VE7SYG - Ethann in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

  1. I am looking for 1 or 2 Kenwood TS60 mobile 6 meter radios in good to excellent condition working well. I have for swap a Kenwood TS440SAT complete with ALL options except for voice synthesizer. It has ALL filters installed including narrow cw and ssb. Unit comes with a mobile bracket, MC60 desk mic, hand mic, power cord and manuals. I was using this unit successfully on 20 & 80 meters until October of 2007 when I moved to a new location. I may also bargain with a MFJ 1040 RF preselector/preamp.
  2. I am looking for a Kenwood TS830S in good condition. Even if it has low output I will consider it. HV need not be ok.
  3. I am looking for a VERY good low pass filter for HF, Nye Viking or Johnson for example. Must be capable of handling 1Kw.
I can be contacted via email at ethannk@telus.net or via telephone evenings at 250-448-5354

WA6CDE - G. M. in Sacramento
Idom Press CMOS4 Keyer It is a factory assembled and tested unit. They requested I send it in for the upgrade for the chip to the newer version and have sent it back.

Also, the CMOS4 is significantly smaller than the K5 but uses the same chip. It even tells you what speed your sending at. Full documentation, cost fully assembled and tested for $124.95 plus shipping.
