    [wanted] WTB Xiegu QRP gear + AMP

    Hi there!

    A long shot but in the event anyone is looking to get rid of gear:

    Looking for the basic Xiegu staples

    • X5105
    • X6100
    • G90
    • XPA125B

    I've read mixed results with CW performance in these radios, but figured getting on the air is better than not in my limited spare time

    If anyone is looking to sell these items at a decent price, feel free to PM me or post here with your thoughts.

    I can't pay top dollar, but I am looking to break into HF both in the field and from home. A combination of these items will enable both cases. Not perfect, but enough to get started.

    Apologies in advance for formatting, posting via mobile.

    [Wanted] [US-IL] Broken Equipment for Halloween Props

    I'm looking to get a decent looking set of gear for my halloween haunted house setup. I'm located in Illinois and would like to pick up if possible.

    I'll be using these as props and possibly be taking them apart so I don't need them to actually work.

    I have a limited budget and would like to get what I can for free. I set up an elaborate zombie scene complete with crashed car and this year I'd like to add radio equipment playing transmissions from other "survivors." If you are local and have working equipment you don't want to part with, I would also be open to borrowing for the season.

    You can see my previous setups here:

    [FS] Icom IC-9700 with hand mic. $1400 shipped CONUS.

    I'm selling my Icom IC-9700. I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I just haven't been doing satellite stuff at all lately, so it ends up getting some use a few times a year for VHF contests, and as an easy way to check in to a local Winlink net.

    The radio is in good, working condition.
    The sale includes the power cord terminated in Power Poles, the USB cable, and the original HM-219 hand mic.
    Asking $1400 shipped to the continental US. The radio will be shipped in it's original box.
    Paypal is preferred, but I will also accept a money order, or venmo.

    [FS] LimeSDR Mini + Anodized Aluminum Case

    Hi all,

    I am selling my LimeSDR Mini assembled into the official anodized aluminum case with thermal pads. The case is absolutely necessary as the unit generates a fair amount of heat when running.

    It has been used carefully since purchasing it a few years ago. I'm selling it as I'm looking to move up to an Ettus B205mini next.

    Asking $480 CAD (or $350 USD) or best offer. I would prefer a sale local to Toronto, ON, but may be willing to ship within Canada or the US at the buyer's expense.

    [TRADE] My Xeigu G90 (HF) for your VHF/UHF Transceiver?

    Hey there! After getting my technicians license, I decided to get an HF transceiver to augment my VHF/UHF Baofengs. I've realized that I can probably have more fun in the VHF/UHF bands with a bit more kick, given that the technician-accessible HF band has been pretty dead in my area.

    So, does anyone want a very lightly used Xeigu G90? In exchange, I'm looking for a tabletop VHF/UHF transceiver that can still make use of my DM30-T power supply. Willing to talk out any quality checks and shipping preferences you might have.

    Thanks!

    [FS] Vintage Heathkit DX-100 transmitter near Louisville KY $125

    I have this 100 pound boat anchor for sale: a vintage Heathkit DX-100 transmitter $125. Very good physical condition except the two red front panel controls are damaged. Otherwise it seems solid with no rust or water damage, etc. The copper clad steel chassis has the inevitable pitting from age.

    Due to its size and weight I will not ship or deliver it- maybe you will be traveling to Hamvention or other meet and passing through the Louisville KY area in the next few weeks?

    Complete unit, and it appears to be all original and well built. I have not attempted to power it up.

    If I can't sell it in the next few weeks I may part it out, so PM me with your interests.

    Here is a link with high resolution photos and of course the signature and timestamp:
