2 Rebuilt ? Prop Pitch Rotors – control boxes,power supply,syncro controllers etc
$1899
ea obo or trade
I got these 2 Prop Pitch rotors recently with a tower that I bought.
That tower also has a prop pitch in it.
I do not need two spare rotors,so I will be selling everything as pictured.
It appears to be 2 rebuilt small rotors,2 control boxes by W6IMA ? as per outside of boxes.
2 Heavy duty power supply boxes with cables.
2 Syncro controllers .
I know nothing about prop pitch rotors..in fact,I had never seen one until these were delivered.
I did see a rebuilt rotor sell this week for $2500 alone,and I know Kurt K7NV was charging $3500 for a rebuilt set ready to go.
Maybe someone out there can help me with what I have ?
I don’t know what they are worth,so I will pick a number to start.
I would prefer pickup near San Diego.
Will even trade for something I can use..like a K4, kpa1500 🙂
Let’s talk,

Amazon execs may be personally liable for tricking users into Prime sign-ups
I’ve been tricked and had to cancel. In the last deceptive iteration, Prime was the first line on each item in the shopping cart. It wasn’t clear if I was signing up or not, so I didn’t place the order.

an example spectrum. After many trips up to Red Mountain, he has increased the squelch setting
to help alleviate the interference.
Ron, KG6HSQ, introduced the County’s new Genasys EVAC mapping system. The system uses
a more logical division of county areas based upon roads and neighborhoods, not just an overlaid
grid.

Ron, KG6HSQ, gave a presentation of the spurious emissions of various handy talkies. Baofeng
radios didn’t test well with a majority not passing FCC requirements. It is each amateur’s
responsibility to meet FCC regulation for spurious emissions, not just the radio manufacturer’s.
Ron will be testing radios after the meeting
on, KG6HSQ, called for anyone with a license upgrade. Forrest, KK6BYR, has upgraded to
Amateur Extra.
