[Fourlanders] Dalton Ham Fest

[Bob Mantell]

Hi Bob,
 
 I have a TR-9130, TR-751a, IC-451a and a TS-600.   Below are details from earlier emails.
 
I plan to eBay whatever does not sell at Dalton.   BTW Once I get a TS-2000X, I will most likely be selling the FT-847 also.  I want to compare them side-by-side first.

The TR-751a is not 100% like new funcionaly, as it has an odd sound it makes sometimes, like a power wind up and discharge on a cap?. Does not look to have been used mobile much, if any.  I am currently using it on FM in my shack for simplex and repeaters if any of you have heard me the last 3 months on FM . Has both voice and tone cards.  TX/RX  fine, just not quite 100% right, but I will sell it with  mount/dtmf mic for $200.00, or $225 shipped, .  
 
Here are some  listings I sent out on the other rigs.     
  
I have TR-9130 that I am not using anymore, was getting ready to put it on eBay.   Has an aftermarket dip switch tone board in it, dtmf mic, but no mobile bracket.   not new in the box, but not beat up with worn off lettering.  I used it mostly for FM because there is so little 2m SSB here.  It has an aftermarket tone board inside for one tone at a time.   Most PLs around here are 100, so it worked good for repeaters. I got it from Bill at Clermont Skyland Radio, and he said it was one he used. They tuned it up and checked it out when I bought it in June. I always got great audio reports with it. I made some SSB contacts in the June VHF contest using a vertical antenna.  I have had it on a shelf for the last 3 months,  I remember is the S-meter light is not a bright as I thought it should be.  There is light, just dim .   $200. shipped, $175 in person

Plan on listing these soon, but thought I would see if there was any interest here first.    I got an 847 a few months back, so these are getting lonely on the shelf.  Plus, I am lusting after a TS-2000X now..
 
Kenwood TS-600s, nice rig I got in June with my new ticket.   Looks like it got little use over the years.  Used it on SSB with 1/4 ground plane during the summer and had a blast!   My meter says it does 10-12 watts depending on band and mode.  Worked some local FM on 52.525 also.   I did not get a mic with it so I bought a MC-50 to use with it. I also bought a Kenwood VOX-3 unit to go with it, but I never hooked it up and do not know if it works.  I will ship it well packed and double boxed  and via UPS insured.   
  Price shipped ground 48 states  $425.00 for complete package.
 
ICOM IC-451a all mode 430 MHz in the box!   I bought this rig at a hamfest in November, two weeks later found a deal on a FT-847, so I put it back in the box.   I worked satellites with it mostly as I could not find anyone on SSB local with my ground plane.  It looks brand new!  I think I was the first person to ever turn some of the knobs!   Box has paper work, packing etc.  I will  wrap the box and double box it shipped UPS  insured ground.   Price shipped  ground 48 states $300.00 
 
$50.00 off these two not shipped, or at Dalton hamfest 

73 de Bob,

Bob, what kind of monoband rigs are you selling?  Some of the
Fourlanders or I may be interested.

I also have for sale a TS=2000, not an X, that belonged to K4KAZ.  I'm
trying to sell it for his wife.  I don't think he even got to use it.  I
checked it out on Sunday and it works fine.  I had never messed with a TS-2000
and I was pretty impressed with it.  It's a lot of radio for the money.  We
were asking $1300 for it.  In the box with mic, pwr cable and din plugs.

Look forward to meeting you at Dalton, Bob
