Hi gang, Well plans change. A few years back I was thinking I was going to 
build up a killer 10 band rover station, but lately after I've started putting 
the home station back on the air, I think I'm going with the bottom 6 bands 
from home. Easier, less driving, less worrying about snowy roads, etc etc.. hi 
hi. That makes these building blocks for 2304 and 3456 excess to my needs. I'll 
entertain *reasonable offers* especially for more than one item. Pay by PayPal 
OK and preferred actually. shipping extra. questions welcome. Here's what I 
have:


DEMI 2304 low power transverter model 2304-144LP, SN205. This is an older xtal 
controlled version with the MicroLO local oscillator. It's set up for split IF 
at 144MHz and 1-10watt drive but that is easily changed. rig has the 28 v relay 
driver in it to switch a Transco SMA relay. works great, hardly used.  $180


2304MHz, 30 watt linear amp from Pyrojoe off eBay. here's the link:   
https://www.ebay.com/itm/30W-Class-A-Linear-RF-amplifier-2-3-2-45-GHz-2304-ATV-/222684159449?epid=1133083211&hash=item33d9029dd9:g:RhQAAOSwNWxZ6KSt<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F30W-Class-A-Linear-RF-amplifier-2-3-2-45-GHz-2304-ATV-%2F222684159449%3Fepid%3D1133083211%26hash%3Ditem33d9029dd9%3Ag%3ARhQAAOSwNWxZ6KSt&data=02%7C01%7Ccallbill%40hotmail.com%7Cd3f608a897f74368357508d51a51b958%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636443860664554187&sdata=BvypaiCoTKdd61m0QMvuwphlU382qIbAA87dBjGuUCg%3D&reserved=0>
 this is the class A driver board out of a Spectrian 2300MHz rig. just 
milliwatts input, runs on 12 volts, needs a heatsink. PyroJoe wants $145 for 
these.. brand new I'll take $100

DEMI 3456 low power transverter model 3456-144LP, SN200. This is also the older 
xtal controlled version with the MicroLO local oscillator. It's set up for 
common IF at 144MHz and 1-10watt drive but that is easily changed. rig has the 
28 v relay driver in it to switch a Transco SMA relay. works great, hardly 
used.  $180

3456MHz, ~30W Toshiba UM2683B power amp unmodified in original packaging. This 
is the low power version which CAN be modified to be the high power (A) version 
with a different voltage regulator and some other stuff, but at 25-30 watts 
will cruise along the way it is just fine. There's a bunch of info online on 
these amps and they are pretty much the standard for reasonable power on 3456 
these days. Getting hard and harder to find it seems. I got this on eBay from 
PyroJoe but he doesn't have any more. milliwatts input, runs on 12 volts. needs 
heatsink. $150


I have a few heat sinks for above amps 9" x 7" x 1.5" (a few holes in these.. 
work fine on this amp) $20


also have a couple Transco "D" type sma relay used tested good: $25


ALSO........:


I have a pair of brand new Toshiba S-AV36 144MHz RF modules for sale. These are 
the LDMOS ones that put out 80+ watts with 50 mW drive on 2 meters (134-174 
MHz).. 12.5 v of course .. Pretty sure these are current in DEMI 2M 
transverters. Also W6PQL has a board and other parts for an amp with these. I 
bought them from China and waited about 2 weeks for them but paid $50 each 
including shipping. I just want most of my $$ out of them so $50 each delivered 
in the US. Merit at RF Parts wants $65 each plus ship.


thanks - bill, K1DY in Maine
