Dear LF Group,
I am advised by Peter Tribe G0VVE that he has
available for disposal a complete unmodified 1Kw Decca 5501 TX. It was one of the original batch of transmitters which
appeared when the Decca Navigator system closed down several years ago but never
modified.. Circuit info etc. is available.
If any of the LF operators planning to
attend the RSGB HF Conference HFC2006 this weekend 6/7/8th
October would be interested in acquiring this TX, it will be
available at the LF station GB2HFC over the weekend.to avoid shipping
costs. - Contact Derek G3GRO or Jim Moritz on the stand .
Alternatively, contact Peter Tribe after next
weekend at [email protected].
Some more items of ex-Decca gear have also recently
surfaced. One item is a lab-built test unit in an aluminium box about 30cm cube
containing all the RF bits for a single 400W TX channel with a socket on top to
accept one of the 400W plug-in TX modules for test purposes.I have run it up and
it works OK . It has the same test meter system as the main 5501 TX with RF
power measurementetc. There is also to go with it, an unused 400W module in the
original makers wrapping.
Also available is a spare 5501 output transformer
rated at 1.2 Kw RF with 3 input windings to accept inputs from three
400W modules plus a number of spare power FETs.
73, de Derek Atter
G3GRO
