  TX appears good in SSB and CW, but 
couldn't find anyone to test with, so just monitored on another radio.
The plastic clips that hold the battery cover are broken and/or missing, so 
that cover does not stay attached.
Overall it is maybe a 6/10 condition cosmetically.  It is a portable radio 
and appears to be used as such, so there are lots of paint scrapes.  The 
front panel is in decent condition, but could use a cleaning.  The only 
things obviously broken are the tip of the internal antenna and the clips 
that hold the side panel on.
$100

HP 431B power meter
no thermistor or cable
no AC power cable
I used have used this several times, but have upgraded to a more recent model
Meter zeros out with my power head (not included)
Physical condition 7/10
$30

HP 432A power meter
no thermistor or cable
no AC power cable (uses standard computer power cable)
powers on, but does not appear to function otherwise
Sold for parts
$15

AILTECH Type 75 Precision Automatic Noise Figure Indicator
Has a sticker with a number 1462 to the right of the Type 75 model number 
(if that means anything)
19" rack mount unit
Powers on, but I have no noise source or any way to test it.  AGC indicator 
lights up for a few seconds on power up
I brought it to Microwave Update a few years ago and someone there told me 
it looked complete.
There are two bushings on the front panel labeled FREQ ADJ and GENERATOR 
CURRENT (uninstalled options?)
Has mostly intact warranty/calibration stickers on the top and bottom 
covers, but they are wearing from this unit being moved about (but appear 
to have never been intentionally broken).
Last calibration 5-1-1990 by Spectra Labs
Has a few scratches on the front panel, but otherwise pretty clean.
Top/bottom panels are perforated aluminium and shows denting from having 
other equipment placed on it.
I have a copy of the manual

Ericsson 900MHz 150w amplifier (model A530455KXN ??)
I received this in trade from an Ericsson engineer in Sweden several years ago
TNC in, N-female out
28V (pretty sure)
0dbm input (not sure of this)
I am pretty sure this is ready to go as-is (no modifications necessary) and 
should be functional given the source, but I have never used it.   I may 
still have some documentation for this, but I lost a bunch of emails 
several years ago.  K1UHF had (maybe still has) one of these and I had some 
correspondence with him regarding this in the past.  KJ6KO had lower power 
versions of this amp for sale in the past and may have more info available.
The amp is smaller than a brick amp, and it originally had forced air 
cooling (I have seen the accompanying chassis that completed the ducting).
$100

N6CA single 2C39 cavity, 1296MHz
Just the cavity, no tube or power supplies.
$125

Ericsson 50W 900MHz Transceiver Unit (model BTE101101/03 ?)
Supposedly an Italian HAM had documented converting the amplifier in this 
to 1296, but I never found it with Google when I looked several years back.
This is one, complete transceiver, obtained from a local cell tech.  No 
further info
Weighs about 20#
$50

AM1565 military amplifier cavity 200-400MHz.  This IS NOT an AM6154/5 cavity.
Uses a pair of 4CX250k tubes (UHF rated coaxial version of 4CX250).
This is just the cavity assembly, no power supply, tubes etc.
Inside of cavity is gold plated
This is supposed to provide ~600W output
I previously had an amplifier with this cavity (this was a spare, was 
thinking of combining them) and it provided ~400w on 222MHz and 250w on 
432MHz.
Have some documentation for this cavity.
$175

Motorola/Eimac CV-2800 series Cavity amplifier  (902 conversion project)
Uses 3CX400U7 tube. The rack panel includes blower, meters for voltage and 
current
Will have to check if there is a tube in either cavity
Spare cavity included
$100

AM6155 military UHF cavity amplifier
Complete unit (not yet converted for HAM service)
untested
Prefer pickup on this item, otherwise will have to ship in three boxes.
$250

Proceedings, WSWSS 1997
I have a few extra new copies of the proceedings from the 1997 Western 
States Weak Signal Society.  They are new, but may have some blemishes.
$10 or trade for other conference proceedings, MUD, CS, SEVHF, NEWS or back 
issues of Dubus.

Prices do not include shipping unless noted.  No international sales.
