The Diamond SD-330 HF aerial. £419.95
The antenna comprises a base loaded electrinically tuned
"screwdriver" antenna with a flexible whip mounted on a spring coil. The
total height is 1.7m approx depending on frequency. From the antenna
is a detachable DC cable with a total length of approx. 22ft of DC feed
cable. This includes a short detachable length at the car end which
comprises a remote up/down press button unit and a cigar plug. The
current drawn is just 100 mA.
Tuning is achieved by pressing either the up or down button and
listening for the signals to peak in strength. This is very noticeable
and gets you very close to minimum VSWR. Any fineup/down adjustments can
be carried out with the radio's aVSWR meter. The antenna has a large
diameter base coil and can be tuned to any frequency in the range 3.5 -
30MHz.
Brief Specs:
* 3.5 - 30MHz
* 200 Watts SSB
* Overall length 1.7m
* Base connector PL-259
* DC cable length 22ft terminated cigar plug
* Remote up/down controller.

Green Light Labs LLC, GPS-710 coming to LAMCO
Green Light Labs GPS-710
£109.95 + P&P
- Simple plug-and-play design (less than 5 minutes to install)
- Clutter-free attachment to TM-D710 Operation Panel
- High performance GPS engine
- Very low power: 0.2 Watts
- Always-on design for instantaneous radio start up
- RJ45 jacks employ integrated ferrites for improved noise immunity
- Fully shielded, high quality jumper cables
- Fully FCC Class B tested
- RoHS compliant
The GPS-710 is a custom built, uncluttered, plug-and-play solution for adding a stand-alone GPS to your Kenwood TM-D710 or RC-D710 radios. It uses an excellent 20 channel SiRF-III GPS chipset (with WAAS, ENGOS, and MSAS augmentation) that can acquire GPS lock from a cold start in well under 60 seconds. The active internal antenna has proven to be extremely capable of maintaining GPS lock, even in very unfavorable mobile installations. The GPS remains powered even while the radio is off, and provides data immediately when the radio is powered on - instantaneous position lock. The GPS-710 draws about two-tenths of a Watt from the line, and does not present a significant standby drain to an automobile battery.
As you can see from the photo below, the GPS-710 is hidden well behind the Operation Panel. The GPS-710 is attached to the Operation Panel with automotive-grade "high bond" adhesive tape, designed to maintain a strong bond in temperatures up to 200F, which is well above the operating temperature limits of the radio. For anyone not wanting to mount the GPS-710 to the back of the Operation Panel, optional separation kits (6" and 24") are available.
The shielded serial jumper uses molded right-angle connectors with an integrated strain relief. The data jumper uses a double shielded cable that follows the Kenwood design for signal shielding. The wires are cemented into the RJ-45 (CAT6) connectors before being crimped into place and the resulting connection is extremely reliable. Every GPS-710 is individually tested on a TM-D710 before packaging.
The GPS-710 is FCC Class B certified as a peripheral device to the TM-D710/RC-D710. The RJ-45 jacks on the GPS-710 employ high quality EMI filters, so additional ferrites are not commonly needed. An open "pass-through" 2.5mm serial jack is provided, as can be seen below, so that an external device can be attached to the TM-D710 and/or GPS-710 serial output signals. An example of attaching the GPS-710 to a laptop (APRSISCE, APRSPoint, UI-View32) is given here.
The mounting bracket and COM port are both completely usable with the GPS-710 installed.

LAMCO Feedback
Here is some feedback we have recently received in the shop.
'Purchase of ( Second User ) Icom IC-7600
I am writing to thank you for my recent purchase of the above transceiver from your firm.
I was dealt with in a courteous and friendly manner on the phone and the equipment arrived via FedEx the following day at 0950 hrs.
As you said, the transceiver is in excellent condition and looks brand new! I am impressed with the relatively quiet transceiver and the ease of using the equipment. I have it sitiing beside my ( second hand ) FT 2000 and am also surrounded by old Collins equipment-KWM-2As , S line, Drake Line etc, etc. Also TS940, TS850, Eddystone X s etc- so have plenty of rigs - collected & cherished over the years - to compare it with rather than having to rely on memory! I have only needed to look at the Manual for the IC 7600 on a few occassions- up til now. So, the operation of the rig is as intuitive as has been said.
I will be pleased to recommend your firm based on my experience of dealing with you.'
