Well, I haven't seen any mention of this one. but my first TenTec was a
borrowed Argonaut. Having been inoculated, when I found a TT TX-100
transmitter in a ham store in southeastern Pennsylvania, I had to have
it. In fact I still do, After a few attempts to use my AR-3 as a ham
receiver, I went through several receivers before buying a Drake 2-b
from a local ham who had more than he needed. This pair served me well
until my general license was obtained. The TX-100 is now matched with a
RX-10 receiver and and finally last year, a model 200 VFO. I have used
them as a team twice and twice have blown out the dual gate mosfet used
as a mixer in the RX-10. I promise to never again attempt to use the
internal antenna switching between the RX-10 and the TX-200. That 100
watts seems not be be desired by the mosfet mixer in the RX-10
(As an aside, if anyone has a 40604 or maybe even a 40673 that is
surplus to their needs, Let me know )
The pair sit unpowered but seemly happy above my Jupiter.
