I'm doing some spring cleanup and looking to thin out the pile. Pickup items in Keswick.
If interested in anything please message me directly: va3...@gmail.com

Icom IC-735 HF radio and matching PS-55 power supply. If you're not familiar it's a solid state rig that does 100W on 10-160m. Cosmetically this one looks like new (including original boxes) but the LCD display is messed up. Still readable and usable, good for POTA. Asking $300 (or best offer) for radio and power supply. Prefer it to go to a new ham, I'll include some other necessary accessories if it's your first HF radio. 

~36' TV tower - $20 or best offer. 
Good for light duty use. Made for TV antennas. Would work well for a small VHF or hex beam. Most of the galvanization is intact, it's discolored but no rust pitting I can see. Currently on the ground and split into 2x 16' sections. Could break down into 4x 8' sections total.

21' steel 2" pipe.
Measures 2" OD (not sure what the nominal pipe size is.) I'm using an identical one attached to my fence to support a wire antenna and it is great for that. Too heavy to be used as a tower mast. Transporting something so long was sketchy. Free to anyone willing to transport it without cutting it (otherwise I'll keep it).

Tektronix 2430 oscilloscope.
Please message me for details.

Fluke 1912A multi-counter (frequency counter).
Please message me for details.


More stuff to follow as I find it. Please message me if interested in anything (va3...@gmail.com) otherwise I'll eventually post to KWARC and/or Facebook.

Thanks and 73,
Alex VA3ASE

Hello Alex,

 

My wife and I are new HAM operators looking to grow. We are both retired and I will say that HAM is not an inexpensive hobby to get into.

As a new HAM operator, I don’t know a lot of the terminology and don’t really know if this is what I need. We are definitely interested in an HF station. After Googling the ICOM 735, I see it’s an old unit that may not have all the features needed for todays HAM operators. I am also looking for a Antenna Tuner.

So I see you want $300.00 or best offer. My best offer is $100.00. I know it’s not what you’re looking for but that’s what I can afford.

Hope to hear from you,

 

Thanks 73     V3E DWR

Hi all, still looking to sell / rehome some items. Please message me directly if interested (va3...@gmail.com).

Icom IC-735 transceiver with PS-55 power supply. The LCD display on the transceiver is unfortunately defective but still readable. Otherwise in excellent condition with accessories in original box. This is an older 100W solid-state radio which is good for SSB or CW. It is theoretically capable of digital modes but a PC interface would need to be bought or built. Can include some necessary accessories for any new hams that want to get on HF. Asking $300 or best offer. (John Petejan I replied to your emails but never got any further responses. Feel free to email again if still interested.)

Tektronix 2430 Oscilloscope and Fluke 1912A multi-counter (frequency counter). Both in need of new home. Please message me for details if interested. 

Tower and pipe are sold.

Pickup in Keswick. Please email va3...@gmail.com with interest. 

Thanks,
Alex VA3ASE
