TenTec Switching 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. $140

All work fine, look fine, and use SO-239 connectors.
B & W Model 550 A Coax Switch
This model will switch up to 5 antennas, and does NOT
ground unused antennas. Coax comes out the side, like
spokes of a wheel.
It will handle the full legal limit. $35

Three position antenna switch in rectangular box.
Connectors on the back. In original box. May be new. $25

These switches utilize metal cavity construction for max efficiency
and high isolation. Isolation is better than 50 dB at 300 MHz
with low insertion loss less.
All are two position and are typically rated for 2500 W PEP,
and good to 600 MHz.
Diawa CS-201 - $22
Opek CX-201 - $22
MFJ 1702 C - With center position that grounds both antennas,
and added lightning protection. $25
Bird 43 Watt Meter:
The Bird 43 is an insertion type RF watt meter, designed
to measure RF power and load match in 50 ohm coaxial
transmission lines. It is intended for use with CW, AM,
FM, and TV modulation. It measures power from 100 mw
to 10KW, depending on the element used. The meter provides
direct readings in watts with an expanded scale for easy
reading. The scale is graduated for 25, 50, and 100 full
scale. Elements are available in a variety of power, and
frequency ranges.
This particular meter is model 4300.21 manufactured in
March 1957, so it is the older, well constructed model.
It has "N" connectors, with the leather handle, which
is in good shape.
The meter works well. $160
Communications Speakers:
Realistic 21-549 A
This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches
deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and
is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it
ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono
plug, as used by most modern rigs. Gimbal mount included.
It is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $12

different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs,
