The advantage of the older, tube-based radios is that they were designed with discrete components, most of which are available today. No custom CPUs or ICs. It's a known fact that, in electronic equi
Great find, Paul! This brings me to one of my major peeves about ham swapmeets today. Even 10 years ago, it was difficult to find any gear from the 50s or 60s at our local swapmeet. It was mostly wal
Thanks, Ken. I inadvertently overlooked Orlando. Glad to hear that they are doing so well. It's also interesting to hear that the commercial area is doing so well. One problem that we had when hostin
Interesting about the HW-9 station, Bill. I've been thinking about selling mine, given that I have a K1, K2, FT-817 and QRP+ (which I might sell because I have a ++). I can appreciate the nostalgia f
you might want to keep an eye on the "Used Equipment" section of Ten-Tec's website. Better yet, maybe call Stan or Stewart. The repair department recently finished checking the Omni VI+/564, 961 p/s-
Tom, in my case I traded my Omni VI+ (which I loved), matching speaker-p/s and 238 tuner in toward the purchase of a new Eagle. I also reclaimed a lot of real estate on my operating desk. 73 de Jim -
We saw a similar trend when the Orion and Omni VII were released. It will happen anytime that Ten-Tec comes up with a new radio that trumps the older technology. 73 de Jim - AD6CW ___________________

For those who feel slighted at not getting a full 100 watts on all bands, has anyone taken the time to call Tech. Support at Ten-Tec to ask why this is happening? I'm not sure if John Henry monitors

John, at that price I'd be surprised if you haven't had several offers already. Wasn't it about $695 new? Also, there's quite a demand for that particular radio. I'm on the fence about selling mine.
Jean Paul, it is acceptable to discuss any Ten-Tec item here on this list. While there are specialized groups on Yahoo for the Omni VII, Orion and Eagle, this is the generalized Ten-Tec list. Selling

Gang, I'm considering selling my Ten-Tec Argo 556. It is the QRP (5w) version of the 555 Scout. Included is the 40m band module. I also have the following band modules: 10, 12, 15, 17 and 30m No manu
Allan, I have one. I traded my Omni VI+ in to Ten-Tec and they didn't want the manual or filters. If someone doesn't offer who has ready access to one, let me know and I'll look for it. 73 de Jim - A
