- My grandson has taken an interest in my ham radio activities and would like to become a ham. In my search for a good radio for him to listen to the bands, I have decided that a Ten-Tec Delta 580 woul

- There are a whole bunch of rigs which would be similar. The earliest, Triton, Triton II, Triton IV, Centurty 21 and 22, and first Omni had analog displays. There was a digital Trition 4 and later Omn

- Darrell, Geoffrey is correct on the CW. For that age the rig better be a simple dial arrangement with band switch for interest in hearing what is on thair. Too often on more "sophisticated" (Let's ca

- With the older TT rigs, like the old Omni and Corsair lines, all you have to do to disable transmit is pull the jumper from the keying loop (TX EN - TX OUT). I doubt you'd have any problem with a you

- I agree - I had tons of fun with a 'coat-pocket' SW reciever (with SSB reception, of course). Listened to Howard Stern on the walk to school, Eric in the Evening late in the night, and 75M AM on the

- Just a thought... I started with the Omni VII.... that is a good "starter rig" also.... Help the economy and get him started in good form for sure ! He is worth it, right ? ! ? ! ? Happy trails ! (Bu

- Just to jump into the fray. Listening to short wave is still enjoyable.. Just not in the same place or as plentiful. I don't know if the foreign stations still send QSL cards but I still have several

- Thanks for all the great replies! This list is indeed a great resource. Here's what I have learned about the Delta 580: The base radio came with only an SSB filter and crystals for 160, 80, 40, 20, 1

- I am not sure your info is correct. My 580 that I have now came with the WARC bands, CW filter, SSB filter. At present the 580 is the only HF radio that I have and am very pleased with it. Paul Gates
