That what i've been tring to say, im not yet.  I want to see if the gear
will tear a hole in the wallet.  i'm 17 so I dont have all the money in
the world, and am looking for a job.  I am tring to get everthing so I can
get my call, and all the wonders that come with it.  Illegal cb gear is
useless.  I run legal, guys near me run over 1000 watts, but thats not how
I work cause I know in the end everybody gets theirs.  And at my age going
through the test and everything is will be useless if I find out the gear
that I am able to use will take me forever to afford.  You can ask jon and
he will tell you that i'm telling the truth, we know each other quite
well, he is able to do everything now cause he has a radio that his grampa
gave him.  Well that is the whole story.  Thats why I posted about the
gear, and I need a cheap price.  So that I can get a start.

I am in the market for a CHEAP (operating) HF receiver, preferably useful
up to at least 10 Meters.  (6 Meters a bonus).  Being disableed, I can't
afford much.  I would like to find something in the $50-75 range.  An old
Heathkit would be just fine as long as it works, OR a old, beat-up HF
xcvr for around $100, even if the xmtr needs work but is repairable would
be great!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi, John;
Re; the 440 HT... Having a problem finding rocks for it... the durn
things are soldered in!  (I was hoping for sockets)...
ANYway, what do you know about the charger?  I bought a new 24 V 2 Amp
xfmr for it and put it in, (after checking every diode in the thing -
they all check good!), put in a new 1/2 A SB fuse, plugged it in and
dropped tradio in it.  About 3-4 minutes later I smelled something
warm - unplugged it, opened it up and out fell 2 1-watt resistors which
had come unsoldered from the board!  Everything in there was so hot,
(including the bottom, which serves as a heat sink), it was hard to
hang onto!  SHEESH!  I pray nothing major is fried!
Do you have ANY info on the problems the charger has beyond "a diode
and soon the transformer" as you mentioned?  Is there any service
literature available for it anywhere?
Close examination of the inside of the redio reveals only one place
where there appears to be room to mount an external charging jack:
right next to the earphone jack.  Not the ideal place, but it will be
satisfactory.

assistant: Hi Ivy,
        Just got the Dentron Back from shop. They said the TX side needs a
lot of "Fine" tuning, as do the Tunable Finals. Since it has a lot of little
things to tune, (I have the Manual, but no time to do anything with it.) I
would take $50.00 for it, Including Shipping. RX Works Fine 80-10. The Finals
preamp for each Band adjusts separately, so as stands:
It has 15 Watts out on 10
        18 Watts out on 12
        75 Watts out on 20
        100 Watts out on 40
        87 Watts out on 80.
        Radio is Serial #28 out of 52 they made. It is designed for 200 Watts
out on all bands, but the Final Preamps for each sub-band need tuned for best
performance. (The Manual Tells How).
        RX on 80-10 works fine, but also needs a little fine tuning done
there as well. Comes with Mike. I don't have any spare CW Keys, Though. The
Design is Consistent with The Dentron Antenna Tuners and with the Dentron
Line of Power Amplifiers (Looks Good when you have them all!!!

        I dont have any further Info. The Charger was working fine, and then
a diode was literally cooked in half. Then The XFMR started getting hot.
Should be a 12 volt output, as the batteries are 12 volts, I thought. I know

thanks!!!
BTW, how big a footprint does it have?  I need to know how how much desk
space to clear out for it... or is it a floor model?   :->
Now I gotta arrange a TX antenna and probably a tuner, but since you
can receive on "any old piece of coat hanger," a proper antenna can wait
a bit.   :->
BTW, took the General - Got a CSCE for the written, GOTTA work on CW!
Having the Dentron will make that a LOT easier!
Now all I have to do is find a good 2M mobile for the shack, like a
Yaesu FT-2500M, (my 2M "dream machine" - I KNOW I'll never afford a
FT-8100 dual-bander), and a heavier 12V charger than the 1 Amp one I'm
