4sqrp ss-40 ns-40 magic box for sale

Sorry about the incorrect subject line with this. Guess I was too sleepy to pay attention to what I was doing last night.

I have an original SS-40 Receiver, NS-40 with a 4sqrp VXO switch selectable in the same case and the Magic Box which I am ready to part with. I haven’t used them for some time but am confident they still work. Each are built into their own case which I fabricated from sheet metal from a microwave cover and computer side covers! They look pretty good if I have to say so myself.

 

If you might be interested, please contact me. I’ll consider any fair offer as I’d love to see them in someone’s hands who will appreciate them. They are great gear. I’ve just got too much and keep buying more! 😊

 

Thanks,

I have a 20 meter MFJ cub that I would part with for any reasonable offer.   If anyone is interested, e-mail me at nk8o at arrl.net.  I'm working on clearing out some of the excess stock from the shack!  (I'll never catch up...)  And I'm going to Ozarkcon, so I could leave it with someone there or mail it out.

Hi John,

I heard you at RST 329 but there was a lot of QSB.

Yes, Ozarkcon is a lot of fun - I really look forward to it.

Maybe you can try to work the K0N station they set up at the hotel.

They usually stay in the vicinity of 7030 or 7040 kHz.

Cricket 80a for sale

Martin <huyettmeh@...>
 

I’ve got a Cricket 80a with marking, © 2017 that I bought a couple years. It’s all built up. Transmitter works. Receiver works for about a second after power or key up and then fades. It is probably something simple but for the life of me I can’t find it.

 

Everything is there except the key arm which I stole to use in another setting. The one with the key jack on it is mounted.

 

If someone is interested in it make me a modest offer and I’ll likely accept.

 

Thanks,

Martin

QRP rig FS

Paul Goemans
 

Hello all,
  I am thinning the herd here. Selling my fairly rare S & S Engineering TAC 1 (40 meter) monoband transceiver. A groundbreaking QRP rig design in 1995; a PLL synthesized rotary encoder knob tuned transceiver with an LCD display, rugged aluminum case. I connected it up this morning, heard a CQ, one call, a QSO! Puts out about 4 watts on a gel cell battery, probably 5 watts with a 13.8 volt power supply. Complete with original construction/ operation manual and (optional) internal iambic keyer board. I am not the builder. So there are a straight key jack and an iambic key jack on the back panel! Keyer control pushbutton also on the back panel. Tune knob is used to change keyer settings. Tuning rates 1 kHz and 100 Hz, RIT, narrow AF CW filter. Shipped to US address for $160 PayPal or money order. A fun rig!
