I have three VHF/UHF whips with different gains that I salvaged from the closing of a local audio retailer

5 Upvotes

They’re designed to be mounted on cars and seem to all be intact. I’m looking for a mobile transceiver that’s a step up from my UV 5R III I’d rather it not be of the walkie squalkie variety but beggars can’t be choosers.

Looking for an ICOM IC7300

3 Upvotes

I have the IC9700 but want the HF bands from the IC7300 sister ship. If anyone is wanting to sell, i'm open to an offer. If cash+trade is an option, I might be willing to let go of a Kenwood TH-D74, a Yaesu FT-3DR, or possibly an iCOM ID5100 mobile.

Does anyone have an extra dual lever paddle?

10 Upvotes

I really want to learn CW and I figured I'd join cwacademy.

One of the requirements is a paddle. When I looked them up online, they all seem to cost $50-$70 :/

Would anyone have an extra paddle they're willing to part with? I'll even pay for shipping

Thank you so much

Does anyone have a 12v rechargeable battery or some extra Anderson Power Poles?

4 Upvotes

I need a 12v 12ah-20ah rechargeable for a mobile radio I'm trying to set up, and that's the most expensive part. I would really appreciate any help! I would also really appreciate any Anderson Power Poles but I need the battery more. Thank you! (I'm in California, USA)

Need 2m transceiver for APRS igate/digipeater base

4 Upvotes

It looks like the Kenwood TM271 I've been using as a APRS igate/digipeater is not doing well.

Does anybody have a line on an a 45-watt Motorola Maxtrac that I can reprogram and put into service?

There are lots on ebay in the $40 range, but it's difficult to tell what you're getting and so many of them are "untested."

Thanks, Gary KI5GRD.

Does anyone have a mobile transceiver?

2 Upvotes

I'm going out on a limb and asking if anyone has any mobile transceivers they're willing to give up. Honestly would take non-mobile too.

(I got my license about a week ago, I've been using a Baofeng UV-5R but I'm looking for an upgrade)

RADIO FOUND!

SHIPPED [FREE] Signalink cable SL-CAB6PM

8 Upvotes

I bought a used Signalink unit, the included radio cable is surplus to my needs. Signalink's website says "compatible with virtually any radio that uses a 6-pin mini-DIN Data Port connector" and also lists the compatible radios.

The RJ45 locking tab is broken, the previous owner said he just taped the cable to his FT-450. But a new RJ45 connector could be installed, if you can find someone who has the tools to make custom ethernet cables.

Postage is on me, US or Int'l okay.

SHIPPED Men's large Scott E-Vest jacket

9 Upvotes

This isn't a new model, it's 15+ years old - I think it's from when they first added zip-off sleeves to their solid black vest and called it v2.0. And as far as I can tell, not much different than their new $250 jacket, just a bit dusty from hanging in my coat closet for ages. It has so many pockets for gear, with tunnels & routing for headsets or microphones, I always thought this would be great for someone doing EmComm or public service events. I wore it less than a dozen times, so it's still in great condition, turns out I didn't really carry that many everyday gadgets. I'll cover shipping via USPS (International is okay, it's a small box).

NB: this is a Large in euro sizing, so if you're a big XL feller, it's not going to fit you.

Any HF radios going spare?

8 Upvotes

I have been using cheap cw kits to get me on HF due to lack of funds. I thought I might check on here if anyone had any old HF radios they were willing to part with. I am able to repair as well so being damaged isn't an issue.

Outfitting a school club

6 Upvotes

Hey all, I am a new general licensee and am excited to get on the air. I don't have any equipment of my own yet. I'm excited to get started. I'm also in an ideal situation to start a school club. I was a middle school science teacher but now I've taken over the "technology" teacher job. I am teaching it in our new fab lab and have all kinds of machines and tools to help kids be creative. It's my first year in there but it'll be awesome.

I want to start a ham club inside the fab lab. We'd be able to build/test antennas, do electrical projects, all kinds of things. This would be for the kids who want to pursue it, not everyone. Each kid will be choosing what they pursue. Kids interested in other stuff will be doing other stuff.

Anyway, I'm open to anything. Could be coax, old antennas, connectors, and obviously radios and accessories. Even a dipole would be appreciated. Located in MN. Thanks for considering.

something to get me on HF

4 Upvotes

Does anyone have anything somewhat mobile I can use for HF don't care if it's one band multiband really couldn't care less, I have a radio at home but there's so much rfi where i live that i can't use it and it's driving me nuts not getting on HF. Honestly it can even be broken I have friends who can help me fix stuff I just can't afford anything for the foreseeable future.

I was given this a few years ago by a nice gentleman when he heard I was looking for a function generator as a college student. I don't need it any longer, so I'd like to continue to pass it along for free. I only ask you pay for shipping and take it if you really need it.
