Power Supply, Microphone, Filter,
Mobile Bracket, Linear Amp T/R cables,
Crystals and more For Sale:
.
Kenwood PS-430 Power Supply:
The Kenwood PS-430 power supply provides
13.8 VDC at 20 Amps intermittent. Ripple
voltage is less than 20 mV at 13.8 VDC and
15 A. Input is 120/220/240 VAC.
This is a linear power supply, so no need to
worry about noise from a switching supply.
The rear panel has a hardwired Kenwood
power cable (6 pin molex connector) to connect
directly to the TS-120/130/140/430/440/450
and others. Actually it will work fine with any
rig that uses the 6 pin molex plug, including
Icom and Yaesu and others.
There are also "plus" and "minus" terminal
outputs (10 Amps max) on the back, useful for
a VHf/UHF rig.
A snap-down tilt bail is on the bottom panel
to increase the operating angle.
6.8 x 3.75 x 9.675 inches 15.4 lbs.
This one works like it should, with great output.
Cosmetically it is average. Not exceptional
like most of the gear I sell.
With paper work for $100
.
Kenwood MC-43 Hand Microphone:
The Kenwood MC-43 is the standard hand
microphone used with many, many Kenwood
rigs. It has a round 8 pin connector and will
work with most any Kenwood rig that takes
this connector.
The top of the mic has up/down buttons to
change the frequency.
This one works as it should, and looks fine.
With paper work for only $35.
.
Kenwood MB-430 Mobile Bracket:
The Kenwood MB-430 is the mobile bracket
that is used to mount the Kenwood TS-430,
TS-440, TS-450, R-5000 and maybe others.
This one is in nice shape and includes
the four screws (and washers) for attaching
it to the rig.
These are no longer made and are somewhat
rare.
Buy this one for $45.
.
InRad CW Filter for Kenwood:
This CW filter is 400 Hz wide,
striking a good middle ground between 500
or 600 Hz filters, and 250 Hz filters.
In addition to CW, it can also be used
for narrow digital work.
It is an InRad filter, which most people
consider superior to other filters.
It was used in a Kenwood TS-940,
although I am fairly certain that it can
be used in most other Kenwood rigs, and
probably some non-Kenwood rigs as well.
It works fine, and looks great as well.
InRad 88 H 400 (also known as #103)
This one is used on the 8830 KHz IF, and is
400 Hz wide.
$100
.
Linear Amp Switching Cables for Kenwood Rigs:
This cable goes from a Kenwood transceiver to a linear
amplifier to switch the amp from transmit to receive.
One end has a DIN connector, as is used with most Kenwood
rigs. The other end has an RCA phono plug, as used by most
linear amplifiers.
Before using this cable, please check the switching
capabilities of your transceiver, and the requirements
of your amplifier.
Cable for switching the T/R relay Only $15.
Cable with ALC control, in addition to T/R switching. $20
.
Crystals:
I have a set of three crystals that are used to
return the Kenwood Hybrid rigs to 10 meters,
after they have had the original crystals changed
to 11 meters.
Specifically, they are HC-25 crystals for 33.50,
34.00, and 34.50 MHz. They are labeled as
being for the TS-820, but I think all of the
hybrids use the same frequencies.
These crystals are $35 for the set of three.
.
Kenwood Heavy Duty Weighted Tuning Knob:
This knob is a special tuning knob, about 2 1/4
inches in diameter, so just right for most Kenwood
rigs. It is weighted, so one can give it a spin,
and it continues to go.
This one looks perfect, and is still in its
plastic bag.
Only $80.
.
I have parts for a Kenwood TS-440 available.
Hopefully we can keep a couple units working
and looking nice using these parts.
The complete "back end" is available. This includes
the finals and associated PC boards, the large
heat sink, the power connector, and other parts
on the back of the rig.
The rear part of the bottom cover is presently
available.
It looks very nice, and might improve the
looks of your rig.
The small little silver rectangular buttons
are still available.
The complete final module and heat sink assembly
is available.
The "IF" internal PC board is available
as well.
Most small PC boards, such as selectivity switch,
mic jack, front panel push buttons, etc. are
available.
The automatic antenna tuner is NOT available.
Please let me know what you need.
.
I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories,
etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.
.
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
