Absolutely right. If anyone really wants to hack around with this
stuff I have a couple of Northstar LORAN-C units sitting around
without antennas or couplers. They were first class units in their
day and have SO-239 coax connectors on the back.



I have someone Christmas gift, too. I have a perfectly good-working
Stephens Engineering SEA-106 HF synthesized SSB Marine transceiver with
microphone and NO CABLES OR COUPLER in first class condition I'll give to
the first person who shows up to pick it up. If you have a SEA-106, or
know someone who has one, this one hasn't a scratch. It was at the main
helm of a motoryacht, inside in the air conditioning, all those years.
It's owner said it had been removed when they restored the helm's
woodwork and made a new panel for new gear. Someone threw out all the
cables and coupler which was dumped in another box away from the
transceiver. Sorry.... He said it was working when uninstalled, but he
wanted a marine radio that would work with his new ham license more
easily.

The power plug is marked with + and - and "ON" terminals, which I assume
is a remote power switch to just jumper out. I have no book, no cables,
as it was handed to me after installing a new Icom M802 on the boat. I
never turn down free stuff, even if I have no clue....

Of course, it comes with a full money-back guarantee....(c;

Munge up your email address and post it in reply if you want it....PICKUP
ONLY in Charleston, SC.

I will see that and raise you a Stephens SEA112 with coupler. With
the right incentives I might also throw in a Wood Freeman auto pilot
assembly (chain drive). It is a mechanical marvel and only weighs 50
pounds or so.

You know if we keep this up we'll end up with S/V "Newsgroup", a nice old
Morgan OI 41 loaded with antique electronic gear, for next Christmas...(c;

Larry, I can supply a complete Manual for that SEA-106, if someone wants
to photocopy my Shop Manual. These are a bit dated and you have to check
the Prom Version to make sure it has the latest Frequency Lineup, as
the FCC/ITU did change the channel configurations for MF/HF Marine
Systems back in that day.... I also have complete Master Prom Sets for
ALL the SEA Radio's that have the later FCC/ITU Frequnecy Lineups.
Does your Radio have the two Frequency dials on the front panel, or is
it the Prom only version.

Maybe we could have a NewsGroup Auction...with the proceeds going to
some Marine Electronics Foundation for Educating of Mariners.....

I got a whole warehouse (Dry Storage) full of Boat Anchor Marine
Electronics.....

There are two knobs. One marked USA and one marked Europe receive. The
display is LED above them. There seems to be no frequency knobs. The
switch under the display is in Mhz for the various bands. There are 16
channels on each band, I suppose, right? I've never used it. It sat here
for a year and is useless to me. It's very nicely made...like something
you'd put on an Alaskan trawler...(c; There's a push button marked USA -
Europe to switch the channels, probably for the old duplex telephone
company channels.

Free for the asking....a sign of how popular HF is getting to be.

I figured if someone was using one, they'd like a free spare for parts or a
hot-swap-at-sea spare.

One of my ham friends, the finest guy you'd ever encounter, has a little
"collector fetish", too. He collects military stuff he finds interesting.
I haven't been in his living room in 15 years, since the little path
between the piles filled in. It's right up to the living room ceiling,
just like the SeaLand containers and huge storage barn in his back yard....

When I need hard-to-find parts to fix old organs, especially ICs, I know
who to ask before internet....(c;

Yep, that is the Prom only version. A better version is the one with
two sets of Thumbwheel Switch groups, that can be used to set the Tx and
Rx frequencies from the front panel. There are a bunch of hams that use
these for digital operations. There is also a LSB option for the 106 as
well, if your rich and famous.....
