 McKay
Dymek DR22
Model C (with ANL). These are extremely rare and well sought
after. McKay Dymek shortwave receivers were produced in limited numbers
from 1977 to 1980. They have a distinct 1970's hi-fi component style
which is somewhat unique for a communications receiver. Many early PLL
type receivers exhibited phase noise and intermod problems but the DR 22
and DR 22C were nothing short of excellent in these areas. Ideal for the
DXer or vintage home audio enthusiast to complement there rack!. It is
in very good cosmetic condition and has no faults whatsoever, it is
extremely sensitive and accurate. It comes with original full Service and Owners
Manuals, plus a couple of McKay literatures.As pers MK letters (with
docs) an i.f gain pot has been added to rear panel and the std 8kz
filter has been replaced with a 4khz, (reversable and orig 8k filter
supplied).

Was
simply ground breaking when it was released in 1973. It was aportable,
transistorized, (15, +11 diodes, 1 i.c) and above all delivered an
affordable implementation of Wadley's triple conversion lock and drift
compensating principles that made the Racal and other PLL receivers a
success.
Working well, better than average external condition,
but has badly rusted rusty bottom and damaged
battery tray. Has external power adaptor temp wired in. Missing log

(Trio) QR-666 This is the classic predecessor of the Kenwood R300
which spawned the R600, the R1000 and R2000 series and is collectable
because of it. Its a double conversion solid state receiver covering 170
- 410, 525 - 30000 kHz in AM and SSB. Features include: ¼ inch headphone
jack, S-Meter,
bandspread, ANL, antenna trimmer, BFO, dial lamp, tone
switch, RF gain, external speaker jack and record jack. The bandspread
includes the amateur bands plus the major shortwave broadcast
bands. Wide or narrow selectivity may be selected (5.0/2.5 kHz@-6dB).
This is in very nice fully working unmolested condition with original
manual also in good cond. just a few minor marks here and there.
Obviously been packed away for some time as it has not succumbed to the
discoloration of the plastic on the knobs which is a common problem.

 Very
nice example of a Yaesu FRG-8800, tested and working to spec,all
modes. The only weakness with this model was short life of the
green display backlighting bulbs, these have therefore been changed
today with blue leds that will never need changing and is EZ on the
EYES!. Note Minor defect to r.h top corner, (see photos), its not too
noticeable, cant see it front on.
The Yaesu FRG-8800 receiver combines the features of Yaesu's
previous world famous FRG series with microcomputer technology. Many new
features since the FRG-7700 have been added such as a large LCD display
with 100 Hz frequency display and unique bar graph signal meter. A 21
button keypad is provided for digital frequency entry and programming of
the twelve channel internal memory. The scanning memory stores frequency
and mode data. The modes of AM, LSB, USB, CW and FM are pushbutton
selectable. Selectable AGC rates, noise blanking, and dual tuning rates
ensures comfortable operation and easy operation. Two 24 hour clocks
provide for the display of local or universal time (UTC) and serve as
timers with remote activation. All-mode squelch, tone and attenuator are
also featured. The fine tuning control facilitates SSB, CW and RTTY
tuning. Antenna inputs are available for coaxial or wire input.
Additional frequency coverage is available with the addition of the
optional FRV-8800 VHF Converter, Complete with

AM/FM
TransOceanic Royal 3000-1
The Model 3000 is a nine-band radio, including AM, seven shortwave
bands, and—for the first time in any TransOceanic—FM. It was introduced
in the 1963 model year and manufactured until 1971, when it was replaced
by the R-7000.
The detachable WaveMagnet was eliminated in this model to make room
for the extra FM circuitry. The WaveMagnet name is still used, however,
embossed on the integral antenna mounted beneath the handle. Highly
collectable.

 Harris
RF-505A - A premium quality commercial fully synthesized general
purpose 10khz to 30Mhz HF Receiver. Modular construction made from
1974-1981. Features included, ISB, USB,LSB,AM & CW modes, preselector,
noise blanker (that works!), squelch and dual function meters. This one is in very fine condition cosmetically and
functionally. It also has the rare factory RF-512 desktop case and
RF-508 hi stability oven. The fact. power supply was known to spike the
logic in these receivers and this one has subsequently been changed (full
details provided). As a result the 28v dc for the oven is not supplied
but nor is it necessary. 110v countries will need a 220v step-up
transformer or the transformer can be changed for one that provides
12-15vac at about 1.5A or an external dc source can be used thru the
rear panel.
It will be supplied with very extensive documentation, several pounds
including tatty factory instruction & service manual which is annotated
with handwritten notes from n.z airforce technicians, lots of airforce
TM notes and 20 odd 2ft fold out pages for servicing individual modules,
excellent resource here. Also provided is a new old stock vfo link belt.

  The
rack-mounted Drake MSR-2 is a laboratory grade marine receiver
manufactured in Miamisburg, Ohio, between 1974-78. A table-top version
of the receiver, the DSR-2, was identical electrically, except that it
lacked the low frequency preselector. The MSR-2 followed the MSR-1 and
DSR-1 receivers, manufactured from 1971-74.
Operating Impressions: The MSR-2 is a fine receiver, and the noise
blanker is one of the best I've ever used. The Nixie tube displays are
easier to read than modern LCD and LED displays. The digital frequency
selection is a bit clunky by modern standards, but works well. The best
performance feature of the MSR-2 is its VLF capability. The tunable
preselector covers 10-500 kHz in four bands and renders the receiver
virtually immune to front-end overload. The receiver can withstand 1000
volts of peak RF voltage without

 Kenwood R1000's

fine but often looses the plot , displays wrong frequency and receives
nothing, seems to be okay under about 10mhz. All back lighting and
status LED's not working. This one is in very nice cosmetic order all

Has had voltage regulator and filter improvements according to prev

original owners manual and copy of same and full service manual. The
Kenwood R-1000 covers 200 kHz to 30 MHz in thirty 1 MHz bands with 1

operation are the strengths of the R-1000. Stable operation and good
selectivity combine to make this radio suitable for demanding voice or
