FROM VE3HG
It’s the pre-Dayton clear out sale 
All equipment is in excellent to mint condition.
This is the auto tuner that tunes every antenna at power levels from 5 watts to 200 watts. I’ve used it almost exclusively at five watts with my Flex 1500 and with over 16,000 3D memories it’s super fast and accurate.
What’s really cool is the dual SWR and Power out LEDs. You can tell in an instant whether or not everything is in tune and you’ve got watts going out.
The tuner uses auto sensing so just start transmitting and the tuner immediately kicks in. This is the ideal tuner for anyone with a 100-watt rig or a QRP guy who owns an amplifier (see below for a QRP to 100-watt all-band amp).
Originally sold at $250 and now yours for $190.
Palomar RFL-TX2290LD
Originally sold by RadioWorld in Toronto to a local ham who ran mainly QRP and may have never used it. It’s in mint condition and best of all comes with the original schematic diagram. While the documentation states it runs from 14-30MHz I’ve run it from 160 to 10 meters without issue.
Five watts in gets you 125 watts out RMS or 250 watts PEP. In the real world if I remember correctly I got about 50 or 60 watts out at 160 rising to 100 watts at 20 meters and falling back to 60 watts or so at 10 meters. It has a four-position power switch and a 5-pole Chebyshev filter.
It’s good for AM/FM/SSB/CW with fully automatic mode switching and RF sensing. It draws 25 amps under full load and never got more than slightly warm to the touch. Worked great with the LDG AT-Pro II Tuner on the few occasions I used it. Helps your QRP rig get heard.
This is the perfect small amp for your 5-watt QRP rig. It’s yours for $300.
This is a 2000-watt PEP manual Drake tuner in mint condition. It will match anything and has a built in two-position antenna switch plus aux. Guys who run on 160 or 80 meters often use big manual tuners like the Drake MN-2000 as they are so robust and dependable. This one matches the Drake TR-4 series but would do any shack proud.
These popular tuners don’t come up for sale very often but when they do the usual price is $225 which is also my selling price for this one.
While I have the cable for Icom, cables for any other manufacturer are easily purchased on line. The RigBlaster Pro works on any old computer with dual serial ports. I have all the cables with the exception of the three audio cables which I’d recommend you buy new.
The RigBlaster Pro allows you to connect your computer to your rig allowing for rig control via your software, CW keying with isolation, RTTY using FSK and all the digital modes that are out there. This will get you into digital modes cheaply and easily.
I used RigBlaster Pro to connect my IC-756 to an ancient HP computer that I had a cheap dual serial port board that I installed. The system worked just fine and makes for a bullet-proof interface. Thousands of guys use this identical setup to this one.
The RigBlaster Pro comes with the original manual, CD software programs and power supply.
Selling new at $300, it’s yours for $200.
W1GEE Xcvr Computer Controller Interface
Plug one end into your Icom transceiver and the other into your computer and instant CIV-17 control functions at a fraction of the cost.
Originally sold for $30. Yours for $20. Works with CT, NA, DXWIN
and Writelog. Instantly key your rig from contesting and logging software.
New sold for $50. From me $20.
Digital Video Recorder and Cable Tuner
Finally I’ve gone to off-air TV and so I’ve got a hardly used Motorola DCT-6416 digital video recorder and cable tuner bought originally from Future Shop for around $300 on special for $230. Comes with remote. Works great.
