HF Transceivers, Power Supply, Desk Microphones, Coaxial
Antenna Switches, Wattmeters and SWR Bridges For Sale:
TenTec 561 Corsair II, HF transceiver:
Many consider the Corsair to be the best rig that TenTec
ever made, before the Orion or Eagle. It is not a
synthesized rig, so phase noise is virtually nonexistent.
This means that it has a really superb receiver that is
far better than most of the Japanese rigs. It covers 160
thru 10 meters, including the WARC bands, and has such
things such as band pass tuning, notch filter, QSK, noise
blanker, etc. It has 8 pole filter in the 9 MHz IF, for
additional selectivity. It has up to 100 watts output,
with front panel adjustment for QRP, and is all solid
state. It also has a built in keyer.
Electrically, everything works 100%. It is an exceptional
performing unit. The PTO is smooth and works great.
Cosmetically, it is also in great condition. No defects
that I can find. Manual is included for $550.
TenTec 585 Paragon HF Transceiver:
The Paragon is a top of the line transceiver that includes a
general coverage receiver. It covers 160-10 meters, including
WARC bands, with 100 watts output. The receiver is fantastic.
It has dual VFOs and many memories built in, along with a
speech processor. Basically, it has about every feature that
a ham could want in an HF rig.
This particular unit works 100% as best I can tell. Since the
rig does so many things, I am sure that there is something I
didn't test, but I don't know what it is (or I would have
tested it!). It has had all updates completed by TenTec.
Cosmetically, it is in extremely nice shape. The front panel
is extremely good. Most all of the lettering is clean and
crisp. This one is in exceptional condition. It also has the
Giehl chip in it making it similar to a Paragon II.
Large manual and power cord included for $650.
TenTec Power Supply:
"Switcher / 25" 25 amp switching power supply:
This is a 25 amp switching power supply in a case that
matches the early Omni series case, with the metal bezel
around it. It is in a case that is the same size as a 243
remote VFO. It has an ammeter on the front, along with
Switch, TenTec logo, and output bulb. The front panel
basically looks like a 280 power supply with a metal bezel,
but says "Switcher/25" on it. It is very quiet, and well
shielded, and does not produce any electrical noise that
I could find. $175
TenTec 705 desk microphone
This electret desk mic has the PTT and "hold" buttons.
It works great, and looks close to new.
With paper work for $75.
Kenwood MC-80 Desk Microphone:
The Kenwood MC-80 is an omnidirectional electret condenser
"gooseneck" desk mic. It has UP-DOWN tuning plus a built-in
pre-amp. There is a switch for PTT and also a lock feature.
The mic impedance is 700 ohms so it can be used with a wide
range of models, and it has a frequency response of 200 Hz
to 7 KHz. There is a potentiometer adjustment on the back
of the mic stand to adjust the output level. The mic
terminates to a standard 8 pin Kenwood mic plug. It requires
voltage from the Kenwood transceiver to operate.
This one works fine, sounds good, has a new wind screen,
and is in its original box. With paper work for $75.
Coaxial antenna switches:
B & W CS-3 G "Protax" (formerly called Model 593)
This is a 3 position antenna switch with the four SO-239
connectors coming out the back of the rectangular enclosure.
It does ground all unused connections.
This one works fine and looks like new. With paper work
for $30.
B & W CSR-5 G "Protax" (Formerly known as Model 376)
This is a five position antenna switch with the six SO-239
connectors coming out of the switch like the spokes of a
wheel. Unused connections are grounded.
This switch is in its original box, with paper work, and
appears unused. These go for about $75 new. Buy this
one for only $55.
B & W Model 550 G coax switch
This model will switch up to 5 antennas, and DOES ground
unused antennas. It has SO-239 connectors on the sides,
with the coax coming out like spokes of a wheel. It is
in good condition and works fine. Mounting bracket is
included for $30.
Wattmeters:
Dentron W-2 Dual Meter HF Wattmeter:
This wattmeter has two separate meters and is designed
for use on the HF bands (1.8 to 30 MHz). It has full
scale readings of 2000 Watts and 200 Watts. It has a
separate sensor that can either be used remotely, or can
be attached to the enclosure for a more compact unit.
It is in a nice black enclosure that will match most
ham gear.
This one works fine, and looks very close to new. No
scratches, dents, or dings.
With paper work for $75.
Micronta 21-520 A Dual Meter HF Wattmeter:
Full scale readings of 10, 100 and 1000 Watts. It has a
remote pickup sensor with about 3 feet of cable to the
dual meter control head. It reads both SWR and forward
watts at the same time, on the dual meters, which are
fairly large. This one is in extremely nice, close to
new, shape. $55
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, looks great and includes paper work for $45.
SWR Bridges:
Both of these cover from 3 to 150 MHz, covering HF, 6 meters,
and 2 meters, so are ideal for the new rigs with 6 meters and
2 meters in them. SO-239 connectors.
Quement SWB-2
This unit features 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 at the same time.
It works fine and looks great. With paper work for $40.
Royce 2-100 Single Meter SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it, but it does have a previous owners name
on it. In its original box with original instructions. $32
I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
