MONTHLY REMINDER--Our Amateur Radio Groups

Below are our amateur radio related groups. Some may be new enough there are only a few members. If one of those interests you, join it and give it some time to grow. It costs nothing and if there’s few members, it won’t be filling up your inbox while you wait for it to grow. ?

Yaesu FT-2000 Deluxe HF Transceiver,
Power Supplies, Crystal filters For Sale:

.
Yaesu FT-2000 Deluxe HF Transceiver:

The Yaesu FT-2000 follows in the tradition
of venerable FT-1000 series, and incorporates
an amazing number of advanced features from
the FT-9000 series. This rig has just about
every thing one can think of, and a bunch that
you probably would not think of.

The FT-2000 provides a full 100 watts of power
output (AM: 25 Watts) on the 160-6 Meter Amateur
bands. Superb continuous receive from 30 kHz to
60 MHz is provided.

The receiver front-end includes a VRF (Variable RF
Tuning) preselector which works in conjunction
with a bank of fixed bandpass filters. This
provides a front-line defense against strong out
of band signals. The result is improved dynamic
range and a higher intercept point than other
designs. The First IF roofing filters (3/6/15
kHz) increase dynamic range in crowded band
conditions.

Variable IF Width and IF Shift allow precise
interference rejection, and the receiver DSP
also includes an Auto-Notch, Manual Notch,
Digital Noise Reduction, and a continuously-
variable passband Contour control. The WIDTH
control has a mode-determined adjustment range
of 200 Hz to 4 kHz for SSB, and 25 Hz to 2.4 kHz
on CW. You have tremendous control over the
fidelity and/or “talk power” of your SSB signal,
thanks to the variable SSB bandwidth capability.

The DMU-2000 Data Management Unit is optional.

With this much sophistication, you might think
that everything would be buried under a dozen
menus. Although it does have menus, most of
those items are for things that are seldom
changed. The things you use the most have
knobs and buttons on the front panel, making
it easier to use.

It requires 13.8 V DC at 22 amps. An Astron
SS-30 is an ideal power supply for it.

This particular unit works as it should. It
looks like new, and is still in its original
box. It includes the color advertising brochure
with the regular manual.

Buy it for $950.

.

Astron SS-30 Power Supply:

The Astron SS-30 is a very common power
supply in ham shacks. This is because it is
just what is needed to power a normal 100
Watt HF rig, with a little bit extra to spare.

It supplies 13.8 V DC at up to 30 amps
intermittent, or 25 amps continuous.

It is a switching type power supply, so it
is quite light weight. I have used several
of these, and have never found any switching
noise.

This one has a very slight positive modification
As supplied by Astron there is no indication of
when the power is on. A small light has been
added to the right of the power switch to
indicate that power is on.

This one works 100% as it should, and looks
very close to new.
Buy it with paper work for $100


SS-30 M
As above, but with analog voltmeter and
analog ammeter.
With paper work for $120

.

Yaesu FP-707, 20 Amp Speaker/Power Supply For Sale:

The Yaesu FP-707 is a 20 amp 13.8 Volt DC
Power Supply, with a very nice front facing
speaker in the same enclosure.

Cosmetically, it matches the FT-707, FT-747,
FT-757 and likely others.

Electrically, it can provide up to 20 amps,
so will work with most any HF and/or VHF rig.
It also has a set of binding posts on the back
for easy connection of a rig in addition
to the HF rig.

The speaker has a 3.5 mm plug on it.

This particular unit is in very good shape
both electrically and cosmetically. I can
not find a scratch, dent, or ding on it.
Electrically, it works as it should.

Buy this unit with manual for $115

.

Yaesu Crystal Filters:

I have a variety of crystal filters available
that fit Yaesu rigs.
All of these filters work 100% like they should,
and look great also.

The following filters are for the 8.2 MHz IF.
They fit the FT-1000 series, plus many, many others.
If you have a fairly modern Yaesu rig, they probably
fit, but check you manual.

Yaesu XF-8.2M-251-01, 250 Hz CW
filter for the 8.215 MHz IF. $75

Yaesu XF-8.2M-202-01, 2000 Hz SSB
filter for the 8.215 MHz IF. $75


The following filters are for the 455 KHz IF.
They fit the FT-1000 series, FT-890, plus many others.
If you have a fairly modern Yaesu rig, they probably
fit, but check you manual. As a general statement,
the filters for the 455 KHz IF are sharper, with
steeper skirts.

XF-455K-501-01 (YF-100)
500 Hz wide for CW $115

.

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.

Could it be that the RX frequency is different than the TX frequency? You may
already have ruled this out, but if you haven't, you can have someone on the
other end of a QSO first tell you what frequency their radio says they are
transmitting on, then have them tune in your signal for best audio and tell you
what frequency they say you are transmitting on.

It's probably not that simple, but if it is, you could just make adjustments to
the RIT circuit.

Another thought came to my mind. Are you using voice compression? If so, turn it
off and get some signal audio reports.

Yaesu XF-122 C, 500 Hz Collins Mechanical
Filter For Sale:

I have a Yaesu XF-122 C, 500 Hz Collins
Mechanical Filter For Sale. It is sometimes
called a YF-122 C. It also has the 528-8686-030
Collins number on it. It is for a 455 KHz IF.

My understanding is that it fits YAESU FT-817/
857/897/818, and maybe others.

It includes the PC board with connectors.

This one works 100% as it should. It also
looks like new, as if that matters for a
filter inside a rig.

Buy it for $250, plus shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
