TenTec 229 antenna tuner:
This tuner will handle full legal power, and features a
roller inductor, so you can get an exact match. It uses
an "L" match instead of a "T" match, which means there is
only one spot that will give you the correct match. With
the "T" match, one can get a match at several different
points, but only one of these points is the correct one.
The "L" match is also more efficient. Electrically, it
is the same as the 238, 238 A, 238 B, 238 C, 229 A,
229 B, and the 4229 kit.
There is also a built in wattmeter with full scale reading
of 200 and 2000 watts. It also has an SWR bridge with
lighted meter, plus a 4 position antenna switch.
It can be used on any HF frequency, including the WARC
bands, since it is continuously adjustable. It includes
a built in internal balun, so open wire can be used,
if desired.
Cosmetically, this unit is the color of the earlier Omni
series (Omni 546, series A, B, and C) with the black vinyl
covering, and nice aluminum trim around the front.
This particular unit functions 100%, and looks perfect.
I can not find a scratch on it.
Paper work is included for $320.
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. $170
Deluxe Desk Microphone:
This is a great looking and great performing low impedance
desk mic. It has a quality Shure 600 ohm cartridge in it
(the cartridge alone is over $40 new), with a very nice
black die case base and neck, with a chrome grill. It
looks somewhat like a Shure 444, but no plastic on this
one -- all metal!
This one has stripped and tinned ends on it, which means
any connector can easily be added.
This one looks like new, and works the same. It has a
long (approx 6 foot) cord. $70
Coaxial Cable:
I accumulated a fairly large amount of miscellaneous
lengths of coaxial cable. Most of the cable is RG-8
(.405 inches in diameter) or equivalent. Most has a
PL-259 on at least one end, and most on both ends.
All of the coax over 20 feet has been checked with an
analyzer, and its loss has been confirmed to be within
10% of new specs which is as close as I can measure.
Lengths under 20 feet have been checked for continuity,
because loss is almost impossible to measure for lengths
this short.
I have a large amount in many different lengths, varying
from 1 foot to 100 feet. To put it another way, I have
jumpers for in your shack, and lengths to run up your
tower. I can not list all of the lengths. Please let
me know what you need, and I will see how close I can come.
The coax is 3 feet for a dollar (33 cents a foot), plus
$2 for each installed PL-259, plus shipping from Florida.
Coax connectors and adapters:
Prices are per connector. Several of each are available.
Most are unused.
UHF Right angle 90 degree elbow connector $3
UHF double female "Barrel connector" (two SO-239 together) $3

UHF double male connector (two PL-259's together) $3
UHF "T" connector with two female (SO-239) and one male
(PL-259) connection $5
Antenna adapter to fit the BNC connector on the HT
and provide an SO-239 connector that will permit
a PL-259 to be attached. (BNC male to UHF female) $5
UHF Male to BNC female (opposite of above) $5
BNC male for coax cables
standard type $2
crimp on type $3
Chassis mount BNC female
square mount (uses 4 screws) $3

BNC "T", two female and one male $3
"N" Connector, Double Male $8
Dentron "Big Dummy" RF Dummy Load:
This is Dentron's equivalent to the the traditional Heath
"Cantenna" dummy load that will handle a kilowatt. It has
a derating curve with it.
It is in good shape both electrically and cosmetically.
It has no rust, dents nor dings.
I measured the resistor and it is 53 ohms, so obviously it
is in good shape. I have never seen any others this close
to 52 ohms!
I can ship it either with or without oil. The cost to
purchase is the same, but of course the shipping will be
higher with the oil.
With derating curve and paper work for $45.
Cables for CW keyers and keys:
Cable for paddles
About 3 feet long, and with a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) stereo
connector on the end, like used by most rigs. $8
As above, but 1/4 inch plug. $8
As above, with 1/4 inch GOLD plated plug. $15
Cable for straight key
About 3 feet long, with a mono 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) phone
plug on it, as used with a straight key. $5
As above, but 1/4 inch plug. $5
World Atlas, World Map, and DXCC List:
Radio Amateur World Atlas - 13th edition
Includes many different maps of the world with
ham prefixes on them.
Nice condition $8
ARRL DXCC Countries List
This is a large check list for working the various
countries, and also includes other information such
as prefixes, applications, etc. New condition $4
I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs,
antennas, etc. Just too many things to list here.
Please e-mail your requests.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
