[pistolero]

Been wheelin and dealin today. Guy getting out of cb, got his amateur liscense. Traded him a shotgun for this haul, mostly like new hardly used:

 

[Mudfoot]

Wow! Nice haul.

I never find deals like that.

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

What was the shotgun?

 

[pistolero]

Mossberg 930SPX.

 

[Lil'Yeshua]

Mossberg 930SPX.

That is a deal!
Mossberg 930 SPX - Keep it? Sell it? What is it worth?

 

[Mudfoot]

I was rooting for an old H&R Topper. Lol.

Darned good old guns.

 

[n0zna]

well to me looks like a good trade,i would of kept the hr2510 the rest i would swap off...hehe good trade...i got rid of all my stuff to but my old Siltronix,its only 10 and 12,no 11mtrs...and my only 11 mtr radio is a old MARK Sidewinder and a NIGHTRIDER by Cherokee ...all my rangers are just 10 and 12 mtrs,i think you guys came out even...73 de n0zna

 

[pistolero]

It's actually an hr2600. I gather from a search here that the chips to convert them to 11 meter are about gone.

 

[Mudfoot]

They are rare.

 

[pistolero]

So that can go I guess. I'll hook up the Superstar in my son's room. He's a little guy and is impressed by the big one with all the buttons. Might put the Magnum S9 in the Jeep.

 

[pistolero]

Still going through the another box of mikes and cords and stuff. There's even a D-104 in there that didn't make it in the pic, but I don't remember what radio he said it was wired for.

 

[n0zna]

thats even better for ham,the hr2510 dosnt have repeater offset...

The Base Radio in the lower left corner, looks like a Maycom Model BS-27 SSB ( Super Star 4900-B) Radio, can you post a better picture of that radio?
That is a rare find if that is what it is and is a very cool Radio.
Be VERY VERY careful NOT to plug another Mic into the Mic connector!!
Pin number 6, the center Pin in the factory Mic has 13.8 Volt DC on it and shorting it to the other pins can ROAST the Microprocessor in the radio.
It is virtually impossible to find a replacement CPU!!!

Here is Some Info About the radio in a post I made several years ago.....

The fatal flaw was the Mic wiring.
Every dead one that i know of died the same death, plug in the wrong aftermarket Mic, and fry the CPU.
The Mic Supplied with the radio had many functions that is why it was powered from the radio.
I read the owners manual and there was NO warning in the book about using another mic..... Major Mistake.
i like the look...reminds me of the TS 570 Kenwoods.



The features were amazing.
23.815 Mhz to 30.555 Mhz Continuous Coverage (Requires Export Mod)
Single Chip Microprocessor Controller (LC72338)
Clarifier Control Tracks Both Transmit And Receive (SSB Approx. 40Khz)
Programmable Memory Function (Stores Favorite Frequencies)
Backlit Liquid Crystal Display (Frequency, Channel, Functions Menu)
Digital Meter Scale Displays Signal, Power Output, SWR and Modulation
Dual Watch Mode (Allows Monitoring Two Freq. Simultaneously)
Red/Green Transmit/Receive LED Indicator
Two Antenna Connectors on Rear Panel, Push Button Front Panel Select
Noise Blanker/Automatic Noise Limiter
Roger Beep (Switchable )
Variable Mic Gain Control
Variable Receive RF Gain Control
AM/FM/USB/LSB Operation
25 Watts Variable RF Output Power SSB (2SC2166 X1 - 2SC1969 X2)
10-15 Watts Variable RF Output Power AM (2SC2166 X1 - 2SC1969 X2)
Four Step Dimmer lamp Control
Split Frequency Capability for Repeater Use
Dual Power - 120VAC Operation or 13.8 VDC Operation
DTMF Page Mode (Touch Tone Paging)
DTMF Auto Reply Function (Touch Tone Auto Signaling)
DTMF Coded Squelch Operation (Receiver Muted Until Special DTMF Received)
DTMF Encoder Pad (Allows Direct DTMF Frequency Entry)
5 Pin DIN Jack on the Back Panel for PACKET Radio
Scan Feature
Automatic Squelch control
Channel 9/19 feature
The Radio also featured a Jack on the Back that you could plug a Outboard Analog S Meter into if you did not like the built in Digital S Meter ( like the Yaesu FT 897 Radios)
Some one should get Maycom Co in S Korea to build these again, I think it would prove to be a Good Radio.
Add protection on the CPU from the Mic error, maybe a wide/narrow filter option, A cooling fan for the radio/power supply..this thing would blow the new ranger "base" out of the water.

The HR2600 should be left alone without the ChipSwitch...although there are ways to get it on 11 meters none of them are worth hacking the radio for.
Save it as is if you think you will ever get your Ham Ticket or look to offer it for sale.....it is a sad thing to see one get hacked up.

No problem, it's right here by my computer. It is a 4900b.

Very Nice, take care of it, not to many of that radio are alive today.
Yes indeed, Good score.
