Greetings fellow listers,
Jim WB2FCN here. To advise you folks that the E-pay
site, has an HT-32 transmitter listed by seller hamstuff4u.
This is a bogus listing, as 1st, the pictures are of "MY"
HT-32A, which is currently sitting in my storage unit.
This seller has lifted my description from my
Now that guy has got a set of brass ones. I say we
hunt him down and wire him up to a heavy duty plate
transformer and let Jim throw the switch!
That bogus listing just underscores the fact that
anyone who hides his feedback comments is not worthy
of your business. Honest hams have nothing to hid

Jim,
There is an interesting disclaimer at the bottom of the auction:
"NOTE: Pictures shown are reproduced from the Motorla web site, and not of the
actual item"
I never knew Motorola made an HT-32! :-)

Just my opinion but, this is probably more laziness
and stupidity than fraud. $200+ is just not enough
moola to attract the fraudsters. They will go for high
3 figures or low 4-figures all the time.

Unless I'm completely mistaken I believe that the crystal inside the holder

You can use the mixer as stated or use a microphone transformer to go from
low to high or make a simple 1 transistor amp with a NPN or PNP and it
should work.

The easiest way is to buy a transformer from some place like Guitar

of plug configurations nd they allow you to go from Hi Z to Lo Z or visa

I read that a low-Z mic has a low source Z, but it wants to see a

In the RCA rigs, it's a large oven on an octal base. The xtals used
internally are HC6/u type.
