I have a line on a couple used scopes, thanks to leads from the net and

be common knowledge, so I'd like to enlist your help.

I've seen B&K and HP 15MHz scopes, both around 10-15 years old, and a 
Sencore 10MHz scope which is also 15 years old.  I know the owner of the
Sencore spent around $900 on it new, but I don't know about new prices
on the others, or reasonable used prices for any of them.  All seem to be
working, but perhaps in need of calibration/tune-ups.

Tips?  Hints?  Suggested prices?

thanks!

Maybe where you live, not here in the PNW.  60-80% is probably right.
This is judging from local swap nets, swap meets, hamfests.  The big
net is on 3915 kc Sunday morning, 10am PDT.  It lasts for hours.
The only place where I've seen prices as high as 90% most of the time

Actually, things that glow in the dark are bringing much higher prices

There is an FM (actually PM, not true FM) modification to the two-er which
involves removing the modulation transformer running the modulation signal
into a reactance tube which is added directly after the oscillator.  As
I recall, it produced pretty poor quality audio.  I seem to remember it
showing up in QST at some point.

This weekend my ICOM 24at begin to malfunction, and I was hoping 
that some of the net-experts could shed some light on the 
problem.

My 24 is about 18 months old.  I purchased it from a ham that I 
work with, and he had already performed the extended xmit and rcv 
mods.  It seems to have been working fine until this weekend.

When using 440, everything works fine.  On 2 meter, when using a 
setting other than lowest power, there was a substantial flutter in my 
transmission - some said it sounded like I was talking through the 
blades of a propeller.  The flutter is rather slow, maybe 2 - 3 Hz,
and makes it difficult or impossible to copy my transmission.
I tried different locations, batteries, frequencies and antennas
without improvment.  I then plugged in my speaker-mike (which I 
use more often then not), and the flutter went away on high, but 
was still present on the higher low power settings.  In addition, 
I was not getting out well on high power (We had another 24 to 
compare with).  When I removed the speaker-mike, the condition 
remained the same- high and lowest power ok, the higher low power 
settings had flutter. :^(

I am now preparing to send my radio off to ICOM and spend the next 
many weeks, radio-less, saving my pennies to pay for the work.

Can anyone tell me what might be wrong with my radio, and what might 
have caused such a problem.  I certainly don't want to go through 
this again if I can avoid it.

Thanks...  N7RWO

        I am interested in getting suggestions/comments/recommendations
        on the Yaesu FT-2400H 2m mobile transmitter.  I have seen quite
        a few ads for this radio, and read many different lists of its
        specs, and it looks like quite a nice radio.  If anyone owns
        one, and could tell me more about it (how they like it, how it
        performs, etc.) I would appreciate it.

        As well, (Oh gosh, not a MOD statement!), I saw a mod on N8EMR
        that supposedly allows 118-174 RX, and 140-174 TX.  Can anyone
        confirm this?  This would be the main reason I would buy the
        radio, but I would like to know if it works or not.

        Any help is tremendously appreciated.

Again, I can't find that there is a birdie here (or anywhere else)
with 4 different units. Please remove the antenna and see if the
signal strength of the 'birdie' changes. Let me know.

RE:  IC2-AT - this was my first 2M rig that wasn't converted from 
commercial service (I had an RCA Tac-Tec, 6ch. 5W before). It was small, 
light, rugged and had wonderful audio.  Since we belong to a 1M split 
repeater, it was a little bit of a pain to rock the freq. switch from 146 
receive to 147 transmit!  Well, one of the brain trusts at RCA Labs (now 
SRI nee GE David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton) came up with a 
simple one diode switcher that let you set the rig to 148 (which was 
really 146, but when you transmitted, it switched up one MHz for you 
automatically). Practically everyone in our club had 2-ATs with this mod!
     
Thanks for the memories!!!  73,
