I have a Triton 540 for sale, it is about a 7 to 8 in appearance, and works 
100% (most of the time) It has a problem in that from time to time the audio 
will have what sounds like static, or "popping"  "crackling" sounds. the 
receive sigs are still there, but the noise is about the same level. It will 
stop with a "POP" and is quiet again. It's hard to explain the symptoms, but it 
sounds like maybe a cap is breaking down or something like that. I took the 
IF-AGC board out and reheated some of the joints and it seemed to fix the 
problem for several days, but it is starting to do it again. Also, I am running 
it from a 12 vdc battery and not a 13.8 vdc supply. I don't know if the 
slightly lower voltage is a contributing factor or not. The PTO has been 
rebuilt and is smooth. has a new dial cord. Includes the optional CW filter and 
noise blanker. I have the original manual, complete, but the pages are loose. 
It puts out full power andI believe it has all the 10 meter xtals.   Has the 
power cord that will connect to a standard non ten tec supply and has a relay 
wired in line so that the front panel on-off switch will work with any supply.  
 I will sell it as-is and ship and insure it in the lower 48 for $140.00. 
Please email with any questions. I can send a pic of it for those who are 
interested.

thanks
