Digital Display for older rigs

[2RT307]

Just saw 2 separate listings on the local Craigslist today for TS-520's. One was a TS-520 and the other was a TS-520SE. Both listers wanted $250 for them.

Hey Greg! Not bad if they are clean... K4EAA describes the difference between the "S" and "SE" models on his site: http://www.k4eaa.com/faq.htm

I decided to pull the trigger on the digital display. Should have it by next week. I'll post pics and a little review once I get it hooked up.

Ordered new connecting cables and knobs for a set of Drake C Line twins that I'm working on, too! Ho, Ho, Ho!

Received it yesterday, hooked it up today. It truly is plug and play (as advertised). The cable goes to the back of the unit, one for power, the other for signal. Other end goes to back of the rig and plugs into the VFO socket. It gets power from there, so no wall warts. My crystals are original, so it was not spot on. Easy to custom set though, as described in the manual. This thing is really cool.

Hard to catch the display with my phone camera and the sun shining in the window. The display is very easy to see in person. This first picture reminds me I need to rearrange my shack!

Brett, are you a Ham? I was just reading his small print on the site about selling only small quantities to licensed operators.
