I am helping a local ham here (Claude KD5RQ) sell off his remaining ham radio gear, and he has available some radios related to the satellites that I am offering for sale. Prices included shipping in the US and paypal/check/MO/cash can be used for payment. I can send lots of photos of each item, and will do my best to describe each one below.
1. Heathkit HW-24H
Have you ever heard another ham say he is using a Heathkit on the satellites? I haven't, but here is your chance to be that ham! No, I did not assemble this myself. Standard (before they were bought by Yaesu) built these for Heathkit, and Standard made the high end FM radios in the 1990s. This radio shows it-built very tough and an excellent receiver, little or no intermod with this one. This is the same as the Standard C5200-https://www.rigpix.com/standard/c5200d.htm.
This radio does dual receive, full duplex, 50 watts on 2m and 40 watts on 70cm, transmits in the satellite portion of 70cm if you want to use it for that, and has tone encode but not tone decode. It has separate antenna jacks on pigtails for 2m and 70cm, and the receive audio on this is top notch. It has separate speaker jacks for 2m and 70cm also. The case is in good condition with one small scrape on the bottom, and a sticker with some public service memories or so on the top. It comes with a TTP mic, power cord, and original box. The manual is available on-line.
Asking $200
2. Yaesu FT8000 Mode J radio. I am calling this a mode J radio because it transmits fine on 2m-50 watts out. It transmits and receives fine on 70cm-35 watts out. It just doesn't receive much on 2m. It did pick up my HT on receive, but would not receive the local repeaters. So it is good to use on the ISS, Tevel 1-8, Lilacsat-2, UVSQ-Sat, and SO121, any satellite where you transmit on 2m and receive on 70cm. It does full duplex and will do cross band repeat also. It has the mic, power cord, and mobile bracket. Great small portable Mode J rig. Pair it up with one of the 2m radios below for full duplex with receive on 2m.
Asking $110.
3. Yaesu FT480R 2 meter all mode. This would make a good uplink for RS-44, and AO7 Mode A, or downlink with JO97 and AO7 Mode B. It does 10 watts SSB/CW/AM/FM. Doesn't have tone encode for FM but does have a jack to add an encoder. This thing is built like a tank-back from when all radios were! It comes with a mic and power cord.
Asking $150.
4. Yaesu FT2200. 2 meter FM, 50 watts out, uses a round pin mic (included). Has some velco on the case, probably from mounting it to something. Has mic and power cord, and I believe a mobile bracket.
Asking $95
5. Radio Shack HTX-242 very small 2m 45 watt FM rig. Own a piece of history by owning a Radio Shack rig! Has a little velco on the case also. Has power cord, and mobile bracket. It has a working mic but you will want to replace the mic cord as the rubber on it has completel disingrated (must have been made by Yaesu). Has original box also. I believe the mobile bracket is unused.
Asking $60.
6. Radio Shack HTX-10 10 meter SSB/AM/FM radio. Use this with #3 for AO7 mode A QSOs, or use it to drive a transverter in your satellite setup. Comes with mic and power cord. Does around 24 watts or so. Good condition overall.
Asking $80.
So there is what is available. Pair the 2m rigs with your Baofeng HT to do full duplex, or use these in some other combination
