Selling my Ten-Tec Delta 580 to pay for holiday purchases. Spent $285 in July for realignment, tune-up and 30-meter crystal. Works well on all bands, but PTO needing rebuild. Dont want to fool with i
I recommend Clairmont-Skyland Radio and TV, Gainesville, GA. 404-636-5909. He fixed a similar problem with my Delta 580. He works on older Ten Tecs. See reviews on eHam Reviews. Sent from my iPhone
I have a Ten Tec 544 (digital Triton 4). The frequency display on 40 meters has gone crazy, throwing up random numbers on all digits, constantly changing, even when not tuning. It tunes in stations b
Found the problem may be heat related. After turning rig off for a few hours, when I turned back on, display worked fine for about an hour, then started going crazy again, only on 40 meters. Sent fro

I recall seeing a QST ad by Amp Supply, sometime in the 1980s, where that radio was advertised, along with other Amp Supply equipment. I recall thinking it looked just like the Argosy-D. Winston K4CW

I also have PM-3A and PM-2A. I recall reading somewhere in Ten-Tec instructions, many years ago, that the extra loading caused the TX to shift enough for offset. Also, the need to tune down on high s

I also have a Signalizer which I bought used several years ago. I don't have a manual, but I recall seeing some ads for it in the mid 70s. I think it dates back to the first Triton series. Got mine o

I first got on the air as a novice in 1960, using an AR-3 with a home brew 1625 rig. Had only two 40 meter crystals. Send CQ, then tune around for reply. Receiver drifted all over the place, but was

Have excellent, one-owner Ten-Tec Jupiter for sale. Bought new at 2001 Ten-Tec Hamfest. Has built-in tuner. Used only in AC, smoke free home. $700, cashiers check or money order. Preference given to
I'd guess the going price is about $100-150 if the unit is still working. They were mainly made for the original Argonaut series, but would also work nice with some of the newer QRP rigs, with the pr
I was tempted to buy the Pegasus when it first came out but waited for the Jupiter for the same reason -- It has knobs which is more like ham radio to me. However, it also can be operated in the Peg
I've read the Ten-Tec online material about the new CW personality upgrade for existing Jupiters, but I'm not sure on some things: 1. Is the PLD upgrade software included in the Version 1.30 software
I did something wrong in the updating of my Jupiter. Now I have only a blank, green screen. It will take no programming and I get an error message when I try to run the firmware update. Can anybody h
I also once owned an Omni A (analog) and the later Omni C. Both are great rigs. However, there was a design problem in the Omni C on 17 meters that was due to the conversion scheme used. I've heard
