Amateur Radio Equipment for Sale

Extensive range of Transceivers, RF amplifiers, Antenna tuners, SWR meters, Power Meters, Signal Generators, Multimeters, Microphones, and accessories


The following amateur radio equipment formerly belonged to John Perkins, G3PPB. He sadly passed away in November 2006 and his family are offering this equipment for sale.

John had a large collection of amateur radio equipment, many of the items having been purchased in anticipation of his move to France, thus are hardly used. Anyone who knew John will appreciate that he took meticulous care of this equipment. Many items are in 'nearly new' condition, boxed, and with user manuals.
Please note:

Prices: We are open to reasonable offers on most equipment. As we did not purchase these items and have no special knowledge of amateur radio, we are not aware of current used prices. Where possible we have quoted prices that were originally paid (for reference) and guide selling prices (to the best of our knowledge) are quoted in the right hand column.

Return/Refund: we have not been able to test any of this equipment owing to its specialised nature. We are not aware of any problems however we will certainly accept a return & refund if material problems are found (not consistent with fair wear and tear) within 30 days of purchase.

Photographs / Inspection: we are in the process of adding photographs - several have already been added, but please contact us for further photographs at any time which we will be pleased to supply. Also you are welcome to inspect items at any time.
