Mountain Topper MTR4b v2.3 - For Sale
Hey all -
I have an LNR MTR4b v2.3 in excellent condition for sale (see attached images). ?It operates flawlessly with very few hours on it.? This unit is from the last batch that was sold last year so has the most up-to-date hardware revisions and firmware.?
These are no longer in production as of last year, and there is no telling if LnR will release these again.? This transceiver covers 80m/40m/30m/20m, weighs less than 8 ounces, and has a very quiet noise floor.? This is one of the more popular and well-respected
QRP CW radios on the market.? From the ¡°official¡± product listing:
?
-
Side tone Frequency Adjustment (New in version 2.3)
-
Side tone Volume Adjustment (New in version 2.3)
-
Improved access to coin battery (New in version 2.3)

Red Gloss enclosure (New in version 2.3)
-
Switch selected 80/40/30/20 meter bands (no band modules to lose or change out)
-
Heavy Duty Slide Switches
-
Machined Aluminum Enclosure
-
Four bands ¨C 80M, 40M, 30M and 20M
-
Very low receiver noise floor

Low current for maximum battery life
-
Wide operating voltage range ¨C 5.5V to 13V
-
Full 5W ¡°QRP¡± gallon with 12.0 Volt supply
-
2 line, back lighted LCD display
-
SWR ¨C RF Power display
-
Built in Real Time Clock

Internal Iambic B mode keyer, 5 to 31 WPM in 1 WMP increments.
-
Three Morse message memories with beacon mode

?
The manual can be downloaded from
and the product page with other details can be viewed at
?
Included with this sale are the transceiver with a BNC dust cover.? You will need to provide a 5.5mm with 2.5mm pin power cable; remember that this radio is rated for between 5.5V and 13V, so powering it from a Talentcell or a PD 12V cable (or a 9V battery)
would work.
?
Sold as-is with no returns or refunds.?
$350? -- most common digital payment platforms are acceptable, as well as cash.? I can meet you within a reasonable distance of Simi Valley!

Good morning.? The Ventura Marathon is set for this coming Sunday Feb 23rd.? Predicted weather is dry with an overnight low of 45 in Ojai and an afternoon high of 70 in Ventura.? We are currently fully staffed for the race but could always use a couple more folks as ¡°standbys¡± ready to step in for any last minute drop outs.? Additionally, we could really use an additional driver for the event, specifically to deliver T-shirts to all of the Ham participants at all of the Aid Stations, Start lines, etc.? You would not need to have a mobile radio, although that would clearly be a plus.? If you do have a mobile radio, we can provide you with an APRS tracker and you could continue as an additional SAG for the remainder of the race, but that would be entirely optional.? If you are interested and willing to volunteer to do this, please contact me directly at bjauerbach@... or call me at 805-559-9314
?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Event: 10M Local Net 1600 PDT 28.395 USB - Sunday, February 9, 2025
#cal-reminder
Heads up that I have a bad case of vertigo and will not be driving to Poinsettia Pavilion today. The vertigo started yesterday, and thankfully is a lot better today but I still shouldn't be driving.
I will try and operate 10M from my house but I know I don't have good coverage there.? Hopefully some of the other regular 10M folks with bettery?'ears' can act as net control.
Thanks, Dave AI6VX

Hi All,
Just dropped a new video in the "Testing Radios. Radio Output Tests And Results." Series. This is a group of videos that cover radio tests with a new compact video format...
Here is a link to the new video that covers the Yaesu FT-60R:
And for future reference or sharing with others, here is the link to the playlist:
Let me know if you like the new format of multiple videos to cover subjects...
