"New" equipment - Yaesu YR-901, YK-901 and Heathkit SB-610

..New as in new for me. Last August I bough this pieces of "furniture" for the shack, I know the post is a bit late, it's already October.
Only bough them because it was relatively inexpensive, so worst case scenario (they don't work) the box's will be used for some other project, I didn't tested yet, the decoder YR-901 looks ok, the SB-610 has some changes on the CRT tube connections so will be tested first with a bulb inline and after a small revision.
Here's some images for your viewing pleasure.

The YR-901 decoder will be a nice addition to the FT-102 Line:



...Have a nice weekend!

Do you still have the YR-901 and YK-901? Would you consider selling them? I am interested and figure it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hello,
Not a the moment. The YR-901 is "stuck" in TX, still need to fix it.

Did you ever fix the stuck in tx problem? Mine is doing same, sometimes will unlatch though and go rx if I cycle the mode switch. 73’s WP4LNP

Hello WP4LNP, haven't tried to fix it yet, there's been other projects, if/when I get to it and if I get it sorted will post here, i bet will be some capacitor or power line noise, if not a transistor. 73
