TenTec Items For Sale:


TenTec 585 Paragon HF Transceiver:

The Paragon is a top of the line transceiver that includes a
general coverage receiver.  It covers 160-10 meters, including
WARC bands, with 100 watts output.  The receiver is fantastic.
It has dual VFOs and many memories built in, along with a
speech processor.  Basically, it has about every feature that
a ham could want in an HF rig.

This particular unit works 100% as best I can tell. Since the
rig does so many things, I am sure that there is something I
didn't test, but I don't know what it is (or I would have
tested it!).  It has had all updates completed by TenTec.

Cosmetically, it is in extremely nice shape.  The front panel
is extremely good.  Most all of the lettering is clean and
crisp.  This one also has the Giehl chip in it making it
similar to a Paragon II.

Large manual and power cord included for $650.


TenTec 238 Roller Inductor Antenna Tuner:

This HF antenna tuner will handle the full legal limit, and will
match almost anything.  It is rated to match loads up to 3000 ohms.

It is an "L" network, which means that there is only one correct
matching point, and not false readings like some tuners.  It has a
roller inductor that permits matching all HF bands, including the
WARC bands.

In addition to the tuner, it also includes a wattmeter with 200
and 2000 watt scales, plus SWR bridge.  There is also an antenna
switch built in, so this unit will handle all of your antenna
needs.

This particular unit works fine, and looks extremely nice.  I can
not find a scratch or defect on it.  With paper work for $395.


TenTec Model 258 RS-232 interface board w/258-IBM Software
This accessory will add a computer interface to TenTec HF
transceivers. I know for sure it works with the 585 Paragon,
and my memory says it also works with the Omni V, and I
think the Omni VI, although I think certain interations of
the Omni VI included it as standard.  It consists of a plug
in board, plus cabling to a DB-25 connector.
In addition to the hardware, I also have the software, for
use on a standard PC.
It is in good shape and works fine.
$135 for both the hardware and software


TenTec 301 "Tuning Pod"
This unit can be used with an Omni V and Omni VI, and I think
most of the TenTec rigs that use an optical encoder.  It permits
one to tune the rig from a semi-remote location.  This one works
fine and looks very close to new.  With paper work for $125.


TenTec 288, 1800 Hz filter
1800 hz for wide CW, narrow SSB or digital use
Fits Corsairs, Paragons, Omni V and VI, and others.
It looks like new, with paperwork. $75


TenTec Power Supplies:

TenTec 961 power supply with speaker
Produces 20+ amps at 13.8 Volts DC.
This supply matches the Corsair II, Paragon, and Omni V/VI series.
A nice speaker is included.  This particular unit works 100% and
looks very good.  Paper work is included for $150.

TenTec Model 280 power supply, 20 amps at 13 V DC
This supply is quite heavy duty electrically. It has 2 pass 
transistors, instead of the one that some have. It also has an
ammeter on it.
This one works fine, and looks OK as well.
A previous owner removed the molded in TenTec power
cable on the back and added very heavy binding posts,
so that it can be used with many different rigs and
not just TenTec. It also has a couple RCA jacks for
lower power use.
With paper work for $100.

"Switcher / 25" 25 amp switching power supply:
This is a 25 amp switching power supply in a case that
matches the early Omni series case, with the metal bezel
around it. It is in a case that is the same size as a 243
remote VFO. It has an ammeter on the front, along with
Switch, TenTec logo, and output bulb. The front panel
basically looks like a 280 power supply with a metal bezel,
but says "Switcher/25" on it. It is very quiet, and well
shielded, and does not produce any electrical noise that
I could find. $150


TenTec 705 desk microphone
This electret desk mic has the 4 pin connector, with PTT and
"hold" buttons.  It works great, and looks like new.
With paper work for $75.


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
