Vintage RARE Rockwell Collins HF-8023 1kW Amplifier & Matching HF-8032 Power Supply

Up for sale is a Rockwell Collins HF-8014A Synthesized HF Exciter, a core component of the legendary Collins HF-80 series of high-performance communications equipment.

This unit is the "brains" of the transmitter, responsible for generating a precise, stable, and low-power RF signal across the entire HF spectrum. The signal from this exciter is then sent to a power amplifier (like the Collins HF-8023) to be boosted to full power. Its synthesized design allows for precise digital frequency control without the need for individual crystals.

This unit also has military provenance, as the HF-80 system was used in the U.S. Military's AN/TSC-60(V) communications shelters.

Key Features & Specifications:

  • Manufacturer: Rockwell Collins

  • Model: HF-8014A

  • Function: Synthesized HF Exciter / Low-Power Transmitter

  • Frequency Range: 2.0 MHz to 29.9999 MHz

  • Frequency Steps: 10 Hz resolution

  • Modes: LSB, USB, ISB, CW, AM, FSK (data modes)

  • Output Power: Low-power drive signal (typically 100mW) designed to feed a power amplifier.

System Context:

This is the matching exciter for the Collins HF-8023 (AM-7163A) 1kW amplifier and the HF-8032 (PP-7830) power supply. It is the essential first link in the transmitter chain of a complete Collins HF-80 system.

Terms of Sale:

Please examine all photos carefully as they are the primary description of the item's condition. This is vintage, surplus electronic equipment.

Previously used condition - Untested, selling as-is for parts, repair or restoration. Scuffs and scratches from many years of use and handling. Inside is very nice. Unit has a slight electronics burning smell when powered on so maybe one or more capacitors need to be replaced or it does not like being turned on without anything attached. I limited powering on to less than 15 seconds at a time, for either potential cause.
