Here's a good one. Here we have a Dentron 1200L with burned up 572b tubes and the guy thinks its worth $450. I believe he'll be sitting on this one for a while. https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/ele/d/tampa-dentron-dtr-1200l-linear-amplifier/7381654350.html

The problem is the breaks in the supply chain that covid caused worldwide. Its still rippling because of the variants . Parts are hard to get and therefore its simple supply and demand. Hope youre not planning to buy a car new or used any time soon.

Welcome! A lot of hams will tell you the ranger 10/12 meter radios arent very good amateur rigs. If it were me id sell the ranger if it works like it should and put that money on an icom 7300 since you plan to get your ticket. A much better choice that will still allow you to sound good on 11...

Lmao, mine is in his 30's and i just told him i took out a $100k life insurance policy this week and he says "shit, i need to wait a couple months and get you to the top of a tall staircase. " Damn kid

Unfortunately i do not. I remember i started out using their measurement and worked from there.

Customizing can be fun but never holds value. If it were me id go this route https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/ico-ic-7610?cm_mmc=ppc-google-_-search-_-brands-_-keyword&gclid=CjwKCAjw-ZCKBhBkEiwAM4qfF4m8-A462ljCkV6Gnrm73gb8YkLRxCoBmLI-tBhyzzhupn_IvshDXBoCuU8QAvD_BwE

Agreed AND its not cheap to properly ship one of these "black base" radios either. Nomad agreed to refurb the 2995dx i bought a few years ago and it was $85 from Florida to Kentucky. So thats another $170 just for traveling. Of course that doesn't include the new supply and install and any...

I had my v5000 tuned pretty good but could never find resonance. Then i had to replace the hoop and it was nothing but a problem after that. I also had issues with large birds and owls perching on my antenna. Prices are up on everything but when i bought my colossal several months ago it was...

D104 m6b seems to be popular. D-rail sells a modified d104 though the price is a little steep but im very happy with mine. If you plan to run power think about a quality clip on ferrite for your mic cord. If you buy from d-rail it comes with one. The astatic 878dm would be my desk mic choice...

First you will want to replace ALL the hardware and replace it with stainless. Second, i found that this antenna is a bitch to tune even with a good antenna analyzer because of how many different points affect the tuning. Where your hoop bracket mounts to the base, your feed point on the hoop...

Any time i buy used shit like this ill ask for inside pics then send those to someone who will eyeball it and tell me whether to negotiate or walk away.

Dont know. I dont do fb so i dont know whats been said just what was in the vid.

We've lost another radio brother, Mr Black. Im going to miss our long distance late night conversations.

Americans have been living outside their means for decades. You might get that raise to $20 but your hours will be cut in half. Careful what you wish for.

Sweet, i was getting ready to post this and walk away lol. Hopefully ill be buying a 7300 early next year. Glad you like yours...

Do yourself a favor and buy a high flow fan to mount on your heatsink otherwise you'll be burning up finals. It gets very hot with the upgrade even with fairly short keys. I harvested a fan from a switcher supply that burned up and used drywall anchors and screws to mount it to the heatsink...
