assistant: I have an old Schafer radio automation clock for sale.  It was formerly
installed at WGHB-AM 1250 in Farmville NC and was working fine when removed
from service.  It contains a rather fascinating electromechanical movement
nd
uses "nixie" tubes in its time display.  It would be perfect for ham or
hobbyist experiments which call for a regular time pulse.  $100 + shipping,
please e-mail me direct if interested.

Write your reply.

assistant: I'll place this bid on the list with about 4 others.
High split means 42 - 50. They will make the swing up to 6 meters. They are
currently rocked up on 52.525 and a few other repeater pairs. They put out 75
watts up there. They are 4 channel. They have noise blankers. These are the
mobile units. Shipping would be rather expensive as these are large and
heavy. I have the complete set of GE manuals and they come with all
ascessories. Any more info needed?

Write your reply.

assistant: *** On 07 Oct 96  23:54, Dino Apolonio did say (to All,) this:
Ramsey makes a VOX switch kit (seems like it's # VX-1, but not sure) that'll
hook the 'line out' from a sound card to the 'mic in' on an HT....  does that
sound like it would work for you?  The kits were ~$12 last I knew.
It's what a buddy of mine uses (with RepeaterLink and I-Phone software) to
hook his repeater to the internet (through the IPhone server).  The
RepeaterLink software queries the FCC site to verify callsigns before
allowing login (and transmission over the repeater(s))....  the HT has a
small tri-beam aimed at the repeater, so uses only 300 milliwatt output to
hit it clean.

  +price is right.  Isn't the HW-101 the 20 meter version??
Don,
   I have the power supply (quite heavy) which has a meter showing 365.4
hours usage.  I also have the original Heath manual.  The unit is a 200
w PEP SSB/CW tube transceiver covering 3.5, 7, 14, 21, 28, 28.5, 29,
29.5 MHz HAM bands.  The RIT mod reflects a toggle switch installed
directly below the S-Meter and a small calibrated dial pot installed to
the left of the S-Meter.  Otherwise the unit is stock.
   I've only used it for a few hours in the receive mode where it was
compared to a modified Yaesu FRG-7 and Sony 2010 (modified with
a Collins mechanical IF filter).  Stability was very good after
sufficient warm up but voice quality was mediocre.  That due to the
stock speaker.  I hooked up an inexpensive RS speaker through the
external speaker jack and the sound quality was greatly improved.  A
licensed friend checked out the transmitter with a dummy load and
pronounced everything sat.  This was all about 4 years ago.  The unit
hasn't been fired up since.  The HAM in Sacramento that I bought it
from was the original owner/builder.
   I'd like to sell the HW-101 with the Yaesu YD-844 mike and chrome
Bencher paddle/MFJ keyer.  I figured around $195 plus shipping would be
fair based on what I paid for the package, but make me an offer.  I'd
also be willing to throw in the Robot 800 and manual gratis.  It's an
interesting piece of history.  That power supply is fairly heavy so I'd
expect the UPS charges to LA would be into double digits.  I've got
plenty of proper packing materials to protect the tubes as installed so
that shouldn't be a problem.

John,
What I have is a 386sx/16 motherboard from a PS/2 Model 55.  It was
working when I pulled it out for a 486 board replacement.  It has been in
the closet for about 18 months (static wrapped in a padded box).  I have
no way of testing it since I do not have the rest of the machine...  (it
was a core trade from one of my customers.)
I also have an 1814 video card, a SCSI controller, an ethernet card, and
some other random micro channel stuff that will work with it.  (All of the
cards have been tested recently, and I can certify that they work fine.)
You can have as little or as much of it as you want. Make me a resonable
offer... =)
