Yaesu FT-1000MP HF Transceiver.
Here is a FT-1000MP, the well-known, well-loved high performance transceiver. The radio works perfectly. It comes with the hand mic, manual, and box. Of course it has been cleaned up with the Key Klix modification, as well as the Inrad CW "Bonus Mod" to make CW listening more pleasant, and has 60m transmit enabled.

8.2MHz IF Filters: 2.4kHz, 500Hz.
455kHz IF FIlters: 6k, 2.4kHz
Subreceiver Filter: Stock SSB + (presently installed, but optional) 500Hz Crystal filter
Inrad CW "Bonus Capacitor Mod"
Key Clicks modification--"neighbor approved"
AGC Improvement Mod
Transmits on 60m
N6RO "Red RIT" knob cover (as shown in the photo--it comes off if you don't like it!)
Other accessories are available for sale with the radio (or separately).

Minature 100W transceiver with DSP. Comes with Operators Manual, Service Manual, remote head mounting bracket (MB-63), remoting cable (OPC-581), microphone, and original box. The 500Hz optional filter is available. The radio works "good as new" and has never been installed in a vehicle.

Other accessories available:
FL-100 500Hz filter
OPC-581 11-foot Separation Cable (cable allowing remote mounting of the front faceplate)

SBE SB2-LA HF Linear Amplifier.
This is a compact 80m through 15m power amplifier. It is in very nice condition and produces full output. I've added a full-time muffin fan on top of the amplifier to cool the tubes and add to their service life. If you are a SBE collector, fear not: the fan is attached only with double-sided tape and will come off quickly without leaving a trace. Please note that this amplifier has never been used in a contest.
Summary:
Wired for 120VAC operation
Rapid-ON (no long warm up delays)
Original Box
Manual (photocopy)
Includes interface cable for operation with non-SBE transceivers (normal GND-to-Transmit)

MFJ-986 3kW Differential-T Antenna Tuner
Easy to adjust design uses only two controls: a roller inductor and a variable capacitor (two capacitors ganged in a differential configuration). This tuner is rated for operation from 160m through 10m at 3kW. Built-in switching for three antennas. Includes original box, manual, and packing material.

Dentron RT-3000 160m - 10m Antenna Tuner
Very high quality, full power antenna tuner. Two large variable capacitors and smooth roller inductor. Includes original manual.

Bencher BY-1 Iambic Paddle
Black base. Well used, works perfectly.

Bencher RJ-2 Hand Key (chrome).
Uniquely designed hand key. Never used.
