Several months ago, Dan Metro W8ICN, unexpectedly passed away. Dan was a very active ham, and he maintained quite an array of ham equipment, including a considerable number of "boat-anchors". A few of us local SE Michigan hams that knew Dan worked with his family to set up a local estate sale, over the past several weekends. Quite a bit of equipment did sell.
However, there remains considerable equipment that is still available for purchase from Dan's family. The remaining equipment, all in very good shape, likely will be of interest to the extended ham community that frequents the DX 60 Net; there are a few nice AM transmitters: BW 5100, Viking 2, Valiant, Globe, etc. and much more.
The included link above has the pictures/prices and contact details for purchasing any of the remaining equipment from Dan's estate.
The site is maintained by K8AGY, and it is kept up to date as pieces of equipment are sold.
Thanks for your consideration,
Mark Oleszkowicz

I just got the newer updated version of the Noveau N-75A done and works great as the first one. The new board now has the older AGC external board incorporated now with surface mounted parts on the new board. Everything else is the same it seems and performs the same. I did add a power switch across the one on the back, so I can turn on and off from the front panel.73, Jeff / WA8SAJ... READ MORE

Just finished my first W9RAN Versa-TR Switch from Hayseed Hamfest and I put into a BUD box (tight fit). I am using it with the Noveau-75 and my SDR-Play receiver & laptop, plus other receivers in a multi-coupler system I have here. The Noveau-75 now goes through the relay box and only the SDR and other receivers are used. The Noveau-75 receiver is "NOT&... READ MORE

Above is a picture of my latest project. After doing the transceiver thing, with a CE20A, mated to a SX-115, then the next transceiver project, a 10A mated to any Drake R4 series receiver, I had an idea. Those transceiver projects have a lot of oscillators, and even the crystal oscillators can drift as they warm up, which requires re-zeroing the transmitter to the receiver from time to... READ MORE

** The .PDF file is downloadable below ***One of the biggest short comings of the DX-60 is the function switch, and the need to switch the phone operation to Push-To-Talk (PTT), which should enhance the operation and save the function switch.
