I also have a language problem: I have neurological impairments, and so, I use
a screenreader.
I, also, have considered kits. Elecraft lists kit builders, free-of-charge for
handicapped. The fee is quite reasonable for everyone else. It is not limited
to Elecraft kits, if you ask the kit builder. The Elecraft website has a list
with their contact information.
Otherwise, a member of an amateur radio club reasonably near you may build
kits. If so, that person or club may be willing to "Elmer" you in kit building
skills.
I did learn to solder and to remove solder at class at a ham fest, a useful
skill.
I also saw how the vise and attached magnifying glass for fly-tying are very
helpful for soldering small parts.
I hope this information helps you.

Subject: [TenTec] Ten-Tec Kit MODEL 1320
Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 22:43:28 +0200
Hi Al
Hello everyone
I am not at all bothered by sales messages Ten-Tec equipment or whatever, I
just want a special list for troubleshooting Ten-Tec QRP or QRO.
And I thought I might have made a mistake in listing, HI
I may also be interested in equipment or parts,
and I know that some lists are only for sale, and others do not want to talk
entrendre sales ... so I'm a bit cautious ...
I ask because I'm new to this list
I am 62 years, the license was passed in 1974 and I practice primarily digital
modes, but also the voice and some CW unfortunately forgotten for a long time
(very hard, HI)
Now that I am retired I have more time.
I was 2 years ago on a list Ten-Tec Jupiter, but I do not know if it still
exists, I do not get anything.
I looked for a list that speaks for repairs and modifications to the
transceivers, and right now I am indeed interested in repairing my little kit
model 1320 bought used indeed.
And voila, it's very simple.
I will first read carefully the instructions of the kit may be talking to some
adjustments, because I have never built a kit Te-Tec, and I would learn things
may be, but it will be difficult because I do not understand English.
Then I disassemble the component board and I would look for the problem
starting with the chemical capacitors.
73s to all

Jean-Paul,
As noted, this list is both for technical discussion and offering Ten-Tec
gear
for sale. I saw your previous post about the 1320 problem - I would answer it
but I haven't ever owned any of the 1300 series rigs or repaired them.
You don't have to reply to another message to post to the list - if you look
at the bottom of the message you'll see the "TenTec..." email address where
you can start a new topic or post a question about some equipment. In the
case of your 1320 problem, for example, you could send a message to the list
with a subject like "1320 repair question". That might get you more responses
than just replying to another message would as some people may just look at
the subject of a message and delete it if they don't think it is of interest.
Hope this helps. Feel free to email me direct if needed.
73, Al
