Despite working at the food booth for the Milford Hamfest, I did get some time to get into the boneyard. I came back with a few things.
Astron SS-25M. Yes, the price sticker says “Bad”. No power output. It can be fixed – Astron makes some good products, and I’m sure I can find the schematics online.
Footswitch. Dear reader, you didn’t think I’d use the wooden one forever, did you? 🙂
Kenwood TM-201A. Works, but has quirks (some may be by design – like the fact that I have to use an external speaker!). Power output was 6 watts, although I didn’t play with the power level switch to see if it would go up to 25 watts. I do like the slide-out bracket it uses.
Another view of the Kenwood.
AEP PK-232 Packet TNC.
Parts. I looked through several bags and picked ones with parts I really want. The meter was partly to round up to $4, although I’m sure I’ll use it, too.
Not a bad haul.
