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.

Summary of Installed Filters and Options:

  • 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).

  • Inrad Roofing Filter (plug-in board)
  • Inrad Noise Reduction/sensitivity improvement (plug-in board)

    Icom IC-706mkII HF/VHF/UHF Transceiver

    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.

    What you get:

  • IC-706mkII
  • UT-106 DSP unit (installed)
  • HM-103 hand mic
  • Instruction Manual and summary card
  • Service Manual
  • Box, etc.

    Other accessories available:

  • FL-100 500Hz filter
  • OPC-581 11-foot Separation Cable (cable allowing remote mounting of the front faceplate)
  • MB-63 Front Panel Mounting Bracket

    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.
