QRP Parts... (specifically)...this page is for qrp homebrewers/fixers and tinkerers...like myself!!! --- Unlike other QRP suppliers/electronics suppliers .. I do the wee small orders AND I have a much wider variety of items (but my stock quanitites somewhat limited) o I do the small orders and fill in the cracks sort of thing......73 Earl Andrews VE3AB

Argonaut spares for 505, 509, 515 and Ten Tec Scout. Above pictured 2 new finals with associated 2.2 ohm resistors on the emitter leads. I have plenty of QRP final output transistors and I can match them using my test jig --- I recently went out and bought some MRF237 transistors to try out as final output transistors for the Ten Tec Argonaut 505 and 509s. These are metal can packs. I think they might work well as replacements transistors. They are vhf transistors but I think they work at hf quite well.

I pretty well have all the qrp building parts in stock. I dont have a great deal of stock by individual quantity ..as a rule of thumb..but I can help out with a few parts here and there. --- THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS.. I have about 550 MV1662 type varactor diodes. I DO BUY IN BULK IF I can get a good deal!!

MV209, AND OTHERS
PIN DIODES
MPM3404 and MPN3700 Close to same price as Kits and parts dot com ..and I ship in envelope for only $1.50 in canada and $2.80 in USA (I do small orders and inexpensive postage).
Basically I have many of the qrp parts and lots more. I am trying to list everything but it is a big big job. Just email me with your parts list and I can give you an honest quote.
I do the small orders ie mostly up to 20 parts or so. -- For bigger orders..I would recommend you go to the QRP ARCI web page and look through their list of parts suppliers
under "LINKS" and go to places like Dans Small Parts and Kits, QRP ME, Hendricks QRP, Kanga , Oak Hills research, Kits and Parts dot com.
NOTE: For Canadian Orders in particular...I can ship a small parts order across Canada for about $1.50 in a padded envelope and I dont charge any more than that. Prices are
sometimes a wee bit higher than Dans or W8DIZ but my shipping makes up for that in some cases. I
Parts List of semiconductors, ICs and transistors that are commonly used in QRP projects.. list started ... 17 Jan 2012...I am adding more very shortly as I am working on the Parts Pages and doing Inventory in my basement shop this winter 2012.

My smallest ORDER SO FAR.. a fellow wanted a single slug from a 1/4 inch slug tuned core from a Ten Tec PM2 ! I supplied it for only $1 plus postage! -- Yes I do the small orders that some companies or small businesses would not normally do. THAT IS MY "THING" ! -- 73 EARL VE3AB

$1.00 each --
same price as
kits &
parts.com
(2N2219A)
I try and keep
my prices down
and I only mark
my items up by
a slim 20 to 30
pct.
$1.00 each -- same price as kits & parts.com (2N2219A)-- some of
these are JAN marked (Joint Army Navy) New Old Surplus. I buy
items at flea markets and garage sales and over the internet.
Items like these surplus transistors can be tested before shipment
to ensure they are good. ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES that
could have been damaged by static..I sell to HAMS at on the honour
system. Try the part in your circuit..if it works..pay me..if no go ..then
I will refund your money. This is a rule of thumb for items I have
bought second hand ie garage sales...retirement sales..SILENT KEY
SALES..ect.
I buy solid state components for radio (mainly) from hobbyists getting out of the hobby ect. my email is ve3ab@rac.ca

I have MRF237 final transistors which supposedly work well in the Argonaut 505
and 509. Also I have MRF476/2sc2075 high power Argonaut 515 finals. I matched
a pair in my test jig and installed them in my Argonaut 515. I can almost get 9
watts output from them. I match components no extra charge or maybe $1 in
some cases. -- MY PRICES make it worth it to deal with a Canadian cross border.
As far as anyone in Canada supplying QRP SPECIFIC parts and older solid state
parts..."I think I am the only one doing this specifically"
Attention QRPers... I have just received my order for Quantity 30 -- 2SC5739 TO-220 package Transistors. These were used by W8DIZ in projects like his 10 watt amp and other QRP rigs. My price $3.25 and I can send in a padded envelope for $1.50 in Canada or about $2.80 to USA and a bit more overseas. I have many qrp parts..I havent got them all on my web site ..just ask ve3ab@rac.ca

I'm the ONLY QRP specific distributor of small parts for projects and radio repair IN CANADA.
I BUY PARTS AND BROKEN RADIOS as well.
|
I do BOARD LEVEL REPAIRS BY MAIL ORDER..$10 per hour bench rate. I can test boards in my Argonauts or FT301 or Atlas 210x and I can replace components (rebuilds).
I can repair simpler radios like HW7, HW8, PM2 and other qrp radios..(mail order)..also..I BUY BROKEN RADIOS $$$$$$
|
I do parts trades..ie trade good parts for broken rigs/unwanted rig..ie Ten Tec Argonaut 505 509 and 515 HW8 HW9, century 21/22 Ten Tecs and other classic older rigs mostly from the 70s and 80s. but some others could be considered as well. IF you see a price that is too high..let me know..I can adjust prices and I will try to match prices with other parts sellers. Pretty hard to do in some cases..but I can try. 73 Earl VE3AB -- not all my stuff is listed yet...takes a long time to type all the stuff in!! Prices I can adjust and I try to accomodate the small orders that I receive (usually only a few orders every week)... hobby business/activity.

if..you are building or fixing something and need a few capacitors or coils or resistors..I can dig some up for you to combine in with your order.
I dont do big orders of capacitors and coils and these kinds of PASSIVE components..(not really much money in it to tell you the truth) ..BUT as a service ..I will send along some of these components (and I can measure them as well) to round out your order.
