I have a NIB QRZ Industries uVB-1 Voice Digitizer. It's a cigarette size circuit board that was intended for a contest voice keyer. Never got around to incorporating it into a keyer. I believe it holds about 8 seconds of voice. Old technology by todays standards.
Next I have a Realistic Pro-30 hand held scanner, 16 channels, VHF/UHF goes from 30 mHz to 512 mHz. I probably still have the manual for it. It takes 3 watch batteries for the memory and AA's for the radio. It works perfectly. All that I ask is that you be a ham. |

Partial parts kit for a QRP SWR meter. I don't remember where and when I picked it up, but it includes the small parts, a photocopy of the article on how to build it, and a small meter movement. You have to supply the case and connectors. You have to wind two toroids (included). Cleaning house and if I haven't built it yet I never will, so I just want it gone.
I also have a few crystals in the ham bands I can spare if anyone wants them: (2) (1) 3.541 MHz (4) 3.579545 MHz (colorburst xtals) (4) (3) 7.159090 MHz I also have a crapload of unmarked crystals, and I'm too lazy to build a circuit to figure out what they are. They appear to be two or three distinct types. I can include some if interested. |

Any and all help/offers/mentorship is appreciated. This is a pay it forward thread... check out this thread and a couple good websites I found usefull. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_10_22/646491_the_CAN_T_FAIL_thread_for_getting_a_ham_radio_license_and_learning_basic_VHF_UHF_operations.html&page=28&anc=11290249#i11290249 http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_10_22/486162_Everything_you_wanted_to_know_about_ham_radio_but_were_too_confused_to_ask_.html www.hamexam.org www.hamwhisperer.com/ As far as equipment what are you looking to do? VHF? HF? Portable short range comm? Portable long range comm? Base station in your house? Mobile in your vehicle? I would start a thread with what you want to accomplish, your knowledge base, your funding and then we can give advise from there. You can get a basic/ cheapish HT (hand held) that will allow you to operate VHF and UHF and utilized repeater systems for the 100 range. You can put a mobile in your vehicle along with a good antenna in about the 200 range. Unless you know what used stuff to look for a new HF rig will run you 500+. Feel free to send me a message if you have more specific questions. I would be glad to help. |

I'll send you a Motorola UHF HT with charger as well. Tough as woodpecker lips but not frequency agile like ham gear. You can find a local ham or a Motorola shop to program it to your local frequencies.
Get your General in the same sitting and I'll send a 10m FM rig. It is a converted LMR (Business Band) rig as well PM me an address. |

Hey, guys. I'm looking to take Tech through Extra in one fell swoop. My mother is 66 and she wants to do the same. We are looking for the manuals as neither of us do well reading a monitor for a long time. We will be happy to contribute to the community once we test.

It's just looking at a monitor for too long loses me. It might have something to do with the fact that we are both terribly dyslexic. Also, we have taken it as a challenge to do all three.

Look in to Ham Test Online. If you get bored you log out, then when you come back it picks up at The section you left off. Let it do The work of keeping track of where you are and what you have to do. Also if it tells you you are ready to schedule a test, and you do and then fail it, you can get your money back.

From a SK estate. Deal is that the local club members get first dibs then after that it goes out for the general ham community. I'm posting it now so if you're interested you can start planning. Cutoff date for the club members is 05 June 2013.
70 FT ROHN 25 TOWER WITH KT-34XA 6 ELEMENT BEAM, SEVERAL UHF & VHF AND INVERTED VEE ANTENNAS AND ALL COAX AND ROTOR: FREE, NEED TO TAKE DOWN AND HAUL OFF. The note in the email stated that as long as the tower and antenna can be professionally taken down, it's yours. I'd jump on it but I can't have a tower due to HOA restrictions.
