>    TT Orion II for sale, just over 1 year old.  The accessory package
> that came with it, including cables, wrench(s), and masc.  stuff has
> never been opened.  I just used the accessories from the Orion I. It
> looks and works like new.  Quite good DX worked with it.  Outstanding
> receiver and operational options.  CW band width to 100~.  Adjustable
> rise time on leading edge of cw characters.  Easy to operate.  Stereo
> feature such that the tuning thru a cw signal will move from rite to
> left or the reverse, from ear to ear.  Built in or your external cw
> keyer.  Tx is easily sent to main RX or 2nd RX.  Main ham bands
> only.  5.1 to 5.42 MHz band included.  Secondary Rx covers 500KHz to
> 30MHz.  320x 240 pixels, TFT color screen with CCFL backlighting.  5.25
> x 17.p x 18.75 H x W x D inches.  Weighs 20 Lb.  Al chassis, steel
> cabinet, glass-epoxy PC boards.  PC control port EIA-232 standard,
> DE-9F     Asking $3300.00

> Amplifier 87A.  50 to 55 watts input for full legal out put from 1.8 to
> 29.7 MHz.  Works up to 1.5 SWR.  If high as 2.0, can be tuned
> manually..  Over load protective functions quickly trip the power to
> prevent damage.  The LED bar graphs show status of voltage, currents,
> forward power and reflected power.  The QSK circuit is PIN diodes.
> Input swr typically is less than 1.5:1.  Power is 2 each 3cx800A7 Eimac
> grounded grid tubes.  These are rated at several thousands of hours.
> The filament time on these tubes is 261 hours and 47minutes.  It is
> wired for 240 volts and 20Amp fuse.  The power transformer must be
> removed when shipping.  Original boxes are still available with a small
> piece of plywood in the transformer box for strength.  I have manual for
> the amplifier and for the Alpha Remote and AlphaMax software.  I have
> not used this feature but I believe that it can work with auto antenna
> rotation and amplifier tuning.  This unit cost $6430 which includes a
> power supply fan.  The fan switch on the rear is easy to reach over to
> top.  The present tubes are superior than the original, as the grid
> current runs much lower for the same power out.     Asking $4750.00.
>
>    If purchased together, will settle for $7500 for both the Orion and
> Alpha 87A
